Need Honest Opinion
Like I’m getting major rain here. 3 “ yesterday and raining now. I would like to do a major fish emulsion maybe tomorrow with maybe higher concentrate than normal than the two table spoons per gal to maybe 3.
I would like to dispense my favorite Black Kow poop and maybe for a then top coat if I don’t find bags saturated to buy. I can’t believe the earthworms that have come up to the tops of my beds and they are my buddies and will not harm them. Don’t have names for all of them yet. |

I am not sure what you are asking, but with the rain you are getting I wouldnt worry about adding anything at all right now. With mother nature giving your plants that much water, I dont know that I would do anything until the soil has dried up some, and then maybe do something if anything at all depending on what you have already done, amendment and fertilizer wise. With fish emulsion, or manure which you would water in, you would be adding more moisture which isnt needed at this point and it may be awhile before you need to water again.
You will probably get more detailed advice, but I wouldnt do anything at this point except target your next fungal control application whatever it might be once the rain has ended. Just my thoughts |

I had a major rain here a few years ago--so major it caused a 100 year flood in this part of the state. Many of my plants never recovered because of damage to the roots. Let things dry out. You know what they say in aviation. Hold what ya got. ;-)

It rained all day here again. I'll just leave them alone.
