      Is it mold or is it moss? Fungus is generally considered a positive thing in gardening, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. But I didn't have that problem. It may indicate too much moisture. I would post this to some of the message boards online, or maybe a gardening group and see what others have to say. Good luck.

      @ErvsGarden 2 года назад

      No I'm talking about the solid white plastic not the translucent plastic, sorry about the confusion. The solid white plastic doesn't let enough light through to start the greenhouse effect, and allow the plants to grow.

    Can I leave the tops on inside now or do I need to leave them off.I know when I put them outside I will remove the tops

    • @ErvsGarden
      @ErvsGarden 2 года назад

      Once the weather gets too warm, you take the tops off so the plants don't bake. If the temperature gets colder, or there's a threat of frost you will want to put the tops back on and retape them.

  • @djl3316
    @djl3316 2 года назад

    When they sprouts and on a warm day and you open the jug so it doesn’t get to hot then you close it at night do you tape it again every night? I’ve planted 92 jugs so far….

    • @ErvsGarden
      @ErvsGarden 2 года назад

      It depends on how cold it's going to get. I would put the milk jug tops back on and just use the same tape. If it's going to get super cold you might want to retape.

    Other than the greens which you have planted en masse, at what point do you "up plant" or transplant to larger pots? Or do they stay in the jugs until ready to be hardened off and oved to the garden? (ie tomatoes)

    • @ErvsGarden
      @ErvsGarden 2 года назад

      Sorry for the delayed response, I don't really post gardening videos anymore. Just realized people were still commenting on this video. You want to replant once the weather is warm enough and the threat of frost has passed. Until then keep your tops and put the tops back on if there's a threat of frost.

    I am new to gardening and live in southern Maine . I am looking up start some flower plants and veggies this winter way using your milk jug method this winter . If I were to start in January , are there any tips you can give on how /when to transplant outside ?

    • @ErvsGarden
      @ErvsGarden 2 года назад

      Sorry for the delayed response, and this may be a little too late, but once the last danger frost is passed in your area, then you're going to plant them in the ground. You can always take the tops off once the weather gets warm enough to bring the day, as long as there's no frost expected. But as you know Frost can sneak up when you least expect it. So it's a balancing act, I hope you had good luck.

    Questions... I have a 5gal bucket full of kitchen scraps, crushed bones, old peelings, etc. Would a scoop of that, and 5 scoops of potting soil hurt my seed/lings? And if I'm understanding correctly, this method of gardening could work at anything over 32°?

    • @ErvsGarden
      @ErvsGarden 3 года назад

      No, don't put any of that in your jug. Just put the best potting soil that you can afford. Save that other stuff for later when you plant in the ground.

    @lenahalberstadt2587 3 года назад

    You can totally start 50 tomato seeds in that much space. You will need to separate them eventually, of course - and it’ll require you to keep a closer eye on watering. But you can prick out (separate) the seedlings when they are 4-6 inches tall (though I successfully separated tomato seedlings which were 12 inches tall). Don’t worry about them surviving the separation - they will. Just make sure not to water for a good week before separation, as drier soil will come off the roots easier. There will be some root lost due to entanglement, but as long as some root survives, the plants will be fine. They will inevitably be leggy in a milk jug (long and thin), which is actually an advantage during the transplant stage, as you can bury them deeply and they will root all along the stem. I always multisow tomatoes and it’s a fantastic method to reduce space. Btw, you can do that with some of your lettuce as well: if you leave several plants unharvested in your baby greens batch, just dig them up and plant them in one of your beds.
