Le Potager du Sloth: Gardening without fatigue more than Bio

[Did67]

... I'm going to put all this close to my raspberry

An excellent idea: there is little reason to wallow under raspberries! And that must suit them perfectly - they are a bit of cousins, even if the brambles very quickly "overtake" the raspberries!

Thank you all for the advice regarding planting.
This afternoon I transplanted the batavia red batone bought in clumps, under the hay is very wet and the land is really fat is it normal?
My land is 2.40m of embankment and rocky soil and between 30 and 50cm of topsoil on the surface, yet water seeps well.

[Did67]

Yes, this is normal. With the rains, under the hay, the earth is full of water ...

This is one of the factors that "slows down" its warming: in addition to warming the earth, the same amount of sun must also heat the amount of water ...

This excess of water can temporarily limit gas exchange, and thus slow down the anaerobic organisms.

Everything (low temperature, more or less partial anaerobiosis) can lead to vegetables that vegetate or grow slowly, being pale yellow ...

I think that in the partico-practical guide you will have to tackle this subject because it is a scouring

then, after the culture of laziness we will have to sow patience because too many of our gardeners lack

today reporting on RTL and promoting a book 100 days without supermarket and the apology of the short circuit, the journalist has rediscovered that there is a season for each vegetable, peasant groceries, after on doing his laundry is even , there we slide to the big anything that drowns the good in a fed up of bullshit well damage

Yes it is ! let's see Didier! to eat them ... laziness obliges

I have a question about sowing in buckets, aubergine, tomatoes, peppers, is it the moment in mid-March to plant in mid-May under an open tunnel or wait until the end of May?
On the packet of tomato seed it is written sow 5 weeks before planting, this delay seems a little short.

As an indication, I sow tomatoes and company at the end of March and even 1ère week (even fortnight) of April not to be stuck in mid - May with plants that wither if adverse weather conditions for transplanting to the garden.

to note ; I sow in a greenhouse (unheated) in polystyrene fish tanks with a heating cable (in the seedbed), which passes from one box to the other by a small hole (4 boxes in alignment). I have a thermostat with a probe to adjust the soil temperature to the nearest degree.

on my fish trays, I put up extensions that I made plexiglass when tomatoes grow. I close up with a piece of plexi at night and open during the day.
I adjust the temperature to 20 ° day and night (17-18 ° if I want to slow down the growth according to the weather outside when I see that it will not be possible to transplant in mid-May)

in 5-6 weeks, I have very robust and stocky tomato plants of 30 - 35 cm high.
Oh I forgot, I sow in my fish boxes (online a seed every 2-3 cm staggered) and when the plants make 6-7 about cm high (when they start to interfere), I transplant into buckets that I put back in my polystyrene box; I bury a good part of the stem with each transplanting (in bucket and then in the ground)

Would it be possible to have some stp photos?

Do you think it is a good idea to have sown peas and mangetout peas yesterday in buckets? (5-6 seeds / scoops))

Didier advises 2 seeds by bucket
Space a little more your pots at the plantation

I think that the origin of the technique of multiplying the number of seeds comes from this video:

And that for the culture under mulch of hay, it was confirmed on this video:

Would it be possible to have some stp photos?

Yes, I'll give you a little photo report of my tomato plants, from seed to plant to transplant.
without boasting, I master the thing now after years of trial and error.

since 2 years, I strive to make seedling chervil tuberous, this delicious vegetable forgotten!
it is a very delicate and capricious seedling that affects the price of this vegetable (from 12 to 15 € per kg!)
I find it rarely and overpriced but hey, I do not smoke, I do not drink, I do not play .... it's my little cute sin

it is necessary to put the seeds to be stratified in the autumn, or to sow in November, one needs seeds of the year ...
do any of you grow this vegetable?

[Carl]

Yes, this is normal. With the rains, under the hay, the earth is full of water ...

Should not we impose a period in FEBRUARY or MARCH? or we remove all the remaining hay to let the earth dry and warm up ???
Or is it inconceivable for a gardener not to do anything for a month? (Yeah, I'm teasing!)

[Carl]

Yes, I'll give you a little photo report of my tomato plants, from seed to plant to transplant.

YES !!! With great pleasure !

In addition, having the chance to have a feedback from the beginning of the cycle to its end (the goal sought) is really super rewarding and interesting ... in comparison with several videos showing different tests, different species, that must be put in perspective after the fact.

thanks in advance
