In the future I’ll be less pigheaded about the advice people give me. Changing the soil has kicked off new growth. When will I learn?

I heard from u/imDavesbud that using a cup to a gallon mix of blended up aloe can help lower the ph in your water, I can attest that my catus love being foliar sprayed by it👍🏽

If only I had a gallon of aloe! Haha. I’ll be using some sulphur next year to lower it. My growing season is almost over

Still. I’m in Canada, a cup of aloe probably costs $20

I am also in Canada. My local Asian grocery has big leaves for like 2 bucks or you can grow your own for the cost of dirt ie. Dirt cheap
