I have read that egg shells can take years to break down in the soil to become available for plants to take up. Baking them dry and using a blender creates a huge surface area, which speeds decomposition. I use a little white vinegar to turn the crushed and cooked eggshells into calcium acetate, which is water soluble. My romas are getting some BER currently, and I think you let me know what is causing it. Temp and humidity race to see who gets to 100 first where I am at. I may cut back the growing ends and see if that cuts down on losses to BER.

That was super great info, thank you so much. God bless

The big box of jet line was super cool reminded me of my days as an electrician

If you want big tomatoes then take the suckers off. If you want a lot of tomatoes then leave them on.

Oh my goodness! I cd never afford all of the ingredients that you are suggesting. 😣

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork I apologize if this was covered, but when and how do you fertilize your starts? I typically start when the true leaves come up, and I've used Agro Thrive Standard 3-3-2, but my shop fills up with flies and it forms a sludge on the bottom tray. Any advice would be very helpful, thanks.

Where can I order the 15 mil drip mil tape?

Man of God ..where do you get your seedlings from?.

Amen. Glory Hallelujah

How do the plants get pollinated?

What is a sucker and why do you want to remove them?

oh my gosh so glad i found you. have already unsubscribed all my other garden sites. soon as you have your supplements for sale i will be getting some . and for sure seeds also. great site .

Why was that one with the mega blossom something you wouldn’t keep?

Do you have to get rid of the entire plant if the plant gets BER? What about watermelons? You talked about prevention. What do you do if you get BER? Thank you for your expertise.

Wow,I'm glad I found this channel. From Africa doing multistorey gardening, organic farming and general countryside videos,this channel is a great inspiration.

Which ( irrigation) water tape do you use? Which main hose do you connect them to?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Is VAM better than MYKOS? I ask because MYKOS is available locally an dis cheaper. Thanks.

Thats an amazing garden, absolutely beutiful and well kept. How does he keep the weeds out? Does he just stay on top of hoeing?

Enjoyed seeing your wife make bread . Yes please more food videos . We like the garden videos also .

First year planting lots of tomatoes. I thought I was keeping up cutting the suckers. They are everywhere and now I have a wild tomato patch.

Do you have a video of how you keep weeds out of the garden?

So nice to have a little cow.

A 80year looking 20years. Power of gardening right there

For those of us that are limited to grow bags, is there some suggestions on how to handle this situation? I generally use 15 gallon grow bags with square cages that are 4/5 ft high and 15 inches square. I generally don't do too much sucker removal but not capable of having the trellis system that you have in your videos.

So for the double leader. If I understand correctly you allow one sucker to grow as well as the main stem?

Thats something i find on the first several fruits then it stops happening.

I use eggshells when I have that problem, I just save up my eggshells good big bowl full get out the blender and turn them to dust works fantastic.😎🙏🇺🇸👍

Vision corn are the best can't get seed anymore

QUESTION: I'm a brand new gardener. Can I put dead squash & cucumber leaves that have leaf miner trails on them in my compost pile. I know some things that have disease shouldn't be put in the pile but I wasn't sure about these... Thanks!!

Outstanding videos, gentlemen! Luke, I'm curious how many varieties your dad grows? What are his favorites to grow for production in your area?

Just discovered your channel here. Thank you for the outstanding videos! This looks like a highly potent mix! Can't wait to try it. Any idea on the total cost for this amazing growing mix?

Does this work for peppers too?

Your garden is amazing! This is a garden of my dreams

This is my third year of gardening and im still learning, i live in Belgium, we had horrible spring with 2 months of constant rain and very low temperatures, add on top of it slug invasion, i felt i was going to lose my crops. But watching channels like yours i managed to save everything .Your garden is amazing, i love your channel and i'm obsessed with your tomato trellis, i will try and make one just like yours next year. Thank you for all the tips and advice you've given us,wish you all the best! Greeting from the cold and humid Belgium.

So many expert growers, on youtube! What did we do before the clips? As a tomato plant grows the new growth is soft and can be gently wound around the string as it grows. I do not recommend clips in windy areas they cause damage to the stems which causes disease entry points. I love the clips but in windy areas they are not ideal.

I like it! Thank you!

I love the pepper seed idea!

Do you have cucumber beetles in Washington state?

I have another question: suppose you are growing a variety that can get 1lb +, or even 2lb + but you get a fruit that weighs say 10-12 oz. Is it not a good idea to save seed from a runted fruit? Can 'runt' genes carry, even if its weather stress that causes the runts?

Frankly I don't prune suckers unless I want to control the size of the plant. I have a question: is good or bad to prune ALL the suckers when trying for a monster fruit? I pruned a lot on my Westerlund to get the 2lb fruit but I don't think I got em all. 🤔

My tomato plants are showing leaf curl . The leafs are in good condition otherwise. The leaves are even curled in the morning after a rain. (Less but still apparent) . I have drip irrigation so im somewhat confident its not related to water. I made new raised beds for them this year and im thinking i may have made a mistake. The beds are only 2' wide and are 16" tall, I used barn metal for the sides. Im thinking my soil may be too hot. (82° at 12" deep). Could that be my issue.

very good to know. thankyou

New subscriber here. So tired of wasting time on myths. Need proven methods. Also adding scripture at the end hooked me. 😅

👏👏👏👏👏 ❤🕊️

Thank you, both!

Great video.

I just started using kelp this year and so far I like the results!

I’m really enjoying your channel. Thank you!

I usually use old milk that expires and it correct the problem
