Love your videos, took my first sweet pepper harvest to market today. 🙏 I'm looking to do iceburg lettuce next and I'm constructing a 10x60m shadenet house for it. I'm a first time farmer so thank you for your advice 🙏
Peppers can be a tough crop but great learning points along the way. For lettuce a shadehouse would work if your area has higher day time temperatures. We were just discussing adding in some nets to the field. What % of shade nets do you currently use?
@@vanillajoefarm I actually did my peppers on open field and used drip irrigation. For my lettuce field under construction, I've purchased 40% nets. Its coming towards winter in my region and in looking to get my transplants in for a harvest in July
Have you ever used small hoop gardening for your outside plants? It seems like you've always got a huge war going on with bugs. Hoop netting would definitely help if you can find the material for free or cheap? Or even reuse some stuff around the farm? I'd literally be spraying that neem oil on and underneath ALL my crops if finances allowed. Then again, it's worth it if it keeps plants from being eaten or killed. If you haven't already tried it, i would do some netting for all your outside crops :) it also would create some shade from the intense heat from the hot dry days you get, and control water pressure from hard rain crushing the weaker plants.
I am working on a project that would hopefully do this. Problem for our outside is the extreme heat to rainfall. The nets or plastic have to be moved frequently and that hinder the benefits. One of the main reasons I stopped using plastic mulch.
Combination of this: Tank A Yara Calcinit Potassium Nitrate Iron Tank B Potassium Nitrate MPK 0-52-34 MgSul Micro blends or I use ICL Peter’s 9-45-15 mixed if I can not find MPK which is awesome. I also really use a lot of bacteria in the soil/soulless plus a weekly spray of ICL Peter’s 9-45-15 I could also add more Cal Bor Zinc foliar sprays but not really needed.

So I'd be more inclined to think that your wilting is coming from root rot. You do have most of the signs, cupping of leaves and the leaf margins are drying out, which are classic signs of drought but can be mimicked by the lack of roots to support transpiration. Which by the time I'm posting this you may already have found a solution.
I have been busy the past two months fixing this issue. It has only slowly increased in heat index and we had some issues watering. I hope to get some videos going again. I was also thinking the rootzone was affected to since these plants flower a lot causing more stress on an under developed rootzone.
@@vanillajoefarm You may be on to something with regards to their root zone, or lack of roots. In the greenhouse we had at our previous property and it was by no means very big by comparison to what we have now, but my focus on all my plants was how can I make the root zone have the best environment possible. That's my challenge this year at our new property, because last years weather here bruised and tattered my 30 years of gardening ego! LOL, regarding getting some videos going again. My daughter bought me a GoPro, wanting me to create videos. That's a great idea, but I know you guy's spend a tremendous amount of time creating them and twice as much time editing them. Cheers and good luck!
@@vanillajoefarm Wow, I thought mine was high at 7.8. I've been bringing it down to about 6.5 and although that's in a soilless media, the peppers and tomatoes will be grown in soil under a High tunnel. I also am using well water that's super hard and is very high in iron bacteria. As this is my first year growing in the high tunnel, I feel the well water is going to be my biggest challenge. our soil here is clay based and very alkaline as well.

Bless up awesome video
Glad you like the video. I’ll have new posted soon.

👀👍
Totally, was just looking a new seed catalog for 2024 planting. What do plan to grow this year?

Thank you sir. Very informative video. i love pepper very much. ❤
Glad to hear, I am excited to see how our lettuce turns out.
Yeah... I also watch that. excited to see your harvesting lettuce.

Great for your planting techniques. Do you use drip irrigation or irrigation for this type of planting?
I use drip tape for the field type and then drip spikes for the pots. I like using 1 spike per plant to ensure even watering.
Those are nice looking peppers! What fertilizer are you using for your peppers?

Tank A
Yara Calcinit
Potassium Nitrate

What is the pH of your irrigation water?
It is around 9.0 pH stream, ground well or city commercial line. Our area is very alkaline.
