    Hi everyone, I need more help again!!! Ive prepared the soil in the greenhouse house and dug and dug and sieved the soil to remove them horrible little larvae. I've added blood fish and bone and chicken manure to fertiliser the soil it's been in about 2 weeks. The soil is still bare ( no plants) but it's very dry, do I water the bare soil or will it wash the nutrients out before I plant things? :please:
