2 Apr - was maintenance day once again. After harvesting all this lettuce/arugula/spinach (3 bowls worth) and inserting a few more trellises to help support the broccoli, cauliflower and tomatoes, the Farmstand pic shows we could have harvested even more. ph was still holding good.
Trimmed a lot of roots once again. I also needed to add about 5 gallons of water to it. Once it's so full of plants they really suck out the water. It must be through evaporating off the plants. So, I added 3 Tablespoons of ph down along with the nutrients.
Farmstand 2 - is also holding good ph. Seedings are still pretty small or not yet sprouted. Also planted more seeds into the unplanted yet plant cups some were for eventual transplanting into the greenhouse once we get done with all this winter and others will get moved as we harvest and empty out space in Farmstand 1.
3 Apr - after 24 hours I checked the ph to see where it had stabilized at - and low and behold both were at 5.5! Right where I'd hope they'd be.
