Trying Organics With Better Organix

[Moto]

Are you growing the seeds for rootstock? Those are some healthy leaves. This is the way to do it, if you have a few extra years and don't mind a large (standard) apple tree without dwarfing rootstock. Interestingly enough with germinating apple seeds you never know what you are bound to get when they grow out (often gnarly or sour), but you can take those rootstocks and graft scion from a known tasty apple tree a few weeks before they come out of dormancy in the spring.

Definitely possible to find the next honeycrisp gem from seed though.....thats what

I am growing for root stock and planting loads of them to restore some land with other plants and testing of course. :D I will be monitoring them in the outdoor conditions and helping them when they are young and as needed. Worst case scenario I have plans to do a grafting onto them with some of my current Fruit Tree's. I am hoping for some gems, but I can always find a use for them. :D I will update my journal of course when the time comes to hopefully help some others in the process. :)

Thank you so much for the info and hope everything is great your way friend. :) I love Honeycrisp apples also. :D

now after all that data, I will show you some foliar treated plants that have had some or all of the above treatments, perhaps not on all, but across the various strains :)

Wouldn't expect much less from someone with your skills brother. Absolutely stunning photographs and I love the simplicity and beauty. Those plants have exploded and I love the setup as usual. :D Been doing any cooking lately with some local harvests?

Thanks for sharing and hope you have a good weekend. :D

thanks bro :-)

damn eco you garden has taken over your yard,,lol hell just 2 weeks ago wasnt that blown up,,,,hey love the shot of sun and moon with beauty of plants,,picture perfect,,i love that bed,,and gonna replicate it when i get settled,,got to be bigger,,lol mama was just talking about the strawberry plants yesterday,,i still havent got them in soil,,lmao

ha yeah bigger would be better for me too. I just took over an allotment here also to give me more room for growing food. Gives me another 5 wide and 20 long to use (thats metres)

Hey buddy,

Thanks for swinging in and I will follow up on my personal reasoning and opinion on some of the benefits I see from BOX Foliars. :)

Indoors

Here is a good example of when I Foliar Indoors and see beyond great results that could never of been done otherwise. In my previous testing of clones which I will share soon. I am able to get amazing growth rates and health of plants right after initial root spikes of clones. Still in testing of course but as of right now I am able to top my clones and see great growth and health of plant before I can even see initial roots in solo cup after coming out of humidity dome. Time is precious to me since I can spend that with my family or other current things going on in life. Happy Girls= Happy Life for me. :D

Outdoors

In America we have seen some crazy storm systems this year for Outdoor Farmers/Growers. With Foliars I can save crops or keep them in best health possible during heavy storm systems since you are unable to do any drench applications. I haven't been able to water my outdoor Container Mafia in a long time because of storm system. They have been waterlogged and I haven't been able to give them any feeding in a long time due to this. I am able to keep the plants growing and for the most part healthy with Foliar Applications. :D

In bigger applications on growing/farming Foliar can be a life saver since no one likes to lose there crops and mostly not when you have acres and it's your income for your family. Instead of the normal drench applications as most people think we can do Foliars to save crops of vegetables/fruits etc and also increase there Growth/Health during horrible outdoor conditions. WaterLogged Media, Tropical Storms salt, Young Plants, Bad Environment Conditions etc. :D

Root Exudates and Foliar Applications

It has now been demonstrated conclusively that application of certain compounds to leaves affects the quantity and types of exudates. The use of Foliar sprays to modify root exudation has important implications in the fields of plant nutrition, root hygiene, and control of plant-plant interactions. Thus, we have before us an exciting field of study involving the combined efforts of plant physiologists, microbiologists, and soil scientists.

While we are on this topic this is a way for you to think of Foliars actually helping the plant in the long run not only on a short term. There is a whole world on the surface of the leave with biology that we are just starting to explore into. We as growers/researchers are learning new things everyday. I hope to be able to help people along the way since we all want to grow the best plants possible and I am willing to test and share. I hope this helps some of you'll on understanding why I do certain things and the benefits I see. Whether it be Pest Preventative/ Increased Growth Rates/ Frostier and Stinkier Cannabis/ Best Tasting Vegetables/Fruits possible. :D

@Ecompost if you have anything you would like to add feel free to. :D

Sharing Is Caring and feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to help or reach out for an answer

nah pretty much covered it there buddy, plants take a remarkable amount of resource from some pretty unexpected places, the roots, the stems, the leaves all play a role.

And to add, all that rain, it is now thought that the larger percentage of rain, hail and snow is actually stimulated or seeded by bacteria, in particular pseudomonas syringae. What is incredible is that this microbe is a plant pathogen. But this simple truth might help explain why and how we get molds after rain and storms.
It might just be possible that bacteria make it rain to complete a cycle of life. How about that?

Feel free to show off some of those pictures of your local nature. Would love to see if you get time. Thanks for your kind comments as always

Not much to show here living in the city. But here is some of my garden and tree already yellowing.

Cheers!

all my beds are anti bending beds LOL Anyways, I got like 6 tonnes of compost in this little garden so I got me some roots that go on for like 3-4 ft straight down in places man, even my lawn grass roots are 16 inches now

i put all that rock dust out yesterday and found that all my boxes havent compacted ,these last 2 grows ,,was glad to see that,lol that box beside has grass that has grown threw 2 cardboard boxes and up threw 12in soil and i been harvesting that lately,,there was a new grass they showed on tv here that roots grow to 4ft under soil and grass is pretty much no watering,,without sunlight on yard that done help me

 

[Ecompost]

mice, but we got loads of hawks round here man so numbers are low considering the proximity to the countryside. We also have feral cats out the back that live in a grave yard, they really help us out. The strawberries are getting moved this is the worst crop for bringing in pests imo, so now I have taken some old guttering and will plant them in these, I can suspend them so the fruit is well off the floor. I have 2x 3m lengths but I might stack them so making 6 overall runs. I havent set it up as wont bother now till next year

I never water my lawn mate, it does suffer a little but its getting better every year. I run a thatch eater I make over it in early spring, just as the soil warms, then I made two applications of nutrients one with Bio Veg early summer, one with iNitiate late summer, then another thatch eater tea in the fall. Each time i used BBM to help compaction and reduce thatching overall

thats what I had in mind, I got a 7ft fence, its a proper fence too, not a toy ones like they have here. We made it ourselves so its solid man, it would take a whole lot of weight
