All people must strive rising pineapple. It is low cost, takes up little or no house, and works in a pot. I am not a really expert gardener however I have not killed any pineapples (but) out of about 50+.
Ripping out the garden was the most important problem, I attempted to maintain as a lot soil down as attainable. The grass grew to become mulch beneath the mango and avocado timber.
I stuffed the realm again up with sand and topsoil after which spaced the crops 18 inches aside in rows. I attempted to get every plant on high of a small mound however some sank in additional than I needed. I’ll return and elevate a couple of of them above grade to keep away from rot.
I mulched with some grass clippings and wooden chips. I’ve some oak branches to interrupt down into mulch and that will probably be happening within the subsequent week.
I purchased quite a few crowns from the Dellerman farm again in July, and even the tiny ones that regarded dried out got here to life as soon as potted up and so they rooted effectively. I obtained some lovely Sugarloaf pups from Darcizzle which are the most important crops on the farm. The Florida Land Race pineapples are thriving too. There are fairly a couple of one-offs in there that I obtained from Brett right here on the discussion board. And I nonetheless have about 12 extra in pots that I’m ready to plant.
The one pineapples that gave me bother have been the twist-off crowns from grocery store pineapples! Each single one among them obtained crown rot, after which recovered. This will not be a super time of 12 months to determine pineapples within the floor with all of the rain.
Thanks for all the recommendation and for offering a spot to get the starter materials!
