Build Your Own Cheap & Easy Home Hydroponics
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.2 года назад
Building your own hydroponics is cheaper and easier than you may think. I watched a few videos myself and thought I'd give it a go. This method is quick to set up and easy to maintain. It also doesn't cost much. It also allows you to grow as few or as many plants as you wish, simply adjust the length of the pipes or cover more fence panels. First, I talk about how I worked out what I needed to ...

We all make mistakes.

It's not easy to learn a new skill or come back time and time again, after feeling the bitter sting of failure. As gardeners, sometimes our mistakes don't show themselves right away and we're left with a poor harvest or empty area of the plot as a result. This video highlights some of the mistakes I've made over the past couple of years, while trying to grow my own food, in the hope that it ins...
How To Grow Potatoes
Просмотров 4212 года назад
If you like chips, mash or homemade crisps, you could consider growing your own potatoes. They are super simple and cheap to grow and can be grown simply in a pot with some compost. Or, if you have the space, a raised bed or planter will have great results. I grow my potatoes from shop bought ones, which are too old for cooking with, or which were forgotten about in the bottom of the cupboard. ...

How to Take a Wild Rose Cutting
Просмотров 23 тыс.2 года назад
In this week by week video I show you a simple method of taking a cutting of a wild rose (Dog rose, Rosa canina). The cutting can be taken at the end of the year, around October/November time. Choose a branch which contains 'hips', which is a sign that the branch is new growth and will transplant well. For this, you only need some small pots, a little potting compost and some rooting compound. ...
Potting On Seedlings | Two Simple Methods

In this short video, I'm going to show you two methods that I use to move seedlings on. The first method is best for moving from a seed or cell tray into a pot, and the second for when you need to 'upgrade' a seedling into a larger pot. This method can also be used when transplanting plants into the ground. If you enjoyed this video, there's a couple of ways to show your thanks: - Like the vide...

How to Grow Salad Leaves on Your Windowsill (even during the winter)
Thank you 🙏🏻
Can I sow it now in November?
November is the perfect time for an earlier harvest next year 👍
@ ok and preparing the soil?
Y'all are missing out on the best part. Turnip greens are a staple in the American South. So good.
This was an excellent format. Thanks for the guide!
Thank you
If you thin them out, wouldn't you get bigger leaves?
Great video - can I ask - would it be ok to keep them inside a greenhouse after they've been potted?
Appreciate this, you started from pen and paper which reflects my approach as well. Hope it's been great for you so far !
Great video, thanks. What to do next if we want to plant another tree here?
Thank you 🧡 I'd recommend watching a tree planting video, it's not really something I've got much experience in 👍
Nice
Thank you!
Great info, thanx for sharing! Brilliant idea to use the number of the week! I will take up on your idea! It is my first time growing dwarf beans zone 8a in Switzerland , full no dig way, all compost and i noticed they are not doing so well. They are on the 9th week now
Thank you for the detailed video. I will try this method. How can I propagate from seed?
Great channel Thank you 😊 😅
Thank you, that's very kind 🧡
CITIZENS UNITED must be REPEALED for anything to work right !
From garden to table
Mine appear and then drop the plant. Don't understand why????
Do you mean the flower dropped off??
I cover the top of a 21/2 to 5 gallon grow bucket with a paint strainer / works great/ Super video many thanks
Thank you for your video. This is my first time growing shallots in the winter. I live in the north part of USA. Could you share what outdoor temprature is best to start shallots?? I will probably need to start earlier than Decemeber. What do you advise? Thank you!
Thank you for the message ☺️ US growing regions aren't my strong area and I really don't want to give you bad advice. Is there anyone here who lives in the same growing range who can offer this advice please?? Have a lovely week ☀️
@@AThornyPot What is the temperature range outside that you know is a good time for you to plant?
So in spring, in the UK the average is between 10°C and 14°C, in autumn it's roughly the same, a touch warmer maybe, these are good times for us to plant Shallots
@@AThornyPot Thank you for the information.
Any more videos coming out?
Thank you for the question 🧡 I'm spending this year teaching myself some new tricks and I'm also soon getting an appointment. I plan to create a "from sow to harvest" video for everything that I grew this year
Thank you
Can I start an orchid with just the leaves?
Hey 👋 what do you mean? Can you take a cutting of an orchid from another orchids leaves?? Or can you look after an orchid with only leaves? X
@@AThornyPot all of of my leaves fell off the plant and I was wondering if I could start them either in water or soil to get a new plant?
Great video, thank you 🙏… cheers! 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Great recipe and good instructions
They are called leaf miners.Remove infected leaves and spray with suitable pesticide as directed.
Thank you very much. I'm going in late.
How much for this job?
How much would it cost to pay someone to come and remove a tree for you??
✌️😎
✌️😎
✌️😎
I assume you could just saw away at the roots to detach them? Trying to remove a tree that has taken but don’t want it where it is, and have limited space and don’t have a pickaxe, but don’t want the roots regrowing or sprouting
I don't believe a tree can grow back if only the roots are left. It would need some of the trunk. So yeah, that would work
@@AThornyPot perfect thank you
What a wonderful idea! ❤
Farmjack 💯 kiss ☺️🍀
a follow from me based solely on the comment " rub these off gently with your thumb.....if you have thumbs"
If you have to remove many tree, using a Dyna-Diggr is way easier!
i bought plants from online and planted them, in my new patch. my plants are now over 2 foot tall with flower heads growing daily, they look nothing like your plants, what have i been sent, not brussel sprouts i hope as i grew mine from seed and they look similar wit yellow flowers on them. any help please.
Malcolmplace1204 if there growing flower heads then they are “Bolting” A lot of root veg are biennials so they grow there roots the first year and the flowers/seeds the next. It’s possible yours were sown too early and the cold weather has tricked the plant into thinking it’s first year of growth has been. Also most root veg don’t actually like being too warm. Or if they’re too dry the stress can cause them to go to flower. This means the plant will be putting energy into flowering and not the roots you want.
What happens if I do this without removing the grass?
Hmm... Well the height difference may be noticeable. With my method it's all on the same level and you could still mow the grassy area quite easily. Depending on the depth of the stones, the grass (and weeds) could grow through??
Can you show an update on the roses? Did they end up climbing the twine?
I was going to ask same question but the op doesn't seem to be responding
@John-bs6ut sorry, I've actually moved these to be on the other side of the garden, where it gets the sun more so an update won't be very useful 🌹
Hey, I won't be able to show an update because I've moved the roses to a sunnier part of the garden.. sorry 😔 🌹
@@AThornyPot many thanks for this info. Hope it's doing well in the new location
What do you do if your rutabega has sprouted. Can you plant it as is or should you separate the sprouts
I'm not sure if you would get new plants either way. Swedes are biannuals so they would probably only grow the top growth part of the plant. You probably won't get another root.
Vaseline mixed with salt smeared around rim of pot deters slugs. A bit messy but works. They don't like the salt.
I'm a tree hugger but we have one growing through our fence and another coming from under our foundation???? So they gotta go 😭
Oh that's sad 😭 sorry x
Maybe you should pick the snails and eat them the way the French folks do or sell them. LOL. I did go out with a flash light and picked them off. My son said to pour salt at the base of the pepper containers. I will see tomorrow if this work. Thank you nfor sharing,
Will your grass grow back? I’m new to this and not sure how that process works
A little grass seed, watering and time and it'll come back just fine 👍
How often do you water ?
Whilst in the cell tray, don't let the soil dry out but not soggy or the seeds will rot. The seedlings only have access to a little soil and it can dry out quickly. Once in the ground, water often until they are established and then, after that, only when the soil gets very dry
Will the tree survive
I don't think so no, we're cutting through the main roots. If it does come back, it won't be a very strong tree
Loppers are very useful for severing roots.
Can plant shalot in tropical area?
Good question. Hopefully there'll be someone here with a good answer for you as I'm not sure. My understanding is that they'll tolerate up to 24°C comfortably
Any chance you could do a update on how you are getting along with your outdoor hydroponic system? Im thinking about building vertical one but not sure how much it will cost for everything i need or i might just buy on slready built
This is a great topic and I think it depends on a few factors: How are you with DIY? Confident? Do you get stressed out easily (I do)? What is your budget like? Big or small? It also depends on why you're doing it. Are you doing it for joy and learning or is it to feed people?? Also, are you a perfectionist? Because it'll never be perfect. I did it myself because I like to learn and I love a project. It's certainly cheaper than buying a setup.... But if you're not going to be happy with the results or need to do it a few times... Then maybe you're better of buying something you know will work. I hope this helps a little. Let us know what you choose and how it goes 👍🧡
