Speaking of lawn enthusiast, has anyone here tried or practice organic fertilizing their bermuda/fescue?    I've used synthetics for years and have always been happy with the results but just curious to see if anyone has done this with success.

I've been told by a few, and through my research I agree, that this is a midge. What I can't figure out though is if it's a beneficial or a vector? I have 100's if not thousands of these things around the house and most of them will congregate on my pepper plants. I don't notice any initial...

Anyone use these for making compost?   http://www.amazon.com/Forest-City-Models-Dual-Batch-Compost/dp/B007XIXGWG/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1373548776&sr=8-8&keywords=compost+bin+tumbler   I'm sure there is an easier way but had a friend who has one of these show me his the other day. A very cool...

I don't have anything to quote just mainly because there is a vast amount of information out there, but I have read over the years a lot about health benefits from cayenne peppers. I was curious if there was something in the actual cayenne pepper itself or is it all peppers? I know there is also...

Just wanted to give Chewie a big round of applause for babysitting some peppers for me while I was away from home. I've never seen a community that is more willing to help than THP. What a great group of guys and gals.   Also big thanks to Wes Lane for throwing in a Butch T for me. He didn't...

Hope everyone around the Dallas area survived the storm last night. Looked pretty wicked. I'm in downtown dallas locked in a hospital room and the lightning/rain was crazy but at least we missed the tornados. I spoke with Chewi and other than a little hail they made it. Hope all the THP Texas...

Had a record low for Lubbock here on Tuesday... Go figure. 85 the day before. I had already planted this out. Any suggestions or is it done?

So i started 2 lemon drops in an aerogarden along with 5 other plants and my TS and Bhut took over the whole area pretty quick so i transplanted them into some solo cups. I used patrick's method of 2 solo cups and bottom watered them. This is the bigger plant that I planted out today in a east...

Last year I had a minor/major thrip problem. I was thinking this year I would try planting more plants to deter such insects. What do you guys recommend? I've read that the brighter colors can attract the thrip (Western flower thrips to be exact). Is it worth planting to actually attract them or...

Roughly 2 months ago I planted 72 seedlings. Just 2 days ago I had a bhut red hook. Anyone ever seen that long of germination??? I figured after 3 or 4 weeks it was done for.

I've seen periodically people mention how long you keep indoor lights on their plants. What's a good rule of thumb? I have 2 40w T12 6500k bulbs on my babies. 20 hours? All the time?

Finally got some lights today... Little shaky on the setup but it's what I have to work with for now. Ghetto? Yes. Wife mad? Probably. Will it work? Only time can tell!

How important is it? I will move them outside somewhere around early April and want to have them ready by then. I've got seedlings popping out left and right and want to make sure I do all I can to insure this. Do I need heat after they pop? I have light on them and from about 4-6 I get direct...

72 pods and 10 days later finally! 7 pot Barrackpore.

Come to find out it's almost impossible to find a heat pad without an auto-shutoff. So after an hour thinking on this I came up with a solution.

Is there not a sticky somewhere for this? I've always just bought my plants from the local nursery here, but I thought I would dabble into starting from seed this year. I read about heatpads and perfect temps and what not, but I would like some exp. users to give some feedback. Can I not just...

Anyone ever try this stuff? http://www.ladybugbrand.com/products/Vortex-Potting-Soil.asp I tried making my own potting mix last year consisting of peat moss, cow manure, and perillite. Peppers just didn't seem to do very well. It really wasn't too cheap either. So I thought if I'm going to...

Anyone ever have these invade your peppers? I have a few plants that they have just covered. I can't tell if they are doing any damage but I just have to expect they are because there are hundreds of them. Best pic I could find to show what these little guys are is here...

In the past 2 days I've picked about 14 hornworms off my peppers. I have Neem's oil, should I just spray in the evening for any I miss? I sit there for an hour staring at my 16 plants but I know I will miss one or two and it doesn't seem to take these little buggers long. Any recommendations...

It went from green to red then to.... mushy.... Was trying to wait until it turned yellow? Do I have the wrong plant?
