Topics: Joey and Holly talk what is the mittleider garden method,
Mittleider came up with this method in the mid-70’s
Mittleider grow box. The box is basically a raised contained bed with the bottom in contact with regular soil. The substrate used to fill the box is soilless, roughly one-third sand and two-thirds sawdust. The highlights of Dr. Mittleider’s system begin with the idea that crops can be grown in any soil with the proper nutrients introduced and in a closely planted small space. He believed that even a 4-foot Mittleider grow box was sufficient to fulfill much of an individual’s produce needs.
The substrate can contain several different mediums but is generally a 50-75 percent sawdust or peat moss mixture with 50-25 percent sand, perlite or Styrofoam pellet addition. The first part has good water retention while the lesser part has very little. Seeds are closely sown and vertical gardening assistances are installed to enhance space and encourage upward growth.
The remainder needed to be injected into the soil. Plants are fed with the nutrients every week rather than traditional methods which only fertilize a few times during the plant’s life span. The water system is another important aspect. Directly running lines to slowly water roots daily rather than soaking the area several times a week provides a more economical and beneficial uptake. Formulating Your Own Mittleider Fertilizer You can go to the Food for Everyone Foundation and order the packets of micronutrients, which are then mixed with 3 pounds of Epsom Salt and 20 pounds of 16-8-16, 20-10-20 or 16-16-16-16 NPK organic fertilizer. The micronutrients in the packet are calcium, magnesium, sulfur and 7 trace elements.
