Container Gardening Method
with T&J Enterprises Products
Goals we are meeting that contribute to why this method works so well.
Supply plentiful quantities of high performing natural soil life in the form of Bacteria and Mycorrhizal Fungi to generate organic acids used to solubalize minerals.
Supply low level NPK nutrients from natural forms that will sustain the soil life over the life time of the plant.
Supply a wide range of minerals for the soil life to process over the life time of the plant.
Initially use potting soil with no chemical fertilizers added. The potting soil provides a medium to hold all the ingredients and give stability to the plant. The potting soil provides a structure to allow air and water to flow in where the plant roots are growing. We want the mixture to retain water, be open to air flow, and to hold onto nutrients.
We want the container contents to warm up quickly to provide a thriving environment for the soil life and for the plant roots. This will extend the season because we won't have to wait for cold ground soils to warm up.
This method must offer low maintenance levels.
We want high yields of delicious tasting high quality (high brix) fruits and vegetables.
Goal 1 is met when BioVam mycorrhiza is put onto plant roots at the time of planting. Our Soil Life Microbe Tea product also provides a generous multitude of bacteria and fungal soil life when the planting medium is periodically sprayed. The soil life processes the organic material and minerals via organic acids into soluble nutrients which the plants can best utilize.
Goal 2 is met when Biosol Mix 7-2-3 natural organic fertilizer is mixed all through the potting soil. The organic material in Biosol Mix requires microbial action to make it available to plants and to cause plentiful organic acids to be generated by the bacteria and fungi.
Goal 3 is met when we mix the Planters II, Lime, Soft Rock Phosphate, and Gypsum into the planting medium. There is a portion of those minerals which are quickly made available to plants and a portion which is slowly released over a lengthy period of time by the organic acids from the soil life.
Goal 4 is met when a rough textured potting soil is used. In subsequent years the potting soil may be amended with perlite or vermiculite.
Goal 5 is met when the container is placed in a sunny location. The containers can easily be moved inside at the end of the season to continue plant growth and produce production.
Goal 6 is met because there are no weeds to pull when one grows in potting soil in containers. The plants grown with this method are not bothered by insects or diseases. No pesticides are needed with this method of growing. It's easy to set up a drip line to get water available to the plants and Soil Life.
Goal 7 is met because the food grown with this method of gardening is high quality (high brix), great tasting, high in volume, and quite nutritious. It isn't long before you notice how much better you feel after eating produce grown using our products in your own containers or garden soils.
