    If you're one to burn a wood fire somewhat regularly, you can periodically sew the ash into your soil. It's a great way to both purpose the ash, and maintain your garden's potassium.

      If your soil is close to alkaline that can push it over. Great if it's too acid.

    • @tblbaby
      @tblbaby 3 года назад +1

      That's good, if your soil is acidic, if not, it can stunt of even kill plants by pushing the PH up.

    Hi there, you have some very nice plants. A calcium deficiency in cucumbers can also present with similar symptoms like dry leaf edges, necrosis/dead spots in the leaf tissue though you typically get of a cupping of the leaf and the fruit malformed at the blossom end rather than the stem. I'm sure you probably knew that but it may help other viewers.

    • @LDSPrepper
      @LDSPrepper  8 лет назад

      Thank you for sharing. I'll be doing a calcium deficiency video too.

    • @atomizer2665
      @atomizer2665 8 лет назад

      Increasing potassium (K) stimulates the need for more manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe). Potassium is antagonistic towards boron (B) and magnesium (Mg). using excessive levels of potassium will make boron and magnesium less available to the plant. Symptoms will show up as B and Mg deficiencies which cant be fixed by adding B and Mg because it is caused by excess K.

    Hi LDSPrepper, well you've already helped me once this season with my garden, and with this video it looks like you will be able to help me again. Based on your description, it looks like I, or, more accurately, my cucumber plants, have potassium deficiency and I plan to try and rectify that this evening. The one difference, however, is that while you had many cucumbers growing, even if some where misshapen, I only have one fruit that I can see. Lots of leafs, but little fruit. Also, should I prune the damaged leafs, especially those at the bottom of the plants? Oh, one other thing, one of my squash plants have blossom end rot. I've added calcium, which has helped, but do you think potassium would be helpful? Thanks for everything. I'm going to order the books so that I'm prepared for fall garden, and next year's growing season.

    5:45 That's Potassium Chloride not Potassium Nitrate. It says Muriate of Potassium which is Potassium Chloride. If it was the Nitrate form the first number wouldn't be 0 it would be 13. Like 13-0-46. Just a slight clarification. Good vid though!

    • @LDSPrepper
      @LDSPrepper  8 лет назад

      I could be the variety of cucs. More likely it is a lack of nutrients. It could be one or many nutrients that it needs. If you want sweet taking veggies make sure you feed them what they need, how much they need, when they need it. I'd recommend using the Mittleider weekly feed to simplify the process, lower the cost, increase yields, improve plant health and make sweet produce. You can go to MittleiderGardening.com to get more information and the micro nutrients to make your feed.

  • @izzzzzz6
    @izzzzzz6 7 лет назад

    Your in a greenhouse so how does local rainfall effect your soil? Is this due to winter weather as when the greenhouse is dismantled? I can see why different parts of the country have different fertiliser available due to this. Could you mention over fertilisation as i know that this can also damage the plants. Also yellowing could be due to lack of pruning and the plant becoming overwhelmed by surrounding leaves from it's own canopy or from those of neighbouring plants.
    I just heard you mention rust fungus, we have a lemongrass in our greenhouse and it has many rust spots along some of it's leaves. Is this a lemongrass specific thing or is it just more sensitive?

Also though, I would like to thank you for providing the link to get the Mittleider series of books. I looked on Amazon & was shocked & dismayed to find that book 1 in the series was selling for $500!!! Thanks to you, I was able to order all 3 for about the price of one much less the $500 for a used Volume 1! You rock in my world for sure!! Next year I will be doing things differently and will be better armed against the problems that have plagued my garden this year! Keep up the great work, I for one will keep watching, liking & sharing!

    • @LDSPrepper
      @LDSPrepper  8 лет назад +3

      If you have mildew you'll have a white or gray fuzzy growth on your leaves. First thing is prune, prune, prune. Always keep your plants pruned allowing lots of air and light through the plant. Mildew grows because of moisture. That is what I did in Houston and it really helped.

I don't, test my soil, or use anything but my own compost tea! I use diatomaceous earth and soapy water for pests! Its not an exact science, but I do it every year and its never let me down! I have had 4 lb tomatoes, celery and cabbage and broccoli and Brussel sprouts, and cucumber squash, lettuce,asparagus, beets, swiss chard, carrots,peas, beans, varieties of pepper plants, strawberries blueberries and raspberries, grapes and my herbs, all do very well, all in the same mix! Totally organic, I rotto till every two years, my crops go right into the ground, no raised beds, just hills! Why change when it works for me? I started with a rock hard plot of clay, added some sand, lots of horse manure and ooddles of peat moss when I first broke the soil! Its never seen pesticides or store bought fertilizer! I have spread some left over oyster shell from the chickens around a few times ,but not enough really to make a difference! Some things I rotate ,some things I don't! If my leaves turn a dry yellow, I water them more or add some compost tea, some time Ill cover them with a light white material for a few days to protect them from the sun, not the whole garden ,just the effected plants! If they are yellow and the leaves fall off easy then its too much moisture!

    For Calcium fixation ...that exists because there are many Calcium salts that are poorly soluble
    But there is no potassium fixation. Maybe you heard something wrongly. All Potassium salts are easily soluble. Potassium rather gets rinsed out than being fixated. I dont think any of those poorly soluble potassium salts form...:potassium tetraphenylborate, potassium hexachloroplatinate and potassium cobaltinitrite
