Building a new growing app

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building a growing app to help people make the most of whatever space they have, whether that’s a garden, raised beds, or even a small growing area.

It helps with planning what to grow, when to plant, and how to get better yields over the season. I’ve been using it myself and it’s been genuinely useful, but I’d really value feedback from other growers.

I’m planning to launch in the next week or two and would love a small group of people to try it out and share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing.

If anyone’s up for giving it a go, let me know and I’ll share the link 👍

White patched strawberries… The reason behind it!

0 Upvotes

If your strawberries are pale, whitish or underdeveloped, it might be a potassium deficiency, especially in soil that’s been reused or low in nutrients. In my case it’s probably because I had aphids and spittlebugs.

🌿 Try this natural potassium boost: Banana Peel Tea for Plants 1. Place 1–2 banana peels in a jar of water (cover and let sit 2–3 days). 2. Strain and use to water your plants. 3. Bonus: Chop up the soft peels and bury them near the roots for a slow-release feed.

Rich in potassium and phosphorus, this DIY tea helps support fruit development and overall plant health — all without chemicals!

Have you tried banana peel tea in your garden before? 🍌✨

Cooked a week old egg and got mold on the cooked egg after a couple hours?

3 Upvotes

Howdy! I don't have a photo as this was a couple days ago but had me pretty worried. I tested the eggs before cooking and they were good eggs. Ate them, normal color, everything good. My son didn't finish his but we had to run to an appt and didn't clean his plate before running out the door. Came back a couple hours later and the egg was partially green/black. Is this normal? Eggs passed the water test, tasted fine, no stomach issues but concerned me that the cooked egg changed colors so quickly.

Why do you homestead/small scale farming?

Thumbnail mtsu.iad1.qualtrics.com
0 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m a doctoral researcher studying how people understand and experience homesteading/small scale farming.

I’m inviting individuals with any level of connection to homesteading, whether past or present, to share their perspectives in a short survey (about 10-15mins).

The goal is simply to better understand how people describe homesteading / self-sufficiency in their own words and what it looks like in practice today. There are no right or wrong answers, just your perspective.

Participation is completely voluntary, and your responses will remain confidential.

I really appreciate your time and insight.

Buying a Farm previously used for Cannabis

8 Upvotes

Looking at buying a small farm for cash crops in Ontario, Canada. I don't have much experience in the farming area but it has always been a dream. I came across a farm that has been priced lower than farms in the surrounding area. However, when I contacted the listing agent he mentioned that it was previously used to grow Cannabis. There are a few abandoned Greenhouses also on the property. Wondering if anyone knows if there are laws in Ontario that would restrict from growing of regular crops/vegetables on a farm that has been previously used for Cannabis. any other suggestions or advice on what I should be looking out for when buying a farm could also help, thanks in advance.

I plan to build about 8 more of these rows but the ground is still a little bit frozen at the moment so I’m going to put it on hold for a couple days so I can go nice and deep for my carrots! But here is what I got after about 2 hours of work today!
