Can allow, why not. Many home farmers uses chicken sai directly. They buy off from farmers. Not sure how they get it but got suppliers. If not, use blood and bone meals also good. Potash, if you burn joss stick at home is also a good source. For me i use egg shell soak in water and orange peels mostly. Banana peels attract too many fruit flies. Also to use epsom salt for fruiting plants. These are very low cost and effort for small time home farmers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbird Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 On 8/5/2020 at 10:45 AM, 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. On the lemongrass topic, i went asking around where have the lemongrass leaves. But the uncle/aunties sellers says nobody sells leaves one. SO pai seh! I was told the lemongrass leaves edges is sharp like a blade! Can cut your fingers easily. Is this true? If so, how do u wash and prep to boil the leaves? On 8/7/2020 at 8:35 PM, socrates469bc said: I love to grow this! Capsicum is it easy to grow this in our climate?

Haha it is really true nobody sells the leave because it is sharp. For me washing involves soaking with baking soda water. When we cook for water, either tie it like pandan leaves if long or i can into bits, place inside tea bag filters and pour boiling water to drink like tea. You should try rooting one stalk to know what im talking about. Lemon grass are one of the easiest plant to grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please recommend me/us easy to maintain and "essential" plants eg chili, lime..etc... for beginners to plant!

Anyone grow this before? capsicum is tropic, so shld be able to grow well in sgp. but surprisingly, i havent heard of any dedicated capsicum growers in bolehsia or indon. if not wrong, capsicums in sgp is imported from oz. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
