Pieter1 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Sadly no luck with beavercreek for me.Sorry man. I’ll try and find the place that I saw that ships them.
Eddy Gordo Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Sorry man. I’ll try and find the place that I saw that ships them.Aagh, no biggie, i most likely wont be successful as coffee only grows in high areas. I am almost at sea level.
Pieter1 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 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?

Pieter1 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 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.

You cant try planting plenty marigolds in and around your crop.
Beard Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 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?
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 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......
fanievb Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 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 Febplanted seedling trays last weekend so hoping for the best (and some rain)
