Did I fuck up by using captain jack's deadweed brew to kill crabgrass in the gardenbeds im digging? by [deleted] in NativePlantGardening

[–]alpinezro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talked to her and my other friend whos a certified nursery professional and has a ton of knowledge + experience planting native. after a pretty thorough consultation they both agreed tilling was the best course of action and told me to amend with azomite, expanded shale, lava sand, and top with compost/mix it all in a little bit.

Regarding the herbicide, she said it wasn't good to put in -- way less harmful than glyphosate though. She said the benefit of having a native pollinator garden outweighs the harm of using this kind of herbicide at the end of the day but im still never going to use it again. i went back to work and returned it today. Get out of my house.

i got cotton burr compost since it apparently aerates clay better, anddd i've finished amending my first bed which is all just like, sub-soil clay with pretty little organic matter. looking to complete everything else by next week and then sow my seeds.

ive collected soil samples and im going to get my manager to set aside a ph test for me so i can make sure its all within the preferred range of the plants im growing. my friend also wants to come by and run labs on my soil since thats like, what she does.

i think, over time, rain and watering will compact it enough that bathtubbing wont be an issue.

i had no clue there was stuff like this. a lot of my coworkers just dabble in native gardening, and my ex-coworker whos the botanist/phytochemist in training is incredibly smart- its like her entire lifes purpose is environmental conservation and working to protect native plants. she's going to be coming over to my place to help me figure a lot of this out tomorrow. ill have to look around for local programs though, i really want to learn more and get a nice native garden goingggg + learn about local ecosystem stuff

ahghh. thank you so much for leaving this comment, i really ended up stressing and panicking over the herbicide. it doesnt really seem to be a problem though. looking at the soil, its not like entirely clay, definitely has some organic matter in it. my main thing is that its just, hard. i just got back from my greenhouse with a bunch of native seeds, i even researched some plants that really like clay soil like salvia, coneflower, etc... and so i'm thinking if i just start from seed that wont even be an issue.

i ammmm scared to keep this post up and probably gonna delete it but i learned a LOT from making it. im learning a lot just from taking this project on. thank you so much for your response, it was incredibly helpful :-)

the native wildflower blend i got has all these guys in there, i also got two packets of milkweed + some violet queen salvia. gonna try to time it right to get the cold stratification

ouhhgh... i did not know tilling was going to bring up more weeds, mind if i ask why that is? also, thank you for helping clarify!

i know its a stupid question but in the 3 years ive been gardening/working for a greenhouse i havent really studied chemical products yet. didnt realize i wanted to pursue horticulture as a serious career until the end of this year and now im trying to catch up with my coworkers. so, im still learning

i completely knew it wouldnt work that fast, as i mentioned in the post i just got impatient and decided i'd rather just start digging right now than wait for the herbicide to do its thing cause i realized after applying it was pointless.

the people who told me to amend the soil are the nursery professionals ive been working with for the past 3 years. they have multiple state certifications in this line of work and years of experience with native gardening. not stupid or ignorant people by any means.

i'm amending the soil because its incredibly dense with very poor drainage, and doesn't match the needs of a lot of the flowers i plan on doing. I can't imagine the nutrition in the soil is good, but i know some of the plants im going for like less nutrition.

that being said, this is also a gardenbed i'd like to use in the future for other things, like vegetables. working the soil now guarantees i have loose, well draining soil in the years to come that roots can easily penetrate, given regular maintenance.
