very good need much better still
What kind of dumbass would grow pumpkins, except some Halloween geek
YES! Over-watering! You are so correct!!! WOW, this youtube is pretty cool!
the worst mistake is not to much water, as I use only rain water and save it till I need it.
the worst mistake is using pesticides.
I use a bug repellent for my plants.
I use wild gourd leaves and make a tea to spray on my plants. Nothing in the bug world eats wild Gourd leaves so your plants are safe.

..people make mistakes. It may not be a mistake, but someone may have a better way of doing something. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to growing vegies, but there is always someone who knows more. I am open to suggestions and trying new ways. If the new ways work better, I employ those new ways. Open minds allow us to grow and continue to learn.
I like using my insect friends to eat the bad insects. I do not use organic or chemical pesticides any more. I promote the good bugs in my garden to eat them– or use safe traps, like beer traps or coloured plastic in water to attract certain bugs or my hands to catch them. The BEST way to fight off bugs is to have healthy plants as they produce their own natural pesticides. Growing in nutrient rich compost produces REALLY healthy plants. There is nothing like it.
Your wisdom is evident, but hope you consider wild gourd tea, as it does not kill bugs but rather stop them from eating your crops. always test on one type of plant to make sure of no problems. but I have in my years found nothing better as a bug repellent for plants
Does anyone use Growbags (Combination of coco peat and/or husk chips) to grow Tomato’s? Growbags are 100% natural and environmentally sustainable, used widely in the industry due to the benefits of the product for Tomato growing…
Help protect our environment, use environmentally friendly products.
@HoboCabbage I’m thinking the same……..
There are no mistakes….only learning opportunities .
Those pumpkins look large enough for my needs. I don’t need a pumpkin bigger than a volkswagon.
Good video…keep in mind Mother Nature doesn’t water/rain every day. Check out my videos for Gardening tips.
Excellent Video, thanks for sharing!!! <33
Thanks, I am a beginner.
good info thank you
I believe she is wrong about the number of pumpkin plants in that bed resulting in smaller pumpkins. If you are going to plant that amount of pumpkins then what should be done is making sure the required nutrients are there now for that number of plants. Adding more compost, regular applications of compost tea, etc. I recommend people to always learn from various schools of thought and experiment for themselves.
Thanks
if you want a great how garden to dvd for a good price go to my channle click the link under the trailer
Great info!!
Thanks for yet another great tip. I’m always willing to learn.
good advice on the water
Another common mistake is pouring gasoline on the whole thing and lighting it on fire. I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me.
garden area is also a great place to hide cash,
wife and I grow massive garden, funny how locals beg for help, and I offer them food in my garden and they respond with can you bring it over. sad world we live in,
every kid can play on the computer by the hour, but never ever grew a plant that produces food, nothing can go wrong with this world.
This is a good video, helpful to me. I am just starting my own garden, mainly herbs and vegetables, and got some good advice from this video. I found this very useful tool online for my garden, called Weed Killer Cane, very practical and useful. Just thought I’d pass it on – weedcaneDOTcom
GREAT tips for a novice who was just hired to be an expert! Go figure!!
