    The wooden container has been sitting around the farm for years. Finally found something useful to do with them. We used to haul pecans in them, now we use trailers. We have aprox 1000 pecan trees in the orchard.

    Seems like my plants have just stopped thriving. Every thing has been growing like crazy up to about a week ago. Now everything seems to be the same. hmm

    How deep is your dirt and water? Wicking only works up to 12” and that goes down as the water level goes down.

    Re: Around the farm

    Hi Swamp Creek... Might want to watch the ph....I know my plants seem to stop suddenly, after I've done several 'top offs'. My city water raises the PH.
    That, and here in central FL...it's turned beastly hot, which slows/stops the growth of plants. Exception to that rule is, the weeds in my yard...
