Hello everyone. I’m a novice gardener that has been learning so much. As a mental health therapist, I always prefer solo projects and I am finding gardening is the one that has superseded my expectations. It allows me to create, learn, provide community, and I definitely get to eat the fruit of my labor. I’m excited to be a part of this community. One burning I do have is, what can I do or use to for prevention of bad bugs. I know I won’t avoid them totally, but whatever I can do will be helpful. Happy Grower, Sharise

Hello, what is the difference of Activated Biochar and Biochar? I have worm castings already is the biochar needed? How often and how much to use if I am adding to homemade compost? Or potted plants and how often?

Looking forward to creating my plant community..

Hello fellow plant lovers! So excited to be part of a growing (pun intended!) community.

Hello, Anyone growing a persimmon tree in a pot? If so, what is your ratio for plant juice/bloom juice per gallon of water? I have a fuyu persimmon in a 15 gallon pot. Trying to tweak mine. I was giving 4 gallon of water once a week with 4oz of elm dirt plant juice. It grew tall like 6ft and put on 17 fruit but they only reached mid size and fell off. Could be because the tree was 3-4yrs old. Any insight?
