Love black krim, it's an exclusive in my garden. Not a major yeilder, but not terrible. The kicker for me is the right amount of water, too much and they split. I have no issue with pollination or disease, I keep mine pruned bottom for the first 30cm. 👍👌

I was watching a video on Agrivoltaics where they setup a solar panel farm and grow underneath the solar panels plants that like shade. You should make an Agrivoltaic Wasabi farm : )

@woodzystomp1331 2 жыл бұрын

Possibly you could chuck in a couple medium sized oscillating fans in the greenhouse and it should help with your humidity since you have the porous shade clothe on it and having that flutter of the leaves will help promote growth and strength while also keeping down any moist spots. unless of course you just chuck an exhaust fan in there set up to a hydrometer.

The smartpot system uses a copper mesh material to stop roots from invading the mechanism, would a similar approach around the float boxes solve the same issue?

Black Krim tomato originated in Russia... so maybe try it in your cooler season. It's just not suited to Australian heat... Which is why I don't plant them in TX.... but I might suggest them for my sister in Maine. F1 does well for you in Australia because it originated in Florida for commercial production in their heat/humidity. I'm going to try it in TX as well for this reason. Our biggest issue in North TX besides heat, is water. I've been considering trying hydroponics for a while and invested in Dutch Buckets & net pots & hydroton & perlite etc, but then my energy levels plummeted and my gardener didn't want to learn. I need the energy of a 30 yr old to keep up with my vision for my garden.

Cheap usb rechargeable toothbrush for tomato pollination. I went from 20-25% pollination to 80-90% instantly. Just hold the truss stem with the bristles, will vibrate the entire cluster. 2-3 seconds for each truss. Fast & easy, the one I have is "waterproof" so I leave it in a convenient covered place & use as needed. Once a week, just top off the charge & rinse of if needed. (If you save seeds, best to hand pollinate & cover flowers. Polin can be smelt meters away.)

@willulearn 2 жыл бұрын

Also, because I’m thinking of doing some step by step videos on what I have learned about hydroponics (85% from you), have you ever thought about doing drone footage? Overview from top, and fly throughs your garden? I just recently got into drones and it can produce some amazing shots! Just food for thought. No pun intended, but it’s there!

Myself and other growers cut off the tendrils to keep the plants from attaching themselves to others.

@elizabethschiller2193 Жыл бұрын

Seeing that you do have a soil garden (albeit in containers for those in apartments) .... perhaps you could consider the issue that those of us who want to stick to soil gardens but have issues with heat & adequate water, as we do in TX ... because many cannot afford or have access to hydro nutrients ... but we can find a way to supply those nutrients via compost & worm castings etc... especially a concern for those who just don't have the time to put into such a complex system. All this information is fascinating... but I need to apply it in 2023 when the economy has gone to crap. I have friends who would love to produce their own food but live in apartments and can't afford to install complex hydro systems or buy pumps & work all day to afford rent and can't be there to water their plants 3 or more times a day. I realize these are old videos... but I'm sure this must be an issue for some of your newer subscribers.

Wasabi likes cool water. The wasabi collected from nature lives in cool shallow valley water. Wasabi doesn't like temperatures warm enough for tomatoes or cucumbers to grow.

Most, there are always gaps in yield and sometimes it makes more economical sense to buy stuff like carrots... I just do whatever makes sense at the time. Generally we have way too much to eat, which is a good problem to have.
