Live in an apartment. Took a tomato seedling from my mom, doing great. It's over a meter tall now.
Have a lot of other plants in the apartment, but this one's the favourite for now

nice, what's your growing process?

I used a mound planting method in a horseshoe shape, and then I planted radishes first. Other than that, I've been watering in the morning before work, and once at night. I used heirloom seeds, no gmos. And if one plant has one thing growing on it, I process it and dry the seeds and just pop them in the dirt. I use balanced soil and treat what I see with corresponding minerals. I'm waiting for the rainy season to be over before I plant my corn.

what are some things you look for when amending your soil?

Can I ask how to grow weed here? Or is there a better place to ask for that info

>>2994141
what growing zone do you live in? https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/. you'll have to look at your hardiness zone and see when the best time to plant is. no clue on actual growing maybe someone else can chime in

>>2994143
Zone 7 I believe

Perfect timing, I was wondering who I should ask for advice.
I've been germinating citrus seeds whenever I got some (various types: clementines/sweet clems, tangerines, satsumas, whatever's nice and large when I'm at the store), I believe all of these were planted sometime in March. The biggest ones are now slightly past 10 cm or 4 inches.
I know trying to grow a tree from a seed is a fool's errand (especially in the UK), but I figure with large enough numbers something will survive long enough to turn from a seedling into a sapling.
What I need now is some expert opinions on how to take care of them so that they don't die.

hi anons, I'm good with plants but so far only in planters and pots, but we just bought a house with a front yard similar to pic related.

A bit bigger but also surrounded by concrete on all sides, I was wondering how I could clean up the soil since it's been there for so long and the previous owners were doing some bullshit on it (it's got some spray painted stones and shit).

I wanna turn it into a proper (if small) garden; should I remove all the soil and replace it or can I add new soil on top and pray? Should I mix it? Any type of soil?

What about plants? I'd like to stay away from your standard lawn but rather add something pretty.

I don't have a faucet on my porch garden, but I want to set up a drip irrigation system using a pump and water cistern. Are there any solutions that don't come loaded with an extra helping of BPA and PFAS?
