got a variegated wax jambu starting too.. still small, but a bunch of new growth already.. planted within two weeks too.. last week's picture, 11/6.. haha, I already added the seabird guano and worm castings already recently.. the soil will look a bit different..

gozp, I showed you all of them that you asked about I believe.. so everything you asked can be done here.. but the one I do worry about is the soursop.. let's see what happens after a few months.. we had 40s at night just these past few days, so I'll take a look when I get home.. usually it's dark so I wait until the weekend.. or just a fast pass-by to check on the drip system.. as long as all are dripping, then I don't check in detail..

Those dragonfruits looks exquisite.

I heard good stuffs about seabird guano and worm castings.


Have u tried putting compost tea by boogie brew & dominated fungi in your soil?

yeah, I used azomite before, but it didn't really seem helpful.. the two best ones I use are the seabird guano and Dr. Earth (more for flowering/fruiting time)..
Azomite seems to have its lovers, there is some information out there that suggests that it is snake oil.

Just an update.

We constantly have had a temperature of below freezing or 29 farenheit(an exposure of 4hours) here in the valley for three straight days.

And im glad to say that all my tropical are alive except the part that some of my longgan leaves (biew kiew) are damaged.


My guanabana/ soursop is still alive & no shedding of leaves.
