Vasili, that bed of yours is in shade for part of the day. I know sun for 8-10 hours on the plants is best, but in spring and summer how many hours is a minimum of sunshine? My yard isn’t big enough to have sun on all parts of the garden all day.
I kept last years tomato seeds and separated floaters and sinkers and picked out the not so good looking ones after they dried. I planted 6 floaters and 6 sinkers and have had 3 of each germinate. I thought that I would try it but didn't expect the floaters to work. Maybe in a bigger batch there might be a bigger fail but for me that's enough. I'll keep an eye on how well they produce.
Your Garden likes being mulched with itself. Vegetables do not like Australian Barks. Vegies did not evolve with our Flora, pine bark they will tolerate but add lime.
Feeding: Roots are not an instant switch. It takes a couple of weeks for the plants to adjust to a different nutrient level. A little bit often is gentle. OVERDOSING a plant with nutrients is the worst thing you can do, the poor thing has a nervous breakdown. May as well spray it with Roundup and pull it out a day later, totally pointless. A good Garden takes time, Plants take time, you cant rush the Seasons, your Plant lives for the Seasons, chill out and live at the pace of your Plants, leave em alone and wait. BTW the Black Grit works I gave it to a stunted woody Lemon on the edge of the Desert 5 years ago living in poor clayey sand almost silt and it came alive and is still short but so dark green and full of fruit year round, I have to pull flowers off and tip prune or it would break from the weight of the fruit. Its been a very interesting experiment. BG is Volcanic Sand as far as I know just full of Silicates and Minerals in Trace Element proportions, it helps the plants access thats already there. Ive done nothing else to it just applied black grit and water. Its why Thailand can grow Pineapples from canned Pineapple pieces. I feel sorry for Vasili because I got the Black Grit free postage in a combined $ deal and I ordered 20kg bucket and the grit was about $20 and the postage cost him $60, but Vasili dot not call and cancel the order, hes a Gentleman.
You make me laugh Vasili. Its a good start to the day🙂. Thank you for all the useful information and inspiration. Please never give it up. 🌿 Have a fantastic day.
@@annettecook7213 thank you, I might give that a try. I've never made jam but it's probably about time i give it a go, as now all of my fruit trees are starting to really take off and produce more fruit than I can eat. At least all the parrots and other animals are enjoying the fruits of my labour as well. Happy gardening.
@@aaronhopkins6697 Yes, mulberry jam is nice. You can also freeze them. Lay them on a baking tray and freeze for 2-3 hours then you can pop them in a bag for storage. Cheers!
So, same as tomatoes then? I only save seeds from a few different veg and have never tried cucumber or zucchini. Maybe this year I'll give it a go. Cheers!
I love Sarah, she is amazing. So friendly and welcoming. She knows her stuff and I am excited to be her customer. Another order coming your way this week Sarah 💕💕💕
What are you making the garden beds with , do they have a bottom. Is there contact information for Sarah's store because we're interested in her seedlings. Thanks
What a fabulous idea, face to face contact, talking to a HUMAN is so important Shame we are losing this important aspect in life. Look forward to meeting everyone, and continue buying your products
Omg so sad that I missed the workshop. Was a great day by the look of it. Well done Sarah presenting on camera is definitely not easy as you’d think. Look forward to seeing other outlet people being interviewed 👏👏👏
I’ve tried all these methods and if you have the room espalier on the rio beats them all easily as it’s harder to get disease, they produce nicer fruits, bigger fruit, more tidy and live longer..
Like rust and blight seem to be a soil issue, you would think leaf curl is too. Commercial people would add sulphur. Garlic adds sulphur to the soil. Stone fruit like ph 6-6.5. Maybe using lime and increasing ph is just making the issue worse every year. Like copper sulphate and lime mixes are at like ph 7, unless you use too much lime, but that will increase soil ph. Copper seems more bio available at lower ph too, so if soil ph is like neutral and not slightly acidic, the copper in the soil wont be effecting the leaf curl fungi. Maybe
@@teako1008 I didn’t use that I used potassium bicarbonate and just use the ratio on the container. It’s specifically a garden product and anti fungal.
I stopped spraying anything on my nectarine a couple years ago and let it be since it was quite bad. This year along with last year no to very little leaf curl.
This is brilliant, Vasili. Very helpful. At this rate, there's a risk I could quickly become obsessed with growing olives, buy a plot and go about it myself. Yiayia might even be proud :D
Good day, I bought a eureka tree a year ago & it lost all its leaves & just put out flowers. I just cut off the stems where it was flowering, gave it cutrus feed & water, hoping for the best. The tree is too small to fruit, hence the reason I want it to grow for another 2 years atleast
Noticed the sauce bottle cap on the liquid gold bottle. Brilliant idea. I’ve tried tipping it into the lit. It goes everywhere. Then l used a syringe without the needle ,works well but still have to wash it out after every use. But now l’m saving the sauce squeeze bottle lid. Wow great idea.
