The vegetable garden without getting tired




by stephgouv » 23/02/20, 23:03

Finally there it is! I took the plunge. And what a step!
In order to make sure that I was going to do the right thing, I revised Didier's video.
I then planted 30t of garlic pebbles and a few large commercial potato sprouts (just for testing).
Real plants are waiting for the right season to be planted.
I still have trouble knowing when to sow what and when to transplant.
Another thing that I find it difficult to manage is the watering of the seedlings. Especially for salads, not many successes ...
But hey, I think that thanks to you for this year it will be a success. :D

pheno is practiced like any vegetable garden
you just have to know that the earth heats up less quickly, so 15 days of lag at the start that we catch up at the end
the hay prevents any adventitious emergence as sowing, so you have to open furrows to sow

for potato sprouts it's in a bucket with a little bit of soil on it, there is no reserve of the tuber

So I already "screwed up" ... I put everything in the ground with the dibbler ...
In addition when I explained it to my mom (farmer's daughter), she told me that I will have nothing because I had to leave a piece of pdt with ... Info or intox?

a little bit of potato, it's a little reserve, so why not

That's what I told her.
In addition, seeing that I recovered these germs, it's free, so nothing lost. We'll see...
By cons where I need info (visual), it's the way to irrigate my seedlings.
I noticed that I no longer have to put my pumpkin / pumpkin seedlings with tomatoes and other salads in the same bin.
I tend to leave 1cm of water in the bottom of the tank and suddenly, only the squash / pumpkin seedlings appreciate. Tomatoes a little less and salads not at all.
So, I have to be more organized.

Like you, I tested sprouted potatoes or simply with the germ, before I really started, so 12 pdt of tests under about 40 cm of hay. The mild climate of this winter helping, everything grows, I just protect against white frosts.
Regarding sowing in pots, I only spray water, I do not let any plant stagnate in water.

Do you see a difference in size / quantity of harvest between single germ and pdt germinated in the ground?
Thanks for the spray tip, but I've always read and heard that you should avoid wetting the foliage (unless the spray is targeted under the 1st leaves?).

For sowing small seeds, I do this:
1) I fill my pots with 2cm of special potting soil 2cm from the edge
2) I let them wade 5-10min in 4-5cm of warm water
3) I sow and put about 0.5cm of potting soil on it and place them in my tray / growing container.
That's all.
For the quantifiable seeds, ditto, except that I make a hole with a skewer, push the seed in and close the hole.
So far I'm on the right track I think. Where I also undoubtedly hurt is that I do not put a cover on my culture tank and therefore the water evaporates too quickly and suddenly, I have to "drown" the soil every day so that it is always wet at the end of the day, otherwise it is dry and cracks.

A planted potato tuber gives three or four stems, a planted germ gives a single stem, the cost we plant less spaced. I didn't do it at the start, but I added more since, my test started before Christmas, because I had found sprouted peelings outside. Of course it was very early, but as it was only for a test .... And of course it was already lifted, but it only has a small surface and I protect it with hay and veil of wintering against frost.
For spraying, do not take your head for the leaves, I have been doing this for 2 months without worries. And I cover my bins at the end of the afternoon, it's transparent bins with covers for DIY stores, so I cover if it's raining or if it's too cold, I open to let the air circulate when I want, and I rarely spray

it is necessary to put potting soil up to the top of the tank and especially not to let the potting soil dry, if your tank is a good ten cm high it should not dry too quickly after you can spray by letting the water take the room temperature when filling the sprayer always from the previous day

Thank you for the info.
My seedlings are in a veranda which has a temperature of around 10-15 ° c in winter and goes up to 30 ° c as soon as there is a ray of sunshine. So not easy to manage when I'm not at home during the day ...
