    Do marshmallows grow better if you mulch them with Lucky Charms?

    • @eklectiktoni
      @eklectiktoni 2 місяці тому +6

      I'm pretty sure Lucky Charms have the perfect NPK for marshmallow bushes. Of course the downside is they aren't organic. I'd give it a shot though.

I have a lot a rabbit problems in London and often find i don't have many left when it comes to harvesting times. Thank you so much for reminding me to do a stake out.

    I have a hot cocoa plant in my garden. They grow amazingly well here in Wyoming because we too have a rollercoaster of weather but we also have dry, alkaline soil which is perfect for newly developing hot cocoa buds. Come next fall those beautiful spring buds will turn into pods of hot chocolate just ready for the picking as the temperatures again start to go up and down erratically. Thanks for sharing this video…I am definitely going to see about adding a marshmallow bush to my yard. It’s sure to be a hit with the dog and the grandkids, too!🃏

    Marshmallows have been around for millenia. One example can be seen from the Roman poet Horace who referred to his own diet in his Odes, which he describes as very simple: "As for me, olives, endives, and smooth [marsh]mallows provide sustenance." Thanks Gardner Scott for bringing more attention to this "special" plant!

    One winter I saw potato vines growing though a crack from underneath the storage spot under the house. Potatoes had formed under there on TOP of the soil. So I tried planting sweet potatoes and covered the planting area with plywood propped up on bricks and let the vines grow out the sides and put straw and leaves around the edge to block light and hold in moisture. Huge clean sweet potatoes formed on top of the ground beneath it. Cardboard/boxes should work to do this with either type if it can be supported and kept lifted above the soil. But even lifting it may not be needed for success. I`m gonna experiment with this since my soil is shallow and terrible and also try to figure out a way to grow them this way with a water/nutrients solution. Some people will actually BELIEVE you can grow marshmallows. Ha!

    There is more truth in the video than one would think. There really is a Marshmallow plant and the sap was used to make the Marshmallow candy (not any longer though). Apparently it also has some medicinal properties. And you can buy the plants though likely most nurseries would have to special order it. Loved the video. :)
