Discoveries on repotting from peat based soil into Gritty mix
Comments (9)Hi yellowthumb, You said it was rootbound? Did you break up the root ball and loosen the roots, then fill in the roots "completely" with the gritty mix. I mean completely... Did you use a pencil or stick to push the gritty mix into the air pockets of the root ball, and make sure the gritty mix surrounds most all the roots? You can hose in the gritty mix with strong pressure of water so any air pckets you might of missed with pencil would fill the rest of rootball and surround the roots? I shove the hose right into the pot forcing the gritty mix with the water to to fill in around the roots. If not, your denias may fail. I lost a few by not using this method learned of the gritty mix as I just filled "around" the roots. I sure learned the hard way in the begining. I now have several denias doing wonderful in the gritty mix with loads of white roots. You have seen the pictures of my denias on the fragrance forums.;-) It took no time for them to respond well, when transplanted especially in the begining of spring or summer.. Hope it goes well... My larger potted ones love the gritty mix. I still put my smaller ones in the 5.1.1 mix....See MoreMy New Discovery!
Comments (18)Hi Josh, I have been meaning to email you. I got fed up with the B.S. on the C and S forum, so I don't post there any longer! I will get a pic of my avocado 'Day' here soon. I am getting 2 boxes of brugmansia cuttings this week so when they get here, I have to get pics of them and I will take pics of the avocado. How are your jades and citrus? I have seen a few pics on th C and S forum. I don't even post comments as I am not wanting any retaliation from that dumba** PG! I would like to see pics of your avocado! I have never seen it before. How old is it? I have heard the same thing. I even heard that it can take longer if there potted. I appreciate that you cleared that up though. I have not even had mine for a year yet and it is going to bloom! Mike, Glad to hear you had a great trip and good to hear that they made up for there B.S.! Did they give you a credit or something? So how did Byron explain himself? I still don't have any respect for Logees. They thrive on the fact that there customers are not familiar with tropicals, so they feel they have the right to charge un real amounts for there TEENY TINY plants, especially there tropical fruit trees. Mike, do you know that a long time ago I bought over a hundred dollars in plants and they arrived DEAD, and I NEVER got my money back and they wouldn't honor there credit that they sent to me! I only order from them when I feel like I don't have a choice. That was the ONLY reason I ordered my 'Day' from them and I went thru such a hassle with them! Byron was also supposed to give me a call and I NEVER heard back from him. I didn't ask to speak to him, they offered to have him call me and I said that I would LOVE to offer him mt 2 cents! Again, I felt the need to order that tangelo from them. Mike that was a nice gesture but you didn't have to! I also have to say that I am ANGRY with Four Winds! How many weeks have gone by since I emailed them about there so called contest and no email back?? That makes me feel like I just wasted my time with them and maybe I shouldn't bother buying from them again either! I boasted about there awesome quality trees and you and I both know that together, we convinced others to buy from them, and why did I do that for them? It just really makes my blood boil! Pine Island nursry is so much better than them, and I may just see if Potratz greenhouse in Erie can buy my Minneola when they are at the Tropical fruit expo. I think that it will be my best bet and I will get it at the prices in Florida and not have to pay a dime for shipping! Yeah, I am going to call them again tomorrow or maybe just go and visit them. They are going to bring me back a 'Carrie' mango and again, I will get it for $25 or $30 and not pay a dime for shipping! Andrew...See MoreBoost your Routine. A Brand New Detergent Discovery!
Comments (189)Did a load of dishes with Bubble Bandit last night. At first glance, everything looked amazing. However, as I was unloading things, I noticed that anything with a small amount of food on it, didn't wash away. :/ There was also a horrible streak on two glasses. Re-Washed everything this morning with Cascade Gel + STPP, and once again Spotless. I just don't get that Bubble Bandit stuff. :(...See MoreIrrational germination and growth rates: Discovery or what?
Comments (2)I tried Trillium in a passed (past?) life only to gave up and I am familiar with germination times but I don't think this is a factor here. Although each cycle had different seeds, they also had at least one seed in common and they were from the same packet. Each group had a tray of the Rutger's tomato. In the first batch, they germinated and grew quickly. The second batch three weeks later definitely took longer to germinate and showed signs of growing at a much slower rate. I will have to wait until next January to run this test again and this time I will take a lot of pictures. As far as I know, aside from temperature, all seeds had the same treatment and environment. I certainly will welcome any other suggestions though. I am going to guess that this will be a situation where, after I make a full diagnosis and a conclusion, that all of a sudden there will be posts here suggesting "Yes, you didn't know that?"
