One household ingredient will Make your tomato plants stronger and more disease resistant and produce more tomatoes per plant, better quality and more nutritious fruit. Two years ago when my video "Grow Tomatoes not Leaves" came out, one of the most popular parts of that video was this special mystery ingredient. And it isn't what most people thought.

Hiya, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. Your videos are the most informative and easy to follow that I have ever found. Usually, the person doing the video, rabbits on for at least 10 mins convincing the viewers of what a great person he is before not telling you anything of any value that can be used by gardeners EVERYWHERE. Thanks so much.

I have to admit. I tried this method of spraying the tomato plants with aspirin as they grow and I could not believe for how long they stayed healthy and kept yielding fruits. One particular cherry tomato plant I left to grow in early Autumn ended up going all through Winter and still gave fruit by early Spring. Granted I live in the Southern hemisphere and we enjoy moderately warm weather all year long with only a few spurts of cold.

Good idea Brian. I've raised tomatoes all my adult life I'm 83 years old now. 3 years ago I contracted arthritis. I don't eat tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, bell pepper, those four plants are toxic to your body they are species of the deadly nightshade (Belladonna). It was difficult to stop eating those plants that are eating most of my life but I did and my arthritis went away. No help from the doctors medications. I doubt if you will post this but if any of your friends have arthritis it will help them by not eating those four plants and there's others.

Willow water is also a great way to root plant cuttings. Willow has a rooting hormone in it that is phenomenal. I always have a jar of water with several small Willow branches in it in my garden. If I have a cutting I want to root I simply stick the cut end into the jar with the willow and (almost always) within a few days it has roots.

I remember winter green from childhood in elementary school with a wooden floor.

I mix the Cacium Nitrate in hot water in a bucket and then mix it with rest in a 55 gallon drum where I have a sump pump and hose for watering. I started Gladiator Hybrid seedlings Feb 1 and now June 14 I have nearly a hundred big tomatoes ripening and more than that coming soon. All in a 4’x12’ side yard!!! I’m sold on Masterblend ❤️ The other new method I’ve been trying the past couple of years because of the heat in the summer is hydroponics.

I crush and boil my eggshells, then uee the water on the tomato plants,and mulch with the eggshells. Sometimes crush them to powder and mix at planting or mix it into top 1" of soil. I recently read crushing and burying calcium antacid tablets gives an almost instant supply of calcium into the plant itself. Steamed bone meal added to hole when planted adds available calcium and phosporous to the roots.

@JuniorFarquar Жыл бұрын

Mix 50:50 with white vinegar, the acetic acid causes the release of Ca++ in solution. Like 2 TBS of pulverized eggshell to 2 TBS white vinegar. It will foam as the CaCO3 neutralizes the acid. Then add to about a gallon of water. Some say let it react for 30 mins, some say 24 hrs. At least 2 hrs I'd say. Test pH to see if too a ridic, if so, add more eggshell. Or go get calcium OTC ...Tums, Os-cal (from oyster shells), etc. I crush Calcium/Mag/Zinc tabs myself w mortar and pestle, of course.

This is the first year I am doing 7 gallon grow bag garden with tomato and green peppers. Listening to your playlist and as a newbie my question is. Would I treat the grow bags as a container and fertilize as such especially with the leaching out of nutrients. I’ll be setting the grow bags on a semi hydroponic pea gravel bed to provide water. Thank you for your help.

Last year I grew gourds-- I started watering them 1-2 times a month with 2 Tablespoons of Epson Salt in a Gallon of water. They did Great! Nice, BIG leaves, & seemed to grow faster. Beautiful blooms & awesome gourds.

Great video! And very timely! I'm wondering if you used baby aspirin, since the video ~4:40 shows 4 aspirin in the hand, while you say 600 mg. I just looked and my Dollar Tree uncoated aspirin are 325 mg, so would 650 mg (2 tablets) be too much?

I’ve also used Tums on water sprayed on my tomatoes if the get blossom end rot and has worked well. 2 dissolved tums in a gal. Of water. Adds calcium.

I used calcium tablets from my pharmacy. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for my tomatoes 🍅

I'm doing the aspirin trick. So far lots of blooms and a few green tomatoes. We'll see how the harvest is this year. The past few years have had mixed results. The peppers advice on making it perennial by potting a mature plant intrigues me. I will try it this fall. I'm in CA too. The Central Valley so it should work well. Great videos.
