Thanks for this informative and interesting video!! Found your videos only recently but I’m already loving your channel, educational interesting and relaxing to listen to you speak with such quiet passion, keep up the great work mate 😁
Great video. I needed my gardening fix today. Thanks!! Although not a gardening comment, I just wanna say you did a great job with the edit. Beautiful use of the match cut on the baking soda label! 👌👌
Guilty of lack of knowledge. Momma had a 40 hour factory job. But still a great Momma. Beginning to fill spring is closer. Thanks for teaching me and others Sir
Thank you for this video. I live in the tropics and I'm having troible with a couple types of pests. I shall try the pest control method on 1 plant and see if it helps. Thanks 👍
Baking soda (sodium bicarnonate) is sodium-based and not a desireable chemical if used regularly in a garden. Potassium bicarbonate works as well, or better, and is a much-more plant-friendly chemical. Yes, not able to buy in a grocery store, but Amazon sells it pretty cheap.
As I was watching your video about baking soda, I was cleaning the soap scum off my glass shower door with baking soda. Works pretty well, just need a little elbow grease lol. Great and educational video again, thanks 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Thank u Sir , Im in SA I learn a lot from yr video, today Ive buy Bicabonate Soda , Im going to do what Ive learn , I remember my late mom use to plant beautiful flowers , and spray them , while she was in the kitchen , says " Ek sal gooi die koek soda op my bloeme , and as a child didnt understand 😂😅😂
I wish the Western world would stop taking everything for granted that's it baking soda is amazing there's thousands of ways to use it not just only in the garden
I only use baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol for cleaning most things indoors! There's no real need to use anything else for general household cleaning! Anyone with breathing issues should seriously think about what is going into the air around them!
Thank You Very Much For Your Highly Informative And Very Helpful Video, The Best Bit Is The Bite size Chemistry Soil Test . May The Lord Jesus Christ Bless You, AMEN.
Your other video stated the measurements were 1 liter water, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp soap and 2 tsp of veggie oil. So, is it teaspoons or tablespoons?
thanks..... ive got a few garden problems that might benefit from the baking soda. ... oh youve got a really nice work area btw. OH im infested with asian jumping worms i wonder if i should use the baking soda on them. maybe its in the video i havent finished watching yet .
* * * Wondering how to get the baking soda out of my soil now. I over did it removing an ant infestation and now, a year later, still can't grow anything in that bed. I figured it would fade away, not realizing it is leaving salt behind. ** ANY IDEA'S Would Be Appreciated
I was using some neem oil last year however my fear was that the pollinators would not pollinate the plants. Will neem oil or the baking soda spray affect my butterflies?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I sprayed in the evening when most pollinators are asleep and try not to spray the flowers. I used it on the summer squash plant leaves but they still died
Neem and aquatic life do not mix well; avoid using around ponds, lakes, streams, etc. As far as pollinators, it will not harm them when used properly. I suggest using a wetting agent (surfactant), such as Dr. Bronner's organic soap (castile soap), or a more expensive Quillaja Saponaria extract to "bind", or otherwise reduce surface tension, which will prevent the bugs from "treading water." I guess baking soda works similarly to kill pests, but I do not have any experience using it.
Good stuff, for you livestock folks, you know how cows and sheep, etc. won't eat the big green clumps left in the pasture because they peed there, that's why they are so green, spray with baking soda water , they'll eat it down
Hi, on you previous video of Baking soda you give the same quantities but you say teaspoons on this video the measurement are in tablespoons, which video is correct? Please let me know which measurements are correct.
One dilute liquid feed about 3 weeks after germination when they start getting sets of true leaves is usually enough. Balanced feed, don't just load up on nitrogen.
I mixed vinegar soap baking soda and water, powdery mildew disappeared, I had it all over my Okra leaves, every plant had it, becareful how you mix it, there's a reaction.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Here's how did it the 2nd time. Half gallon water than add 1/2 cup white vinegar than a tablespoon of organic soap than stir and 2 tables of baking soda.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks 😊 uumm anyway I can send u picture of garden, I think I had over done the planting. Lol. Give some suggestions please. Love ❤️ Chicago Brother.
Please, practice some patience and politeness. Why the rush? If you don't wanna spend the time, that's up to you. Just move on! You could add a 'please' to your question... Your comment reminds 'me' about the instant gratification attitude, more common nowadays. Especially in spoiled brats, who were never told 'no' and always get their way. 'We' don't need rudeness.

@@LizzyJacobs-y8c very cool, houseplant and flower growers used to use it all the time, I remember my parents using it now that you mention it!
for the soap is blue dawn a soap that i can use for this or should i get something else?
I wish the Western world would stop taking everything for granted that's it baking soda is amazing there's thousands of ways to use it not just only in the garden
Literally thousands. And its so inexpensive!

No shit Sherlock. He’s only showing these particular uses. Not the other 993 uses.
How do you know that the 100s of millions in the western world that aren’t on social media, don’t use it for everything?
I wish the eastern world would stop telling the fre
❤ thanks lots but where do we get unscented soap?
I have no idea!!!! Please advice❤

@@violettaosagie9471 thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Can I use the spray on my strawberries that have brown spots on the leaves. Thanks jim80
Yes, but always spray test leaves first
I don't have unscented soap, can I use dawn or biodegradable/chemicals lemon soap? Or no soap?
Spray a test leaf first.... But usually any scent or perfume is toxic to plants.
Can you sub the Veg oil with Neem or is that overkill? I did so last year and seemed ok but not sure
Your other video stated the measurements were 1 liter water, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp soap and 2 tsp of veggie oil. So, is it teaspoons or tablespoons?
All tablespoons
Would citrus work to boost the soda instead of soap? 😬 does this get rid of and prevent aphids ?
Over the years did the baking soda keep the blight off your tomatoes til frost?
thanks..... ive got a few garden problems that might benefit from the baking soda. ... oh youve got a really nice work area btw. OH im infested with asian jumping worms i wonder if i should use the baking soda on them. maybe its in the video i havent finished watching yet .

The best and easiest way is to add sulphur, or a sulphate such as iron sulphate.
I was using some neem oil last year however my fear was that the pollinators would not pollinate the plants. Will neem oil or the baking soda spray affect my butterflies?
On direct contact it could harm them yes.. Systemically or long term it should not

Is the measurement teaspoons or tablespoons? This video say tablespoon the linked video say teaspoon
Will it kill crabgrass?
Yes
Hi, on you previous video of Baking soda you give the same quantities but you say teaspoons on this video the measurement are in tablespoons, which video is correct? Please let me know which measurements are correct.
Do I get a reply to my question?
This has nothing to do with the video but do you need to fertilize carrots? and if so what should you use?
One dilute liquid feed about 3 weeks after germination when they start getting sets of true leaves is usually enough. Balanced feed, don't just load up on nitrogen.
Thank you!
@@dvsmith79 no problem!

I did the insect soap during summer it fried my plants. Guess I didn't get the mix right.
Sorry to hear that Rosalind....spraying them in direct sunlight can have damaging effects as well....
