Planting Up Containers - Deciding What Flowers to Use - Live from the Greenhouse series
Question I've had for a while, is it possible to burn your plants if you're watering at the correct flow rate? My worry is if a plant is especially thirsty, it will get more fertilizer and accidentally burn the plant.
Do u trust it ? Like do u trust it over dema etc I know you’re saying they don’t break down but do they mix correctly ?
We have had very good luck with them in our 5 greenhouses and they get a workout. So yes, we do trust them.
What should I do with the opposite problem! It's been and will continue to be sweltering hot here-in the 100s. How do I keep my beautiful baskets of petunias from cooking?
You will have to water more often and be vigilant of their care in the heat. That's what we have to do in our greenhouses this time of year when it starts to really get hot. Our back greenhouses can easily go over 130 degrees and we are watering multiple times a day just to keep the soil moist.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to visit us at www.BeatYourNeighbor.com 🙂
Hi, Do you ever add EZ Wet to your fertilizer? I just got EZ Wet, and I am trying to figure out how much to put in a gallon. Thanks.
No, we haven't tried that product.
For existing plantings ONE tbsp EZ Wet per 5 gallons. For new plantings 2 tbs per 4-5 gallons of EZ Wet
Watching from Farmington Hills, Michigan. Timely video I was becoming so frustrated with all types of bugs. THANKS👍
Thank you!
Does it kill grass
Yes it does.
Should I cut this back if it’s getting too big?
Yes, if you need to trim it back to a manageable size.
Is it ok to trim my impatiens that have been planted since late April?
You can if needed.
Can I trim my impatiens that have been planted since late April!
Yes
I saved the recipe in hopes to one day have the time to make it . I Love strawberry’s 🍓
It is delicious!
Have a good go at this.
Beautiful❤
Thank you! 😊
Watching from Lowell, IN
Thank you for watching!
I love them. So beautiful😊
Thank you! 😊
Looks Yummy!
It is!
Can I cut down Vincas????
Yes, you can.
I watch from Washington State, you can shipping any products to my State?
At this time we cannot ship our BYN.
I have hanging baskets that were GORGEOUS, following your advice on watering and fertilizing. I live in southeastern WI. We have had a lot of rain over the past few days and my plants received too much water and they look awful. Will they come back?
They should if they can dry down and get back into a normal routine of watering and fertilizing.
The only thing i have against this video is the picture of the "weeds" you show. It is actually purslane. Very good for you.
My impatient baskets were gorgeous. Got up and half the baskets were all sloped over. What could it be?
Not sure on that?
In the philippines we called magic rose😂❤
Good to know. Thank you.
Hi Scott! Faithful watcher from Norwalk, Iowa (Des Moines area). I was so happy to see that I can now get your Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer delivered to our state. Last year I had to have it delivered to a family member over in Illinois and then pick it up when we would go back for visits. Your fertilizer has been a game changer for our flowers!
Awesome! Thank you!
Today's video shows a front porch that I would love to chillax on all day with a best friend 😊
Yes! And I think you know that porch with a friend don't you, lol.
Not all this stuff works. This is a horrible year for bugs. Plus I have every flower and plant known to man for butterflies, hummingbirds and bees and this year so far they are scarce. I don't know what is going on.
You read my mind as my supertunias are over run with aphids 😭 most informational video I’ve found thank you !
Glas we could help!
Hey I live in Canada and cant find any of these products do you know any other products like these that I could get in Canada? Also Ive always wanted to try your fertilizer are you guys gonna ship to Canada in the future. P.S Love the Videos
Great products! Always use them and they are great! Watching from Houston, Texas
Thanks for watching!
Watch from Greencastle, Indiana 😊
Thank you for watching!
Are these going to effect the good bugs
Watching from southern Michigan!
Thank you for following us!
Two questions... are these products harmful to bees, butterflies and good insects? Secondly, you didn't mention slugs or earwigs. Does it work on them?
I watching from Montreal/ Quebec /Canada... I really enoy listening to you, very helpful :))
What varieties are behind your left shoulder? I really like the look of the two tones of purple and the hot pink hanging basket above it. I'm thinking those three colors would look great in one container :)
Blue Springs,Missouri
You can find these products at our website here: www.BeatYourNeighbor.com/shop/
Thanks, I'll check it out!
As a hairdresser, l have no problem during the first cut! It gives light to the tiny growth near the dirt line also. People laugh at me, but when my flowers are still blooming in October.....You are very smart at your Greenhouse! I wish l lived near you! 😊
Hi what fertilizer do I use? Miracle grow?
Our Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer produces awesome results! You can find it at www.BeatYourNeighbor.com
I bought a on clearance million bells hanging basket. I cut everything back, fed it, now starting to turn yellow, still flowering though
Try fertilizing at least 2-3 times a week to see if it will green up and fill in the foliage. The ph could be off too.
I had the same geraniums for over 20 years. I would bring them in during winter and treat like a house plant, this year they finally passed away 😢 it was like losing an old time friend..now I got new ones..i love them in the winter I enjoy flowers I'm my house
I love to dead head 😂
Love this channel..❤
Hello! I usually plant begonias in ceramic pots and place them on my front porch, which has a shaded area. This year, I noticed that the flower petals are turning crispy brown. I am unsure if it is related to watering, as I am very careful not to overwater them. Do you have any advice? Thanks!!
I don't know if you have done this already, please let me know if you have, but could you make a video on how to make your own hanging baskets that look as great as your's do? I can't make mine as full as your's! They are beautiful!
We recently did do a video on making up hanging baskets here: ua-cam.com/video/aHXFp7j3avk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
really enjoyed bthis video- learned some new info and the volume was great- so much better with the mic on- thanks !!
Glad you liked it!
When you take the plant out of the plastic pot, set the plant down and put the pot inside the larger pot. Make sure it sits low enough into the pot so the plant will be at the correct level. Then while the little pot is still in the big pot fill the space between the pots with your potting mix. Then remove the plastic pot and you should have the exact space and size to pop your plant into. Voila!
Thanks
How many for a 18inch basket. What color combo for a purple theme?
Do you ever put gravel at the bottom of the pot to prevent the drainage hole from getting clogged? We have an issue with grass growing in our hanging plants. Would you recommend orthos grass b gone to control grass and weed growth or do you have other suggestions?
Question? Hanging baskets are dry, yet the water runs straight through. What should I do?
They have an older video that shows when that happens you just water a little at a time until it holds the water. Maybe water a little bit then come back in an hour and water some more. Keep repeating that until it feels heavy.
