Aagh, no biggie, i most likely wont be successful as coffee only grows in high areas. I am almost at sea level.

So is beaver creek. You can see the sea from the farm. Maybe it has to do with climate? Edited March 4, 2019 by Pieter1

Just needs to be warm, hence why i want to try it in a green house.

I have mine in a semi shade spot in pots. They would probably do better in the ground but they are okay.

U get organic chemcicals, i hardly use it tho. You cant try planting plenty marigolds in and around your crop.

 Id appreciate any advice on growing... Im looking at getting some basic grow lights just to help seedlings get a good start as the current method of leaving them in a bright spot in the house is not working so well... I think they need much more light than they are getting. Because its basically just the seedling stage I have read that the basic full spectrum grow light CFL's is probably the best and most cost effective solution. I was thinking of building a basic stand to just light one or two small seed trays for about 18hrs a day... Is this a decent idea or am I just wasting my time?

 

I also plan to get a vented dome for the sprouting and early stage... would I use the light and the dome at the same time right until they ready to plant?

This thread has been quite quiet lately.

Looking into a little veggie garden but also a wall mounted hydroponics setup too.

Anybody have anything similar, looking for inspiration......

I had a very bad season.

struggled with mildew and red spider mite.

ended up ripping out everything, worked in some compost and let the soil "rest" since about Feb

planted seedling trays last weekend so hoping for the best (and some rain)
