    Very informative! This kind of collapse right here is exactly why I decided to go with a separate, buried "cistern chamber" (basically, a perforated, upside down container with a filler pipe) on my wicking tub, instead of an Earthbox-style false bottom like that. Water is dense and even the lightest, fluffiest potting mix can get VERY heavy when saturated with it. Even with the added screws on the later versions, that flimsy plastic could still collapse. I'm surprised this one lasted 4 years before it failed.

    I help kill off soil gnats, fungus and weed seed by putting the moist planting mix in 1-gallon zip-lock brand FREEZER bags, leave a corner open . Lay bag flat and Microwave it 2 minutes, flip over, microwave another 2 minutes (should be steamy and warm now), flip and mwave 1-min, flip and mwave another 1minute, seal the zip,ock. As the steam collapses, the bag will appear to be 'vacuum packed', this way you can tell if it is still sanitized or not after storage.

    meadow creature makes the deepest broad forks14- and 16" deep on the market . a limiting factor fro a 64 year old is shoulder integrity. this new hack which allows deeper broad forking with no shoulder strain : I took a roll of 2" nylon mesh (quite light weight) I cut off approximately 10 feet and tied the ends to the tips of the handles (double half hitch) then sunk the 14" fork as deep into the compacted earh as it would go (this took about 1 minute of intensive rocking as it was so hard . Then I walked back and put the 2" webbing behind my butt then gently threw my butt down and back and the handle effortlessly came back from 90 to about 70 degrees from there gripped the handles and I I effortlessly brought them back to 45 degrees bringing in a satisfying chuck of ground (busting te bard pan)BTW I keep the nylon webbing in place with rubber bands .

    Double cupping is a waste of time. I use exactly same cups but never double cup them. Place you cupped seedlings in a tray, bottom water them via the tray and that's it.

    • @stout8529
      @stout8529 Місяць тому

      Ofc it’s a waste of time. Just keep the cups in a tray and water them from bottom. Also get clear cups so you can inspect the roots and know when it’s time to top up.

  • @brianwnc8168
    @brianwnc8168 Місяць тому

    It is possible that the yield was reduced because the total access to nutrients via volume of soil is lower when in a contained space. I'm curious if anyone knows how far deep and wide that Roots will spread when potatoes are grown in soil good for potatoes but in a traditional Garden row or bed. If potatoes have any kind of fungal relationship with their roots, then potatoes in a traditional garden bed might be able to draw nutrients from much further away than the plant via the way that symbiotic fungus can bring nutrients to the plant. I'm not sure if this happens with certain garden plants but it certainly happens all over the place in a natural ecosystem

      You can definitely do that. I like to have the air space at the bottom for the cup to drain into so you never need to worry about the roots sitting in water.

    What a waste of time and materials. People always trying to reinvent the wheel and here is an example. Double cupping is not neccessary. Even repotting is not needed. Fill whatever pot you want to use till outdoor transplant with 2/3 organic potting mix on bottom and 1/3 seed starting mix on top. Water seed starting mix. Put pots in tray, fill tray with water and they absorb. Plant grows and roots down into the potting soil and continues growing without the need of fertilizing or repotting. This is how I do it and It requires zero repotting or filling wasted cups, etc. Keep it simple people.

    I always start by using Crystal soil in a 5 gallon bucket on top of a crystal soil and water or miracle grow instead of water. I add the. Peat Moss. let it sit for 24 hours checking ul times a day to see if you need to add more water as the crystal soil can suck up quite a bit and it takes such a long time for the peat to hydrate if you’re planning on planting a lot do a 5 gallon bucket with the crystal soil and a 5 gallon bucket with the peat.

      The double cupping should work with most any vegetable that you can start indoors. However with most plants, you want to fill the cup with soil before you plant. Unlike tomatoes, most plants don’t like their stems to be buried.

    Not sure I see the advantage to double cupping vs just setting in a tray??? Also, I like the idea of letting them grow into the cup height but how to you provide artificial light when they are 1/2 way down the cup? More than one way to do things,,,,just wondering what your reasoning is

    • @shortseasongarden
      @shortseasongarden 2 місяці тому

      Many people have rightfully pointed out that double cupping is more tedious when it comes to watering. The theory is that the air space in the bottom cup allows the excess water to drain better. This year, I am planning an experiment with some of my solo cups in trays and some in double cups to see if there is any significant difference. I am using a clear cup on the bottom so I can easily tell when it is empty. I even put some wicking fabric through one of the drain holes down into the bottom cup. I'm being told by those who have double-cupped for years that it makes a big difference. We shall see... As far as light goes, I put the lights right down to the top of the cups and the plants seemed to thrive.

    Having soil sitting in water 24/7 doesn’t cause root rot? How is having two wicking tubes filled with soil any different than having all of the soil down in the entire water chamber?

    • @shortseasongarden
      @shortseasongarden 2 місяці тому

      I wondered the same thing when the concept was introduced to me but it seems to work. Having the air space between the water reservoir and the main soil compartment is important. Otherwise, you are correct, the roots would definitely rot.

    • @shortseasongarden

      Egg cartons would be great for starting seedlings but I think the plants would need potted up before they would be large enough for planting in the ground.

  • @thomassinclair731
    @thomassinclair731 2 місяці тому

    That bottom cup is not necessary, if you put all the seeded cups in trays for bottom watering. I also plant into a big dixi-cup with 1.5" fertilized starter soil and allow the tomato plants to get as leggy as they please, then a couple weeks before I am ready to plant, I just fill the cup to the top with the fertilized soil. Soon the spindly stem sprouts roots and fills the upper 3/4 of the cup. They transplant into the garden very well and grow quickly. If you leave some leggy plants without topping up, they stay "on hold" for several more weeks as reserves, in case you decide to plant more, which I always do, or if a gopher eats some of your earlier plants. Sounds like "plant abuse," I know!
