    That’s an impressive plant for just 3 weeks. My tomatoes never look that good. What am I doing wrong. I get tomatoes to flower and fruit but it’s like these plants are so delicate I have to be on top of it daily. They always have thin stems, one or two fruit sets per flower grouping. I use the same bone meal and fox farm amendments on potting soil, and generally grow from seed. Am slowly getting a feel for patterns that are not good and changing my practice. I saw how much bone meal blood meal worm castings in a 4-gal pot? That you amended and wow I thought too much but obviously I was wrong. I’m going to up my amendments to my 7-gal grow bags and see if that works. I also use cheap calcium magnesium pills from a pharmacy, grind them up to a fine powder and do a teaspoon per pot, it doesn’t kill the plant t but it was an experiment figured the mychorrhizae will turn the elements into what the roots can absorb. Never used the salt, but will also give it a try. BTW, I am practicing a cross between the “back to Eden” and permaculture concepts in a small quarter acre yard. The hardest part literally is because I live on Guam, the soil is mainly 8-12 inches on top of coral. So forced to use raised beds for most garden veggies. The local varieties of eggplant, pineapple, pole beans, wing beans, papaya, avocado, and a whole assortment of the more exotic fruit grow well, but veggies like tomato, romaine, carrots, kale, broccolini, pepper, zucchini, cucumber, sweet onions, etc really do better in raised beds, grow bags. However I’m experimenting with hanging pots for tomatoes which remains to be seen how well it works here.

    Changes I'd make.... Screening or a cap over the intake, and a piece of screen over the overflow to keep bugs out. I'd also treat it more like an Earthbox, in that I'd mound the soil above the bucket's rim and cover the soil with a plastic sheet with X cut for the plant to stick through. This keeps weeds from growing, keeps rain from flooding and overflowing your fertilizers away through the overflow hole, and the cover also keeps moisture inside your bucket instead of letting it evaporate out the top.

    @irmasmith9066 3 місяці тому

    I love the easy concept. Explanation was excellent. Question: should there be a hole in top of support bowl or support bowl with open side up so the rag makes contact in water by sitting on bottom of bowl to wick up water? Otherwise it seems like rag will be diverted from being in contact with bottom of main bucket.

    Hello from the UK. Wow a great experiment and most noticeable in the results! I have to ask generally, isn't your soil in Hawaii, being volcanic rich?

  • @paulbraga4460
    @paulbraga4460 5 місяців тому

    good experiment. one thing - that heavy mulch of wood chips, those are wood chips, right? they surely cause competition for your plants. were it more decomposed, not much of a problem. the microbes will attempt to decompose these and microbes need nitrogen to do attack the carbon. equation is simple, if there is too much nitrogen, microbes will be hungry for carbon. if there is too much carbon, microbes will need nitrogen - competing with the plants. this is the carbon to nitrogen ratio - ideally no more than 25 carbon to 1 nitrogen (imagine composting - too much carbon like wood shavings or chips means a long time to decompose if you don't add more greens which gives you the nitrogen)...blessings

    Improvement: for plants that need stakes, cages to support plant (tomatoes) drill hole for fill pipe in center of lid. Then run fill pipe wild too any length you need then use fill pipe to attach plant to pipe. This will work with any wicking bucket design. I glue a pipe fitting to bottom of bucket for extra support. If you use her design you can drill a hole in bottom of support container and run pipe thru it Don't glue pipe to fitting so you can remove pipe to change dirt. Dooesn't matter where wick hole is. I use a metal garden stake instead of plastic pipe, especially with indeterminate tomatoes. I think the "stake" is 1/2" by 8 or ten feet long. You can use a pipe cutter ($3- 5.00) or saw like she has or hacksaw. Well worth a little extra time! If your fill pipe is long, you can use a T fitting and elbow to create a fill point any where along fill point

    I don't think the experiment is fare enough. Even If you keep the same fertilizer and environment for the plants it varies. So to be fare enough you should have at least 3 plants per category and include the control with no amendments. But it was fun to watch i appreciate your time and efforts. Cheers!

    High nitrogen will benefit the plant, but nitrogen doesn't translate to more fruit and in fact will limit the number of harvestable vegetables.

    great video. I am having a Hawaiian hideway nook in the front of my cottage garden in the Uk and I am looking for traditional flowers and vegetables and Hawaiin gardens of every day people. It was interesting to know that you have a lot of small gardens and have a lot of pot plants, only the front bit of ny house gets the sun and i want it to be a pot plant garden. very nice to see your small garden. there are certain plants I would struggle to grow here, but we can do tomatoes and cabbages, so that is easy and reflects an every day garden that the Hawaiians actually use rather than these fantastic botantical gardens. I would like to use my front garden as an educational garden
