Vertical Gardening: How To Transplant Plants
I show some key steps to successfully transplant plants for vertical gardening. I’m guessing you will learn a thing or two that is new but could really help …

Holla! Have you considered – zrumplina diy aquaponics (should be on google
have a look)? Ive seen some unbelivable things about it and my work buddy
grew excellent flowers with it.

Always dodgy when you’re doing it to one of your favourite plants!

I guess it is really difficult to do transplant that’s why I am scared to
give it a try. But through this video, I just found out and realized that
it is not a quite tough. Thank you for this post because it is worth
learning for!

We got the bees for pollination. They do a great job. My neighbors love
having the honey bees in the neighborhood for pollination of their flowers
and plants too. Of course the honey we give them kind of sweetens the deal
too.

I was talking to LDSprepper. He did, you shouldn’t use an automatic system
for the initial watering of transplants especially on a small scale, I
thought his sand/saw dust mixture was only on the very top layer, hence the
green manure comment.

so are you glad you did this, rather than just the grass back yard… i
remember when you were mapping out the yard….

I found a wood mill in my area. But you can buy compressed sawdust from
Lowes or home depot, You could also check cabinet shops.

Removing leaves from a transplanted plant should never be done. Plants have
a leaf to root ratio that is vital for their survival. Removing the leaves
puts stress on the plant and puts more effort into leaf growth rather than
root growth. If you are looking for root growth, lower your watering. If a
plant is not getting enough water, it will increase root growth to go
searching for water. Also, planting your transplants deeper than the
original root ball will increase your chances of rot.

a loss of rich organic soil, and thus nutrients, from the native grassland
prairie were a result of the dust bowl. Furthermore, you continue to speak
of physical erosion (wind erosion and water) which says nothing about the
ramifications of chemical fertilizers. To quote you sir, “Your. Just
another newbie with an attitude.” it should be You’re, and yes, I have an
attitude with uninformed people spreading unfounded misinformation without
providing any sufficient evidence.

That is awesome. I have found that no matter what kind of care plants get
they want to grow. They grow in cracks, with little water or nutrients. I
have also learned by having three different gardening methods in my back
yard that plants will grow faster, healthier and produce more nutritious
food if they get the care and nutrients they need. Since I have a small
garden I have the time to give them the attention they need to reach their
greatest potential. And I enjoy the time in the garden.

75% sawdust, 25% course sand.

Are you planning on doing any cover crops/green manure/crop rotation with
your garden?

I do have a video on the automatic watering system. Please view my

Couple things you might want to try next time: Don’t mound up the soil,
actually have it inverted so the initial watering will flow towards the
stem and straight down over the roots rather than away from the plant. It’s
okay to apply some pressure, make sure the roots make contact. I also would
have planted that other tomato, you have good soil going on and I would
just bury it deeper for support and new roots will form out of the stem.You
should get a seed catalog! Growing from seed is fun.

your statement that chemical fertilizers will destroy soil is unfounded. It
does not destroy microbial life, and can, in fact, cause microbial life to
flourish if used properly. overuse or excess of any soil amendment can be
damaging. It most certainly doesn’t not destroy other nutrients. I’m a soil
scientist and I have never seen a nitrogen compound attack and nullify a
phosphorus molecule. this is ludicrous.

I don’t mound the soil around the plants or press the soil down. If some
soil is slightly higher it will settle when I water in the plants and
nitrogen. The plant I didn’t plant was not a tomato. However, planting
tomatoes as deep as possible does promote root growth. I have over 100,000
heirloom seeds so I don’t really need any seed catalogs.

TIL about growing vertical peppers, never thought of that one before. You
can teach an old dog new tricks. 🙂

well sir, methinks one who publishes research in the Soil Science Society
of America Journal may, perhaps, be a soil scientist otherwise known as an
agronomist. It seems to me that you don’t have a valid argument so you have
resorted to name calling and semantics. A master gardener is a trained
volunteer (you). I have a Master’s degree from a land grant university in
soil fertility. Your outrage speaks volumes. The dust bowls came from
physical manipulation of the soil not chemical (fertilizers)

Who are you talking to? He didn’t mound up the soil, his watering system
shoots the water into the soil, so it doesn’t “flow,” and his soil is not
“good,” it’s sand and saw dust. There would be no reason to rotate crops or
use manure because the weekly feed takes care of all of the nutrients the
plants need.

Just like food I keep one year supply of fertilizer on hand. According to
the USDA this is organic. All the ingredients used in the Mittleider
fertilizers are approved for organic gardening by the USDA. If you buy
organic produce at the store they could and probably are using the same
fertilizer ingredients as the Mittleider gardening method. Organic means no
toxic pesticides, herbicides or insecticides. That is how I garden.
