Found 10 seeds in a place I forgot about. Figured even though it's really late I might as well see what I get. Just germinated them last night... Going to grow outdoors, fairly close to my house... Figured these ones wouldn't get too big and would blend. My other garden is doing great but I...

I'm not sure exactly what is going on with my plants. I transplanted 4 plants out of 24 ounce styrofoam cups. The transplant seemed to go well. I came back and checked on the plants about 3 days later and they looked okay, slightly less healthy than before the transplant. But still mainly...

So the guy at my local gardening supply store recommended this newer product called Bloombastic for when my plants flower. He said it is top notch stuff. I have never heard of it and it is super expensive $90 for 11 oz!!! It is supposedly Award Winning of some kind (I can't remember). But...

How big can you grow a weed plant outdoor in a 20 ounce styrofoam cup?... I have a few that I was going to transplant once they were bigger. I just wanted to know how big I should let them get before I transplant. The bigger/healthier the more shock resistant right?... Also should I just...

Whatever these things are called rollie pollie or pill bugs you know the gray little bugs that roll up into little balls?... Yeah I have tons of those, haven't had them in the past. Not sure if they are harming my plants. Do they pose any threat? If so what are the best techniques to go...

I have 2 sites. My first site everything is going well. My 2nd site all my plants have purple stems and are not growing at all. They have been in the ground for about 10 days. When I first put them in we had a drop off in temp 2 nights were really cold. The plants are still alive but they are...

We have germinated seeds that are about 4 1/2 inches long on average. When we go to plant how far above the soil should the plants be?... My partner and I were both thinking opposite on this one, so we were looking for a little enlightenment.

Okay I just germinated yesterday about 30 seeds for a second outdoor site. The weather looked good when I checked the 10 day forecast 2 days ago. Today I look at the weather and it is saying there is a chance of storms for the next 3 days. I never like to germinate for more than 4 days. But I am...

I remember reading that spraying your plants with carbonated water helped them. As they absorb more CO2. Anyone have any insight on this? I was going to start testing it but I figured I'd ask on here first.

I have seen a lot of people recommend Fox Farms, I've never really actually had the money to afford it. I was considering it this year. But when I went in to buy some my local gardening supply store told me that fox farms was not the best nuet especially for it's money. I talked to 3...

I was recommended to use Red Worms by the bait shop guy for a garden (he admitted knowing very little about gardening but he's heard to use red worms). He said they are very hardy/survivable and produce a lot of worm castings. Anyone have any insight to this?... Are red worms good are there a...

I just had a few questions about post germinating that I wanted to get opinions on. After you germinate how deep do you plant the sprouts?... I germinated for 4 days so some of my sprouts had started to grow green leaves at the tips if they were green I was leaving them above the soil, if they...

I was planning on planting about a little over week ago but I kept seeing lows in the low to mid 30's... So I waited for it to warm up some near me (in the Midwest). Now all the lows are in the low 40's. Is that too cold? There are a few days with lows of 49 and 50 but most are around 40 - 42...

Which method is best for your sprouts?... Peat pellets or Paper Towels? I have also heard that a thin cotton towel actually works better than paper towel as well. Any confirmation on this?... I've germinated both ways and have had around 85% - 95% sprout rate either way. I've just heard...

Would dipping your seeds and/or sprout-lings in rooting hormone help your seeds or sprouts grow better roots? Or are they not developed enough to handle the hormone?...

I have heard to bury organic things such as fish, banana peels, tomatoes, etc. under your garden so it can decompose into the soil and later supply nutrients to your plants. What organic food would be the best to use? Also how much time before I plant do I have to bury these organic food(s)? How...

My site has 2 ant hills both about 30 feet away from it. They both are red ant hills, does anyone know if they will be problematic?... If so is there a known remedy for this? I hear some poison is bad to use near your plants as it will get into the rain runoff.
