First, the clumps that I cleaned up, divided, and replanted, on 15 April 24. Some were in a smaller container some in the container that I cleaned up and replanted them in. That reestablished a nice colony. I was careful to mulch deeply with tree leaves. They are on the irrigation drip line.
Those are ready for a harvest. I do give some nitrogen fertilizer about once a month, since they are a leafy vegetable and already have a deep, vigorous root system.
This week I also replanted another container, dividing the plants and replanting in rows in a raised bed.
I mixed crushed eggshells, coffee grounds, and chicken bone meal into the soil.
They also have a mulch of used coffee filters, covered with a leaf mould mulch. They are on the drip lines. I don't know if they will re-invigorate enough for a crop later this year. Maybe.
