Indeterminate and Determinate Tomatoes and Why You Should Mulch
I like you Luke!
Hey Luke, good luck mate, hope it works out!!
Is the texture of these like a mushy fig? Or do they still hold up similar to a fig?
It is kinda soft like a fig but much denser
Just found your channel and subscribed! Hello from The Hunter Valley in NSW 😊
Love it! I too have started my pineapples in water. I currently have 3 different varieties growing here in Melbourne also.
i've seen this glass before!
if i were a pineapple i would want to be planted in this garden
Fabulous.
Can you give us a variety list for colder temperate climates like yours
Reiterating @bpara9999 , would I be able to purchase banana pups from you ? How to go about it ?

do you notice that the plants need more or possibly less water with this much mulch? Also, how long have you let the mulch break down before planting directly in it? I'd imagine you couldn't plant directly in a fresh pile of 1.5m of mulch until it would begin breaking down for some time. Very interested in your thoughts. Thanks
So I put 1.5m after about 6 months it broke down to about 300 mm. 200 mm was black humus worm castings and the top 100 mm was more thicker bigger pieces that take longer to breakdown. Then I put another load on top and waited another 6 months. It breaks down quickly first up because the soil organisms are hungry because most soil doesn't have any carbon for them to munch on. One thing I've noticed with the watering, I don't water at all and you know how with your plants when they fruit if you don't water them and then you water them heaps they split well you don't have any of that because there's constant moisture not too much, not too little.
@@LukesEcoGardenInsights Thank you so much for your response!!!!
No worries mate, thanks for watching!
Tree-mendos.
Wow! I.5m of mulch! I have a foot (0.3m) of mulch and I thought I was doing great! :-)
If you’re out in the garden, you are doing great
G'day Luke, I just found your channel, I've really been enjoying your vids and I never knew anything about Pistachio until now so thanks for that. I'm near Frankston area, cheers 👍
Welcome aboard mate. Good to hear you’re enjoying our vids!
This is absolutely incredible. 👏
I'm not gay I just like men.

When is going to rain? TELL US!
Good to find another channel of someone growing Tropicals in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. There’s a lot more of us growing Tropicals in Melbourne than known. I’m in the outer east of Melbourne growing Tropicals and it’s a bloody good hobby to have its a challenge but that’s the fun of it. What can grow in Melbourne ? Fruitful Trees is a good Channel but they are not in Melbourne. Real Life Fruitopia is a good Melbourne Channel of Tropicals and many more Melbourne Channels starting up of Tropical 🌴 Fruit growing. Good to find your Channel 👍
Thanks mate

About 3 times per week in the summer and none in winter because it will be dead

What does the brick wall do?
It absorbs heat during the day and radiates that warmth during the night, to simulate more of a tropical climate. You can watch my longer video on how I grow tropical fruit in a temperate zone: ua-cam.com/video/jGxzBuK-Nmw/v-deo.htmlsi=-Br4KxG9kN2Rqk1k
