  • @aarongentile7232
    @aarongentile7232 Před 2 měsíci

    per the way you described how the flower gets pollinated (I think), would it be best to tap the flower while it is facing straight up towards the sky so the pollen will fall down into where it needs to go? Or, do I have that backwards?

    • @SomeRoomtoGrow
      @SomeRoomtoGrow Před 2 měsíci

      That’s a good question, but it’s not necessary to do that. Gravity isn’t really a factor on this scale. Just shaking the flower in some way can get enough pollen to reach the stigma from any angle.

    Landfill? I thought these were called transfer stations everywhere in the US. Landfill is for garbage It's land you fill it and never touch it again. I'm surprised they call a landfill there because it's really a transfer station meaning your transferring items from homeowners to that station location and back to the owners again as other resources.
