It’s such a breath of fresh air to hear empirical, truthful information these days. The internet has spread so much misinformation, so much ignorance, even in the world of gardening. It’s nice to hear information that is accurate, that is thoughtful, that is truthful, that is scientific. Thank you Sir!
Except for the part where he says that sodium is a nutrient that plants need.
Not true,@@nonyadamnbusiness9887He says that plants need it in a very small dosage, adding that it is toxic to plants.
This is making so much sense when you actually consider the scientific mechanism, thank you.
Thank you. Very informative,
Absolutely brilliant 😊 thank you
Thank you, always good advice😊
Thank you Mr. P. I guess I’ve never heard of baking soda for anything in the garden, but I’m old so I may have forgotten, which in this case is great! 🌷💚🙃
Your always full of great news
Thank you so much
Thank you very much
I love your videos. Thanks for bringing actual science to the great gardening experiment.
Not actual science, gives PH without talking concentration or PPM. You can add NaC2 to change your PH towards alkalinity but the amount and the starting PH are your determining factors.
Don’t be such a simp.
very interesting , thank you. I did see another hack that sounded plausible. Potassium spray, recommended for pest control with the added benefit of encouraging more blooms. simply woodash soaked in water, filtered and diluted. Obviously avoiding ‘treated timber’. Id be interested in your views on that one. Thanks again for taking the time to share your information
Thank you 🎉
What about hydrogen peroxide.there are so many hacks about using hydrogen peroxide similar to baking soda
Good experience 🙏🙏🙏🌾🌾
It is amazing the things people will put in their soil and never have the soil tested. But, then again, people do the same things with vitamins/supplements and never have their blood/urine tested.
Yes, the quack supplement/vitamin market is.gigantic. Most of them are untested and unregulated. You have no idea what you're ingesting. NYT did some testing a while back.and if I recall correctly, no samples tested had the correct ingredients listed, or had them in the concentrations listed. Total scam
Yep and just like there are Garden Myths there are tons of Health Myths that abound online by “guessperts” who develop an online following of “believers” who trust blindly everything they read/hear online because of its published online it “has/must” be true.
I had my blood tested by Dr. Acula, he said I was positive for delicious... Or positively delicious, something like that. Either way I know why more people don't do it, the entire experience sucked and the needles left puncture wounds on my neck for weeks.
Hi can baking soda be used with toothpaste or with peroxide to brush you teeth and does it work
What can I add to my 5 indoor 4" plants?
did the baking soda keep the blight off your tomatoes til frost?
Subbed I'm trusting you
Hello, personally I use potassium bicarbonate, and it works well against powdery mildew. You say the salt in baking soda is harmful to plants, but many gardening experts in Japan and South Korea use diluted seawater to water their plants. Salt in small doses does not therefore seem harmful to the plant, what do you think.
Hi just want to add I gather seaweed ( live on beach) n build up my soil . my viney plants love that garden.
Yes, I use Potassium Bicarbonate for powdery mildew - have to coat all surfaces to be effective and takes multiple applications. It does seem to knock powdery mildew down rather than simply prevent further disease. Don't use it for anything else.
You'd be far better off using an actual fungicide. If you can use two different fungicide formulas with two different modes of actions that would give you superior results & prevent resistance. If you're determined to use something homemade & organic, I'd go with an antiseptic supplement like tea tree oil or cajuput oil (they're isomers) which can be purchased wherever supplements are available. Both would inhibit fungus growth & neither would have the potential harmful effects to plants or soil when used properly. Good luck!
Let me say first. He has many good ideas and also makes you realize the BS of some of the myths and stories told on RUclips to promote their sites. Now I will remark on how some of the things he is telling you is mistaken information or wrong. Baking powder is made of baking soda. So theoretically they are related compounds. How you make homemade baking powder. It is 1-2-3, You mix, 2 tsp cream of tarter, mix it with 3 tablespoons of corn starch, then add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and mix it all together. The cream of tarter is an acid. The cornstarch is a buffer and then add the baking soda. So how baking soda (very alkaline) reacts with an acid. So adding baking soda to the ground will react with the acid of the soil, making the soil alkaline. They also use baking soda in swimming pools to control algae. This method is done to replace the chemical chlorine. So yes, baking soda does kill many algae forms. NOW, I do agree with Garden Fundamentals. Baking soda is a salt. So the use of baking soda in a garden must be minimal. You put salt in a bread dough to slow down the activity of bacteria/yeast. So yes, Salt will affect the activity of microbes/bacteria. (You can kill yeast/bacteria, by adding to much salt to a bread dough). I also disagree with saying that chemical fertilizers are safe to use. Most chemical fertilizers use ammonia to increase or as a nitrogen source. Ammonia is proven to cause cancer.
👍👍👍Thank you.
Does baking soda expire???
From the Bradford Science Museum is this statement on fungi “…scientists don’t currently agree on how many fungi there might be but only about 120,000 of them have been described so far…” That being said there could easily be millions of varieties of fungi, so how can one substance affect such a large number of various fungal types/species?
Hello, I hope you inform us how to make at home fertilizers and treat plant diseases from organic materials not using chemicals.
👍👍😊😊
The sodium metal in baking soda is a toxic alkali. Common symptoms of foliar spray sodium toxicity are leaf burn, scorching, and dead tissue along the outer edges of the leaves.
Even if baking soda killed weeds... when I am already down there close enough to pour baking soda on the plant I might just pick it. Sure that will not finally destroy all kinds of weeds but it is free and very selective.
Thanks daddy too many misinformation👍👍💕
Baking soda mix with some honey cornbread mix 50/50 in an open container laid sideways is good for mice and rat problems because they can't digest baking soda and won't harm pets👍💛
Tell me more.
I m 83 and I spread B S on my roof and it kills the moss , and does not hurt the roof ,
You can also use laundry detergent
so you keep the baking soda in the pantry for cooking
Porque el móvil no me pone subtítulos en castellano ???
So, adding baking soda to the neem oil spray don't get rid of the tiny bugs eating my Swiss Chard??? It's now an infestation and my plants r still babies. 😢
Try BT insecticide...
First!
B.S. 🤣🤣🤣🌷💚🙃
Why would anyone deliberately add sodium to their garden? Sodium is NOT a nutrient for plants. The only time plants make any use of sodium is when they are potassium deficient.
baking soda for cookies? isn't that baking powder? well anyway not being scientific I just watched a video and believed all of what you disproved, s o I thank you I won't waste my time treating my ants and my spider mites and other dilemmas with the soda!!!
You are using it wrong in the fridge, you make a lot of wholes, or just buy it in a fridge box made to deodorize in the fridge. You do not just open the box. Not all plants die from salt.
Hydrangeas are very tolerant of sodium.
this video is nonsense check out research from universities
Funny he says that the PH is 8.3 when he hasn’t said how much. No science here.
