@ Nico239:
"
I find it great for the PRACTICAL side.
I did last year but as usual in bad conditions ... (attention and vigilance).
Convenient because the bottle protects little
You can cover easily with a veil
It is easily transportable
You do not have to worry about watering if you put a good bed of gravel several cm that you fill with water.
It protects creatures if you take them out
Cold too
To plant a scissors hitting the bottom of the bottle, the pebbles turn and you put directly on the ground well wedged by hay
You pass transplanting in intermediate bucket since the container is large at the origin
So I find that it gives rather less work than seedbed more transplant into 9 buckets like this year"
Hi and thank you for your reply.
I, too, have experimented for two years on a small scale with luck, misfortune and trial and error, of course.
in 2017 I only successfully made a few stems of tomatoes (100% Blec_G method): planting out in the planter on the balcony.
Last year they spun. On the other hand correct result with zucchini, pumpkin and cucumbers then transplanted into the hay (see the context at the beginning of this thread)
Considering the answers obtained on the "Fil-boulevard" I note that beyond the a priori not experimented, this method - in my eyes attractive - is however little used. That was the point of my question.
It suits me all the better as my PP_37 is 7 km from my apartment; therefore it is easier for me to monitor my bottles without moving around. This is a big advantage for me. Then, we transplant directly as you described it. Last point, I am looking more for pleasure than for self-sufficiency and efficiency; suddenly the point of view and the "convictions" are not the same ... Last year, I was satisfied with 8 feet of tomatoes. That is to say...
I intend to continue the experience this year especially since I went from 50 to 75m2 of hay.
Kind regards.
