Growth fertilizer and insecticide for the plants. My mix is organic and chemical. The sea weed, sea salt, and buddha grow are organic fertilizer. The b12 is chemical strength b12. there is enough for 200 gallons of solution in that little pouch The sns 209 is rosemary oil the plants soak into the roots. When bugs try to eat the plant, the rosemary repels them. it takes 1-2 weeks for it to take effect in the plant cells, and will last for 3 weeks after feeding
>pic 2
All that in the bucket.
>pic 3
The solution after adding water. I mix it while adding the water, and let it sit for roughly 24 hours before using it. I mix it again before pouring at the base of the plants.

I like the moth around. They get some pretty big ones here. I dont think it has any other benefit, other than producing a really pretty white flower. Will post pics when it matures.
>nice i grow some sweet basil indoors but it just seems very sickly and crowded (its just in the same shit i bought it in)
If its growing larger then when you bought it try transplanting it into a bigger container, they could be root bound or have root rot.
>sometimes i forget to water and it gets kinda burned
You have it in a window, I assume? In the end it shouldnt be too much of an issue. I know I try to give my plants only morning sun, its too hot later in the day. If your basil is in a window you also could try putting it in a window facing east.
Thanks for linking my thread btw :D

I was repotting my peppers and found the first skink of the year! Skinks are a sign of a healthy garden, they are one of the first signs you are creating an ecosystem. at least where I live. Or lizards, and geckos which I haven't seen yet I've never seen one this color either!
>pic 2
All my peppers repotted. I used dirt plugs basically a 1x2" soil plug to start most of the pepper seeds in this year. I don't like them, I found it challenging to know when they needed to be transplanted. That was because the roots didn't grow as far out of the 2x2" pots as they would in soil. I could have transplanted them over a week ago judging by the root growth. The soil I tried this year wasn't good for starting seeds in either. All in all, I'd say im about two weeks behind on growth. Last year had an unusual amount of rain though, which could have contributed to the massive growth I got from my plants in the first couple months.

No, you don't have to feed them anything except water. >>782 outlines what fertilizers and pesticides I use in my garden. I can go more in depth about why I use what I use, if you, or anyone else is wondering.
>like they have to get some kind of new dirt or something rights?
No, they don't need new dirt necessaril. If you have the money to buy new dirt every year you can, and other than lifting bags of dirt, it's the easiest way to rejuvenate your soil. I'm a bit of a cheepskate, so I buy additives for the soil I already have, like fish emulsions. Before spring, and fall gardening I gather all my used soil into a container and add the fish powder. I usually throw egg and shrimp shells, and coffee and tea grounds into that. Between those and the fertilizers I add through out the growth cycle, my plants tend to do well.

It does help being able to move them. The peppers do better with more direct sunlight, so as the summer wears on, I'll move them accordingly. It gets hot enough here that nothing except the peppers really needs more that 3 hours of direct sunlight a day. The heat and indirect sunlight takes care of everything else.

I pluck the flowers before they bloom on my peppers. This makes them bush out more and grow more flowers, thus more peppers. Sometimes I'll skip a watering too, it makes the roots grow farther out in search of water, in turn making the plant larger.

This is what I did with that Cucumber.

Slice:
1 large Cucumber
5 garlic cloves more or less to taste, I like garlic
Added those into the jar I had already put 7 dried red cyanne I had from last year and a few pinches of mustard seed. Added freshly cut dill out of the garden last.

While I was cutting:
2 cups water
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup salt 1/4 cup is what I was told, I prefer salter brines. Again, make it how YOU like it

Heated that mixture to melt the salt, then stirred and poured into the jar. It's cooling now, once its at a better temp I'll refrigerate it for a week and tell you how it turned out.

dump any (combination of) (optionally dried) washed fruits and berries (slice them if they are large) into boiling water for 5-10 minutes then let it cool down overnight
by the morning kompot is done
best when cold, perfect summer drink
typical combos are with apples, grapes, cherries, plums, currant and etc.
if your combo end up too sour you might want to add sugar, if it's too concentrated you need more water

Pickles turned out pretty good, I used a bit too much salt though. The corn died, not sure if I didn't water it enough or what. I learned that when the Tassels growing out of the husk start to turn brown, it time to harvest. I will try again, although I haven't made my mind up if I going to seed now, or in a few mobths when it cools down. It's still been too hot for much of anything to happen.

Procreation. As long as the main stalk of a plant like a pepper or tomato is intact, the plant will keep growing. If a branch breaks, or the fruit falls off, the seeds inside the fruit will germinate and grow a new plant.

>>956
>beginners tips.
Just remember if you're starting from seed, not every seed will germinate, and not every seedling will live. That's all OK. I've tried the method of germinating in a paper towel until they sprout, and in my case it's easier to start straight in the soil. The lighting in my camper isn't the best for it. If you have a big kitchen window, it'll be perfect for that. Seedlings need to acclimate to the climate too, that's another reason I start in soil.
I would also suggest a kind of staggered pattern for leafy greens, not rows if you have a bed.
As far as must haves, if you plan on fertilizing or having some kind of pest control, spend the extra couple bux on organic. It's way easier yo not fuck your plants up with organic pesticides/fertilizers. That's all personal preference though, if you don't mind making precise measurements chemical is just as well. Another must have, try something new. Never grown broccoli? Fuck it try it out. Always try new methods, you might find something works better than you thought. Another big one for me is, if you're reusing soil, always add some kind of compost, fish powder, or mycorrhizae then turn the soil before you plant.

thx budy, didn't know about the leafy stagger

what ratio would u rec for bagged or new soil to existing in raised beds?
soil is legit trash here, was thinking about 8:1 favoring new

 No.973

>>969
Staggering rows allows me to maximize the limited space I have. If that's not an issue than do it how you want. 8:1 should be more than enough. You can always get additives to put in the soil to rejuvenate it. The mycorrhizae I mentioned is really good at that. Maybe some sulfer and bone meal with some kind of kelp and fish fertilizer, that will essentially give you what bagged soil has in it. As far as soil go I would recommend foxfarms happy frog, it's always worked wonders for anything I plant in it.

The last three photos show beds I shook seeds out of my hand into. After that, I covered them with a small layer of dirt then watered them. I find what works for me with root veggies, is it's better to just kind of throw them around. They will figure the rest out once they start sprouting. If you were to mass produce, for lets say a market, or store, you would want to take more care to stagger, or plant them in rows. Considering my neighbors, friends, and I are all I grow anything for, I'm more careless with planting root veggies.

>Is it time consuming? Do you tend to your plants daily, weekly?
The most time consuming part is seeding, or transplanting. Depending on how many plants you want, it can take anywhere from a couple hours to most of a day. Refertilizing your soil after something has lived out its life cycle would be the next most time consuming thing. As for tending to the plants, I water them daily when it's hot outside, usually taper down to once every few days in the colder months. While im watering, i check for bugs, or any kind of indiscrepancys with the plants. When they are seedlings, and in the flower stage, I fertilize once a week.

Most of them, yes. The abuelas in my neighborhood are always complimenting me on how nice my garden looks year round, and confess how they picked my vegetables while I was at work. It's pretty cute, it makes an easy in for talking to their granddaughters too :D

UPDATE
No seedlings yet, except for the spinach, cucumbers, and black eyed peas. Kinda bullshit, I have to reseed everything with new soil. I choose happy frog this time, it's hands down the best bang for your buck to start seeds or seedlings in. on the bright side everything that sprouted was from seed of a plant I grew from last year. That makes me really happy to see the seeds have altered their genetics to grow more successfully in this region of the country.

In these 5 pics you can see how my transplanting process worked. I started by removing the seedlings from the small containers they were in, and replanting them in larger ones. I only transplanted kale, chard, and broccoli today. Everything else can wait. We are going to set up an aquaponics tank in the next week or so.

Normally as long as winter is average, to semi average as far as snow/cold goes I'll cover my plants with 3mil plastic sheeting. Basically painters plastic, it's see through enough that it will let light in. It also will increase the ambient temperature roughly 3-5 degrees depending on sunlight for the day. Obviously on over-cast days, not quite so much If it drops below freezing seldom here for more than just the light, I'll string some of those c7 Christmas lights through the plants being sure to not touch the plants with the bulbs, they will create enough heat to burn them to produce enough heat to prevent the plants from freezing. If a freeze is anticipated, I'll water a little bit too, the water helps insulate the roots, and oddly enough, can help prevent the roots freezing/plant dying.

Him and his missus are good friends of mine, they moved in on my old lot about 10 months after the septic tank caved in. we use city sweage irl the current year, the property manager never had a survey done so there's x² septic tanks that are dilapidated and turning into sinkholes scattered about the park I had to move roughly 14 months ago. They are at the end of the lane, and the natural sunlight is just, slightly, enough to make the difference in good/great plant growth. big shade trees make shade
>aquaponics pros/cons
Pros: you don't need to use fertilizers, or water plants.
1: have a tank, pond, body of water
2: fish, ok turtles, p legit or ducks, top tier shit in the water. A pump, pumps the water into a raised bed, made of expanded shale or pumice rock and the choose your animal waste feeds the plants.
3: set pump on a timer for max efficiency
4: ???
5: profit!
Cons: raccons niggers raep fish, and ducks. Cold/cool temps rekt fish, and/or force turtles into hibernation ducks may also migrate and never return foxes and coyotes will fuck a duck too, if they catch one.

Weather has been pretty schizo lately. Things seem to be mellowing out as far as 40° day/night changes go. Here's some pics, everything seems to be progressing well. I've been picking the chard, kale, and spinach for my sammiches . Got a few new fertilizers from the hydroponic shop I used to work at. I got a pretty good discount, and store credit for resurfacing the floors at his new store, and helping move. Pics upon /r/equest of the floor
