I under stand what you are saying BUT don't you think that all businesses that sell Glyphosate (Roundup) has rights to marketing? What you have to keep in mind is that Monsanto patented Glyphosate under the trade name Roundup and that Glyphosate is marketed under many other names including many...

I pull the smallest one. Chris

The trick to making good pickles is to grow 'pickles'/ pickling cucumbers and not slicing cucumbers. Pickling cucumbers were developed to go through the brining process and have a lower moisture content thus giving a higher quality firmer product. Chris

I don't think your going to get dementia from Calcium Chloride. ;) Chris

Wow, don't say that to loud because my Golden Bantam has always germinated just fine here in N.E. Ohio (about 240 mile North of you). Golden Bantam matures in about 80 days so even if you don't get the corn in the ground until late June you should be picking corn in August. Golden Bantam Corn...

By the pickles being soft and salty I would say that the amount of salt was off. Was the recipe for presser canning, freeing, hot packing, or steam canning, what type of canning method did you use and what type of Salt did you use? If you are going to start canning I would recommend two books...

If you don't mind me asking where did you here that Scotts is owned by Monsanto? I have been doing research on Scotts/ Miracle Grow since my post (#45) and found nothing about this. What I found is that Scotts/ Miracle Grow has a distribution agreement to use and sell Round Up products through...

The shows name was Crockett's Victory Garden not The Victory Garden. ;) After James (Jim) Crockett past away they changed the name of the show to The Victory Garden and the show went down hill ever sense. His entire site (Greenhouse, Garden and everything else) was built on a section of parking...

I foud out some time ago that you will always be putting money into Monsanto's business just like any other big business. Monsanto has there has there hand in in nearly everything from plastics to organics. Look how many things you use every day that contains either corn or soy been oil or had...

You can trim Determinate tomatoes in fact all tomatoes will do better if trimmed. With Determinate tomatoes you only want to trim the suckers/ shoots below the first flower cluster. Chris

The regular plastic that you get from Home Depot is not UV protected and will break down with in a year if not less. You would be best to get the Greenhouse plastic, it is UV protected and most will last 5 year+. Chris

Well it should be hitting me about Friday or Saturday Lesa, it takes about 4 to 5 days for a storm in TX to hit OH. Chris

On the bell peppers, They are to me heavy feeders, if you want lots of big peppers you need to feed them. This is a idea on how I plant mine. 1- Dig a whole about 2 times as deep needed, 2- Put 2 tablespoons of 20-20-20 fertilizer in the bottom of the whole along with a hand full of well...

It's like having commercials on here. They start out trying to help the OP but then they lead into the big sales pitch, kind of like a used car salesmen. Chris
