Alas the only area I can grow anything falls into full shade almost half the year… :(
Remove tree.
Apply fruit tree.
Not sure if Council allows.
Think you can still grow greens (lettuce, asian greens etc) in full shade.
grow your own videos, they taste better
plant seed in soil, water it regularly, then eat - don't over think it
let kids plant strawberries, lettuce
let the rest of us plant whatever we want :-)
Have you ever tried that?
Taught kids in a primary school to plant veggie gardens. That's basically what they did.
I ripped out some grass in the backyard of a flat I was renting, added nothing, and grew the best tasting beans and zucchini. Then I bought compost, fertilizer, and got some styrofoam boxes to grow lettuce… and it immediately grew tall stalks (went to seed) and tasted disgusting with a thick milky sap inside.
This is correct, so the fertiliser caused the lettuce to flower and seed.
Why would you harvest and eat a vegetable such as lettuce after it has seeded? It will not taste very good at all like you experienced. This is what you would expect.
Um… "and it immediately grew tall stalks"… i.e. There was no time for any lettuce to grow. And everywhere I read said to water and fertilise regularly after planting.
So my post was in reply to sian72 who said: "plant seed in soil, water it regularly, then eat - don't over think it"… Not overthink it is right… I put all that effort in and got stalks and sour sap. I put no effort in (after ripping out the grass) and got huge delicious zucchini and beans for weeks.
@[Deactivated]: Zucchini and beans are different to leafy greens.
There are many different fertilizers available, you probably used a bloom type rather than a grow nutrient.
lol at strawberries being an easy kid friendly option in the same category as lettuce. Strawberry seeds are the most sensitive little turds I've tried growing. They literally need to be frozen for weeks before planting.
Looks like the sort of stuff that you can get for free on Youtube, but with a requirement to sign up to a mailing list.
it has a community of green thumbs to ask and share info
Fair enough. Maybe it is worth it for some people.
just what I need, I have a dreadful looking peace lily I'd like to find out if I can resuscitate
Repot it with quality potting mix unless it doesn't need it, trim dead leaves, stop overwatering (just a little bit once a fortnight) and keep it out of direct sunlight in a shady nook. Should look after itself!
I want to know which soil checker is actually useful and correct. I'd like to check my various raised bed for whatever it's lacking and add it ahead of planting- vs. ending up with blossom-end-rot.
Your plants will tell you what they are lacking by their leaves, then you can lookup and learn from your plants, and add lacking nutrient etc.
Id rather they teach us indoor farming tech, something along the line of space buckets
You can do hydroponics with UV grow lamps indoors. I saw on a TV show once.
Just a call-out that you will be spammed heavily.
Aren't the episodes free to view without signup on their youtube channel?
Fake email works in any case, but providing your nemesis' email address is even better. That way you can learn to grow veggies while that special someone you dislike recieves all the spam (and might just start growing veggies too).
just watch Self Sufficient Me on Youtube. Mark is wholesome and teaches you so much!
So can I post links to my garden site/forum as well? Think I finally settled on what I'm using regarding software?
Anyway not related to my site at all.
One of the better people to learn veggie gardening from on the internet - even though he's in a cold climate is an American https://www.youtube.com/@OneYardRevolution/videos. He reminds me of Geoff Hamilton and Peter Cundall. There's no selling or hyperbole, and it's about doing it cheaply — sustainably. Though he doesn't post any more, he has some good content.
And you can't beat gardenate.com if you need a planting guide. I used to create moon planting guides years ago, never put much stock in it but when you're starting out it really helps with planning. As does the book square foot gardening, great for the beginner and cheap on abebooks or from local secondhand shops. But really one thing matters, lots of organic matter and then even more, plus polyculture
Nice, thanks.
