The only thing I dislike about growing in bags so far is you can't carry more than one at a time. Early on in the season I move them around a lot from rain/wind and carrying 4 at once is so much faster..
I think I've seen people say they use those dissolving tablets for foliar sprays, 'Tums' I think? I've never done it so don't try it without doing some research on it first.
I've been considering doing something like this for my plants growing in growbags. Since the top of the growbags can be manipulated I figured I could fold it down towards the plant then get a big styrofoam plate, cut a slot in it, and put it overtop. Not sure if you can find styro plates big...
Last year I had major problems when it rained for hours a day for almost 2.5 weeks. Even moving them under an overhang didn't help that much because it was constantly in the shade, and the humidity was so high.
This year I've increased my drainage by adding more perlite and plan on moving...
Ahh ok, that is a hell of a good deal. Every bag I've got this year has been 10-12 bucks :( Definitely going to put some consideration time into learning to make my own next year!
I may have missed something, if so, sorry, but Is there no way to order a few yards of potting soil from a nursery or something, so you do not have to use bagged soil? If not don't forget to check prices for truck rentals at homedepot, it might be cheaper than Uhaul.
Never read the hardy boys but I read a shit load of goosebumps and almost every animorph book they made. Pretty much only read harry potter after that until I was in early/mid twenties then started reading fantasy again. Right now I'm really enjoying Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, Brent Weeks...
I had quite a few this year. I had much better success pulling the seeds off by NOT grabbing on the edge of the seed. The ones I grabbed the front/back of seed all came off easily, I lost 3/4 of the ones I tried to save by grabbing the edges.
