Vegetable Gardening

webs

10 years ago

After two days of rain showers I noticed this morning that all of my containers and raised beds have webs on the soil surface, both in my garden and on the other side of my property by my garage.

What are these and do I need to worry about them? I also noticed these webs after the last batch of heavy rainfall a few weeks ago. All I did then was till the soil a bit to make them vanish. Haven't thought about it since.

Normal fungus growth from overly wet soil. Same as found with growing from seed seedlings. You can stir it in, sprinkle some dry mix on top of it, or just wait until the soil dries out and it disappears. It only becomes a problem if it becomes a chronic problem and it indicates over-watering.

Okay, thanks. I'll leave it for now and see what happens in a day or two since the humidity is supposed to finally drop for a few days.
