RE: Tell me... Self-sufficient gardening?
I see you are working hard in your garden.
That compost planting soil you bought is a rip off, those soils are supposed to be prepared for plants to thrive in soft soil.
I too have planted from vegetable cuttings from the market. They thrive for a while and then decline. Garlic doesn't do well either, I don't know why.
Thanks for bringing the latest you do in your garden and I hope something grows there.
As long as the kitchen scraps give a bit extra I'm glad. It's worth the try. The spring onions work the best.
I saw a video on yourtube where a guy grew great salad back and ofcourse potatoes work fine too.
Perhaps the garlic is sprayed?
They do it more and more and fruits are sterile too.
I think that soil contains stuff that shouldn't be in there.
you may be right and the soil may not be suitable.
I know there are vegetables that need to be sprayed but I don't know about garlic. The times I tried I failed in the attempt hehehe.
I planted it today and will consider it as a tryout. Don't know yet if anything will grow since I don't think the garlic can remain in the soil till next year. If possible I will plant in October too. Fingers crossed. Just used the soil I dug out of my garden. At the moment I'm not willing to buy anything.
I wish you much success, my friend.
Thank you, fingers crossed. If vegetables, and potatoes won't work I should keep more animals and eat eggs only?
What needs to be done needs to be done.
