☀️13th Case Study on Understanding Your Space & Matching with the Crops You Like 🌱

Besides curry leaves and pandan, air purifying plants such as snake plants and spider plants are growing well based on the gardener's pictures.

Curry leaves and pandan become very handy when we need them in making our meals. We normally don't need a lot of them and if we can't finish using the fresh leaves from supermarket, it is quite wasteful. The same applies to common herbs such as mint, rosemary and etc.

Grow something that you eat and enjoy garden-to-table 😃

Looking for netting ideas? Check out our earlier post: https://bit.ly/plants-netting. Wan Ying of Urban Oasis 城市小绿州 also posted a mini version of netting in the comments.

✨More FAQs on netting✨

👉Is the white window day light curtain same as the netting for our vege?
➡No that’s agriculture netting, does not disintegrate under sun and yet can ventilate.

👉For outdoor veg, is it necessary to have a plastic cover on top? Should we always use nets to prevent pests?
➡Plastic cover is to keep the rain out. It is important if you wish to grow vegetables well during raining season. If you can stop planting say during year end, then you can do without. Netting is to keep flying pests out like grasshoppers, caterpillars and beetles. But like I said during class, if you are ok to hand catch all these, netting is not necessary.

👉Any difference between the green netting to the white netting for vegetable plot?
➡White netting is generally used as it let light in while allow ventilation. Green netting tends to cut down light.

☀️6th Case Study on Understanding Your Space & Matching with the Crops You Like 🌱

One of the challenges shared by the gardener is PEST 🧐

Here is the extract of the conversation from Wan Ying of Little Urban Oasis 城市小绿州 when we discussed pest previously:

"Being went through the whole journey, for organic farming, we can only mitigate pests and we cannot eliminate pests. If eliminate until zero pest, it’s not organic farming. For mitigation, it means you are able to control the pest population in such a way that it doesn’t eat all your lunch and you still have something to harvest."

Agree? 😃

"Gardening tips related to pests:
👉Your area must be sunny ☀, pests like a cooling environment
👉 Prune pest-infested plants, bag and throw them (do not compost these infected leaves)
👉 When infested, check your plants every day and use your organic pesticides on a daily basis. If you can’t do this every day, do it three times a week for two weeks
👉 Remember to spray your organic pesticides early in the morning (it doesn’t burn your leaves and gives plants time to dry up – more pests will come if the leaves are wet, especially powdery mildew)
👉 Water in the morning, do root zone watering for herbs, don’t wet the leaves and this will cut down a lot of pests"

"I hope to grow grapes, mushrooms, tomato, Japanese cucumber, pumpkin, capsicum, bak choi, sweet corn, brinjal, and ladies fingers."

You do not need sunlight to grow mushrooms. There are many types of mushroom growing kits ranging from pink oyster mushrooms, gold oyster mushrooms and etc. Spray water 3 times a day will do 😊

For cucurbits that you saw from Wan Ying's farm (see Little Urban Oasis 城市小绿州 FB page), you need more than sunlight and we have dedicated 2 hours to talk about cucurbits (see the last pic for our topics) + Q&As.
