2023 Paqui One Chip Challenge (South Africa)
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Chris Toomey and myself taking the Paqui One Chip Challenge. Notes: The chip is large, thick and disgusting in both flavour and smell. It's hot, not insufferable and certainly not worthy of the theatrics so common in the U.S. based videos. A raw Reaper would top the POCC most days of the week. The worst part of the reaction was the constant toilet trips over the last 2 days, however not for rin...

How To Save Seeds From Vegetables | Seed Saving Done Right
I plant mine by sprinkling on top of an inch of fine compost, hit them with a hose sprayer to set them in place and set up micro-sprinklers and leave them on all day until the carrots come up. I fertilize once, when they get two or three good leaves. I'm growing on almost pure sand.
Thank you so much. You are amazing 👉
I have A LOT of seeds of many different vegetables, herbs and even some fruits (melon, watermelon, strawberries) enough to start a complete vegetable garden, which I'm planning to start this spring (I'm in the southern hemisphere), but all of the seeds are 4 to 6 years old and I think it would be a massive waste of money to discard them and buy new ones. So I'm definitely going to try this with my seeds and let you know how it worked.
I love all your videos. I would also think it would be super great to make short videos for each type of veg. How to grow, when to grow etc. Lovely to just refer back and also you don't get videos like that for the South African climate. Please please please.
This is insightful, thank you ❤
I like it 😊
I just love to listen to your vast knowledge. And not to mention that it is local. All other videos are from overseas which is not really relevant to our environment.
Thank you very much. Does 1perc. H2o2 soaking for 12 hours work for tomato seed?
There is also the Ruth Stout method
I bought them as plants. 10 to 12 weeks old. Must I trim or prune them.? This is my absolutely favorite veggiei can send you a picture of them
Does dragonfruit grow true from seed? Thanks for this video.
food of the gods-,and I l love your sprouting lids (and want lots moreof them)
The video was put together well. Love the information!!! 🙌🤙🌱
Dankie tog iemand wat kan help
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out a safe way to treat powdery mildew in a school veggie garden, that will still be safe for the kids.
Currently have a bag of Mondial. They are divine. Maybe the farm had a good season.
This video has changed my life! I have tried this method and managed to germinate seeds that take up to 3 weeks in under 24 hours!! My stock seeds have germinated in 10 hours! 🤯 😃😃😃Thank you SO much for sharing, this takes the cake for most useful plant growing video on RUclips for me. 🌱🌿🌸🌸🌸
Please help , mixing ratio of hydrogen peroxide 6% 2.All steps to follow
@@patrickmunishi4450500ml water for 100ml 6%solution
Love the technical information, would love to see the actual difference in germination between treated and untreated seeds from the same seed lot
This exact question is on the cards.
I double dug my first large flower garden, then added peat, sand, and years old horse manure, and a layer of mulch on top about once a year. That was the best soil, and stayed almost completely weed free! It was initially a lot of work, but it paid off. Decades later, I don't think I could hand double dig an entire garden, though!
So glad I finally got one from you last weekend. I so look forward to tis experience. Thanks
Loved this video, even though I had to keep pausing it to go to another window and plug the numbers into a conversion calculator! Thanks for sharing your experiments. Loved it!
Is this the same insect attacking water melon?
Thank you sir, oh thank you so much.
Can hydrogen peroxide used to enlarge potatoes tuber's if sprayed weekly
Question : to make 12 mtrs wide/ width high tunnel , which circle diameter would i need ? I am talking about the round circular tromboline frame
Thank you for the information and research...you just smashed my way forward for growing potato's 😂...will return to traditional ways 😂😂
What fertilizer can i use to plant patatoes
Is garlic affected by any nematodes or fungicides ?
In the Western Cape my winter veg garden is always the best. My summer garden not so much. I still grow a lot but it's not as abundant as our sun is very hot and our soil is sand.
She definitely knows nothing about dragon fruit
I planted garlic last year almost a year now but no garlicbulps only long green leaves. Can i use the leaves in food and soup.I dont know what variety, new in gardening.Will definitly try your method next year Eastern Cape Qgeberha.Thank you for sharing.
Imagine the strangest policy of my government: they ban cow manure (recycled N) but allow chemical fertilizer (fixing N) because they call nitrogen in the soil polution.
I put rosemary stalks round every seedling. Deep down. Works well.
Are there species of vetch that are more difficult to remove, or do u just need to terminate before seeds come?
Does the Hydrogen peroxide effect the seedling in any way? Do you have to do anything different with the seedlings (less or more light,, more nitrogen,, etc)? Wouldn't putting the seeds in a 'brown' paper towel work even better (more nutrients, shades more light from the H2O2)???
Planted clover as a cover crop in my potato bed last fall, terminated this spring with solarization. I am in zone 5a, would vetch survive our winter? If so, I could use vetch over clover this year and instead of relying on good weather for solarization, just cut below the soil. Stay Well!!!
Well done!
Why you only in my right ear
Wow this is so Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work, cant wait for my Living Seed delivery.
Thanks livingseeds. Just got my order yesterday
My chicory over grown.are they still edible?
When planting your corms, it pays to cut off the top 1/10th to expose the raw clove inside. This will almost ensure germination.
Sir wild brinjal 25 day germination period.what we can fast germination it Pl reply
Use the H2O2 as described and bottom heat with a heating pad and it will speed up the process.
what veriety of vetch do you use?
Grazing vetch.
That tiny TLUD looks great, do you have design plans? I'm looking for something smaller than the 55 gallon drums to try this out as I have a smaller yard.
Fantastic video, thanks so much😊
Carbon dioxide from the tractor running
Wish n could plant my potatoes in ground. Have clay soil.
Thanks for the info, but especially liked the idea of using plastic ziplock bags for germination.
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate the explanation of why thank you 👍
My pleasure!
