    What a great tip about making sure when you transplant that you bury the lip of the cardboard container to keep it from drying out! I loved it when you went on trips thru antique stores, would love to see some more of those, have you ever found some really good planters in them?

    Hi Allen, I have a large spot of Lime hydrangea. Last year something eaten the flowers. every night they get smaller and smaller no petals then only the scheleton until a dot left on the steam. What can I do to stop this happening this year again. Thank you for your times sharing your knowledge.

    Hello Mr. Allen. Love your videos! I also love Hydrangeas. I’ve tried and tried to plant a cutting garden of them but it has never worked. I live in Houston, Texas. Question: Can I plant them just in huge pots and will they grow and continue to bloom year after year without having to transplant them into the ground? Look forward to hearing from you and happy gardening!

  • @lindabarnes5299

    Love your videos! I'm an avid watcher. What kind of soil do you plant your asparagus in? The video looks pretty sandy.

    • @PAllenSmith
      @PAllenSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Linda Barnes Linda Barnes There is some sand in there. I have a clay base soil, so I had to add some extra amendments in to really loosen the soil. I make a lot of compost and have a lot of chicken 💩 . And I’ve used wood chips, straw, even mixed in shredded newspaper to make my soul blends and to break up the clay. I tilled and mounded heavily before i planted and I apply a layer down on top each year after I trim the stalks and before new growth emerges.

I will get out there and do the same....I too have heavy clay soil and put a lot of compost down but after 4 years, still not a lot of spears....may be too much shade or not enough feeding....will use my chicken poop this year!

      Carla Wolf they probably wouldn’t do so well for an extended time. But if you had a nice balcony, porch or stoop they could live, and you wanted to bring them in from time to time to enjoy inside, I’d say go for it!!! Keep in consideration the weight of the container (especially when watered) they have some great options out there. Good luck!

    I remember you from PBS.I am glad I found you on TH-cam!Question.If someone pours that oil in sand to stick their garden tools in, won't that be contaminated soil that must be burned eventually, so its not put back on the beach or ground, and wouldn;t resiidue on our tools make our vegetables no longer organic? Or can we substitute a food grade oil?But them won't that still be a pollution risk? As we'd have oil soaked sand
