Come get all of mine you want. I’ve seen Virginia Creeper send people to the doctor for repeated shots and pills. For some, it’s far worse than poison ivy but let’s purposely plant it. 🤦♂️
You forgot to mention that you should choose an indeterminate potato. Otherwise you're not really accomplishing anything, and won't raise your yield by earthing up.
Thank you so much for this video. It is very informative and easy to watch. Somebody threw out a perfectly good palm and I took it~ I feel prepared to care for my new baby.
I dont know if one soil amendment you used is strictly British, I am in colorado, and I've no idea what /donnens#3 is??? It would be good if you actually stated what that is or countires that don't know th name you call it by. thanks
Made of what? Plastic? It will keep it dry which can help. Other than that not very effective. You need to get frost cloth and some old Christmas lights to protect it properly.
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
Cuttings hanging offshoot from the mother chusan palm It means that when it is cut, it will be a possibility without roots is this normal? Cuttings hanging from the mother plant It means that when it is cut, it will be a possibility without roots is this normal? After planting it, will it start rooting?
The video was clear, and very precise.. It was just what I needed. I was blessed yesterday with 3 huge palms and I was not sure of the soil mix to repot. Thank you..
Hi Jack. I have one of these creepers and love it and is covering my whole fence. However, I don’t know if I need to cut it right back or leave it. My plan is to hide the fence so worry about cutting it back. Can you help please?
Hi Jack , I'm struggling to Identify a fan palm that grew from seed in my garden. I live in the south of Spain where the streets are surrounded in palm trees of multiple types so not sure where my seed came from . characteristics are : single trunk, flat fan leaves , quick growth (13 leaves and about 3 feet tall in 18months) ,spikes on stems, approx 30 thick leathery leaflets per leaf each with fibrous hairy edges , bright green on both sides - any Ideas ??? Gracias
I love the use of old plastic ours for modern day crocks ( old broken terracotta pots) great reuse of a problematic none recyclables. Plus, love the gardening in bare feet, cute. 😅
I am deathly allergic to Virginia creeper and it is very invasive it will grow in my berries where I HAVE to tear it out and I invariably get it somewhere on my body and then am MISERABLE for about 10 days. I hope none of your family is allergic to it.
Why do you add the crushed plastic pots please ? I can’t see that you need them for drainage when you use John Innes compost mix which contains sand for drainage. Surely the more compost the better. Would love to know your theory behind it. Thanks.
I have just pulled one of these (trachycarpus fortunei )from beneath my hedge. To my knowledge it ha been horizontal since we purchased the house 5 years ago. It is around 8 feet long with several leaf fans. The plant has been laying sideways along the ground beneath the hedge. We decided to pull it out to see if we could erect it in the garden. When it was finally dragged out we found that it has obviously been cut down as at the base is basically a trunk about 9 inches in diameter, no roots, just a sawn through trunk. The plant appears healthy with about a dozen fan like leaves. I assume it's been getting its nutrients from the main trunk being in contact with the ground as it has no apparent roots? Should we just dig a hole and put it in, or should we shorten the trunk a little first?
