more from that month
Yesterday was a really offline busy day for me. During the salad harvesting for breakfast I have come to noticed that the Brazilian Spinach hasn't been as healthy as before. I thought it was the driness of the soil, but I realised that the relatively quite unhealthy (maybe also aged) Spinach plants have unusual white spots on the soil. Anyone know is this some fungus infection on the soil or something? In the end I tried scrapping off the whites from the soil, and usually I promised my friend from the @pwdfarmability team that I will never tamper their soil, today is the first time that I replaced the scrapped off soil, around 1 scoop, with organic compost. Well mixed with the original soil of that patch, before I replant some cuttings over that bald patch. #GardenChronicles

I agree with the earlier poster that this is fungus. Does this fungus harm the plants, not affect them in any way, or is it even beneficial? I don't know anything about Brazilian Spinach, but hey, I'm more than happy to blather on and on about things I know nothing about! The internet says this plant is Alternanthera sissoo, and that it can tolerate hot and dry conditions. Is it possible that the soil it is growing in is too wet/damp for it? This @pwdfarmability group seems really cool! Are you able to get them a sample of your soil with the fungus "roots", (technically mycelium, I believe), in it?
