You might check the literature but I read a study last year that each lightening strike fixes on average about 7 lbs of nitrogen in the air and comes down in the rain. Amazing. Great video.

Wondering what category you chose when uploading your content. 15 categories sounds great, but is actually pretty limiting once you think about it

I wonder how say Kaolin clay effects all these leaf functions

I just put molasses and fish emulsion in my garden beds and compost pile. My beds have lots of organic matter and I just got soil tests back that showed I had high macro and micro nutrients. I’m about to start planting my cool weather crops but have to wait until the soil cools down

Crap not again hopefully are ok.

No chlorine in our tap water. It does have 8.5 degrees of German hardness. Not too bad, but it can affect acidity of soil.

Zone 7a ( used to be 6b) warmed up early, so I set out tomatoes and planted deep then we had a week of freezing weather had everything covered and water bottles at night. Everything was slowed way down, but once it warm up things took off like mad.😊 now if I could keep up with the weeds.

Would you please do a video on crop rotation?

Blah, Blah, Blah... you contradict yourself on a regular basis... Smoke less pot!

I have used red "cosy coats " on my tomatoes for more than 20 years. It allows me to plant out weeks earlier and be safe from frost. I did experiment with the red vs the clear and there was a significant difference with the red cozy coat plants being much larger sooner. I wouldn't grow tomatoes without them.

Poor people of Jasper, I hope you get your lives back soon. UK

Thanks for this

I wonder if purple mulch would be even more effective with both red and blue light being reflected?

Canada

Speaking of red what are the gender pronouns of ur tomatoes? 😮😮😮

My indoor plants were not doing very well with the tap water, some died. I switched over to springwater and now they’re all thriving. Thank you for this video. 😊 I haven’t drank tap water in decades and I think it’s disgusting the way they filter it. I don’t need any chlorine, fluoride and the rest of the chemicals in it lol.

Very interesting info. Thanks for sharing Ashley!

We can grow year-round and cycle plants (Probably zone 9 ish Melbourne Aus) but I add fertilizer more as a "tonic" than actually fertilize. Mostly Fish emulsion and/or seaweed solution at around 10% of the suggested rate. The rest of the used-up nutrients are added back via compost and sugar cane mulch. Been growing for many years with good success. recently we had a soil test done and the veg beds were all in the optimal to high range for nutrients. The rest of the garden was poor. I'll work on that 😊 Cheers!

Did they do a triangle test? Curious if the tasters found it “better” or different. And if “better” then what they were originally trained on.

"its just how I keep my hair red" 🤣

How about Hydroton or other red clay pebbles as a mulch for containers?

Thank god for red soil lol

Photons

wouldn't white have same results or better as it refracts more spectrums? black absorbs them so I would expect worst results there. I would imagine enclosed grow spaces have tested all colors and they seem to land on white or reflective as these options allow plants to get all the light from as many angles as possible.

Tomatillos are a common item in the southwest US grocery stores. I'm growing some from store brought fruit. The fruit is less than a dollar a pound.

This vid reminded me to spray off the diatomaceous earth from my plant leaves. Thanks Ashley!

👍🏼👍🏼 Aluminum Foil Balls work well too.

I have an AeroGarden. It's has a black surface. Maybe I should paint it red. 🤔

Sometimes I cut pieces out of old wool sweaters from the thrift shop to use as mulch. The knitted fabric is particularly great under ground cherries to make it easy to see the ripe fruit on the ground. Maybe it is time to snag the old red sweaters for tomatoes and basil...

I live on P.E.I I wonder if the red clay would have the same affect.

This is good to know. Another reason why rocks painted red are great in the garden! Now I got to do a lot more of them. Rocks painted red mimic the look of ripe fruit to birds. The birds get a hard, unpleasant surprise and they are less likely to revisit that garden spot. 😉

What are some good alternatives to fish emulsion?

Omg, my tomatoes and cucumbers are doing amazing this year and I have red mulch in my yardens front and back. My actual beds have straw mulch over coffee chaff mulch which is the best accident I ever experienced as far as moisture retention goes.

How important is the soil? Must you use a cactus type blend or can you just use normal random soil Ans make it more dry ?

red makes higher yields, that's what she said. wink wink

Thanks, Im getting some red paint and giving it a try.

I used silver mulch for a few years when I had a farm stand. In my experience, the tomatoes and squash in the rows with the mulch grew faster. The others caught up, eventually. However, the best thing was that I had less bug damage on the plants with the silver mulch. Also, on the bug note, bugs flocked to the wild amaranth growing nearby. So, don't pull them all up lol

We do better with IR up here in Canada, is my feel. Just for the warmth factor (without firepit). There doesn't seem like that much light penetration down to the disc that you show, and at least for my planting density, I haven't seen much effect after the initial spring thaw when the plants are still small.

I dont even have plants i just like watching this lady

How cruel blinding ppl for taste testing

I’m full colour blind

Watering by full force hose blast is the technique my plants get too! 😂 Discs are an interesting solution

Interesting find, but no. Hard no. Microplastics. Red mulch? Chemical dyes. Again, no.

I only put seeds in plain dirt in ground and make sure i water every other day or every day if its hot, i always treat it like a weed i notice fertilizer adds harshness to smoke plant apears to thrive off sunlight and can cut into hard clay dirt pretty well, honestly I think its easier to grow than tomatoes

I think I know what I'm going to suggest/strongly encourage next year to be my son's summertime garden experiment.
