Salad Garden Let’s Get Portable By Chris S. Corby Do you love fresh salads? If so, don’t let cabin fever get you down because you are caught between seasons with no greens to harvest with nothing to do but wait by the fireplace for spring to come. Instead, get out there and plant a portable salad garden. With a little extra effort during those really cold blasts, you can have fresh salad greens all winter long—even if you don’t have a greenhouse. Start by locating some suitable containers. Those black vinyl pots left over from previous plant purchases are excellent. The 1 to 5 gallon sizes seem to work best and the black plastic helps warm the soil and grow the plants. Since your portable salad garden will probably need to be moved several times during the growing season, it is best to avoid the large, really heavy pots. Select a good quality potting soil and add a generous amount of rotted manure (most salad crops like lettuce and spinach will really respond to the nitrogen in the manure). There are also several very good premixed potting soils that contain slow release fertilizer that will work very well for growing containers of salad greens. Once you have suitable containers located and filled with soil, place them in a tray full of water until the soil is saturated. Then plant your seeds just as you would directly in the garden. Place the containers in a warm sunny spot and keep them well watered, using the bottom watering technique to avoid washing the seeds and soil out of the container. If feasible, continue to water using the trays or a drip line with emitters. Lettuce and spinach are two of the most obvious choices for container salad gardens. But you can really get creative if you wish. Try planting Parris Island Cos (Romaine) or Rudy Red (leaf) ringed with radishes. The radishes can be harvested in just a few weeks, allowing extraBe sure to thin plantings so the pots are not crowded. These thinned out plants can be moved to additional containers or added to the salad bowl. Most salad greens are better when harvested when slightly immature. The Ruby Red and Lolla Rossa varieties are so beautiful in containers you may even be tempted to bring them indoors to brighten a gray winter day.
Manure making a comeback: By Kay Ledbetter Manure may not be as
stable or spreadable as commercial fertilizer, but it is right on the
price, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialist said. “When we apply
manure, it comes out in chunks and we don’t know the exact analysis,”
said Dr. Sam Feagley, AgriLife Extension soil environmental specialist.
“But now economics are overriding convenience, and producers even
farther from feedyards are considering the benefits of applying manure.”
Feagley spoke at a
recent feedyard manure educational meeting in Hereford. Attendees
included farmers, crop consultants, feedyard managers and custom manure
haulers. “The agronomic value
of manure has been known for a long time, and the organic content of
manure provides many benefits to soils that cannot be obtained from
commercial fertilizers alone,” Feagley said. A bag of commercial
fertilizer only provides what is listed on the bag, but manure will
provide nitrogen, as well as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, zinc and all the other essential plant
nutrients, he said. “As fertilizer gets
much more expensive, manure is a great value,” Feagley said. “Depending
on the nutrients in the manure that you need, that value goes up. If you
need phosphorus and potassium in addition to nitrogen, you add to the
value.” Feagley recommended
producers meet the nitrogen needs of their crop when applying manure,
and remember to take into account the mineralization rate. With
mineralization, only about 45 percent of the nitrogen, 75 percent of the
phosphorus and 90 percent of the potassium is available the first year,
he said. An additional 5 to 10 percent is available the second year and
another 3 to 5 percent the third year. Fertilization rates
recommended for two-bale-per-acre cotton are 100 pounds of nitrogen, 105
pounds of phosphorus and 120 pounds of potassium. The rates for 40- to
59-bushel-per-acre wheat are 120 pounds of nitrogen, 75 of phosphorus
and 125 of potassium, assuming no nutrients are available to the crops,
Feagley said. During the meeting,
Ben Weinheimer, Texas Cattle Feeders Association vice president,
unveiled a new online Manure Value Calculator that can easily determine
the economic value of manure compared to commercial fertilizer costs. To
access the calculator, go to:
http://www.tcfa.org/forms/ManureVsFert/manure_value_calculator.html.
In meeting the
nitrogen needs and calculating manure application, Feagley said,
producers need to be aware of how much extra phosphorus and potassium
they are getting. To avoid problems,
producers need to apply manure at the needed nitrogen rate through the
third year taking mineralization into account, he said. But after the
third year, do not take mineralization into account and apply at the
nitrogen rate every two or three years, supplementing with commercial
fertilizer in years two and three. Also, Feagley said,
producers need to keep in mind any possible runoff into surface water
bodies, such as a pond or stream, as the phosphorus has the potential to
increase the eutrophication process. Eutrophication is
the natural weathering process of a surface water body. When additional
nutrients, such as phosphorus, are increased in the water, then the
extra nutrients can lead to overgrowth of plants and decreased dissolved
oxygen in the water column. “Know what you are
getting with your manure,” he said. Manure quality,
while still not consistent, is better than in the past because feedyard
owners know how to scrape the pens and get less dirt and cement, in the
mix, he said. The inclusion of unwanted seeds, trash and soil, and its
slow release of nutrients, are considered drawbacks. However, the
advantages to applying manure, Feagley said, are it maintains the
organic matter and adds all essential plant nutrients to the soil. This
helps the soil-air-water relationship, improves soil drainage and the
plant-available water-holding capacity of the soil. Manure is valued by
comparing it to inorganic fertilizers, Feagley said. It is one-third to
one-half as expensive as commercial fertilizer over a four-year period.
“Some producers are
hauling it up to 20 miles, where three years ago haulers wouldn’t go
more than five miles,” he said.
Situate mailboxes on posts throughout your garden to store gardening tools, such as snips, spades, etc., so they will be handy. An old mailbox adds charm, but a new, white mailbox only costs about $20.
Since wireworms attack potatoes, some old time gardening wisdom suggested scattering potato peels around the garden to trap the worms. For this to be effective, you should punch holes in several old tin cans, fill them with potato skins and then bury them near your potato plants. You will need to empty your cans once every week or so and fill with new skins as needed. Austin: The Travis County Master
Gardeners Association, a volunteer arm of the Travis County AgriLife
Extension Service, will present Vegetables for Cooler Times, a free
seasonal seminar that will cover multiple topics pertinent to fall
gardening activities from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., Wednesday,
September 17, Zilker Botanical Garden, 2220 Barton Springs Road,

"Fall Vegetable Gardening" by Patty Leander, a regular contributor to
Texas Gardener, will include the basics of vegetable gardening with the
emphasis on plants and varieties that flourish in the fall and winter
months. Leaves, leaves everywhere! Don’t rake, bag and send it to the
landfill. Learn how to convert leaves and other material into plant
food. It is called compost. Plants adore it. Learn how to make this
magic act happen. Thought only Yankees could grow rhubarb? Wrong! With a
little thinking outside the box, you can grow rhubarb and strawberries,
too, right in your own backyard. Learn how these two favorites can be
successfully in Central Texas. A Plant Clinic will be held during the
entire seminar. Bring your diseased/bug eaten plant, roots and all, in a
plastic bag. Gain knowledge from expert Master Gardeners on action you
can take to remedy the situation. The seminar is free. No reservations
will be taken. For more information, call (512) 854-9600 and ask for the
