  Hi, green materials don't have as long of a 'shelf life', as they usually decompose fairly quickly in warm temps. The exception is coffee grounds from starbucks. Those can sit in the bags they come in for a long time (weeks). Most starbucks give them out, but it is best to call before you just show up.

  Thank you for making this so simple! Only question I have with any compost pile is how do you ensure that heat build-up doesn’t ignite into a fire? Is there a concern or danger of this?

• 
  @growitbuildit6 сағат бұрын

  Hi - it is possible to catch fire if the pile is very large (more than 6' diameter) and the inner temperature reaches 160 or 165F. What basically happens is bacteria stop, but chemical reactions with high activation energy take over, and create a feedback loop that just runs away. Inner temps can reach combustion levels, and after water evaporates, smoldering can start. I go into detail about this topic in this video here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4tnp5iupsjbhLQ.html

  Looks like you have 2 pests. The squash bugs you show in the video, but then also the squash vine borer which you don't see in the video but their damage you showed in the stalk of the plant. The borer shows up when a funny looking black and red moth lay eggs on the plant. Looks more like a bee than moth. The larvae from those eggs bore into your squash hollowing out the inside as they eat their way to adulthood. If you see them they look like a maggot. Squash vine borers are the worst. They destroy the entire plant quickly

  Picked pods end of March. I soaked in boiling water on April 11. Sewed in potting soil a couple days later. Placed outside. Lots of germination by May 7. First little heart shaped leaves appearing now, a week later. How big should they be before transplanting into their own pot? Thanks so much for sharing your tip!

• 
  @growitbuilditКүн бұрын

  That is awesome you got so much germination. For separating seedlings, with trees, I do it fairly early. If you even begin to see a single true leaf (heart shaped) you can separate them. When you separate, you are disturbing the roots, so make sure you keep it in shade for several days after separating to allow the roots to reattach themselves to soil.

  First, thank you for all of this awesome information! Next, I’m in North Texas and I ran across a (15gal) Texas Redbud today at Tractor Supply. I’m thinking strongly about going back to purchase it first thing tomorrow morning. My concern is the spot that I’m placing it in because I planted a Yoshino Cherry Tree there a few weeks back and it’s already dead. I have heavy clay soil and I conditioned the spot with pine bark mulch to help with drainage and planted it 3 inches above the soil line but it still died. I’m wondering if I purchase the Redbud, should I plant it even higher and build up the soil around it? -Calvin

• 
  @growitbuilditКүн бұрын

  Hi Calvin - good draining soil is really important for this tree, and clay is prone to not draining. I should note that if your house is somewhat new, you may just have compacted soil. But, drainage is absolutely key for this tree. I would suggest you test it - kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6J6qNpxo9W4hdY.html Also, to improve the drainage of the entire area you could try top dressing the lawn/area with compost, and then leaf mulch (mowed up) each fall. Overtime it would add organic manner to the soil, which will slowly, but surely improve the drainage of the whole space. You don't want to just fix drainage in one small area, as you may just create a 'bowl' where all the water wants to go.

  How did the container in the ground experiment work out?

• 
  @growitbuilditКүн бұрын

  I'm planning to make an update to it this year, but in short, it worked really well. I may have had an escapee last year, but this year nothing has sprouted. So, it may not have been 100% full-proof, but it did a good enough job to slow it down about 99%. There is one problem though - the pots constrain the root system. As such, they can't draw water from as much area as they normally would. So, I need to provide supplemental water during the growing season.

• 
  @growitbuildit2 күн бұрын

  Hi - rain will not ruin it at all. Just know that as your pile decomposes, it will compress on itself. As this happens, air is squeezed out of the pile. This is what happens when people say that the 'pile is too wet', as the water cannot drain. So, after heavy rains, just go turn the pile thoroughly to reaerate it. You'll be good to go.

  I'm fighting swamp milkweed, the wider leaf, that I planted last year. It has created runners and are spreading everywhere in my garden. When I purchased the seeds online it didn't say that it was invasive. I only planted 3! It's as bad as the spearmint, that I should have never planted. The spearmint has been there for years. It won't die. Die spearmint. Die. lol I'm shoveling and troweling the milkweed up. The roots are very deep and I can't always get the rhizome. I live in ID that has monarchs, our state butterfly, and I want to provide them with something to produce on. Thanks

  Hi, I love aster too. I have one plant a New England aster. I live in south wales U.K. I don’t have problem with seeds germinating in my flower bed but I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of aster popping up 4 to 5 feet away from the mother plant, through rhizomes. I pull one plant and the rhizomes has 5 feet long. Is that normal? I thought they won’t grow well because my garden only 3 to 4 hours sun.

• 
  @growitbuildit3 күн бұрын

  New England Asters are strange - most references say it won't produce rhizomes, although I've found that one type (I gathered seed locally) does spread via rhizomes. The leaves look the same (nearly wrapping around the stalk). But the ones I grew years ago from purchased seed are only clump forming. It might just be a genetic variation.
