Urban Gardening

^Ganda ng shots! Ang lamig sa mata

Question: ano ba dapat ang ginagamit na lupa? May mga binili ako na potted plants na rice hull ang lupa, yung iba coco peat o coconut coir.

Depende sa halaman, but generally soil mix na may magandang drainage. Yung may halong soil, compost, and a bit of grit (e.g. tiny pebbles like pumice).

Add oregano to the list of herbs. Mosquito repellant, ambilis tumubo, medicinal, and masarap ihalo ang dried leaves sa adobo. :aprub:

Based on experience, ok gamitin ang coco peat-coco coir mix for germinating seeds- yan kasi yung ginamit ko noon when I planted basil. Since it’s loose and airy, nae-encourage nito ang root growth ng seedlings, para more chances of winning kapag nilipat mo na yung seedling sa soil, or sa bigger pot. :jumping:

Daming nahihilig sa plants na friends ko. As in namimili sila ng worth 5k up.

Natry kong mag-alaga ng succulents last year na binili ko sa Baguio. Namatay silang lahat :frowning:

Yung neighboring complex may competition ata sa rooftop for urban garden during this pandemic. Third building looking good.

We have quite a bit of resources ranging from planting to growing to detecting plant diseases and how to address them. We are also strengthening our urban gardening segment right now so I guess this is the perfect time to ask your gardening questions through our FB page. :hugs:

I just ordered 3 SNAP Hydroponics kits from a photographer friend. Lalamove later.

I have an aquaponics set up but it is so hard to balance plant growing and fish growing conditions. I already have new tilapia fingerlings and plan to separate them into a aquaponics setup and just a barrel aquaculture setup.

For the SNAP hydroponics, hoping to grow some lettuce. More miss ako than hits with lettuce in aquaponics… I hope mabuhay ko sila.

Di ko rin alam, baka panget lang sa growbed yung kangkong ko. Yung kangkong sa soil na tinanim ni Mi parang pareho lang.

Sa fish tank ako naglagay ng kangkong kahapon, experiment kung lalaki. Pero baka di rin kasi kainin ng tilapia yung roots.

Kangkong. Itutusok mo lang and mabubuhay na siya. Di maarte basta nadidiligan lagi. Super sipag mag produce ng new leaves

Im no green thumb but I do love the idea of a backyard garden and a small herb garden by the kitchen window sill. Daming beses na ako namatayan pero sige pa rin. :joy:

I have several pots of kalamansi I’m growing right now panregalo sa mga Pinot friends this Christmas. Hubby and I have been growing them from seedlings for 3 years now. They’ve been indoors for the winter.

Mga anak sila ng mother tree na to (given to us). Medyo naninilaw na sya. It spent the whole winter in the garage. Minsan lang makatikim ng sunlight kaya siguro ganyan.

Eto naman my fledgling veg garden. Tomatoes, kangkong, talbos ng kamote, cabbage. There were green onions, malunggay and rosemary before but they’ve since died.

One of our growing papayas (with make shift harang para di masira ng dogs)

A couple of our long-awaited guyabano fruits (we bought a graftling). Ilang taon din bago mamunga. Sana magtuloy at di kami maunahan ng mga ibon o paniki
