      I use cedar mulch in my beds because of termites don't like cedar. I put cedar in my pots because it doesn't rot like regular wood mulch. I put it in the bottom of my pots for drainage and mix my fertilizer in with the mulch because this is where your roots will be in contact. Need to be sure you have one good hole about one inch wide in bottom of pots or 1/4 inch holes around bottom top of pot. This will keep water from standing in bottom of pots so roots don't rot.

    This is so much fertilizer and so many different kind that you are using, I like to grow organic so I Only use shrimp compost when I plant and epsom salt after that.I never use any water on the leaves, three plants last year gave me 857 cucumbers with zero problems with any kind of bugs. The difference might be that mine are in a small green house we built and I always plant chive not too far from the cucumbers which take care of all the bugs and for tomatoes the same thing plus I plant sweet basil and radishes not too far from the plant. I have been doing that for 5 years and never had any problems.

    I’ve love your videos and I have purchased the Neem package. I ended up dumping my first concoction because I only had lemon dish soap that stops red ants in their tracks. Seriously I can stand in a big fire ant hill and surround myself with a circle of lemon dish soap and they won’t cross it. So not knowing for sure figured it would be too toxic for my plants. So remaking solution with some natural Castile soap. I am commenting because I know that clipping one of the seedlings (more then one germinating) so the other can grow more efficiently. I couldn’t bare to kill the other cucumber seedlings because it was so healthy and vibrant. So I cut a seedling from two double germinated cucumbers and I placed them in a bowl of water and they grew strong roots. I planted them in a pot when ready and they are still doing amazing! I took photos through whole process. I read this wasn’t supposed to be possible. They are marketmore cucumbers. Just sharing this here since my husband is tired of me passionately telling him everything going on in the garden. Haha

    Great video Gary, there is nothing like the smell of a fresh picked and sliced cucumber! Getting the garden ready for spring now here in Central Florida. We're a little behind from moving into our new house, but I have a few different things growing already. I can't wait until I get my raised beds built and set up! I have the gardening itch because it's been a while since I've harvested some fresh veggies.

    My dad just used homemade compost and that's it. He put seven on plants for bugs but not on vegetables. Didnt use to have all these fertilizers just manure. To many chemicals we don't need. Just use organic fertilizer. Miracle grow is the worse you can use and any like it. Any thing organic is better for your soil. You can get magnesium with banana peels and calcium with egg shells. Put these in your garden. I grind up egg shells and put in my pots and make a water mixture with banana peels. Just go on websites and see how to use egg shells, banana peels and coffee grounds for your pots and garden. Throw all your scraps in your garden. My dad did this during the fall and winter so they would break down for spring planting. He used his grass clippings for mulch.

Have you ever considered putting together a Garden journal with reminders of what to do daily . weekly. etc for the most common plants along with your recipes for pest and disease control. I am new to gardening and something like that would be really helpful. You could also link to your videos for demonstrations. It could cover seed starting indoors through the entire growing season.

    I will certainly try this NEXT year! For the last few years, I have had NO cucumbers; big gorgeous vines, but with limited female blooms that even with hand pollinating, did not produce fruit. Every day the plants would wilt in the heat and then perk up after watering, but then, it would seem that I was drowning them Last week, I just gave up trying to save them and pulled them out for fall planting. Texas summers aren't good for most things, but a better soil mix might make the difference.

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN

    I never really considered all of the differences between soil ecosystems re: ground versus pot. I feel like I'm taking a master gardener class when I watch your videos! The only time I've really differentiated between the two is when I water with the chlorinated water my town provides. Sometimes the smell is so strong and I've had an aversion to pouring all of that chlorine into a closed system like a pot, so when I empty my watering cans I immediately fill them again and let them sit overnight to let the chlorine evaporate. Do you have to deal with chlorinated water?

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN
      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Mine is chlorinated by the city but I don't smell it. But I do use tap water with no issues. Containers are very different. A lot of people do soilless mixes like all coco coir. That is when you really need water soluble ferts. Very glad to help.

      If the ground is great, make compost and skip all the other amendments. Use that year after year. In the ground veggies would respond the same. You have time to make compost now and just use it next year on so on.

    Wish you had a layout sheet with what to use and when..... new subscriber , love your videos. You are informative and clear. It helps seeing the good and bad side of gardening and container gardening. I’m sure I knew about broken plants releasing smells but wasn’t thinking about it. I usually plant marigolds. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your mistakes. Please consider the spreadsheets

    If you use the water soluble nutrients for feeding your plants you need to and have to let some of that water run out the pot so you dont get salt build ups and raise your ph out of range and start nutrient lock out

      I'm no expert, but Ive noticed many experts talk about removing the lower leaves of plants so they're not touching the ground. Its plants on the ground that suffer the most insects; keep leaves off ground and it will lessen the problem.
