How long does it take???
Comments (14)Gijane asked her question, I see with my own eyes that it is about tumblers. The fact that she made herself a tumbler thus saving @$200 is to be commended in my view. All she wanted to know is if she should put some holes in it for better airflow to make better/faster compost. In the process her thread has gotten hijacked (something normal I hate to admit) and we are off to the races. Gijane, I donÂt use tumblers, they produce too small an amount for my needs. I can only give you what I have read of people who have made tumblers and what they said they did. It is for that reason I only read your thread and observed the answers you got thinking I might be able to use your learning in the future. From what I have seen most do put holes in their tumblers for better airflow. As well, they state they put some kind of drainage setup to catch excess water that accumulates in the tumbler. Most have questions about weather they can use this water as a tea on their plants. I will admit I did not read the thread given, 131 posts about something I donÂt seems a bit much to read. So to save time I offer the learning I gained when I first started looking into composting. I have made what some would call compost in 21 days, but I think I was just lucky that one time, and I still left it in the bin for a few months. C:N ratio is what you are looking for. 10:1 is considered finished compost regardless of how compost is made. I have used unfinished compost as mulch during the heat of summer; it didnÂt hurt my plants any. I used 10:1 compost as mulch and got the same results. Once it starts composting any plant will grow in it, you were given the lasagna bed example. I can admit I store some of my compost in 55-gallon drums, some plastic, some steel. The plastic drums give the best-cured compost, the steel hold moisture better Blutranes...See Morekabocha; how long does it take to mature?
Comments (14)I am new with this as well. I love Kabocha squash and I had saved some seeds from one I bought at the health food store a few years ago. I was late in planting, probably late July and it took them about a month to really get going. The male flowers came first followed by the females about 3 weeks later. It is now August 2 and we just hand pollinated our first female flower this morning. I am so excited! We don't have many pollinators in this area and I had read before that if you want to ensure you get fruit you should probably hand pollinate, so, that is what we did. I planted only two squash this year. We have about 10 more female flowers that are not mature enough to open yet. I check them every day because the flowers are only open for a very short time, so, the window of opportunity is very small. I can't wait to watch the babies grow. I am hoping I can get about 10 squash off of the two plants. I have read you are lucky if you get one per vine, but, with hand pollinating I am hoping for at least two. I now have 5 vines growing. They are very aggressive and seem to take over whatever is in their path. I have a second year carrot growing for the seeds and the squash seems to be taking it down, literally. I also have spearmint growing to the side and so far I have been able to detour the squash by simply picking up the vine and moving it away from the spearmint. If you move them as they are first growing outward they seem easily deterred. I didn't have to move them much, maybe only 5 inches. I love these plants and have gotten a lot of joy out of watching. I water them every night when the sun goes down. I planted them in a manure enriched soil I bought at Walmart. I have not used any other fertilizer on them and they are growing great. However, I did read that the key to growing these squash is Patience, patience, patience. They are not something that grows overnight. Also, don't be too anxious to harvest them. They are suppose to stay on the vine until the vine dries up and falls away from the fruit. In the end they stem looks like that of a pumpkin. I hope you are enjoying your plants as much as I am mine. I am planning to plant a lot more next year and in a place in the yard where they have lots of room to branch out without worrying about them taking over any other plants. Good luck to you. :)...See MoreHow long does it take for the blooms to fully open of F&E

The first bloom started opening about two weeks ago, they start green and turn pink as they get a little larger (each little flower.) Only two are completely pink. How long does it take for each of those little flowers to fully open. I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this correctly....See MoreHow long does it take for citrus buds to develop into leaves?
