I want to fight a magnesium deficiency with a Epsom (1tsp p/g) spray. How often should I apply it?

Curious about best ways to collect worms, if there are types to prize and types to avoid and how many one needs to start a small box? Also wonder about relationship between worm bin and compost pile. Which gets table scraps? Speaking of table scraps, how fatal is it if a little meat or dairy end...

Thinking of making a crude homemade bio char. Want top dress through flowering. Wondering what to burn with my wood and manure to add the right kind of charge? Also, suffering a magnesium issue so maybe mg accumulator plants. I only have very basic understanding, maybe some experts can chip in.

Any other growers threatened by fire? Nothing to do but pray the wind don't shift

I am worried by the leaf drop my plants are suffering. I believe it's a deficiency. Maybe Potassium, Magnesium or Manganese - I have been studying the diagnosis threads - but I'm not sure which one. I am feeding a tea which ought to supply all needs but it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps it's made...

Started a new garden this year. 100% organic. Feeding via mulch, compost tea and fish emulsion. 3 weeks into bud and things are looking good for the most part except for a recent infestation of thrips. Lower leaves are suffering most. Tops seem vigorous. I'm not sure how to proceed. The plants...

My plants are starting to show their sex. All female, thankfully, except for one that I am having a hard time determining. Looks mostly female but are those male flowers down below? Appreciate another's opinion. Thanks.

Hoping to acclimatize some stuff I'm growing. Need to make seed and wondered how early pollen is viable as I want to cull males early yet hang on go some pollen. Do flowers have to be open or can you cut early and let flowers bloom in a vase somewhere far from females? Also I'm not sure at what...

Hi all, Wonder if anybody has any tips or tricks for drying in a hot climate. Even in September the temps can be in the 90s and without ac or swamp coolers my drying room just isn't cool enough.ny I get a decent cross draft but know its too hot for a nice slow dry. Any ideas? A

Growing outdoors in Northern California. Organic. Bag seed mostly. Planted in late May. Still a week or two from determining sex. I have limited space and planted quite tight, anticipating the when the males are removed there should be plenty of space for the rest. Starting to see a hint of...

Outdoor Organics on a shoestring. Hi folks, I don't have the resources for imported bat pooh and I have ethical problems with most animal based products so I'm growing my garden with whatever is at hand in my local environment. It is a bit of an experiment. I'm into my second grow of this...
