I have not tried coco coir but mine were grown in peat moss and I have never had any problem with it.

Best wishes!

I can only give you general advice without seeing it. 1) Dont let it dry out or over water (wet soil will drown the roots - they need some air). 2) Shade from direct sunlight until the roots have established and they are able to get water and nutrients to the leafs. Best wishes and good luck.

​@LearnHow2 thank you that's good to know we have been watering quite a lot during this heat but will reduce . Its in a semi shaded spot. Appreciate your advice. Best wishes

Thank you for your comment. Do you have experience of copper tape working? what was your set up. I have repeated the experiment in this video ruclips.net/video/nfplndeN3P8/видео.html trying to make it more like a real life plant pot situation -- and it still fails! Best wishes.

Thank you too! Best wishes.

Thank you for your tip. I will try that next year.

Glad you liked it!

You're welcome!

Glad I could help!

All the best!

I would wait. The tall grass will deprive the smaller plant of light and nutrients.

@@LearnHow2 thank you so much ❤️

That's so good to hear! I love it when children take an interest in gardening.

Generally with most plants, cutting out the growing tip promotes side shoots.

I've tried the two tape method - see my video ruclips.net/video/nfplndeN3P8/видео.html

@@LearnHow2 Hmmm, thanks. I've been using physical barriers to deter slugs and snails so far. One simple solution is to place the plant pot on top of an upside down plant pot. That means twice as much time to catch them before any damage gets done. Another solution comes to mind, though I've not yet tried it,. . . the two tape method, combined with a repurposed solar garden light. The bulb removed and + and - terminals wired to each of the two copper bands. That's a harmless 1.5 volts. Might be just enough to deter slug from crossing. So far, I don't have enough of a slug issue to try this experiment.

you are most welcome.

You're welcome!

Sorry about that. I had trouble recording sound at the time.

About 3 or 4 months.

I have not tried this so I cant advise you - I would not want to give you incorrect info.

No. I kept mine in a bright warm room but out of direct sunlight.

Glad you like it!

glad to be of help!

I'm going to look at other herbs and will let you know.

@@LearnHow2 thank you 🦋

Did they grow ok?

@@LearnHow2 Yes thank you not sure I will get lemons but it makes a nice plant.

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you. I didnt know that.

@@LearnHow2 For a small patch a steam cleaner is feasible. I did it with my wooden fence, and it looks as new. I did not use a brush at all. It got even cleaner after a few days of drying, and they wood was really dirty. The cleaner that I have is a small steam cleaner for home use, and it works great. But I did have to refill it a couple of times. Some folks do not have a pressure washer but they might have a steam cleaner. So that gives an extra option. I would not buy a steam cleaner for that purpose, but if you already have one then it is a good option to use it for algae removal. A pressure washer is quicker. A steam cleaner uses much less water and it is not destructive for most materials, but it takes more time to clean because the nozzle is small. And I think that the energy consumption is pretty much the same. For some folks, for example homesteaders who live off grid it can make sense to save on water and to use a steam cleaner instead.

Thank you!

Best to buy organic

Sorry to hear that - I didnt know.

​@@LearnHow2 yeah... to expand on why: they are not a 'heirloom' tomato. stores sell 'hybrid' tomatoes. hybrids are a combination of two varieties of tomato, typically one with good eating characteristics and one resistant to disease. the ones developed for commercial tomato growers are heavy bearers, and very resistant to the tomato diseases that are a problem where they are grown. that’s the advantage of hybrids. the disadvantage is, you can’t save seed. the seed does not grow and produce a plant like the one it came from. if it grows at all [many hybrids are sterile] it grows into a plant more like one of its grandparents. maybe with the potential to grow big yummy tomatoes, but so vulnerable to disease the plant will die before it really gets started at all. maybe it grows just fine, but produces a million tiny tomatoes just full of seeds. whatever it does, it won’t produce anything like the tomato you bought at the store.

You said it not me.!!!!!

Thank you for your tip!

Thank you for your appreciation.

I bought the tape purely to do the experiment so wont request a refund.

Thank you for your Information. I will repeat the test with a voltage applied across the two tapes.

@@LearnHow2 The slug will move over the first tape and be repelled when it touches the second tape.

@@LearnHow2 Have the tapes about 1cm apart. To make sure the smaller slugs contact both tapes.

I have never heard of that. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your kind comment.

😂😂

I sowed early March and potted on a couple of month later.

Its magic!

Thank you! I did one - ruclips.net/video/etHlruFrGX8/видео.html but there wasnt a lot of interest in it.

@@LearnHow2 awesome, thanks, I’ll check it out! RUclips can be weird.

😂 It is difficult to keep the tomato in the centre of the shot, watch the camera monitor and not slice through my fingers!

You're welcome!

Yes well spotted! It is Los Cristianos, Tenerife.

@@LearnHow2 Yeah...unreal!!!

I sowed mine at the end of winter and planted outside late spring.

@@LearnHow2 thank you very much

😂

From my research it is a lack of calcium in the fruit most often caused by irregular watering and only occasionally through lack of calcium in the soil. Thank you for your feedback.

Caused by a lack of calcium getting INTO THE FRUIT. It's an important distinction, because it can be caused by a calcium deficiency in the soil or impairment of the plant's ability to transport calcium from the ground to the fruit. Improper watering (particularly overwatering) is probably the most likely culprit relative to a lack of calcium. Sometimes adding additional calcium can help compensate for this issue, but not always.

@@thequantaleaper Thank you for your knowledgeable explanation.

Once established outside they can be left year after year. For new young plants I would play it safe and keep them protected over winter then plant out early spring.

Thanks a lot for your reply, much appreciated👍
