Potted plants thriving in pure compost
How are my transplants
doing after being potted
up into pure, well-rotted horse manure? They're thriving! There's
nothing like plenty of nitrogen and humus to make plants grow, grow,
grow.
To my surprise, celery
and a pepper bounced back after being moved from the aquaponics setup
out into a pot in the wild outdoors. Strawberries are already perking
back up from their initial transplant shock. And most of my herbs are
also putting out new leaves.
The one exception? A
huge clump of thyme that I tried to transplant promptly kicked the
bucket. Why is there never enough thyme?

thyme
I think thyme and sage are cat-like, and don't like to be transplanted unless it suits them. Can give you some thyme eventually--but it isn't from Wortroot:)

Thyme
I thought I was the only one complaining about not having enough thyme (time - bad pun, I know.)

I hauled a 4x8 trailer load of well composted horse dung from Wise VA all the way back to Savannah to use in my raised beds- it has worked well thyme after thyme...
