These are our Arizona raised garden beds. It has been about 10 days since we planted our seeds and look at what's growing now! I have sprayed them one time with the organic fertilizer spray I mix up. To make this organic fertilizer spray yourself is simple.
Mix into a 1 gallon pump sprayer, then fill with water:
1/3 cup of liquid seaweed
1/3 cup fish emulsion
A splash of vinegar
Use this to spray on the tops and bottoms of your leaves as well as onto the ground soil below as a safe and organic fertilizer. I use this about twice a month, may be more in the summer months. It helps to protect from insects, root rot, heat stress as well as having many more great qualities.
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!
