They're the easiest wertical farming system there is to run- low cost to buy (compared to other vertical systems) low cost to run, either indoors or outdoors.
@@KristoffLam Hi Kristof, the auto dosing system uses an offgrid pressure based system, it automates the whole thing. It comes with the system when purchased. Have a look at this we did- shows the system and how it works 👍studio.ru-vid.com9bPvHfIh-Kw/edit
Thank you for this! When spraying am I drenching everywhere or just misting? Do I wash/rinse after application or is that just for edible plants? When adding 5ML to sitting mix how is that converted with the US 3% I am assuming I should do the hydrogen peroxide solution for the soil when I spray also. My Pachira Aquatic / Money Tree is new. I have had it for about 4 months and seems to be thriving, new beautiful growth. I repotted and cleaned all the leaves about 3 months ago. It really seemed to enjoy it. But now I have seen a few I think gnats hovering. So I am doing research and checking my tree. I am noticing other things too. These were not there when I cleaned each leaf with water and soft cloth. Some holes, some browning spots, a few white spots, I'm not sure if I see scale bugs on the trunks, I think the more I look the more suspicions I have. I may be overanalyzing. I am new to the indoor plants or any plants. Thank you for this video as I have no idea what may be happening and trying to identify it is much harder than a google search, I have been searching, reading, watching videos for 5 days now.
Trust me, my hair is going whiter by the day. Nothing against hair colour- I was simply trying to explain that there are other things that Hydrogen Peroxide is used for than what most people know it for- dying your hair.
Thanks for sharing the benefit of your thorough research ❤. Here in south Sinai desert We cant get Neem oil. However i grow rosemary and make my own oil for spraying. I also add in a little clove oil. Its a constant battle. Spider mites above ground and nematodes underground. I am still undeterred 😂
Thx for super fast reply..!!! How many days we can store this liquid? Or should we make when we want to spray? Can we use this in small vegetable plants? Like one month plants?
What a effort & knowledge for this video . Can we say that this is total solution for insects of vegetable garden? Should we wash plant after spray?How long we can keep the solution? My english is not good. I understand that we should mix 3 ingredients & 4 th ( hydrogen peroxide) should mix at the time of spray.we should take this liquid 5 ml per lit . Just want to confirm that we spray every week. Can we use this as a preventive care in vegetables?
Hi Chetan- IT's difficult, to say for certain that this is going to work for all insects. I would think though- it's going to be a pretty good cure for most types. Yes wash plants after use. The neem oil needs to be washed of and do not eat the plants for about 2 days afterwards- the active compound when mixed with water will start to break down after 8 hours so mix what you need and use immediately. Weekly spraying is good- not more often than that. Preventative...... I would go with using it if you have a problem. Just keep looking at your plants regularly. It's all about timing, the quicker you find the problem and then do something about it, will be your biggest cure.
we want them for at home just growing our own produce kind of thing. weve been looking into it for a little while but are lost as to how to start and where to get everything, but if u have somehwere we can buy it from that would be amazing
In my experience neem oil is a waste of time and money. Ineffective even if you spray it directly on the pests and everything will stink as hell. Not to say it contaminates sprayer. I suggest getting (natural) spinosad based insecticide that is used in organic farming (sold under many brand names) . Will be cheaper, easier to use and way way more effective.
I was taught to use dawn with baking soda and a few drops of neem oil or vegi oil. The oil prolongs contact of soap and baking soda helps with fungus or mold and the soap breaks down the outer protective barrier on the bugs. Plus cleans the plant and soil.
@@Becoming1 I fill a squirt bottle with warm water, a couple drops of dish detergent, a couple drops of neem, a couple drops of vegi oil, a tsp of baking soda, and the rest with some rubbing alcohol if it's on hand. Just squirt everything down. I do it in the evening. They say not to when the sun is shining. Something about the magnification of the water on the plants might be too intense. So evening is when I use it. Hope this helps. ♥️
The sodium metal in baking soda is a toxic alkali. Common symptoms of foliar spray sodium toxicity are leaf burn, scorching, and dead tissue along the outer edges of the leaves.
Hey! So I work with these guys: www.sowseeds.co.uk/products/pea-meteor-vegetable-seeds . At the same time I've also got 3 bee hives quite close to the towers so perhaps its an issue with not enough pollinators?
I'm working to get bee hives in next spring. I think maybe the variety I'm growing is just too vining so they get so massive. Yours are more bushy. I'll do some research and try another variety. Thanks!@@myseedleaves
@@theaeroponictowerchannel no worries- you'll know as well as I do, the dwarf varieties of most plants are the best on a tower. I got a ton of cherry toms last year and have white aubergines on my indoor farm, they're awesome. I've been very slack on this channel in the last 4 months but I'll try and put a reel up of them, they look awesome.
Yes! I just did a reel on the small tomato varieties I love for the tower. I grew Patio Baby variety aubergines last summer and they put off around 50 small purple fruits each plant. So incredible! Love the towers. Love your channel! @@myseedleaves
They don't come as seedlings, as such you have to grow a substrate block first, which will then fruit. We will be selling these on our new platform www.myseedium.com in about 3 months 👍
Sure. Winds- the towers have an 80 litre bowser of water which holds the same as 80kg of weight. As long as it is kept full It is very rare that the tower falls, I've only seen it once and that was on a Tomato tower with a cage and alot of plants and I think the tower was half full. Temperature- outside, it's pretty much the same as growing in soil in the country that you are in, it's just much more plants in the area and much easier to do. If you put in a polytunnel or greenhouse that's extending the season out by about 2 months. Rain- no problem, the watering system will provide about 25 litres a week, if it rains and the towers are pretty much full anyway, it won't really effect it. Hot weather- depends on the plant types you are growing, some plants are good with heat, some like it cooler. Where are you based?
@@myseedleaves I live in Athens and I have 3 towers just for a test (outdoors). I am thinking of starting an outdoor farm with about 30 towers. So I am trying to understand if I can have crops for 12 months and of course all the troubleshooting. Here in Greece, we have temperatures from 0-42 Celsius, strong winds ect
@@yannis.panagiotopoulos So I've been doing some work with someone on a potential farm in Cyprus which is relatively similar in terms of the climate I think. It's all about plant selection, using natural shading on certain plant types etc. The winter becomes all about selecting the right plant types but even then, plants slow down with the lack of light and heat- there is nothing you can easily do about this other than bring the farm indoors. If you want to discuss more- william@seedleaves.com
Absolutely would work- just be mindfull that Dehydrating take alot of the volume out of mushrooms so I'd make the slices a little larger. Otherwise, if you were going to fry the fungi, you could marinade in oil and herbs- also great.
Hi thank u so much for your video! I’m going nuts to try to save a tropical fruit tree (Mamey sapote) that I just had installed in my yard a few months ago. It’s infested with small ants. I’m pretty sure they are not fire ants. I have masking tape on the trunk and some ants are crawling over it. I put diatomaceous earth at the base of the tree. I’m still seeing the ants. I don’t see aphids but the leaves look gnarly. I don’t know what to do. What else should I be looking for. Could I have overwatered the tree ? I saw little flying gnats yesterday.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out and sharing your situation. Dealing with ants in tropical fruit trees like Mamey sapote can indeed be challenging. It’s great that you’ve already tried diatomaceous earth. Since you’re still seeing ants, consider checking for other pests like scale insects or mealybugs, which can attract ants due to the honeydew they produce. Overwatering could contribute to the problem, especially if you’re noticing gnats, which often thrive in moist soil. To address this, ensure proper drainage and allow the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. Additionally, using ant baits around the tree may help control the ant population. Keep monitoring the tree’s health and consider consulting a local horticulturist for a more precise diagnosis. Best of luck with your Mamey sapote tree!” This response addresses the specific issues raised, offers practical solutions, and encourages further action if needed.
Thank you very much, this video is very helpful, the insects im seeing in my plants are just under the soil and I usually see them on my plant saucer, sometimes they jump or fly, I’m not really sure
Does cooking them change or weaken some of its health effects? I’m just wondering if you should take supplements while eating them or if eating while cooked is enough.
So you can't actually ingest LM or other medicinal types without 'cooking' them.their mass is made of chitin which can cause gastric upset. Most of the powdered varieties have been bought up to a specific temperature to break down the chitin anyway. Which would have leached out some of the nutrients. If you cook the lM into a broth or chowder, all the nutrients will be preserved as you're using the liquid as well.
I stopped watching when you said that water droplets act as tiny magnifying glasses. That was debunked a decade or more ago. There are still people that spread this falacy, but some of them might be repeating your statement. Everyday all around the world, it rains in the heat of the day. The storm passes and the sun shines on the wet leaves and plants with no magnafication damage to any plants.
Hi Larry, thanks for your comments. I'm not sure whether I agree on this , you are comparing normal h20 water droplets, rainwater, with a liquid with multiple other compounds in it. Neem oil for instance, the bottle says don't spray in the midday sun and just about every search I do online from other manufacturers and gardening channels say the same. Same with H202, insecticidal soap- all say the same thing. I totally agree with you when it comes to normal watering of plants.
Not that I even vaguely see the large language ai models as correct in everything- I always double check if I do use them but this was the response: Your caution about not using the homemade pesticide mixture during the middle of the day is actually well-founded. Here's a brief explanation: Neem Oil: Neem oil can cause leaf burn when applied during peak sunlight hours. It's typically recommended to apply neem oil in the evening or early morning to avoid direct sunlight. Hydrogen Peroxide (H202): While useful as a pesticide, hydrogen peroxide can also cause burning, especially under strong sunlight. Soap: Soapy solutions can increase the risk of sunburn on plant leaves, as soap can reduce the leaf's natural protection against the sun. Rubbing Alcohol: Alcohol can be harsh on plants and, like the other ingredients, can increase sensitivity to sunlight, leading to leaf burn.
Tea tree, peppermint oil, 70 percent isopropil alcohol and hydrogen peroxide . One table spoon of each into two gallons of water. Spritz on the plants and soil surface.
