Too bad it’s too cold up there to grow papaya outdoor. I find papaya leaves
to be the perfect material for mulching. They shed their lowest branches as
they grow. The leaves decompose very fast, I just wait until they are dry
enough and I can simply use my hands to crumble them into tiny fragments
onto the base of my plants.
I see them as weeds, they will outgrow anything in the garden and literally
require no supervision. The only problem is their roots grow very deep so
it’ll be very hard to uproot them once they get big. I think it’s a good
idea to grow them in a container, but you will need a very large one since
a healthy papaya fruit a lot. For growing on regular soil, eventually they
will become too tall to harvest the fruits from, but you can cut them and
they will regrow. For a regular sized resident, if you half a dozen to a
dozen of these, you won’t run out of organic materials for your garden
soil. Of course you want to make sure you get hermaphrodite non-GMO papaya.
this video was a nice one to watch. I’m learning so much from you. I had
the same thing happen to me with an ebay vendor who sold me some wax bean
seeds…sent them in a regular envelope and most of them were crushed and I
got twenty less than I was supposed to get…and I’m pretty sure they were
not even wax beans. Thankfully I got a refund but I was not happy. The
red would have looked nice in the voodoo garden. I don’t know what color
you ended up painting it but any color to give it a more organic look would
have been nice. Even a nice yellow/orange would brighten it up. Oh…the
coke and lollipop…I’m going to be a mom now and say…they’re a no no!!!
I bet if you got rid of your soda, candy and coffee you would buy another
10 acres of land so you can use up all the extra energy you have to plant
more stuff. You have so many greens that you could have a quart of green
smoothies every single day…do that and you will not regret it…trust me
on this one.
it’s been about 2 years since we picked up our worm bin and we really enjoy
adding the worm castings in to the soil. Good stuff. Gotta love Christmas
presents…
i actually just bought pretty much a red wiggler farm on Wednesday, great
vid. Oh and in my spare i painted one wall a little darker red than barn
red but only did one wall (i have a redish carpet) and it looks really good
like that just dont do it all red ;)
I love that! almost sounds like the guy i bought from that was from texas
bought some dragon fruit seeds from the dude they came crushed then i got
more and they didn’t germinate at all. =(
Ray, I would Luv 2 have Ur address so I can send U some seeds. I would Luv
2 see U grow Cherimoya tree & a persimmons tree. Not sure that they will
grow there, but I see Ur like myself & Luv a great challenge. I am
currently growing so Cherimoya trees & have a couple of Persimmons seeds.
The persimmons seeds R very hard 2 come by due 2 the fact that there R no
seeds in the commercially grown plants hardly anymore. If U ever come by
lime seeds, could U possibly let me know ??? I’ve been looking 4 those lil
buggers 4ever !!! Anyways, I’m excited 2 send U some of these seeds. U R
awesome :D
Ray check and see if you have a hardware store close by online called Do It
Best. They look like a Mom and Pop store around here. You might be able to
get worm poop shipped to the store and not pay shipping.
The meaning of life….ok maybe not. :)
I thought dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate. Would that include
Tootsie Rolls?
*Walmart sells earthworm castings.*
We’re did. U get the worm castings
Hey , I’ve order from that guy too on eBay… Yep, same packaging and same
powder crush result!
I’m 99% sure.
Who is Mike? I don’t think I’ve seen him in front of the camera yet. Does
he garden too?

I hope Rascal and the kitten get along.
Lol you painted it white.
I wonder if the leaves taste like chocolate.
Yeah it is a really sad story on the praxxus55712 channel. :'(
Ray I think you need to paint a mural. paint a beach scene on one wall and
a water fall on the other

Hi Hun,I just love your shows. I noticed the old table there. Are you
protecting it? It’s worth a good penny or two. :D
Mix the red & blue!

Rascal needs a buddy since y’all lost Pepper. As for the color Blue slate
or Slate blue, however you want to call it sounds good.
thanks for mentioning about how to send seeds through the post, i have not
sent any as yet, but may in the future
Rascal is the cutest.
you should do a live video

Have you ever made super worm tea? Adding the bat + sea bird guano plus
some ash and stone dust really makes a great fertilizer. Organic too.

Hey Ray you should definitely do a new segment where you buy from and plant
or seed seller online and give honest reviews.
