COF and carrots

Mixed up 4 batches of Complete Organic Fertilizer (COF) today, here are some notes about yields:

  • 20lb bag of Down to Earth brand cottonseed meal
  • 10lb (2, 5lb boxes) of "Searbird Guano" (high phosphate)
  • 5lb box kelp meal (with leftovers)
I should be buying all this in larger quantities as a batch will treat 100 sq ft and my 4 beds are 150 sq feet.

Added COF and compost to NW4, worked it in well then forked the entire bed to break it up and prepare for carrots, which I planted 3-4' of in 6" spaced rows.

Covered the new seeds with towels to prevent them from drying out.
