2023 our new gardening adventure

[jjannie]

We checked and still an 8.5 so added 2 more scoops and will check again later today. Also checked the melted snow water and it was a 6.5. So, we'll see what ours is later today. 

Tomorrow is our 'maintenance' day and we're supposed to add nutrients and adjust the ph (LOL) and trim any roots (which we won't have any at this point).

Looks like the snow water is a better place to start, but needing 21 gallons will require some effort. Downside of dry fluffy snow, how much snow would you guesstimate per gallon.

It really does depend on the snow - 10in wet snow can yield an inch of water and drier snow it's about gallon per 5gal bucket of snow. This last snow was wet a 5gal of snow left us with 1/2 of bucket of water. Storage could be more of an issue. We agree getting it would be one way to go. Also, we're not sure if in storing it if it will change over time. Guess that would be another experiment we can run so we'd know.
