What did you do in the garden today?

Anyone ever used algae as a fertilizer or supplement in the garden? I have a pond that gets algae scum on it. Someone gave me the idea of using a pool skimmer to collect it and maybe use it in the garden?

Is this simply diatomaceous earth? It seems like it.... I have some of that too.

I understand it has little other stuff in it for pests...I actually use both!

I have 15 ft of bed space for tomatoes, along with 2 tire beds. I have 17 tomato starts... I've been trying to decide how I want to prioritize what goes where. I'm thinking 10 plants should fit in the bed space, 1 in each tire planter... Then maybe try to track down some extra 5 gallon buckets for the remaining 5? I hate throwing out perfectly good starts....

I get grow bags off of amazon. Super cheap for many of my tomatoes! I got 8 five gallon grow bags for $20 just a few weeks ago. Shop around on amazon.. look for best deal.

Took a walk thru the garden between rain drops - I planted 3 Egyptian Walking Onions upside down. Yep, fixed em.

The garden store had nothing interesting. I walked out with a flat of pansies & a big bag of potting soil.

First batch of raw pack chicken chunks is almost done canning.

Would that make them Australian Walking Onions?

Properly processed coir is not salty, but apparently this brand was NOT properly processed. That has GOT to be part of my issue, but can't be all of it as other brands are doing fine.
I'll switch up the seed mix today and start over for the transplants and new starts.
