      are mini cabbages an actual type or do you just grow regular ones and pick them early?

    • @Darkfalz79
      @Darkfalz79 8 років тому +2

      Wisconsinhomestead They are a type, only get smaller sized heads.

    • @catzkeet4860
      @catzkeet4860 7 років тому +2

      There are several smaller varieties that are great for pots. They naturally produce smaller heads but that's great for someone like me who lives alone cos I hesitate to buy whole "standard" cabbage heads as it's just hard for me to use it up.

    During the current coronavirus lockdown, I am looking to do indoor gardening for the first time ever. I really appreciate your honesty in this video in fact I subscribed and liked the vid. One thing I learned here is that cabbage is not something that I need to bother with at this time with my circumstances. Too demanding for now. Maybe later. Thanks buddy!

    I’m new at bucket planting for all vegetables like cabbage, carrots , turnips, and potatoes.
    Can you mix 1/3 topsoil 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 cow manure for when you transplant your seedlings to buckets : but still add fertilizer during the growing season
    Thanks
    You got great videos

    Yes, another way I grow cabbage successfully is by planting them in containers. It works and solves the lack of space problem:-)

    Hey MIgardener, I just wanted to ask for your advice on my soil ratio for my Serrano pepper plant. I'm growing it indoors from a seed and I picked up some stuff to help it out. Right now I'm planning on using a mixture of regular potting mix, some Ecoscraps vegetable fertilizer, a store bought bag of compost, and some sand. How much would you use, if any, of each to give the plant it's biggest chance of survival?

  • @desmondou

    That's what happened with my cabbage the one year I planted, not enough sun in my garden area. I had the cabbage planted in the wrong spot. Ah well, no garden plot in this year, I'll have to wait until we move to the family farm to plant again, anything I grow now is all in pots and I'm not doing cabbage in a pot. LoL

    Hi Luke, really enjoy watching your videos, they are so informative. Just a quick question regarding the use of Calcium in growing cabbages. I read its very important to provide extra to avoid clubroot. Any thoughts on this?

    • @MIgardener
      @MIgardener  8 років тому

      Somewhat true, but what is universally accepted is having a well draining mix that is packed around the roots. That is the best way to reduce the risk of clubroot.

    What do you do with the soil in the containers after your last harvest of the plants? I've heard not to reuse it. Can you just amend it and reuse it?

    • @macaodha5288
      @macaodha5288 4 роки тому +7

      dirt is dirt. mother nature doesn't care if you reuse dirt. amend it and plant again. if you have problems with pests or unwanted mold. simply bake the dirt in your oven at about 200 degrees F for a few mins. my mother did this all the time for her house plants to kill gnat eggs. hope that helps, 3 years late🤣
