    My worry is I have citrus here in the uk, but need to protect them in winter, one of the 3 died this winter- I just don’t know how best to do it. Can you help at all? I have them in containers atm as my hope was to bring them in the house over winter if I needed to- obviously I should have! As one died. Should I keep them in containers and bring them in or do I plant them in the front garden and try get better protection for them, that’s the first thing.

    Nice video Marty. Have you ever tried to do a multi-grafted citrus with lemon, lime, and mandarin? I did a lemon and lime at my old place but couldn't move it to the new one. I've got a mature grafted lemon that's a bit ugly, and I'd like to make a multi-tree by cutting it back and grafting to it. Cheers!

    Marty thanks for the video i guess its important to monitor the grafting and make sure the Root stock doesn't become dominate again. I think I had this situation with a Glen mango I left unattended for a few months something happen to it died back over winter and now its flourished from a lower part of the young trunk so vigorous I think the Kensington or Root stock has taken over. to make the root stock visible for life do you think its important in the first few years to spray paint the graft or wrap a ribbon sometimes I'm blind as bat in the garden and cant judge what a graft looks like.

  • @martysgarden

Coles flower containers, especially the long ones they use to sell flowers are something you can use and drill the bigger holes like in sub pod drill some small holes what you don’t bury add a lid or a standard pot 200mm that will allow easy airflow and to put in scraps. Put 3 in each raised beds in the middle.

    Uh huh, you bought up an interesting topic! I learned the hard way that the juice coming into the worm catcher tray at the bottom is in fact leachate and not worm tea/fertilizer. However, I was always wondering if you could just run a bucket of water through the worm farm and collect the end result to use as fertilizer. And you showed us we can :) Cool bonus tip to run it through a few times too.

  • @martysgarden
    @martysgarden15 күн бұрын

    You’re very welcome. There are some worm liquid fertilizer companies that keep the worm drench system secret. They use huge vats of oxygenated water to pass through castings before bottling. The best companies allow the water to also pass over the worm skin to pick up even more microbes! It has to the pass through castings quickly to be considered a drench
