Things to do in the garden this week.
1. Be aware of blossom end rot and the reasons for its development.
This is not a disease but a physiological disorder often caused by soil moisture fluctuation. It begins as a water-soaked spot that becomes brown and fleshy at the base of tomatoes, squash, peppers, cucumbers, and melons. Yes, its proximate cause is a calcium deficiency in the fruit. However, if these crops had been nurtured correctly, the problem never would have developed.
3. You may wish to experiment with sheet composting, also known as cold composting or lasagna composting. It’s much easier than hot composting and can be done at your leisure wherever you wish to create or enrich a garden bed, or enrich the soil around your fruit trees. On bare soil, put down five layers of newspaper or cardboard. Soak with a hose. Cover with a one inch layer of a nitrogenous material such as manure, coffee grounds, kitchen vegetable scraps, fresh weeds or grass clippings.
