This was pretty interesting, I had no idea there was such a thing as micro tomatoes! I can't get over how many he had grow on such a small plant. Those grow lights apparently work wonders.

Let us know how you go with the sharpening stone! I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well they cut once they've been sharpened. If they've never been sharpened before it probably won't take much to improve their cutting ability.

If you want cheap, a sharpening stone is probably your best bet. Like most things that are both cheap and good, it won't be fast, in that you will need to learn the right technique in order to get satisfactory results, however it's not too difficult and I'm sure there are plenty of instructions...

You could probably use a "green manure" crop for this. Bury/compost the fish in a specific area/container and use it to grow a plant that is known not to absorb the contaminant you're worried about. Then chop that down and compost it again in a second location, and the second lot of compost is...

Any type, but you have to keep them oiled and clean them after every use, otherwise they seize up pretty quickly. Unfortunately I have yet to find a set of secateurs that is maintenance free or entirely made of stainless steel so it won't rust. If you don't want to spend time maintaining them...

Mark has said in past videos he can only grow tomatoes in spring and autumn, because it's too cold in winter and too hot in summer, in his subtropical SE QLD climate. I am in the same climate and don't have a lot of experience with tomatoes, but I've found the seeds don't tend to germinate over...

Wow that's really interesting! I never realised plants could make that much use of the upper UV spectrum. Very interesting too to confirm the LEDs are full spectrum.

Wow I've never looked into the Bunya pine but it looks like a great thing to grow, thanks for the pics! I'm not sure how things are going to go this summer (it's supposed to be a scorcher and high risk of fire across my block) so will probably wait until after summer before doing any sort of...

Welcome! I am just getting set up on a block of land in SE QLD as well, so once I have cleared some of the acres of lantana I hope to plant more native plants, especially ones that are edible in some form or another, so I hope you'll keep us up to date on what plants you have chosen and why...

Is it a full spectrum light? Often LED lights have fairly narrow peaks around the red, green and blue parts of the spectrum so it seems white to human eyes, but they don't provide as much usable light to plants. I mean CFLs have a bit of a reputation for the same, so I don't imagine you'll be...

I guess if you have a bunch of roofing screws or similar maybe you could attach the mesh near the top of the corrugated sheets? I suppose you'd need a lot of screws though or you might risk the mesh being pushed out of the way in between the screws. Either way it sounds like you've got...

I have no experience with this so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but a few questions come to mind: What is the reason you wish to bury it so deep? Burying the mesh can stop animals from digging under it, however there are other options that can discourage digging like placing large...

I suppose you can't blame them, who wants to spend a year growing 100 plants and then none of them sell and all that time and space is wasted. I would've pre-ordered in my case, but I don't think it was even an option for that plant so maybe it depends on what it is or how long it takes to grow.

I've had notifications before at work and by the time I got home to place my order they'd sold out. I got one a couple of weeks ago for a native Atherton raspberry, the new thornless variety, so I jumped on and ordered it within 30 minutes of having gotten the e-mail and managed to get one, so...

I tried to grow a few vines on my balcony from seed and they produced plenty of leaves for years but never once flowered, so I guess make sure they get plenty of sun. I've heard the reason why some vines look ratty with lots of dead leaves is because they aren't getting watered enough, so I'd...

Haha I certainly didn't mean to criticise anyone about this video, it was more a general comment on the (in my opinion silly) things you have to do as a content producer to get your videos noticed. But if you want to play the game you can't argue with the rules. Interesting Mark's son is now...

The TITLE on this MAKES me THINK that MARK'S volume CONTROL might be malFUNCTIONING :p

He has grown carrots in the past - he did a video back in late 2016 about growing them: Perhaps he just ran out of space with everything else he's growing this season!

I have no experience with growing potatoes but I imagine in most climates the vines die off at harvest time so you would be limited more by the season than by the physical size of the plants. If you were in a climate where the potato plants could grow all year round I'm inclined to think the...

I really enjoyed this one. Mark's garden tours are always my favourite videos. I can't get over how well everything grows for him! I'm not that far away (couple of hours drive) but the lack of sun on my balcony makes everything struggle and grow much more slowly.
