Common Houseplant Pests and Ailments (and how to address them)

March 17, 2020 by fifthseason 5 Comments

-Naomi Austin- It’s obvious that houseplants are becoming big again. Back in the 70s everybody had their basic spider plant and pothos, and that was pretty much the extent of it. Nowadays there are plant-obsessed groups online devoted to all different types of varieties of houseplants and their care, whether it be rare or standard varieties. People are absolutely filling their houses with green plants, and no wonder! They improve the oxygen quality of your home, reduce allergies, and bring a … [Read more...] about Common Houseplant Pests and Ailments (and how to address them)

Happy Houseplants

October 29, 2019 by fifthseason Leave a Comment

-Gabrial House- Today on the blog I wanted to take a look at the basics of caring for your houseplants. Too often we hear people say “I have a black thumb” or  “I killed that aloe plant within a week.” If you follow these basic practices you will have a house full of beautiful lush plants that make you happier and healthier. The first piece of advice I have is to know your plants – different plants require different amounts of water and light, so knowing what you are caring for is really … [Read more...] about Happy Houseplants

Compost Tea Made Easy

January 29, 2019 by fifthseason Leave a Comment

-Gabrial House- With spring approaching, it’s time to start thinking about your garden, and the best way to help your plants fight off heat, high humidity, and the dry soil that’s sure to come. For me, the best route to take is treating my garden to a fresh batch of compost tea.  As the name implies, compost tea is made by steeping compost in water, and using the resulting liquid gold on or around your plants. Most of us know the benefits that compost provides to our garden soil, but … [Read more...] about Compost Tea Made Easy

The Ultimate Foliar Feed

August 7, 2018 by fifthseason 12 Comments

-Gabrial House- This week on the blog I wanted to talk about foliar feeding. If you’re not foliar feeding, it could be the missing link in the chain of a strong vegetative cycle. The healthier the vegetative cycle you have, the larger, more bountiful your harvest will be. It’s simple, easy, and hardly takes anytime to mix up and foliar feed your garden. Foliar feeding is done when you mix up a diluted nutrient solution and mist it over the tops and, more importantly, the bottoms of the … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Foliar Feed

Raised-Bed Gardening

April 24, 2018 by fifthseason Leave a Comment

-Patrick Metz- I am getting ready to start a new garden plot.  For years I have employed a technique known as double-digging to get started.  The concept is simple and effective.  The goal: create a deep bed of loose, well-amended soil without harming and undoing the work of the biology already in the soil - earthworms, microbes, fungi.  This technique creates a beautifully cultivated plot and an excellent rooting zone for your future plants. So what's the catch? It is labor intensive and … [Read more...] about Raised-Bed Gardening

The Benefits of Carbo-Loading

March 15, 2016 by fifthseason Leave a Comment

Once you start becoming successful at growing vegetables, flowers, or herbs hydroponically, you might notice there are some flavors and aromas that may be missing from your plants - the flavors and aromas you normally get from the same plants cultivated in rich garden soil outdoors. Mineralfertilizers can surely grow your plants, but your babies will most likely need some additional help to live up to their best genetic potential. That is where supplementing with carbohydrates comes into … [Read more...] about The Benefits of Carbo-Loading
