Thx I started using a teaspoon of vinigar in 1,7 l of water as a last resort for a tamato plant that I thought was going to die on me and the results was slowly but im going to get a harvest so now i'm rather going to try this method as well, thank you

@@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058 That's cool. I saw that too, probably would have worked also since it can wear of pretty quickly to regulate more easily.
I just relearned how important it is to check the ph of the water before using it. Once the soil gets too far off it gets difficult to correct, especially the trace elements.
@@sarahgrooms5606 right? I figured the little stream would be perfect. That combined with one thorough watering with bloom booster almost pushed them both too far.

Does YEAST do the same thing as Trichoderma ? Increased growth and enhancement of the plant’s nutrient uptake Trichoderma produces auxins or growth hormones, which it passes on to the plant. The plant then uses auxin for its root and general growth. In addition, Trichoderma is able to make nutrients available in the soil more easily available to the plant. By producing organic acids, the pH value is reduced locally and the solubility of phosphates, micronutrients and e.g. iron etc. is increased. This makes the existing nutrients easier for the plant to access, which, in addition to the auxins, is reflected in the increased growth of the plant.
@@blue-flamephoenixrising2398 The organic does sound a lot safer when trying to experiment. Root care is definitely key, needing to breathe for oxygen and loose and light type soil with organic for easy nutrient uptake and they grow so fast I usually underestimate them lol
He said Citric Acid at around minute 1:15 and it’s used with fertilizer, makes the soil acidic so one needs a pH tester to ensure the soil stays in the ideal range
my well pump was recently replaced and ever since the iron in the water is horrendous ... I use a Berkey filter for drinking and the inside of it is now orange, same with toilet tank. I cannot afford a super outdoor filter just use the cylinder style and change it every month or so. Have no idea how this affects my garden, which is not doing all that well this year, having given up because of Florida deer and insects for quite a few years now. I have citric acid for yarn dyeing so I will try this addition.
Try catching and using your rain water to water your plants. I have buckets below the corners of my roof and use them. (I wonder if the iron would settle to the bottom...) Hope things get better!
@@angelaenoch630 thanx tried that but mosquito larvae dont take long to appear and it is disgusting to see them floating around in the collected water. They can lay eggs in just a tablespoon of water so you need the right protected setup here in FL.
@@ZenGardenOasis. mosquito bits are quite costly and you need a lot for a large barrel but I think it may be possible to add dishwasher fluid to the rain barrel it supposedly stops the larvae from being able to survive
What PH tester is it that you recommend? I’m sure I have very acidic soil as I have oak trees. I’ve been using the calcium concoction (shells ground w vinegar) slow release fertilizer that is well balanced.
I love your videos I would greatly appreciate if you could give your opinion on using 40 gallon water barrels full of water as a passive solar greenhouse is it worth it
My tomatoes are light green and I added Epson salt to them but it hasn't helped. I water every day. Am I watering to much or is there something else I should do?
Light green from the top or the bottom leaves? If the top leaves are losing color first, there is likely a watering or an immobile nutrient issue. If it is the bottom leaves that are yellowing first and you haven't been under/over watering, you likely need more nitrogen. Try dried blood or fish emulsion, they work a treat for nitrogen issues. Otherwise, see what else you might have laying around with a high(ish) nitrogen content. Nitrogen is the first number of the stated NPK value.
@@JM-ym8mm ok, I will try what you said. It's the hole plant. I thought of mixing the yeast mixture and try that or the citric acid. Should I do both or just one. I put blood meal in my bigger garden and the tomatoes there are fine, just the ones in my raised bed garden are light green. Thank you
go buy iron sulphide, it'll do the same thing but it'll do it better, longer lasting and provides additional iron and sulfur to your soil. While iron is generally not missing calcareous soil, most of it is not in a form that the plant can easily absorb. The sulfur acidifies the soil which makes everything else more easily absorbed by the plant. All this said, you should probably test the pH of your soil before you go around trying to change it.

It can also be used for canning tomatoes and tomato sauce. Thanks never would have thought of using this for the plants.

What about using CA to acidify the soil for blueberry and strawberry plants in containers? If so, how often?
@@TheTruthShallPrevail777 I started looking into it but figured it would be harder to reverse if I messed it up worse lol
Thank you for the tips. As usual, your video came at the perfect time. I will try the citric acid and test the pH.
Thank you so much for the video. Did you say how much to mix to water plants? I have watched this several times and didn't see it if you did.
I agree unclear I tracked some doses though he did say 1/2t in 1 gal for seedlings starts and 1 tsp per gal to spray for aphids 2T per gal on ant beds
1-1.5 cups

For container gardeners should we schedule to do this more often as the nutrients run out of the drain holes?

Yes
Well what about Sulfur? Isn't Iron Sulphate used precisely for this reason?
Sulfur takes longer and lasts longer. This method is quick but not lasting.
Good information. What about vinegar?
Yeah. Homemade citris vingare...
???
Where do we order the citiate acid????
Check the description
Citric acid is sold in supermarkets. You’ll find it in Baking aisle, where sugar, flour is.
Milliard's Citric Acid at Amazon not expensive and can be used to clean as well. Ships quickly in lower 48 states.
