Why are the support sticks tilted? Do you connect them with string later? Thanks.
@DaveGillamDahlias4 күн бұрын
Yes 2 more are added then tied around. Next video will show more. Tilted as plants get wider as they get taller.

Hi Dave wonder could you tell me how much water should I give my plants and how often should I feed and with what,I saw monty on tv a few days back he says seaweed liquid is good for them, whats your thoughts . My plants leaves are not dark green like yours,thanks
@DaveGillamDahlias13 күн бұрын
a good water a couple of times a week, maybe 3 if its very hot. Feed every one to two weeks and Seaweed is fine for this time of the year then use a Tomato feed when the buds start forming.

Hi dave ive got to grow some dahlias for my daughter's wedding on september 21st ive planted out 180 plants mainly exhibition varieties, do you think i would need to cover them like you do incase of rain ect spoiling the blooms? Also just wondered what spacing is the posts are on the cover, and do you have to concrete them in or just firm soil around them, i have 3x3 fence posts are they ok, also when does the cover need to go on like how long before picking? Many thanks, realky enjoy your videos 👍

What straw should I be looking for Dave? I'm a little worried about bringing in a bunch of seed.
@DaveGillamDahlias15 күн бұрын
Barley straw is best. You may get some barley growing, but is easy to pull out.

currently building a minature version for in my greehouse for setting my onions away during the winter months. how has yours held up? did you need to steak it sown for the winter winds? looks like you would get alot of water and snow sitting on that lid shame you couldnt have done a tiny apex in the middle
@DaveGillamDahliasАй бұрын
It's only for a few weeks protection in the spring so snow not a problem. The lid up most the time and side fixed the stakes in the ground.

Thank you for being so generous with your videos. Re cuttings, have you thought about using an aero garden to start cutting? I have had unexpected success in rooting. However, I think there will be some transplant shock going from a hydroponic environment to soil.
@DaveGillamDahliasАй бұрын
@jhc839 generally get 99.9 percent on rooting, just one family that is always a pain at the time you want them. Root like weeds between January and March then say nope in April. I think it's a day length thing with them.

Once you grasp some of the terms we use, it makes it easier.
Dave! Haven't you heard of "no dig"? it's SO much easier and you'd get better plant growth. Good luck for an excellent season! I pulled out my unwanted dahlias yesterday (no good for cut flowers) - I now get to pick up 6 newies.
@DaveGillamDahlias2 ай бұрын
After 35 years in horticulture professionally and exhibition growing, i have heard of "no dig". Trust me if it produced a better plant and flower than my existing methods i would be doing it. But in reality 400 plants grown 21-24" apart and when lifted you dig a 18" hole to get the tubers safely out there isn't much left to not dig. As a exhibitor of any specialist plant, they would always choose to do the best way not the easiest.
