    soil Mixing a good potting soil...cement mixer...

    Well it's a holiday weekend. I wanted to get some yard work done. I have at least 15 plants that need to go outside. I didn't want to hand mix some potting soil. I picked up a cement mixer from Lowes. I will also use it to do some concrete work. I must put it together. Will post a pic of it...

    That would help to keep the water from getting warm. My timer is doing a good job at keeping water cool. An airstone was a must at only 1 in 5 minutes being on. Good luck with yours.

    I do try to keep it cool. Mine is about 2 feet off the ground on a shelf. I put a timer on it keep the pump from heating up. 1 min on, 4 min off. The airstone seems to be helping too. Here are the results from the last 24 hours... Pic from 24 hours ago. Pic from tonight. You can see the...

    Incredible results the last 24 hours... 24 hours before. Now. Long white roots on tomato plant. Pulled out all my Sweet Basil out of the cloner. Placed it in a bath, then soil. Had to make room for 8 more rose cuttings. 4 yellow rose cuttings, 2 light purple rose cuttings, and 2...

    Anyone using Potassium Silicate on their plants?

    Mine says 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per gallon. For field crops you get a healthier more rugged plant. Even when bugs are attacking. Talk about farmers who irrigate with fert, that is costly too. Just depends what quality you want in your product, and what the market will pay. In AZ they can get from 5 to...

    They clone just fine with stable weather. It was 80 deg F last week with 30 % humidity. Yesterday it was 106 deg F with 4 % humidity. I will have to pull some cuttings that I don't think made it thru the night. We also have some bad fires south of us in San Diego county. They call these winds...

    If I shoot it I'll eat it. Wasn't bad. The doves and rabbit both tasted like sage.

    Garden warfare

    Well last time I went dove hunting, I also came home with a jack rabbit. Just saying a 20ga shotgun with a full choke at 15 yards makes a good BBQ meal out of rabbit. Only out in the country side of course. Look into getting a hot wire type fence. Like they have for small critters or cattle...

    I have a book I have been reading...forget the name at the moment...it talks about the microbiology of the soil, and how it makes or breaks a healthy plant. I will remember the name when I'm not so tired. Here is a some more info on the info I was talking about. I'll get a pic of the product...

    Peppers rotting on plant... Need some advice

    Looks like BER. Definitely use CalMag.

    Rookie experiencing rookie problems

    I don't like using potting soils with built in ferts...you are relying on somebody else to have done their job, and hopefully mixed in just the right amount. I use Sunshine #4 for sedlings. I also give them 24x7 light for about 6 weeks. Looks like your leaf curl might also bee some kind of...

    hydroponic Clear slime forming in hydroponics system

    Yup. Sterilize every thing with bleach. You might be able to save your plants too by cutting off the dead roots, then plunge in 3% peroxide solution to clean off roots. I saved some of my bamboo this way. I only dip it for about a minute then wash by hand cleaning off slime with tap water...
