Green compost on top
« on: May 12, 2006, 09:30:21 »
My red cabbages are in plastic cups and I looked yesterday and it was all green on top and they aren't growing very well. Why has it gone green?

I repotted so hope they will be better now

The green will be a touch of mossw/algae. This likes bamp conditions so they may have been a bit wet.

Potting them on will help but try and get them out side into the ground soon as they are perfectly hardy.

The green is algae, indicating wet conditions. I was going to add 'cool' but with our current weather that seems incorrect  :)
