Can Tomatoes Cross Pollinate
Many tomato growers stress themselves out as to whether or not their prized tomatoes will cross-pollinate and ruin their attempts at 'purity'.
The fact is however that this - though possible - rarely happens, as the floer is usually fertilized before it has actually opened!
This is a very short video to explain a little further.

How to store onions for the winter
มุมมอง 6704 หลายเดือนก่อน
Storing onions for the winter involves a few key steps to ensure they remain fresh and usable. Start by curing freshly harvested onions in a well-ventilated area for about two to three weeks. This process allows the outer layers to dry and form a protective skin. Once cured, trim the tops and roots, leaving about an inch of the stem. Store the onions in a cool, dry, and dark place, ideally betw...

Re-Covering a Storm Damaged Polytunnel (hoop house)
มุมมอง 216 หลายเดือนก่อน
So how many people does it take to re-cover a polytunnel? Well this 28 x 14 foot tunnel was covered over with just just 3 willing souls helping to dig out the old polythene. It took only 2 of us OAP's :) to cover it over and pull the covering tight enough to do the job. Total work was done over 2 days - so a very productive weekend altogether! Now we are all ready for the growing season and get...

      I usually just add some good compost and perhaps a slow feed such as bonemeal to the old bales. Feeding throughout the season is usually required to get the best results.

    Hi! I’m going to try to do this with the sprouted onion from my pantry for the first time, so thank you for your videos! Should I keep the sprouted onions inside the house and will they be smelly as they grow? Or can I plant them outside in indirect sun, but I’m afraid the deer will eat it, our garlic and onions appetizing for the deer to eat, asking because they ate all my flowers and plants this winter!

    • @Planterspost
      @Planterspost 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Onions are best planted outdoors in shady areas. Grown inside they will smell (as onions do) and are unlikely to grow well. They are a cool weather vegetable that is prone to sprout or 'bolt' if it get too warm or cold for them. Best between 68-77 F

    • @Planterspost
      @Planterspost ปีที่แล้ว

      Rather than a pot, why not try a 'potato sack'? Add a few inches to the bottom then 2-3 potatoes. Cover with a couple of inches only. As the plants grow up through the soil, continue to cover just leaving a few leaves sticking out. Continue this to the top of the sack. The potatoes will grow all the way down the shaw and give you a good harvest. Its similar to growing in a cardboard box.

    What kind of fertilizer do you put on the bales of straw and do you add soil to them

    • @Planterspost
      @Planterspost ปีที่แล้ว

      You need to add a high nitrogen 7+ fertilizer such as lawn fertilizer. Be careful that it does not contain weed or moss control. As for soil, you can cover the bale especially if it is surrounded with timber as in this example, or more commonly, you can dig pockets into the bale to plant your seedlings in and give them a good start. check out this article for more complete instructions... planterspost.com/straw-bale-gardening-complete/
