[@trishdavi7049]

From your opposing stance on using magnesium in gardening I would like to see you challenge or even discuss with other professional gardeners, not just hackers, this topic. There are several videos supporting it's use and some of us with decades of experience have discovered, combined with consistent hydration, phenomenal results reversing or preventing blossom end rot..An experiment with that random pear shaped tomato that doesn't taste good? Supplement with some Epsom salts to the side of the container it's in...it's not randomly spreading it to your whole landscape grounds when in a container. You might reconsider and add some to your in ground tomato row to result in less yellowing of the leaves. Some people add salt to raw fresh sliced tomatoes when they eat them. If the tomato grown has enough nutrients in the soil it's flavour doesn't need enhancing. Dehydrated powdered egg shells and banana peels, a teaspoon of each mixed together added to the planting hole then once a month as a top dressing on the soil mulch...this is my favorite one homegrown hack you could try. When pruning suckers of tomatoes, root them easily in water or in moist soil, either way, most will take, so you have exact clones of the parent plant to try this comparison on.

I like these types of debunking videos as a fairly new gardener. There are too many of these misinformation videos floating around out there, so it definitely helps us that are still learning! PS. Bought two of your Birdies beds that I will be officially planting in this year. I’m super excited! Thanks for all your info and dedication. 💜

It's disinformation, since 5 minute crafts knows that it's all bullshit. It would be misinformation if they didn't know. Also they don't care that all their tips are fake and they don't care who gets hurt trying to replicate. They only care about the money they make.

Great video! I've started apples from seed. I rinse the seeds, place them on a damp paper towel, put that in a zipper bag, and leave it in the fridge for a month or until I see growth. No, you might not get true to type or even edible apples, but what I got was a great pollinator for my nursery-purchased apple trees as well as a wonderful draw for all types of Bees. The blooms are amazing and they started when the tree was 4 years old. The bitter, little apples shrivel on the tree and then the cardinals and other wild birds eat them. I've planted several other apple seedlings around my yard to draw pollinators and feed wildlife.

[@baddriversofcolga]

I think more people should plant apples from seed, especially with known parentage. Skillcult is a great channel to watch for apple breeding/grafting/training/etc., and he sells seeds and scions as well. And if you end up with apples that aren't good you can always graft other varieties onto that tree.

[@Kendergurl]

Hi Rose! Thank you so much for your interesting comment. You've inspired me to try and grow my own apple seeds. I know that there are plenty of wild birds around here that would love a little apple treat. I hope I can be successful and that eventually, I will get some apple blossoms. Blessings to you Rose.

[@1212LoveAgain]

Cool video. .. Can't believe Cultivated apple trees are better than home grown apple trees! Should be the same if thesameapple!.....Seen where the barks scraped off a branch exposing bare damp wood [right word?].., next a ball with soils wrapped around the exposed bare branch area soon roots are growing in the soil in a ball. Some ad showed a plastic ball which clips shut on a skinned branch. Perhaps a tennis ball or a ziploc bag with soil or any recepticle staying in the scraped area will suffice. like juice box nice size, or plastic recycling of many different kinds , perhaps search and see what 's the ad selling, Could be worth purchasing.

That bulb planter seems really useful if you have some sort of disabilty that would making digging the hole and filling it by hand difficult, or if you work in a garden centre and need to plant 2000 bulbs in a day so would benefit hugely from saving a few seconds per bulb.

[@fredsilva7274]

The fastest way to plant bulbs is to use a trowel. Push blade into the soil to the correct depth, tilt to a 45 degree angle, plant the bulb, remove trowel, then push soil down with the other hand. Once upon a time, I planted many 1000's of bulbs for a landscaper. Takes longer to use a bulb planter.

[@willrohde9180]

The plant protection hack is pretty close to a good way of transporting houseplants when moving house etc. If you wrap the plant and pot in a cone of fairly stiff paper you can pack a whole load of them in an open top box and they should be fine in the back of a moving van.

[@TheMurlocKeeper]

@@ColeSpolaric - probably one of the "light" ones that no one uses, lol! Otherwise, those things are damn expensive! You would NOT use a tampon for anything so trivial! Btw..I highly recommend using silicone menstrual cups. I've used one for a few years now, and let me tell you, they're WAY better than tampons! While initially expensive, they last about 5-10 years, and don't dry you out like a tampon will. There's also almost no risk of toxic shock syndrome, and I find them so much cleaner too! They will also tend to hold a hell of a lot more, so unless you have a REALLY gusher of a day, lol..you can wear one all day, and just change it in the shower. Oh yeah...and you can wear a cup for twice as long as a tampon, no probs...(like up to 12hrs) unless you have the above issue of a heavy day or two, in which case, you just back it up with a pad or something. Please consider trying a cup out, whatever brand you go with. (there's lots!) I promise it'll change your life! Pair it up with some period underwear (like Modi Bodi) and your period will almost become a non-event! I've also found that since using these products and steering COMPLETELY away from synthetic throw-aways, that my cycle has become VERY short, like easily less than a week, (like 4-5 days) and cramping and such has been an absolute minimum! Maybe with this in mind, that "hack" IS a good use for tampons, lol! They're honestly terrible things!

[@mollusc3125]

@@TheMurlocKeeper love this advice! I’ve been using a cup for years, but have been using them with pantyliners/pads as a “just in case” measure - I have adhd and can sometimes get caught out if I forget my cup 🤦🏽‍♀️ Never thought to use them with period underwear instead! Way friendlier to the environment AND the bank balance!

So the pineapple thing gives a much faster crop if you cut the crown down the middle and remove the bud, then plant each half lying flat. Removing of the bud makes suckers grow from the base, which are many times more vigorous. often you will also get multiple shoots which you can separate and replant.

This was actually a good idea. So many people making videos showcasing "hacks" that are actually unhealthy alternatives. Ya might be able to make a career out of correcting those hacks for a more healthier solution

Funniest thing I've seen all week. I'm still laughing at the fake plants and the apple tableau. Thanks guys

[@ashleysmith9516]

I did like the newspaper to keep the plant clean bc I don't have a lot of room to work with esp once I move, or in the winter, and it's just easier to prevent a mess than to clean it up

[@ashleysmith9516]

But I'm also rickety and sickly and lazy lmao

Thank you for the roasts. I love them!

[@moonshynegirl172]

You guys are funny with this. Thanks for the laughs and information.

Though you may not get what you expect from grocery stores when it comes to apples it feels so good to grow a tree from seed especially one that can produce food. They don't have to look good they just gotta be edible for me. I currently have 3 apple trees

[@AlbuquerqueBandit]

LOLLLL "i have no words for that, that's not a PROBLEM" my feelings exactly.

The mini-grate is used for planting in hydroponics in Australia.

Budding is like a pre preped seed gooes into an another plants steam. Graphting is with wedges or shaving and farmers tape it will become more like a parasite there are some cases of it becoming a diffrent item such as (orange and grapefruit). I know several graphers who get potatos and tomato plants together to have one crop that grows both.

To get the trunk to bend like that naturally, just make it uneven. Prop up one side to tilt the tree, after a year tilt it the other way. The trunk will always correct itself and grow directly upwards, causing the bend trunk.

Love the video!!! So funny! I love your balloon heads!! Keep ‘em coming!!

For the tampon one: If you feel you've overwatered, just put your plant on a towel for like 5 minutes and the excess will drain out onto something meant to clean up water. Tampons are disgustingly expensive and we shouldn't be wasting them on plant "hacks"

[@azpeach5680]

Bahahahahaha!!!! This was the greatest ever!!! I can’t wait for more roasts! (& the great thing is I still learned a lot!)

[@truthtalker4038]

I was eating an apple a few weeks ago, and there were 2 seeds sprouted inside the apple. I put them in soil, and a tree started growing.

[@Tminus89]

Yeah...I'll keep both my Dracaena's straight, thanks 😋 Winding it around something can look nice, but I guess I prefer a more natural look
