Is there a secret to keeping moss off of the fabric bags? Love the greenhouse. My sister gave me a small one a few years ago, it was great before it became a shed instead of a plant house LOL
How did humanity ever survive before the introduction of packaged soil and fertilizer?
Ground your containers and you'll see an increase of growth compared to not being grounded.
The first year I grew carrots at the community garden I grew 30 to 36 inch long carrots from a pkg of white carrot seeds I was given in a seed swap and everyone thought the were parsnips but they were carrots I am walking with a walker so was using a taller raised bed and used worm casting and manure to fertilize before planting
I'm the same way so to throwing away germinated seeds
Hi Luke, just wondering do you have to harden off the lettuce to set in a greenhouse that is not heated. We just had a dump of snow a week ago. Goes up to 6 degrees Celsius in the day and as cold as -3 Celsius at night.
In looking at your container videos, I don't see that you've talked about saucers. Aren't saucers good for watering in dry climates?
Hi, I have fabric pots. And I would like to see how lettuce will grow. Thanks!
My tomatoes, in a 5 gallon fabric pot, filled them with roots. It was quite impressive~
i can never get it right 🙁 am i useing the wrong soil? do i need the right fertilizer? im at a loss
I'm a plant freak too Luke, and I bet a lot of your Subscribers are too! I know you have "sharpened" my gardening skills!!
Watching your videos is so enjoyable. I hope someday my hubby & I can travel up to Mi & meet you.
God bless you!
do you fertilize in addition to trifecta +? and is it safe for seedlings when you pit up
i disagree with your watering in fabric pots,,, they dry out much faster than hard sided pots,,, i need to water mine at least once every 3 days or they dry out completely
Is Trifecta only available in USA? I live in northern Canada? If you can recommend an alternative name that I can get up here, let me know
We live at 11,000 ft. In the mountains. We're putting up a
20 x 80 hoop house this year. We'll have raised beds and containers to plant in. We'll have low tunnels over containers and beds during cold weather. What can you tell me about gardening like this at this altitude? What will not grow? Plant care? Anything would be helpful.
Love your channel. You're the only gardening channel I have chosen to watch. Thank you for all you do for the gardening community. Thank you for sharing your gardening knowledge. You are much needed and respected in the gardening world.
I grow rows of lettuce and bok/pak choy in those long narrow plastic window flower boxes on tables in my greenhouse all summer. They are 30 inches long, 6 deep and only 6' wide but they grow great and it means not having to get on the ground to look for bug issues (few even get into the greenhouse). I just alternate the planting to stagger so I always have some on the go and some ready to eat. My only issue was earwigs last year so I just sprinkled Diatomaceous Earth around the table tops and never saw them again. Being more cognisant not to pour water all over this yr as I think the damp attracted them. If people are just starting out they have those long planter boxes at dollar stores. Just wash and bring them inside, or into a garage/cellar in winter as the cheap plastic gets brittle in really cold areas. Num, num, num…salads.
When you are adding soil to your raised bed gardens, how deep should the soil be 12"-24" of soil?
Hi I’ve been watching your videos for years but I only subscribed recently. I never have luck with lettuce growing them from seed and they always grow leggy. I think it might be that it’s too hot inside under a grow light so this year i am trying them outside any advice of successfully growing lettuce indoors.( Romaine Lettuce)
How do you clean your fabric pots for the new year to re-use them?
Placing the lettuce under the drip areas is genius. Really an elegant solution to what others might consider a problem area. Everybody has microclimates like that- outside I have splash zones where roof runoff overshoots the gutters where I can grow water-loving plants despite the dry climate. Inside the greenhouse I let peas run up the sides of the shelving.
I learn the most in the shortest time, from your videos. Thanks!
Very helpful information. Thank you.
How big is your greenhouse and did you build it or where did you buy it?
Why not grow in the ground?
Dont waste them..Totally agree
My wife got me planting boxes for Christmas.
She wants to put flowers in them then on the kitchen table.
These things aren’t sealed, and if they were the plants would be sitting in water. Just too much other work.
So I put leaf lettuce and kale in them.
Not deep at all, but we can eat it
Thank you! My first year using grow gags but I love them so far. Do you remember about how many lettuce plants you put in those 15-gal bags?
