When is the best time to start re-inoculating the soil with liquid compost?
In Texas, we always say ‘NOW!’ The sooner you start, the longer the biology has to adapt and ‘settle in’ and start working for you. Unless the temperature is over 100 degrees F, the ground is frozen, or the moisture level is less than 13%, we will apply liquid compost. Use common sense, however – if a storm is anticipated, don’t apply; if it is drizzling and you aren’t making ‘ruts’ with your machinery, that’s a good time. If the ground is already below 45 degrees F, and you expect a hard freeze tonight, don’t apply. In the summer time try to apply early or later afternoons, as the plant stoma’s are open then – but remember, you are also trying to cover the plant foliage, so better to put out when you can rather than not put out at all.
