Bigbird Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 13 hours ago, Camper said: I find that buying a packet of chilli and some herbs like rosemary just for cooking a 2 person meal to be wasteful. Usually open the packet, use a handful of it and the rest were left to rot in fridge. Chilli is incredibly hard to plant but if you do well, it will give you a steady harvest. Perhaps like 5 chilli a week. Enough for a small family. This amount will last me maybe 2 days! Is chili padi easy to plant? I take a lot of chili. 200g per week. 12 hours ago, socrates469bc said: can try soaking crushed lemongrass stalks in base oil for 2 days, then strained it to make essential oil. ur place will have nice smell and insect-free. I love the smell of Lemongrass. What is base oil? Some says use olive oil, very expensive leh! 12 hours ago, socrates469bc said: ts can try growing lemongrass. can use for food flavoring and natural insect repellent. I just bought 1/2kg lemongrass today! 12 hours ago, Camper said: Used to grow lemongrass. I use the leaves to boil water to drink. Market bought lemon grass, cut the top and leave around 10cm of the bulb. Fill a glass of water, place the cut lemon grass inside the glass. Leave it under the sun for around 2 weeks. Add water as required. Once rooted just plant into soil. Very easy. Same rooting method for rosemary and basil. I thought is boil the stalk not the leaves? I always boil the Yellow base stalk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always boil the Yellow base stalk! Boil leave not as strong as the stalk. But if i cut the stalk it will die. Chilli is difficult to grow. You need a lot of pesticide. Best if you can use organic type. Else... you are just taking small amounts of pesticides everyday. After growing chilli for so long, i dare say it is impossible to grow it without pesticides. Remember to wash chilli with baking soda at least before consuming. Water isnt enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For fertilisers, my favourite way is to soak orange skins in a jar of water and another jar of water with crushed egg shells. Then water a fair amount once a week or so. i gt 3 small.pots... grow chilli padi and simi purple basil (cos kaya say i love purple so MUST buy)... planning to grow cherry tomatoes.. 2 I think about you.
