Hello mate. So, they're tricky blighters caterpillars but I do know that neem oil is effective against them as well. The neem will stay active for about 48 hrs so not that different from BT. I did a video on the mix that we use, it's perhaps a little overkill for this- just use neem oil with an insecticidal soap: ua-cam.com/video/L5PwnatHK6Q/v-deo.html Or there are the natural predators like parasitic wasps that you can buy and then let loose on your plants, they will kill the caterpillars and aren't invasive. The company we have in the UK is dragonfli.co.uk/collections/caterpillars?srsltid=AfmBOori5KH-VsXOaC3BbTXDJLf6C6WXUSDrJWyy8Zc_xLgaNqEdBiyT Worldwide (I think) Koppert biological controls are the biggest and do the same range. Good luck

I answered in the other post. You're right though, trying to cover completely with a netting is also going to go some way to stopping them actually starting in the first place. I've been to plenty of big commercial grows and they do this on everything.

They're the easiest wertical farming system there is to run- low cost to buy (compared to other vertical systems) low cost to run, either indoors or outdoors.

@@far2ezee i know right? Im just figuring out if our local systems has that auto feeding feature!

@@KristoffLam Hi Kristof, the auto dosing system uses an offgrid pressure based system, it automates the whole thing. It comes with the system when purchased. Have a look at this we did- shows the system and how it works 👍studio.ua-cam.com/users/video9bPvHfIh-Kw/edit

Trust me, my hair is going whiter by the day. Nothing against hair colour- I was simply trying to explain that there are other things that Hydrogen Peroxide is used for than what most people know it for- dying your hair.

Yes you could, try and meet it in the middle at 5.7 and both will be fine

Hi , a combination between Rye Grain and soya husk for the initial bags, Beech sawdust for the main substrate bags.

In the description of the video he mentioned that if you can only get the 3% then increase volume, the ratio though for the volume increase isn't mentioned😅

Hi Chetan- IT's difficult, to say for certain that this is going to work for all insects. I would think though- it's going to be a pretty good cure for most types. Yes wash plants after use. The neem oil needs to be washed of and do not eat the plants for about 2 days afterwards- the active compound when mixed with water will start to break down after 8 hours so mix what you need and use immediately. Weekly spraying is good- not more often than that. Preventative...... I would go with using it if you have a problem. Just keep looking at your plants regularly. It's all about timing, the quicker you find the problem and then do something about it, will be your biggest cure.

Hi there- we sell and install tower farms like the one you see. Where are you based?

@@myseedleaves south florida

we want them for at home just growing our own produce kind of thing. weve been looking into it for a little while but are lost as to how to start and where to get everything, but if u have somehwere we can buy it from that would be amazing

Thanks for that, I'll have a look into it

humidifier, u can use a timer to have it not use as much energy, 30 secs on, a minute off, medium strength, hope this helps

You don't want direct contact with the fungi just humidity

I like the baking soda angle, interesting

Can you tell me the ratio? I need to put soon not sure what’s in my raised bed but look like infested with tiny reddish bugs.

@@Becoming1 can you take a picture and upload it- difficult to say without knowing what they are. Ratio is in video description

@@Becoming1 I fill a squirt bottle with warm water, a couple drops of dish detergent, a couple drops of neem, a couple drops of vegi oil, a tsp of baking soda, and the rest with some rubbing alcohol if it's on hand. Just squirt everything down. I do it in the evening. They say not to when the sun is shining. Something about the magnification of the water on the plants might be too intense. So evening is when I use it. Hope this helps. ♥️

The sodium metal in baking soda is a toxic alkali. Common symptoms of foliar spray sodium toxicity are leaf burn, scorching, and dead tissue along the outer edges of the leaves.

Hey! So I work with these guys: www.sowseeds.co.uk/products/pea-meteor-vegetable-seeds . At the same time I've also got 3 bee hives quite close to the towers so perhaps its an issue with not enough pollinators?

I'm working to get bee hives in next spring. I think maybe the variety I'm growing is just too vining so they get so massive. Yours are more bushy. I'll do some research and try another variety. Thanks!@@myseedleaves

@@theaeroponictowerchannel no worries- you'll know as well as I do, the dwarf varieties of most plants are the best on a tower. I got a ton of cherry toms last year and have white aubergines on my indoor farm, they're awesome. I've been very slack on this channel in the last 4 months but I'll try and put a reel up of them, they look awesome.

Yes! I just did a reel on the small tomato varieties I love for the tower. I grew Patio Baby variety aubergines last summer and they put off around 50 small purple fruits each plant. So incredible! Love the towers. Love your channel! @@myseedleaves

They don't come as seedlings, as such you have to grow a substrate block first, which will then fruit. We will be selling these on our new platform www.myseedium.com in about 3 months 👍

Sure. Winds- the towers have an 80 litre bowser of water which holds the same as 80kg of weight. As long as it is kept full It is very rare that the tower falls, I've only seen it once and that was on a Tomato tower with a cage and alot of plants and I think the tower was half full. Temperature- outside, it's pretty much the same as growing in soil in the country that you are in, it's just much more plants in the area and much easier to do. If you put in a polytunnel or greenhouse that's extending the season out by about 2 months. Rain- no problem, the watering system will provide about 25 litres a week, if it rains and the towers are pretty much full anyway, it won't really effect it. Hot weather- depends on the plant types you are growing, some plants are good with heat, some like it cooler. Where are you based?

@@myseedleaves I live in Athens and I have 3 towers just for a test (outdoors). I am thinking of starting an outdoor farm with about 30 towers. So I am trying to understand if I can have crops for 12 months and of course all the troubleshooting. Here in Greece, we have temperatures from 0-42 Celsius, strong winds ect

@@yannis.panagiotopoulos So I've been doing some work with someone on a potential farm in Cyprus which is relatively similar in terms of the climate I think. It's all about plant selection, using natural shading on certain plant types etc. The winter becomes all about selecting the right plant types but even then, plants slow down with the lack of light and heat- there is nothing you can easily do about this other than bring the farm indoors. If you want to discuss more- william@seedleaves.com

Absolutely would work- just be mindfull that Dehydrating take alot of the volume out of mushrooms so I'd make the slices a little larger. Otherwise, if you were going to fry the fungi, you could marinade in oil and herbs- also great.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out and sharing your situation. Dealing with ants in tropical fruit trees like Mamey sapote can indeed be challenging. It’s great that you’ve already tried diatomaceous earth. Since you’re still seeing ants, consider checking for other pests like scale insects or mealybugs, which can attract ants due to the honeydew they produce. Overwatering could contribute to the problem, especially if you’re noticing gnats, which often thrive in moist soil. To address this, ensure proper drainage and allow the soil to dry out a bit between waterings. Additionally, using ant baits around the tree may help control the ant population. Keep monitoring the tree’s health and consider consulting a local horticulturist for a more precise diagnosis. Best of luck with your Mamey sapote tree!” This response addresses the specific issues raised, offers practical solutions, and encourages further action if needed.

@@far2ezee thank u so much ! I’ll keep an eye on it

Sounds like thrips or soil aphids. Send a picture

So you can't actually ingest LM or other medicinal types without 'cooking' them.their mass is made of chitin which can cause gastric upset. Most of the powdered varieties have been bought up to a specific temperature to break down the chitin anyway. Which would have leached out some of the nutrients. If you cook the lM into a broth or chowder, all the nutrients will be preserved as you're using the liquid as well.

They do, in all honesty getting wild is a luxury anyway, it's not available in the UK.

Quite right. It's illegal to collect in the UK.

Thanks very much, appreciated

Thanks very much for your kind words Joan, I tried to make it a little different :)

Sorry mate, Airfiler? as in a valve to let it breath?

super lucky with that Douglas- enjoy
