#permaculture #backtoeden #wateringplants If you are overwhelmed by watering your garden you are in luck. You don't have to.

    I'm an AZ where the first 3 months of gardening there is pretty much no rain (April, May, June) and then we get a lot of rain starting in July. We get about 14 inches on average per year. So, I imagine this works for our zone, but not as well. I just laid down about 3 inches of wood chips on a new garden I'll be doing. I'll separate out the wood chips and put a thick layer of compost for a fall garden. I'm hoping it will make it so I don't need to water as much but I imagine, in the early part of the year, I'll still need to water a little.

      You can take suckers off tomatoes or peppers and root them in water, plants and grow all winter.

If it's extremely dry they'll send the water to the roots to conserve moisture. In containers, wilting is usually root bound and root bound traps moisture leading to root rot.

    You can also get a vivosun aerolight for about $120. Sure, it may be slightly overpriced but it hooks up to their automated control system and has a full spectrum that can be adjusted for the stage of the plant. So to just suggest it's not any different at all is a little misleading. Sure you don't need to monitor your temp, humidity, vpd, and automate your lights but it sure does make life easier.

    • @FastGardeningMichigan
      @FastGardeningMichigan 11 дней назад

      I use a cheap timer to control the lights. Using soil with compost my chickens make containing life and only using rain water has proven to be more important than the lights themselves. I grew cannabis and tomatoes indoors with high yield this past winter and my plant starts take a quarter of the time to be ready.. tomatoes and peppers in 26 days vs. 6-8 weeks. Energy costs and start up cost to yield needs to be factored. You can get a light that's perfect but if it costs a lot of money and costs a lot to operate, the yield, although more, may cost more than a set up that yields less.

    Thx you! Moved in with a friend who has tons of plants. He brings all the large pots into the garage during the winter, brings them back out in the spring. After 20 yrs of everything coming back this yr only 4 plants iut of 30 cane back. He gv his lowes card & said but what you want to replace all that didnt return. I spent $600 on small plants, soil. I did put fresh soil on top of some of the planters w/o growing plants, watered, hoping nutrients would inspire some to pop up. To my knowledge nothing returned. After everything i planted grew tall, some on trellises, some not. My sister claims a moon flower was popping up alongside of 1 i had planted. I dont remember seeing it however i do pull out weeds etc ebery couple of wks. Ive heard this story 3x already so i sent off for moon flower seeds. Theyve now been clip & are soaking in warm water. It is the 2nd wk of june in zone 8 NW Mississippi. Im praying i can pop them in the dirt tomo to put an end to "you killed the moon plants" i pray all 50 seeds take off like wildfire! If so i intend to buy trellises. 🤞 heres to redeeming myself while outshining their measley plant that wasnt so easily identifiable 😂

      I'm about to create a new bed for my moons. I've seen these things growing along highways. They will grow in any conditions! Mine are Datura Innoxia. Bush type. They die back every year but self seed. Unfortunately my original patch got overtaken by quack grass so I'm starting fresh. These tips were implemented and I have a bunch coming up! Good luck! This is something I grew as a small child from seeds given to us by farmers in the family so it's cool to keep the memories alive and watch the hummingbird moths enjoy them at night

      ​@@FastGardeningMichigan we got two Tabby brothers from an abandoned building on Kedzie and 47th and a third little female we found thrown out in the woods here in Michigan by summer people a few years ago . I became a cat person on accident ha
