Growing Garlic in Straw - Harvest and Results
It’s still not a waste of money milks cheaper than a lot of the other stuff you buy or all the time it takes to mix concoctions with all the other ingredients
Do you have to cut the affected parts off?
@@lisam7511 If the plants have a bad case I will remove the effected parts. If it's just a few spots I will treat it and keep a close eye on it.
Thanks for the information
I make Greek Yoghurt or cottage cheese, and use the whey from it to spray with. It is very effective also for aphids.
These nasties decimate my roses and fruit trees. My chickens love them
Use lambda- cyhalothrin insectide. It is a synthetic pyrethroid that contains two active ingredients that kills on contact as well as leaving a residual on the leaves to be consumed.
Aphid sap gets on the leaf and turns into mildew. If you see ants ants protect aphids. Aphids hibernate in snowball bush and bottle bush trees
Powdery mildew aphids cause powdery mildew Also white fly squash bugs . Treat early for bugs the aphids are a bad culprit
Milk works great! its cheaper than any spray you will buy, it works because of something with a protein in it when its exposed to sunlight but I think its also because it throws the ph off and inhibits its growth. I mix it 1part skim milk and 3 parts water and use it every 7 to 10 days
Dies the milk help with bugs/ mites on plants
I'd rather use lemon juice and water.. it works instantly
The black bird likes to eatthem
Thank you !!! I needed this information as my flower garden just got attacked..great video!
Thank you!
What abt spraying with diluted vinegar?
Thanks ❤
Neem oil baking soda and plain liquid soap for disease prevention
Milk and water is good enough
Thank you so much!
Here in Washington state all the Walmart stores have discontinued carrying their reusable fabric grocery bags. The reusable bags you buy at Fred Meyer or Safeway to take your groceries home in are sealed to make them waterproof. While you could use them by punching holes in the bottom, you don't get the air pruning effect that you get with the Walnart bags or commercially made fabric grow bags. I recently purchased some 7 gallon commercial grow bags off of Amazon, and they are made from a much heavier material than the Walmart bags, which should make them last for several years. I recently bought a 10 pack of them on Amazon for $13.99, and they came with a decorative rainbow pattern printed on them. I'll be uskng them mainly to grow my herb garden in and some smaller varieties of peppers like cayenne, and small bush tomatoes like Early Girl Bush and Better Bush tomatoes.
Can you apply this concoction on other plants as well, like my Flowering Dogwood is very susceptible to powdery mildew.
It's always a good idea to spot test your plants first. However, I think this will work well for all but the most sensitive plants without issue. Good luck!
Does sour milk work better than fresh milk or does it make a difference?
I don't think it makes any difference. Fresh milk is easier to work with. Sour curdled milk can sometimes clog your spray nozzle if not filtered completely.
@@BrewCityGardener Whey works also and it is easier on the sprayers.
I had terrible issues last year with powdery mildew. That spread to every plant that I had. After searching forever on a solution and reading all kinds of case studies I think this year I’m going to try Vansil-w10 calcium silicate at 1 or 2 tsp per gal and spray the plants. May also try a top dress of 1 tsp per plant biweekly.
One of the best videos on the topic. Great job!
Thank you!
Thanx
They ruin my coneflowers
my only concern is the dye ,
Going off to get straw tomorrow and try this will be first week of June before I can plant. My seedlings will go out a bit late this year. Can you use blood meal as the first fertilizer? Same measurements? I have a big bucket of blood meal. Thank you.
Thanks. I've been straw bale gardening for seven years now, but this year I'm concerned that only one bale out of 13 has become "hot" (120F), the rest are hovering at 80* at day nine. Thanks for easing my concerns! Using Scotts Step 3 lawn fertilizer.
Is that a big enough container for indeterminate tomatoes?
Yes. I can fit more soil in a standard reusable shopping bag than I can fit in a five gallon bucket. As long as you have a way to stake and keep your plants upright, the bags will work great.
7:08 What a fantastic idea!! I was literally looking all over the internet for a cheap way to get started container gardening!! Whoop! Whoop! Yea! This is a fantastic idea to be able to mail seeds to a friend and help them get started. They would only need to get dirt and water. Thanks!!
But Wait...great ideas I've done same years ago but friendly thought-idea and especially for organic growers the kiddie pools may have cancer chemicals in them-most likely do for sure? but ...plastic pots may have/had as well depending on source of origin/materials etc. things like bpa and mildew/ultraviolet/stuff in the plastic which heat will release into the water and up into your plants not good- dont allow your kids or pets to garden drink hose water for this reason kiddie pool probably fine for ornamentals but not for eating or smoking(medical cannabis?) plant materials etc
Does the milk have to be vit d, 2% or 1%
As far as I can tell it doesn't matter which kind you use.
idea here what if you buried them in the garden just below the frost line from winter in sand but deep like three or four feet .mark them so you can find them ,then dig them up . might work .
U PURCHASE SEVN DUST. WILL THAT WORK ON TGE MILDEW?
No. Sevin Dust is only a pesticide.
IKEA bags y’all. 1 dollar. Tote bags.
We need a 20 gallon bot, half a garbage can plastic does well Wal Mart stopped selling larger reusable bags but mine come in at about 4 gallons. I am in El Paso so resources a a bit dicey Mate. There also is a way to use large cheap tote to hod bags for new seeders so our frequent high winds do not tear them up
I have a bag of all purpose 16-16-16 that i need to use.. just wondering if that can be used for conditioning bales as well? Cant find any info on whether the other 2 numbers would make any difference to the process
I would not. During the conditioning process, bacteria will be eating mostly the nitrogen and straw to form large colonies thus breaking down the bales into a useful growing medium. If you were to add loads of phosphorus and potassium you will essentially be over fertilizing the bales. This will likely change the PH and cause nutrient lock-out. That will make the bales unsuitable for growing much of anything. Stick with the high nitrogen for the conditioning process. You can use the all purpose fertilizer at the end of the condition process and to fertilize every few weeks throughout the growing season. As long as you keep it sealed and in a dry location, the all purpose fertilizer should last a few years at least. Good luck and happy gardening!
I live in El Paso, getting anything is off amazon. I do not like being there but this is from heaven Bless you
So how did it do in the recipes?! I am growing it for the first time this year. I love cilantro but it doesn't like my climate, so I'm trying alternatives.
It's much stronger than cilantro so use much less than you normally would. It's not an exact match so you will have to experiment with it to find what suits your personal taste. Good luck!
potassium bicarbonate is an approved antifungal for powdery mildew, with no sodium or other problems, such as leaf burn from foliar applications. it's also a well absorbed form of potassium that plants will use as nutrient.
Can i spray soapy water on the leaves where jap beetles land to keep them from eating the leaves
I was online shopping for grow bags and a light bulb came on. I noticed that the grow bags look just like the recycling bags that I keep in the trunk and never use. I wondered if I can use those to grow my vegetables so I search for a video and bam here is your video, so thank you very much. I will be using my recycling bags. finally I can get them out of the trunk of my car 😂
Are the milk or baking soda methods safe when the plant flowers are open and pollination is occurring? With mangoes Powdery Mildew hits when the trees are flowering and it destroys the crop.
I think my wife drinks sour milk the way she looks at me sometimes
😆
Im going to use milk this year bc unlike you ive had powdrey mildew kill my plants early the last 3 yrs. Last yr i tried copper fungicide but it was either too late or no help.
Good luck. I hope it helps you out this year.
Very thorough information, I found a few white bugs that were stuck on my grapevine and had to research to identify them - Only to learn they are Japanese Beetles that I fought all last year. 😢
Mine are 30 years old. Still in good condition.
Thank you! I am on a pension and this idea is brilliant!
Thank you. Great information. Will give it a try this year on my cannibus and pumpkins.
Do you keep watering them on the 4 days?
Yes, continue to water daily about 1 gallon or 4 liters per day. You can skip watering if it rains. Happy gardening!
