You sir, are a legend. I love how you don't waste time talking about random nonsense. Your videos are straight to the point, and highly informative. Happy gardening
Very informative video. Thank you for making all these videos. They have helped me a lot as I started my container garden this year. Your channel is an inspiration and a wonderful tool to new gardeners. God bless you
Marble grains added to soil is also a great long term source of calcium for tomatoes. It breaks down very well in slightly acidic soil, doesn’t change ph, is N free, releases co2 which reacts with iron and produces iron bicarbonate, a digestible form of Fe, it also releases Ca locally around grains so it doesn’t react with all phosphorus in soil and doesn’t cause phosphorus deficiency. It is possible to boost release of calcium by watering with water and (a bit!) vinegar mix. Cheers ✌️
Concise yet full of content. Subscribed immediately. With the Gypsum towards the end the ingredients add up to more than 100%. How do you actually interpret those numbers? Its important to me as I need to know how much of a desired nutrient Im buying and more importantly how to compare across different manufacturers tables so I do not end up with unintended toxic levels of another nutrient?
I have been using egg shells. We consume lot of eggs, we save the shell.. let them dry and grind them to power in a mixer and sprinkle a handful once in 2 months or so.
You can toast egg shells and add them to an organic vinegar, not malt, something like Brown rice or white wine, apple all work well. Toast the egg shells until light brown, add these to a Mason jar and pour over the vinegar. The solution will begin to fizz as the acid in the vinegar begins to etch the Calcium from the shells. Once it has stopped fizzing the solution is ready to use as a water soluble CaO. Mix with water and foliar feed every 8-10 days esp in the summer where there is little to no rain. You can also make a sulpho-calcium brew which is very effective on tomatoes or vines. 100L water 20kg powered sulphur Lime or Slaked/ Quicklime 10kg Mix the sulphur with water in a vessel 20L water add the sulphur stir with wooden stick. In another vessel mix the lime with the remaining 80L water and stir until well mixed. Add the sulphur mix to the lime, never the other way around. Stir well and use immediately for best effect. You can further modify this blend with Copper, Zinc and Magnesium Sulphate as well as Borax to produce a very effective fungicide
Hi there can you please let me know what amount of seaweed to be used in 1 gallon of water and i m unable to find the liquid form i have small granular form your reply will be highly appreciated
I watered my tomatoes with calcium nitrate per your instructions, appears to have burned a few blossoms. Can I add it directly to the buckets instead of spraying the foliage?
It would be better to dissolve it and apply it like he showed. There's also a three part fertilizer called MasterBlend where calcium nitrate is one of the parts.
We had our soil tested (lawn) and our calcium was off the charts high. It was listed at the high end off "Excessive" on the graph and as 4616 lbs/acre in the description. Is there anything (organic) we can do to offset the high calcium or is it even necessary? I guess I should plant some tomatoes and peppers. :-)
I just collect ALL my egg shells grind them in the blender with some water and spread it all around the garden. I will also drop a little extra in the holes of any tomato or pepper plants while planting. It all adds up over time.
The products you've shown are not sold in my country.....I've noticed some leaves on a tomato plants curled upwards and a stem of leaves almost at the top and bottom started to get brown....I taught the curling is from too much water because it the rainy season here..I am growing organic there is only a liquid organic fertilizer sold at the store and it's very expensive for a small bottle...I used the chalk way before the curling started....what can I used from my kitchen to get calcium to the plants...thank you
I'm using now for the first time Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) on pepper plant because the leaves are small and crickled. 1/2 tease spoon for every 2000 mL ,I'm doing it right ?
But does calcium salts end up with a non reactive bi product into soil? Which can not be reversed and hence damage ths soil permanently? Please explain.
Well, personally i simply apply rabbit urine. It's rich in nitrogen and calcium. So powerful is rabbit urine that you need to dilute with water using a ratio of 1:5, otherwise you will scotch the plants. Rabbit urine is also good because its a natural way of fertilizing your plants, an excellent option for organic farming enthusiasts. As it is 100% natural, there is no waiting people from day of application to first harvest date - you can even harvest soon after applying it. Another advantage of rabbit urine is that it also works as an insecticide. The strong smell that it produces while applying it and its sour and burning sensation kills garden pests such as aphids.
How frequently do we need to use gypsum in pots and its quantity for 10 or 12 inch pots. If using by mixing in water, how much qty should be mixed in 5 litre water and what would be the frequency to use in liquid form

Yes eggshells are good and release calcium over time. It takes time to breakdown so keep adding it to your soil!
I was just getting ready to ask about this! Thanks!

Hi Sir please guide how to use Calcium hydroxide as fertilizer with safe use
Thank you! Great info! May I know if eggshells and bonemeal or crab shells can be used and how to apply, please?

Why not use your egg shels for Calcium? I grind them and mix it with my soil far before I plant my plant so it can be assorbed by the soil before I plant my plant. This way I reduce my garbadge and give back to my soil...
Yes I do that for my compost bin. The eggshells are slow release and can take a while to release nutrients...so yes keep building your soil!
@@CaliforniaGardening I have been told to never put egg shels in my compost because it greatly reduceses the compost speed, thats why I add it straight to my soil. So it can slowly degrade there... I advise anyone, never put egg shels in your compost!!!
