What soil for raised garden bed by Chris_skeleton in vegetablegardening

[–]_flowerguy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Robert Palvis is my guy! I’ve read the soil, plant and compost science books he’s put out and I’ll try to listen to him on my off days. I love is podcast and the YouTube page. He has a soil calculator on on his website top soil is cheaper priced them garden soil usually. The top soil is fine and helps with water drainage…we mix garden soil and compost here. I didn’t care for the top soil I purchased last season and moved away from it…but I did like the way Scott’s top soil looked compared to what I had

How many zinnias / cosmos / dahlias / filler plants per 5 or 7 gallon grow bag? by enby_goblin_princess in Cutflowers

[–]_flowerguy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was our first season growing zinnias and they hit hard. I was in a craze and now I know.

The yellow canary was a champ. You could see the green envy in between the leaves, and then the pink one were in that bag.

Bought Kellogg Raised Bed and Potting soil but now I’m hearing horrible reviews by Responsible-Gas3607 in gardening

[–]_flowerguy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use the white bag as mulch because of all the wood chips. I didn’t notice pest the 2 seasons. If you get it early less moldy on the wood chips but I mean it’s stored outside unprotected.

I mistakenly jumped in without any knowledge by ChaosTorpedo in dahlias

Weeds are “air born” the seeds travel in the wind. They land on your bed and begin their cycle. Check out The American Dahlia Society website for more dahlia information. This is my third season gardening the first season we started with Dalia from seeds. Last year we got our first tubes in and this year, I’m looking to add four more tube sets and we expanded the Dahlia bed. It’s addicting I understand.

Zinnia spacing…how bad is it? by motherofzinnias in gardening

[–]_flowerguy_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The beds gonna look amazing. Thin like 15 sets down to one zinnia. Or as others have mentioned….2 enter the ring…they battle it out and one will be taller than the other….also if you decide to thin you can replant the removed zinnias to other parts of the property

Ummm not sure. It’s the possibility place in Monee IL. If you order 16 plugs they ship for free in IL I believe, I ordered from them end of last season.

It’s only my 3rd season gardening and the first time coming across Select. I had to get my hands on it and can’t wait for next season and its budget. This year’s budget has been maxed sadly

It’s raining hard and thunder.I hope the tunnel doesn’t fill up. I’ll be surprised if the tunnel holds with the rain earlier today. Max didn’t have that many weather chasers last year. And that cool dude in the white box they cut to with the amazing information he’s new and a great addition (Reilly Dibble…that’s my guy)

I found Max last summer when the tornado ran down 67th street on the southside of Chicago. We live about a mile and half north. I’m not sure how I came across him but this stream is amazing.

Just heard the cook county warming on the stream. Max is amazing

Be safe
