8 AWESOME TIPS for direct-sowing SUCCESS in the GREENSTALK!

[@160Days2Lose2]

I just love all of your videos! 😍 I’m particularly obsessed with the Greenstalk content since I’m a new owner of two. I remember you said you grew a cantaloupe in one before. Did you make a video on it? I remember seeing a picture in a prior video, but wondered if there was a dedicated video on it. If not, would you possibly do one in the future? 🙏🏾

Thanks for watching my videos 🧡! Yes, I grew the largest, sweetest cantaloupe ever in one of my GreenStalks. Did not make a dedicated video, unfortunately, just shared progress updates when I was making other GreenStalk videos. I don't think I did anything special other than fertilize regularly, installed irrigation (which was a game changer in my GreenStalks) and I did trellis it. Not sure if there is a formula here, but I will try again next year and record a video, because you asked 💚💚💚

Thank you for sharing this video. Please continue the GreenStalk series. I learn something new with each video.

You bet I will! So glad you are enjoying the videos and finding them useful!

These are good tips. I wish I had seen your video sooner. Yesterday, I went out and planted one tier in my mom's GreenStalk. She let me use a tier from her GreenStalk for my own plants. 🙂

@@trobinson89 thanks for your comment and kind words. So nice of your Mom to share a tier with you! What did you plant?

[@trobinson89]

You're welcome! Yes, it was nice of her. :) I planted Shogoin turnip, cilantro, lemon balm, celeriac, and I already had a Blue Spice basil plant in one of the pockets from the summer.

@@trobinson89 that's an awesome selection!

Yes please tell me what that trellis is and where I can get one! Thanks!

[@GreenLove1]

That's a Texas Tomato Cage - you can do an internet search for the company. They are the best tomato cages you can buy - extremely sturdy and fit well in the GreenStalk. Not terribly cheap, but very high quality. I was lucky to get them second-hand from a generous neighbor!

@@GreenLove1 Thank you! Yes they look like they were made for the Greenstalk!

[@GreenLove1]

@@Ladybug-1954 ha ha, maybe GreenStalk should do some kind of collaboration with them. I used them for some pretty large climbing plants in summer, and they held up quite well!

[@160Days2Lose2]

@@GreenLove1Thank you for the info. I planted peas in my top tier and didn’t realize they need a trellis. I will look into this! 🙌🏾

[@GreenLove1]

@160Days2Lose2 peas definitely need something to climb on but does not need to be too elaborate...a bamboo cane or something similar, about 3 ft tall, is sufficient!
