have you tried washing the greens in a 2% saline solution (i.e about a
1/4 cup of salt per several gallons of water). Salt in the water allows
the leaves to rehydrate due to the osmosis effect. This also makes the
slugs slid off the greens and die. Lucy Goodman http://boulerbelt.blogspot.com Allan Balliett wrote: I'm still harvesting chard too. When I pick chard, I put the stems in a bucket of water (the same as I would flowers). It seems to stay better that way.I'm doing this, as well. I would think that it would work, but am finding that the stuff picked in the hoop house, even with the house under 60 degrees still tends to go limp. Radishes have been worse! (We grow radishes for the greens.) _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming |
