Thank you very much for the info! I have checked my soil and it is around 7-7.5 pH so i need to make it more acidic. As for fertilizer i was thinking of using cow manure and chicken manure, do you think i should ude vegetable fertilizer?
Only my ice cream is in a location that receives full sun and doesnt have that much humidity.
The basjoo, dwarf namwah and dward orinoco have full sun 70-80% of the day and are inside the creek so they have more than enough humidity and i have installed spray type watering for all them.
