Thank you for ‘how to grow veg’ video for us in the sub-tropics ❤

I am interested in the ibc setup the tomatoes are growing in.Are they wicking beds.?

[@lizxu322]

I am crying because I bought fancy heirloom tomato seeds off the internet and they all grew weak and yellow but the hybrid truss seeds I got from the supermarket tomato are growing like weeds😂

Herbs was prescribed by God himself but we choose to ignore checkout diseases that could be cured !!

[@huggy-Bear]

Interesting.. is it just me or do some of these tips go against previous GA tomato videos? For example the one done by Tino a few years ago.

[@inabates8919]

The whole point of gardening in Australia is to garden for your area! The end game is always what grows best where you are, look around take advice of the old growers etc, GA is only an advisory. 🤷‍♀️

Yes I'm certain Brisbane would be EXACTLY the same as Tasmania! 🤭

I had no problem with tomatoes in summer but winter I gave up fast

[@pukavita]

Would tomato plants get can canker or other diseases if they are grown in greenhouse or indoors?

[@GardeningAustralia]

Tomatoes can get canker disease anywhere, if it’s already present in the seeds, seedlings, or brought in on tools and stakes 😔 It does spread much easier in a warm, humid greenhouse than outdoors, so balancing ventilation is key! Thanks for watching!

no manure?

Why dolomite rather than gypsum? If anyone knows, please tell me! This guy puts dolomite in everything, but I find the change in soil pH it creates can negatively impact my vegies which prefer slightly acidic soils. Gypsum has calcium just like dolomite, along with sulphur which is also important for metabolism and protein synthesis. Is it just because this dude has acidic garden soil, or is there a reason dolomite is better?

[@GardeningAustralia]

You can definitely use gypsum instead, which won't change the pH. Jerry's preference is dolomite to increase pH slightly and add magnesium, which many Aussie soils are deficient in. Which one you choose really depends on your specific soil type & pH so it's worth testing first. Here's an explainer from Jerry: www.abc.net.au/gardening/how-to/consider-calcium/12906412 🍅Thanks for watching!

[@anserbauer309]

@@GardeningAustralia Thanks so much for your reply. Very helpful. I'd not seen that segment before and now realise that the advice I've seen Jerry previously give is somewhat specific to soils like his. I have heavy clay soils which pH test between 6 and 7 throughout the orchard and garden areas. I have a lot of natives and proteas that prefer more acidic soils, along with berries and fruit trees that also perform better in those conditions. I use natural gypsum for the fruit & veg, and granular for the lawns in the orchard (which are also grazed by poultry) to help break down the clay, add calcium and maintain the pH.

Naming countries in Milton is totally irrelevant to this video.
