I have had it happen.
The barney dino strikes again.
Best vid I've ever seen on this subject. U the MAN
Thanks Mark. Great insight. Love to see your videos. Bless you.
hi, what make is your soil temperature? TIA
Tomtaoes associate with specific mycorrhiza and the University of Leipzig/Germany published about the preferred types of Substrates for their connection in 2020. Peat moss and cocoanut alone don't allowed #mycorrhiza to survive.
Personally I Mix mycorrhiza in my vermicomposted growth substrate for tomatoes.
Wishing a nice Weekend from Germany.
94 in NJ 78 Texas. What's going on? We're not even suppose to hit 90 until 7/1 according to accu weather. 🙂
Off subject but I've been at war with raccoons getting after my chickens and crops .. 2
Box traps back to back , cover with Hay /or whatever, and I use dog food and tuna or whatever. U have to relocate a right smart or they will come back
Same with snake's
Hi Mark, great video! Thankyou. God bless.
In Ontario it is currently really hot outside. My No-Till planted into wheat stubble Tomatoes are turning purple yet my tilled Tomatoes are just fine. Are the roots of the No-Till plants root system no buried good enough?.
Nice to see you , I was a little worried because two weeks went by without a very exceptional video about organic gardening. Always look forward to your informative lessons!
I always thought it was a nutrient lacking, so the temp prevents the P and K from being used by the bacteria. Love the science behind it all. I'm at the end of my tomato season, but my current tomatoes are producing fruit. Though my annual basil is turning purple on top and underneath. Cheers Mark. Glad you posted, hope everything is cool in your side of the world… Well, Warm enough for you and the garden. Until next time mate!!
I always learn so much, thanks Mark!!
Great information, thank you for sharing.
Interesting
Canadian scientists in Quebec said soil bacteria needs a temp of 12 degrees C to function. And earthworms just want to hibernate until the temp rises to 18 C though I suppose they would become sluggish whenever the soil temp drops too low after the Spring thaw. That would be 53.6 and 64.4 Fahrenheit. Worms would prefer 72 degrees F.
Farming would be easier further South with better soil temps though you might want to avoid hurricanes.
i had black plum tomato ,had 12 types ,blk plum which looks like a real plum,every year they had purple leaves,i think its the type,i have 40 types of fruit every year and plant over 60 types vegi every year ,this is very helpful ty watch all your garden stuff for long long time ten years maybe live in massachusetts,1/2 acre land,chef 38 years,farmed 14 years,free coffee grinds compost so much,so i am pretty good with food lol,just wish i could pay my bills with it,love to grow,ty
Thank you.
As always, I love your content, Mark.
I grew tomaatoes for the first time inside my house last year because i had no greenhouse at the time. Got plenty of tomatos and had no problems growing them.
I live in Northern Norway and I am growing tomatoes out in my greenhouse for the first time, (put up m ygreenhouse a few weeks ago) they were aclimated indoors before I put them outside in the greenhouse.
Now I am noticing all of the plants are turning purple, I got very worried, looked it up online and it says it's due to nutrient deficiency, so to me that didn't make sense because I feed my tomato plants with ecological tomato nutrition.
It does make a lot more sense when you say it's due to the soil temperature.
I am only able to get the degree in my greenhouse to 15 celsius, when it's below 15 degrees outside (night time)
I have a greenhouse fan heater. I have big beds with tomatoes and other plants.
Thanks for this video btw. very helpful.
