We usually don’t get a lot of peas forming in the depths of winter (plants struggle a bit in the extreme cold)
.
They tend to come good as we exit winter and enter early spring (they peak then) but we are stoked to be having a nice early supply 😋

Ever tried CARBONATED WATER as a short-term fertiliser boost?
.
Carbonated water at its purest geological form (naturally sourced) can act as a plant fertiliser. This is because it contains carbon dioxide (the building block to photosynthesis) along with dissolved earth minerals (the same minerals you buy as fertilisers from stores)
.
Carbonated water is carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water forming carbonic acid. You often see the effect or carbon dioxide through the efferversence in fizzy soft drinks and sparking water but be aware that the majority of ‘carbonated water’ sold in stores are human-induced with additives, sugars and artificial ingredients
.
PROS ARGUMENT: The carbon element in the water acts as a dissolved form of carbon dioxide so in other words, the plant does not need to work as hard opening up its leaf stomata to ‘breathe’ in carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere to combine with water and sunlight in creating carbohydrates
.
Because plants fed with carbonated water do not need to absorb as much atmospheric carbon dioxide, they also don’t transpire as much, reducing evaporation and allowing them to conserve water and protect themselves from serious risk of dehydration (short-term only). Along with the dissolved and readily available rock nutrients found in pure carbonated water, plants are able to grow large and healthy relatively quickly
.
CONS ARGUMENT: The downside to feeding carbonate water is that not all plants react favourably. Because carbonic acid is weak, it is questioned if CO2 is absorbed by the roots at all and whether photosynthesis can actually occur at all through the roots. Although used in irrigation and hydroponics, research into this area continues..

These young ICICLE RADISHES look like they’ve escaped the mouth of slugs and snails 😍😍😍
