mixed_mature_ornamentals
Planned next action
Recipe: ust-bahce-ornamentals-K-Mg-biology-monthly
When: next 24h+ dry morning · morning (06:30-08:30)
Riva lab K LOW + Na DANGEROUS; biology excellent. Recipe corrected after user clarified Eceabat data is NOT Riva.
Watering regime
Summer: weekly deep soak (established mixed bed)
Cooler: every 2-3 weeks
Method: Stick finger 5 cm down at base of representative shrubs — water if dry. Mature mixed ornamentals are drought-tolerant once established.
Source: Tap OK (Na not problematic here per lab); rainwater bonus
⚠ Phyto-watch (3)
K deficiency per Riva lab (53 ppm LOW) — affects all Riva including ornamentals
→ Monthly Quadro-K drench (same recipe as palm/jasmines): 15 mL Quadro-K + 5 mL Base-Line + 5 mL Alga-Line per 10 L water, slowly across drip lines
Na 379 ppm DANGEROUS salinity per Riva lab — applies to this zone too
→ Once gypsum sourced: 2-4 kg/m² broadcast + deep leaching across the bed. Best timing autumn before rains.
pH 8.0 + Excess Lime HIGH — slow correction needed for long-term plant health
→ Annual elemental sulfur 2-4 kg/10 m² + compost top-dress. Biology already excellent (SHC 13.72) — protect with OM.
