I purchased a sprayable plant food that is made by the most amazing American company I have ever heard of. Their name is TERRACYCLE. This nutrient is sprayed directly onto the plant's leaves and soil surrounding the plant once a week. The company packages their product in reused plastic containers. I bought mine in a reused 20 oz soda bottle. What's more, there is no way this will burn your plants in the process. The ingredients are simply worm poop that has been made into a liquid.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, I have been fashioning the equivalent of 4"inch pots by cutting off the top 3/4 of 2 liter soda bottles. They are too tough to simply cut drainage holes in the bottom, so I am considering tooling a hot iron to make them. I am following HARRIS' Farmer's Almanac recommendation and waiting until January 6 to plant. I also purchased a 3-tier shelf for this first planting. Unfortunately, the shelf is made in China.
