Welcome to my little corner of the world: my balcony garden! This channel documents my journey as a balcony gardener. From eradicating pests to growing delicious vegetables, this is a little journal of everything I am learning. I am not an expert, but I hope you enjoy taking this GREEN journey with me!
When to start growing your tomato seeds INDOORS this spring (+when to transplant)
In this video, I dive into the question: When should I start growing my tomato seeds indoors in the spring or winter?

Pronounced DA MAY SHUSH EARTH
They don’t sell it in Florida. 😢
Borax works 1 pound of borax to 400 square feet but if you have poison ivy around the 400 square foot area they will regrow again it spreads like crazy
Hi! Thank you for your informative video. I live in Berlin, Germany. I couldn’t find it here :/
TORDON! It kills the roots!
Apple cider vinager with a little sugar and a drop or two of Dawn dish soap in a shallow dish or 8oz glass (ie. stemless wine glass) works great for catching gnats. Works best with no dirty dishes in the sink. I've been using it for years. It always works. Mason jars are too big to use. Gnats love sweet & sour but they don't like the smell of dishsoap so only use a small amout of Dawn just to break the surface tension. Your video was very helpful. I recently bought the mosquito bits to try on house plant soil and will try your water solution recipe. I recently bought a small mosquito zapper that I can use in the house. It works well on the gnats.
I’ve been doing this for 5 months and it doesn’t work for me. I use that vinegar spray everyday and tried the boing water. My leaves turned a bit brown but that’s it, more green new growth is everywhere! Frustrated! Going to have to use chemicals and I really don’t want to

Reminds me of when my dad would kill mosquitoes or spiders and then proceed to chase me with them 😭

Does this method work for house climbing ivy?
At least you know where he gets it from🤭🥰
😂
What's funny is that as your video started, I already kind of knew why the label was written like that, but now that you explained it so thoroughly, it confirms what I was thinking. Thank you for doing all the legwork for all of us so that we don't have to, lol😂
Sure thing! Glad it was helpful! ☺️
can i soak those bits for longer ? I ask because i placed those bits in water yesterday
Yes totally
I had drain flys living within the walls of my shower door. They don’t just stay in the drain
Ugh that’s the worst
Hey thanks for the information. Fungus gnats are currently infesting MY LIFE and I’m so happy that I found your video. Question: can I also add houseplant fertilizer to my mosquito bits water? I use foliage focus fertilizer. Thanks.
They are the worst! And I don’t see why not… seems like a great idea
Best way is don't get them to begin with. 1. Never bring untreated soil or plants indoors 2. Always water from below.
Yep. 100%
I want it pls i need it i spent the last 2 days wedding my garden and i am not done 😢
Omg, I am not going outside, I am done.
Lovely thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Nicole, thanks for a great video! Question, did you succeed 100%?
I made this video in 2020 so it's obviously been a while. But yes I did. I remember it took a while -- it was not immediate. At least 2 weeks. And I kept up with the BT water for a while after that just for preventative purposes. They never came back.
@@NicolesCorner Good to hear. I just bought some BTI and about to start treating. Thanks again!
Thank you.
Welcome!
It’s pronounced dye-at-toe-may-shush earth. It’s hazardous to inhale and can cause chronic lung issues. Thanks for the interesting vid.
Yeah since making this video 4 years ago, I have learned the proper pronunciation ;)
I wonder if adding calcium, phosphorus, and carbon will get rid of weeds?
Of course organic material can be harmful. Fungus, mold, poison ivy, and etc.
What is even the point of the C shaped thing on the back of it, it doesnt look like it does anything
Leverage, it's the fulcrum
To avoid having to weed a ton, use mulch! I rarely have to weed my garden. Check out the no-till garden method too, it reduces weeds by a lot.
please put that ring back on the wood!
I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by the loose ferrule on the daisy grubber
@@anastasiasmith2434 Ferrule, that's the word I was looking for. It stops the wood splitting and my ocd itches. I couldn't hold that for 10 seconds without trying to fix it.
🤣 ok I’ll fix it
Nice explanation in a few words 👍
Thank u!!
I used just vinegar and water, and it worked great. I also started two sentences without the word “so”.
You did this correctly. You must dig out the roots. It comes back year after year
Diatomaceous is pronounced "die-a-toe-may-shis". Just so you know, my dear.
Thank you for the information
I wish it were this easy for me… It’s shown up in my back yard, but it’s not coming up in an area that’s at all easy to get to. Pretty sure it’s originating from behind a shed, which neighbors have put up fences thisclose to on two sides, and then there are at least two other vines (Grape and English Ivy) blanketing the area as well, so can’t dig up just one thing… it’s basically a vine thicket back there :/
Thank you!!!
Update us when it pops up again. It 100% is coming back. If not in that same spot, look a few feet away.
It will come back NEXT YEAR. You can only kill poison ivy by pulling out the roots.
Put a resolution out there I stead of complains please
Why is everyone so negative and critical. Geeze. Sick.
Yes, i stay away from it
Can i soak poison ivy w boiling water and pull it out?
If youve ever walk into a fly strip youll not go with sticky traps
Straight to the point. Answered questions and gave solutions, good job, Thanks!
Wanted to get rid of it, without using toxic chemicals. Then third degree burns herself with throwing boiling water.
Even organic things can be toxic!
I've used sprectracide weed killer to wipe out poison oak closest to my house (front porch and back patio) plus part of our tree line. It hasn't returned by my house at all but it can take multiple applications to kill it in place. Digging it up in my tree line isn't an option. Too many tree roots to go through. I have found that using a clear chair floor mat over top under full sun also kills everything under it.
Very helpful
Does the topsoil go on top?😂new Gardner
lol good question, you actually mix them
Most consider Top soil to be "basic" soil that's only useable for standard grass lawns. If every soil had a grade based on nutrient density, top soil would be the lowest grade. However, they're taking that "junk soil", adding organic rich compost/manure plus the other amendments in their pinned comment, and then mixing it together to essentially get a homemade "raised bed/garden" grade soil instead. I do something similar but never used full out top soil before. Might give it a shot.
