Thanks for the pointers Gina. I thought about you all the other day as I drove past a flower farm here in the Peoria, IL area. Thanks for sharing, Jason
I am a home gardener in Australia who is venturing into cut flowers for home. Currently using jute netting but will try to source some stronger netting. Thank you; that was very helpful. 👍
Great video and great info . Will use next time netting to . It makes so much sense. Love your camera work. Awesome. Love seeing your flower farm make me want to have flowers . 💐
i am new to your site and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying your no-nonsense, factual, informative way of presenting the way you garden. Thank you an please keep posting. Fan in Bozeman, MT
Just found your RU-vid channel looking for how to use netting. Great video! Question - I noticed it looked like you didn't use fabric to keep the weeds out of all your flowers - or did you? For example your sunflowers. It didn't look like you used fabric. How do you keep them so clean?
I higly recommend u get a piece of rebar bitnwider than the bed and use them on the bed ends. Weave the netting in and out..u also them have a really easy way to roll it up and store it..
Thanks Gina! This video is extremely useful. Do you move the netting up as the plant grows? Or do you use a second netting to accommodate the increase in height?
What if you ran netting vertically instead of the weak twine? A fence of vertical netting would better cushion the stems and leaves along more of the plant's height. For wide rows, you could also run a third "fence" of netting down the center. I've been doing that kind of thing when I grow my Zinnias and cosmos in large containers: I put a circular fence of netting all around the pot to about 60 or 65%% the height of the stems. And no matter the wind direction, the leaves and stems are supported.
Great video Gina, now my owner wants me to get some next year for her flowers. Do you run your irrigation system on a timer or do you turn it on and off?
I was thinking that would use one hortanova netting and move it up as the flowers grow! It should save money and time! Never tried it, but I saw on another channel
How big are the square openings in the netting? I would think that is an important detail, as too small an opening might chafe the stems or obstruct the growth.
Thank you for the info! I planted Dara this year, thinking it would work as a filler, but it drops little petals constantly. Makes a mess on the table within 2 days of putting it in the vase. Does the Queen Ann’s Lace she’d like that?
Thank you for that. I don't mean to be difficult. I know floret uses the 4 ft wide beds. What is the benefit of that size vs the 3 ft and why do you use both ? Which flowers go in 4ft and which go I'm 3 feet and do you use the same 3 rows of irrigation whether it's 3 vs 4 feet wide. I really appreciate your input. Just trying to figure out best plan....when starting new....
You’re not being difficult at all 😊 do when I first started out I built 4’ beds. But I’m only 5’1 so it’s difficult for me to reach the middle of the beds comfortably so when I added beds I made them 36” wide but longer 😉
