Wallet posted:I am envious of your climate and also your cute skink friend (I think it's a skink? I have no idea, we don't have lizards in these parts). It's about to drop a couple feet of snow here. It is a cute skink friend, but I also need to contend with the larger local fauna and I've been chasing the local scrub turkeys away from my garden  https://youtu.be/Og_g3b5edRY It's been getting bloody hot and humid here ~40° and 80-90% humidity which gets old quick My plants love it but I have been watering myself as much as the plants

Dumb ghetto solution Could you hang up a wet towel on a rack nearby and let it dry and remoisten as needed?

Jhet posted:Are you not worried that they're going to vine all over all the other plants you have situated there? I keep a pretty good eye on that section of my garden, and even if it does get a bit wild , choko vines shoots are edible, and respond well to a prune I had some cucamelons and tomatoes there previously that took over everything.I figure one choko won't be unmanageable. The other stuff is herbs that can take a bit of shade too Here is a photo of the same area over run by tomates and vine cucumbers  Earth posted:Whoa, are you using styrofoam coolers? Yeah, I live near a bunch of fruit and veg shops and fish mongers who just give them away for free Easy high volume (20-50 L) planters, it's pretty great, I got 6 of them to grow my kangkong and it's more than I can eat. And you can add holes in the bottom/side depending on the plants preference for swampy conditions You can see the kangkong on the left here  I've done potatoes in them to great effect before, and they are a regular size so it's easy to slide things line a sokoban instead of trying to lift tens of kilos of dirt Good fun

Inoculated 5 jars of popcorn and set up a mushroom bed , I wanna get it to be more "vertical" but I figure a bed is enough for now Bed  Innoculation

Jhet posted:I’ve never heard of popcorn for inoculation before. That’s really cool. Wine caps are yummy and that looks like it’ll be a good spot for them if they get enough water under there. Just working with what I know from other , COMPLETELY LEGAL, Mushroom grows I have read about The bed is at the bottom of the garden so any ground water naturally flows in that direction , we are entering the we season here and it's covered by the stairs so it shouldn't get too soaked I hope Those stakes on the right have beans planted near them and there is a rogue choko engulfing the area in shade so I think it's a good choice

Houston, we have mycelium Edit: additionally I'm growing some oyster mushrooms and oh boy are they aggressive This is 3 days after spawn and 8 hours apart

I have birthed my 9L oyster mushroom cake There is some contamination, which is unsurprising. But it's looking well and I'm confident it will work out

Wallet posted:
I would not call it traditional , but it is followed the general production techniques It's generally a process of taking a spore or mycelium sample and innoculating/introducing progressively larger sterile amounts of spawn material. Sort of like bulking up a sourdough starter As your amount gets larger it becomes more resistant to contamination and you can allow it to fruit in open air Here I have effectively made a log/stump of straw for the mushrooms to grow on, aswell as put hardwood mulch down for it to spread throughout

My local scrub turkey decided to help out and spread my hay/mycelium puck Oh well, big rain predicted a week from now I figure if I keep shoveling mycelium into the ground I'll get Mushrooms eventually

My Mushroom adventures continue I made some Mushroom block last night Scaling up 300ml of spawn to 1L of bulk seems reasonable Fingers crossed I avoid contamination

I have recently come into some large bins and am wondering if I might have more success with mushroom fruiting in a slightly more controlled environment What would be the best way to turn these into mushroom fruiting chambers? I figure hole drilling and hay may be involved

Goodpancakes posted:I started some tomatoes from seed and I have them in some self watering pots in a "seed-starter" mix after they germinated. Will these have to be repotted into some other type of soil? Seed raising mix is a bit lighter and fluffier You will have better results in a denser, richer soil If this is your first time growing stuff however , and you are anxious about transplantation, you can grow in seed raising mix. Up the fertilizer a bit and watch the water so it doesn't dry out

I'm looking to sprout some ginger and sunchoke during the tail of this winter Would popping the rhizomes in a shady greenhouse be a good idea?

Nowhere near dead by my eye Trim the affected area Give it a bit of a wash with a hose Place in the sunniest area you have What sort of climate do you have?

I can't think in F° I'm sorry but Ive googled and look to be around freezing point? No? If so, I would advise the warmest, Sunniest spot you got, make sure the soil is well draining and a little moist but not sopping I have the same plant and it struggles during the worst of winter here and that's , at absolute worst a couple nights of 5°c Propagating a cutting may also be an idea just to keep your mind at ease  Jade propagates easily

smax posted:In this case I think it’s tradescantia pallida. I feel a little dirty writing “wandering Jew” so many times and I don’t know why it’s called that name in the first place, so from here out I’ll just use t. pallida. Our local name has shifted from wandering Jew, to wandering dew Its a very *taps temple* solution
