Has anyone tried this Xtreme gardening line of products? I would like to know know how Xtreme fruit taste if there is an Xtreme difference or not? I mean I do agree in regards to Gardening being an Xtreme occupation I mean I myself have lost 2 good men to Gardening over the past year alone. So I know just how Xtreme Gardening can be. But I would like to know more about these particular performance-enhancing products guaranteed to yield unlimited super-fruit.
I mean what does cost matter when a company is able to express its vision as clearly this;
"
With Xtreme
Gardening products, gardeners are unlocking their plants true potential and reaching
new levels of production not achieved through conventional inputs." I mean wow I'm in! which is a good thing because I've clicked around their site for a good 20 minutes and cannot find a price. So apparently it doesn't matter just swipe your card, this is Xtreme Gardening! No time for questions we need to unleash the power if our soil immediately, at all cost!
I came across the Xtreme Tea! I thought now here is something useful. I figured I could have a cup or two of this Xtreme Tea and go dancing. Seems it would work best on the dance floor or battlefield, this was Xtreme Tea. Something it seemed you drank after coming within inches of your own life! So as I clicked around to order a bag or two I found out this Tea was much Xtreme for me! There was no guarantee I could survive it! This Xtreme Tea I discovered was for my plants! And they expected me to brew it! So I masked my disappointments and moved on.
Next I looked into more organic and natural products I wanted some Xtreme Bell Peppers, which I figured would turn out some Xtreme burritos! So I clicked around until I came across the "Xtreme Sample Kit" I thought immediately how cool it would be to have an Extremely small amount of each Xtreme product! So I ordered it...or tried to. I went through their website and could not find a price. So I swung on over to Amazon then eBay I found prices there and they lived up to the product name Xtreme. Some of the Xtreme products was asking $60 bucks a shot for a 2.2 Pound bag. So after taking an Xtreme look at the products offered I decided I would continue to "water" my plants, fruits and vegetables and watch them grow as they have been doing for decades.
So I figured I could also create some "Super" soil of my liking and a lot more than 2.2 pounds for a lot less than $60. To cultivate the soul needed to yield "Xtreme Fruits & Vegetables all you really needed was 3 key ingredients. the nice part is you don't have to have all 3 yet anyone of the 3 can contribute significantly to your gardens production.
A good start is also some relatively good soil. Make sure soil is well ventilated, loose and turned often. A nice way to begin is to cover the soil with mulch. Organic mulches are currently the most popular option simply because some people advise against using
high-carbon materials such as straw or leaves, since soil microbes
“rob” available nitrogen from the soil in order to break down the excess
amounts of carbon. This is only true, however, if we incorporate these
high-carbon sources into the soil. However, if high-carbon materials are laid down
on top of soil
as mulches there shouldn't be any problem. Since the mulch retains soil's moisture
and protects against temperature extremes. Microbes, earthworms and
other forms of soil life can “nibble” at the mulch, and slowly
incorporate their residues into the topsoil as well.
Like I was saying earlier its easy as 1,2,3! take a look at the 3 simple methods below to improve your own soil. Remember any and all of them will significantly improve your soil!
1. Fertilizer
One of the best ways to improve soils nutrient content is by adding
organic fertilizer. This is usually in the form of manure from cows,
pigs, rabbits, bats, chickens, and horses. Do not use droppings from
carnivorous animals. Manure should be aged properly before it is used.
This can be done by allowing the manure to dry or by composting it. Once
you add the manure, mix it into the soil well. If you are adding it in
the spring, make sure to do it several weeks before you begin planting.
2. Compost
Adding compost will always improve soil quality. It is comprised of
decomposed or partially decomposed organic matter that provides nitrogen
and potassium to the soil. Compost also encourages the growth of
microrganisms which break down many minerals into a form plants can more
easily absorb. The microrganisms and worms also act as natural aerators
in the soil which help supply oxygen. You can use regular compost which
includes yard wastes and organic kitchen scraps, or leaf mould, which
is a compost comprise solely of leaves.
3. Wood Ash
If you have a fireplace, you can use some of the left over ash to add
to the soil. Wood ash adds nutrients and will also absorb toxins that
the soil has accumulated. Break the charcoal into small pieces and work
it into the soil.
Worst case scenario a good collection of grass clippings and leaves should mulch into something useful. Just remember go for the Xtreme "FREE soil by using these 3 steps for good soil, good homemade soil. I think I;m going to combine some Wood Ash, Fertilizer, and Compost and see if I can produce myself some Xtreme Tomatoes, which hopefully again will translate into some Xtreme Hamburgers! Wish me luck!

Hopefully you read my article on The Basics I wrote the other day. It dealt mostly with the primary how, when and why's of gardening. One of the most important things most gardeners seems to overlook is what's growing where they live. Gardening is a science in many ways so what you plant, when you plant and how you plant really matters for a nice lush productive return on vegetables. So I've placed a Seasonal Foods guide right here on my home page (lower right). The guide is great as it gives you option of selecting your state and the month in which you want to plant. It then displays a list of EVERYTHING that's in season in your state in that month! Its a great guide to have access to 100% free and very accurate so be sure and scroll down and select your state and find out whats growing right now!
