How To Make Your Own DIY Cooler to Save More Flowers!
DIY build ! I reconstructed an old refrigerator into a "new" cooler for my flowers. Did you know that most wholesalers account for 30% loss in their coolers? That is alot of money right out the door. From little room for flowers to a Stand up cooler. We done it! Now to sell more blooms!

My First BEE HIVES On The Flower Farm
มุมมอง 7922 ปีที่แล้ว
I never knew how much nervousness honey bees could cause to a person! I have been trying to be very calm with them. It seems to me like the prep work is the most amount of work that one will put in, am I right? A more experienced beekeeper could tell me! Hopefully they bring a ton of honey from the wildflowers. I got the seeds from HOSS seeds. They have some amazing quality seeds. We have had s...

    If you want to dramatically increase your strike rate, make sure those those world's-dullest-pruners get razor sharp, or use an actual sterile razor. No excuse for sloppy, frustrating, tearing cuts that increase cutting losses. Take pride in your tools young man, and keep up the good work!

    Where did the aphids come from? I’m growing mine inside and yesterday I found my cafe au lait’s were crawling with ?fungus gnats? &/or spider mites! I’m so frustrated. Where did they come from?? I’ve sprayed them with insecticide soap and I propped my rechargeable bug zapper and it has been zapping every 20-30 minutes so there are flying bugs. There were some fine webbing noted too. WHERE did they come from indoors?

    Have you tried a flower stand at the end of your driveway or are you not on a busy road? And/or having Upick days for people to come and pick a bouquet for themselves? It's incredibly admirable that you're devoting such an incredible amount of work to get your farm to where you want it to be, especially on your own. I hope your mentor is also helping physically, because that looks pretty exhausting. Good luck, I hope you have a very successful year.

    As a grower I recommend not waiting until your plants are deficient to feed . A steady diet rich in calcium will keep pests from taking over . The stronger the cell walls the harder it is to infest

    Ouch. The channel/farm is dead now, i'd assume. You should have put black landscape fabric down in that entire tunnel and used panda plastic, not cheap marijuana grow bags. Thirdly, you should have used a more reputable source for the potting mix. I would only trust promix with that large of a grow, all these new companies are selling tainted product. This entire setup was not well thought out. Thanks for making the mistakes so we don't have to.

    Which sodium chloride tablets do you use? We have no plans for selling flowers but, I do grow as many flowers as I can make room for on our 1.5 acre (minus the house, shed, chicken coop, vegetable gardens, 18 tree orchard, high tunnel and in-ground pool) home property. Believe me, I squeeze in at least 100 flower plants. On top of that, we are nurses with long shifts and my husband also teaches at the college when not at the hospital or on-call. Our children are grown with children. I am really looking to share my flowers with community places-hospital, nursing homes, assisted living homes, schools, etc.
