Same as above

Same seeds all germinated together Soil: fox farm ocean Forrest, kelp meal, azomite, watered with recharge Hydro: started in maxi grow then to the master blend typical tomatoe mix, calcium nitrate, and epsom salt dwc

Why is the hydro so stunted I believe they yellowed because I gave a foliage spray (fox farm flowers kiss) must’ve not reacted well

Any suggestions or help. All my hydro kratky and dwc always die out

Hi everyone,

I’m a passionate gardener and wannabe entrepreneur (I just love building stuff, basically), and I want to create something that truly adds value to the gardening community and the problems we all might have.

But before diving in, I want to hear directly from you! What features would you find most valuable in a gardening website/SaaS/App? Your input will hopefully help shape this into something you’d actually want to use.

Please vote below, and feel free to drop any other suggestions in the comments. I’ll personally respond to as many as I can!

Have a great day/evening, appreciate you all!

EDIT: SORRY FOR THE BAD SPELLED TITLE

What would you do in this situation to facilitate drying out luffah? Some of them are still green as the day they were born. Do I just let them sit out on the vine all winter? Cut them down and bring them in to dry? This is my first year successfully growing them so I've never gotten this far and am not sure what to expect.

Hi everyone,

I have a large area of land (about 100ft x 200ft, in different patches) with a significant slope, and I’m struggling with soil runoff. Erosion has been a concern, and I’m looking for solutions to help prevent further soil loss and stabilize the area. I’ve been researching options and came across Dirt Locker, which seems like a great solution, but it’s pretty costly for the area I need to cover.

One idea I’ve been considering is building a 3ft retaining wall using either wood or concrete to help break up the slope and slow the runoff. Has anyone here built a retaining wall in a similar situation? if anyone has tried this.

I’d love to hear about any solutions that have worked for you, whether they’re professional products, DIY methods, or materials you’ve used for retaining walls. Appreciate any advice or recommendations!

I have tried the vegetation and shrubs, but they are not effective since the area is too big.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I know this makes me sound like a novice, but I need some advice. I used to be really good at keeping my plants up and healthy, and recently gave some away due to moving to a smaller place. I moved, been getting new plants, but for some reason none are surviving the repotting.

I have 2 of my original plants still with me, and they're still doing awesome. I don't know what's happening to my new ones... :(

My wife always spots things along the road or in the woods that she wants to bring home. I’d like to make her a “car kit” of sorts for Christmas. What would you suggest including? I’m thinking pruning shears at the least but wanted to come up with a few more fun but practical items. Something small enough to keep in the car without being a full-on rake.

Hey r/gardening!

My wife loves gardening and I love supporting the things she loves. I maintain her tools by disassembling, cleaning, sharpening, greasing, and oiling them to keep everything in tiptop shape.

Recently, she soaked all her tools in bleach to disinfect them (to prevent the potential spread of diseases like fungi, bacteria, or viruses), and, unfortunately, it oxidized the metal and moving parts, undoing all my work!

So, I’m looking for a solution. Is there a system, product, spray, or method you use to clean and disinfect tools without harsh oxidants like bleach? Maybe something similar to those Barbicide disinfectant jars in locker rooms? Is that a thing anymore?

I’d really appreciate your advice or tips—thanks in advance!

I have an area of my land that is marshy and has natural springs. I was thinking of clearing it and putting some crops out there next year that I'd just let nature look after and hope for the best.

Im in zone 6 so it's fairly cool most of the year, not going to put raised beds over there just right in the ground.

What edible crops would be best suited to an area like this?

The only nutrients I'd add would be rabbit manure once in a while.

Hello gardeners!

I’m a young mother in the baby/toddler stage. My toddler loves to be in nature, but our yard is small and boring at the moment. I was trying to think of ways I could improve it to create a space for him to enjoy and explore.

We live in zone 9b in North Florida and have sandy soil. The area is mostly sunny, but shady near the fence. I plan to only plant in the sideyard and leave the back as open play space.

I’d like to attract butterflies and birds as well as have flowers and maybe some edibles. I need this to be as low maintenance as possible once established as I have had difficult pregnancies and would like it to flourish even if I have to neglect it for health reasons.

My current ideas:

Utilize vertical space with climbers like blackberries and or morning glories on the fence.

Add a bird bath and bird house.

An archway to enter

Cannas, daylillies, milkweed

Wind chimes

Any other fun low maintenance ideas? Easy plants you have had success with. Cute ideas for kids?

I think the cat got into the pot, I was sad to see this chunk of plant on the floor. Saw an earlier post about propagation . My question is should I try and root the whole thing or break it down. Thoughts.

This is an indoor cherry tomato plant that my neighbors gifted me. I water it with the water from my fish tanks & I think that may be why it's the first plant I've ever been able to keep alive. It's been really doing well, but this one little tomato looks so weird. Is it safe to eat?

I do love Camillia’s, but I pay absolutely no attention to this plant. It gets no water during the hot summer, no fertilizer, no compost other than what is natural and I don’t even trim it.

Yet it is covered with beautiful flowers

Anyone finding anything good? I bought a bunch of seeds from Hudson Valley seeds online. Debating buying some Birdies raised beds from Epic Gardening…
