My humidity was in the high 50s and low 60s for my flower. Not ideal by any means. Should be between 30-40. But I had a small fan going, and the front door and side vents open, and had no issues with pm or mold. Air flow did the trick for me.
I’ve used neem oil a few times to rid my plants of spider mite.
- 2 tsp neem oil
- 1/2 tsp dish soap
- 1 liter warm water
Spray plants, underneath leaves also, every 3 days for 9 days.
Spider mites gone.
Thanks RIBrian. I read the whole post and know she amends after she gets the manure with Espoma garden tone and Happy frog bulb food.
I wanted to know if the manure was amended with anything before she acquired it!!
Welcome TwistD!!

Hey gangagurl420!!
So I’m gonna get myself some steer and give it a try for next year. Trying for a couple 200 gallon grows.

We usually harvest in July. The scapes will curl right around and point upwards. What I do is harvest the scapes but leave a few indicators. When they have unwound and pointing upwards again, then it’s time to harvest the bulbs.
You grow quite a few varieties. I don’t know what family it is...
We love garlic!!! Planted 503 cloves in the fall and 499 came up. Mostly Russian Red. The other stuff had a females name. Susan Delica or something.
When we make popcorn we chop up a few cloves and put it in the melted butter. Yummmmmy!!!
Yes, they put on the majority of their bulk the last couple weeks of flower. I top dress mine at 2 and 4 weeks with my fresh ewc. Amazing results!!
Pencil erasers is a good one. I always say they are like very dense pine cones!!
For spider mites use 2 tsp neem oil, 1/2 tsp dish soap, 1 liter warm water. Shake well while using. Spray both sides of leaves and soil every 3 days for 9 days. This disrupts their cycle. Mites gone!!!
Went for a ride to the comfrey patch to pick some fresh. Plants are still young so I selectively harvested.
Sifted some fresh compost from my pile.
1 large yogurt container of each, watered in with an ewc, kelp and bsm tea!!
