10 Vegetable Gardening Mistakes and How to avoid them - in 4K
Tips, Tricks
See the top 10 gardening mistakes all gardeners make and how to correct them. This episode focuses on vegetable gardening. Here are the top 10 problems and how to correct them: 1. Soil preparation and nutrients - Plants need water, sunlight and nutrition to grow. Make sure you are providing all these to your vetetable plants. This advice will let you grow plants to their full potential. 2. Letting plants go root bound - Never let your plants go root bound. Inspect your plants every 2-3 years and repot them if necessary. Prune the roots, use a new potting mix and water well! 3. Calcium deficiency in peppers and eggplants - Blossom end rot is a common problem with tomatoes and peppers. By adding a calcium rich fertilizer, you can avoid blossom end rot in these vegetables 4. Feeding high nitrogen to edible roots - Root plants like radisha nd carrots must not be fed high nitrogen fertilizers. Doing so will result in a lot of foliage but no roots. 5. Over watering - Stop watering onions 2-3 weeks before harvest. If you over water onions whent hey are forming bulbs, the skin will start rotting 6. Harvesting prematurely - wait for the plant to finish its life before harvesting. With premature harvests, the plant has not grown to its full potential 7. Cauliflower problems - Cauliflower suffers from 2 problems - insect damage and buttoning. Insect problems like aphids can be avoided by spraying the plant with soapy water on the first sign of seeing insects. Buttoning can be avoided by planting in cooler weather and avoiding high nitrogen fertilizers 8. Not providing sunlight for plants - Always grow plants in sunlight. Most vegetable plants need 6-8 hours of sunlight 9. Planting in the incorrect season - Plant crops in the right season. Cool season vegetables do not grow well in hot weather and vice versa. Make sure you follow our video guides to know which season to plant your veggies. 10. Not buying seeds from a trusted source - Always buy seeds from a trusted source to avoid being cheated or get something else than what you ordered. We recommend that you buy seeds from one of the following sources: 1. Amazon (Bob's rare seeds is a good vendor amongst others): http://amzn.to/28X2ZWY 2. Seed Savers: www.seedsavers.org 3. Baker's Creek Seeds: www.rareseeds.com

I took a TUMS tablet and crushed to fine powder and added it to a water bottle and added it to the base of the plant and sprayed it as a foliar spray in the morning before the sun was shining on my pepper plants. It cleared up quickly and the pepper were the best they ever have been for me.

Look up Dr Elaine Ingham and soil science. She has raised crops on land after 28 years of drought. You can look up Mycorrhiza on the web too.

We need seed exchange where we supply each other seeds when a self addressed enveope provided. Can you send me roselle and Moringa seeds if I send stamped envelope?

Only by doing practically you will learn. Yes I faced same problems as rookie gardener. Manure has high nitrogen, we cannot avoid it, as it has other micro nutrients we desire manure. Calcium and Boron deficiency is not a problem in a manure.

Hah I almost asked what State you lived in.

Hi,
I'd like to grow ginger and turmeric in large pots. I am in Southern California, zone 9. When should I plant them, and when should I harvest them? Should I stop watering before harvest, like the onions here. If so, how long before harvesting should I do that?
Thanks. -
I really love your videos. They are always really informative and interesting. I have had every problem you've mentioned here and then some...but al in all have a happy garden. We have extremely heavy rainfall here and very variable temperatures, so slugs, aphids, earwigs, white fly and cabbage butterfly are everywhere, often in huge numbers. And the soil leaches out quickly and has to be replenished with compost and manures regularly. It can be a big challenge, but a really rewarding one. :)

very informative thanks!

Today I discover that our tomatoes have spider mites. How do deal with it? Or is it easier to pull them all out. They are next to the cabbage plants.
