Looks like an awesome setup! Can you tell us more about your medium? Did you mix in any aeration? Did you mix in your fertilizers or are you top-dressing?

First of all thanks. I do not need to add aeration since farm manure is loaded with hay. Give the best drainage I've had in any soil and it is light and fluffy....plus it's loaded with worms.
for every 100 gallons I put in a box I would dump 1/4 of what I needed for nutes and then worked it into the soil.
The only thing I do differently is with the bulb food. That I always sprinkle right under the root ball...then I make holes around the plant and fill up the holes with the bulb food to make feeding spikes.
I also sprinkled Epsom salts at the 3/4 mark all around the box and mixed that in. :)

Thanks for the details! Sounds like a beautifully simple way to do things.

Me and my veg buddy have been studying the county soil maps. We are looking for where the clay and the sand meet. You find that line, then punch some holes. The holes will be a mix of sand and clay. You pass up the sand and you can find some good topsoil on the edge of the clay. After a while, you get to where you can tell what is going on in the soil by what kinds of trees and bushes are growing. And more important, you learn how the water table is laid out.
