My 1st try with veg plants in containers in 8a NC. Forecast this week, about every day showers/T-storms! Yesterday, it was suppose to rain 1pm, I put off watering in am since dirt was moist. It did not rain hard/rather little. This morning my plants were DRY. Freak time! Watered yet T-storm due later. My worry was about root rot during these times being a novice. Plants are under the overhang of roof. HOT days here. Have 9 plants LOL. Toms, cus, squash/zuc, basil healthy w/fruit appearing. Healthy thus far. Each fruit showing are my babies LOL. I guess if I'm worried at some point I'll put granulated organic fert, OR would 5. 1. 1. fish fert, or? Best NPK would be helpful. ENJOYED your great video. btw: I'm from rural SanDiegoCo orig. TY

The idea that nutrients can be washed out of the soil is not true IF you're looking after your soil properly. If you use non-organic liquid fertilisers then the nutrients are just sitting there waiting to be washed away. If you're feeding your soil properly & using organic methods then the nutrients are stored safely in the bodies of microorganisms such as bacteria & fungi. These guys cling on to the soil particles so can't be washed away by rain then they exchange nutrients with the plant via the roots, so no nutrient depletion!

Man I love your show. Im a truck driver and hour podcasts get me through long drives. I just wish the podcasts were longer lol. I see you got a Subpod too man and thats awesome. I had to buy two and another for my mom.
Anyway, Ive never heard this mentioned but I figured I would ask you before the other podcasters I listen to.
I recently discovered the importance of pH in water. And I noticed my rain water is nowhere near the 6. 5 mark.
So if I add an acid (General hydroponics pH Down, do you think I am doing any harm to my garden, which in turns sends it to me? Thanks man.

Its been raining nonstop for a week. My pepper plants have been the worst affected. The leaves have been turning black as if theyve been burned. Like half the leaves have fallen. Even worse today I noticed some stems full of peppers broke and the top of my zucchini plant broke off.
Edit: Also, its not your average rain that you demonstrated. Its the one that comes down pretty hard. I think that might be hurting the leaves but I have no idea what to do.

We have a tropical storm heading to us and I have some bell peppers & tomatoes (the tomatoes have blooms and little baby tomatoes on them ) and Im worried about them. We were thinking about using sort of like a lean to of some sort to protect it from the wind sheer but then Ill be worried about it falling and smooshing them. Ahh.
What would you do in a situation like this with some younger plants and plants with baby fruits?

I've paid for a community plot of garden this year and just found that they gave me one of the 2 plots that flood. I planted bush bean seeds last week, but now after tons of rains, I'm afraid they're ruined before they ever get started. Haven't planted tomatoes and peppers yet thank God! What can I do to fix the ground so this doesn't happen again?

I wish we were getting rain. In the Caribbean we are in the dry season now. Its been very dry and hot now for about two weeks with no real prospects of significant rainfall right now. Have to hand water. Drought may be possible. I hope you harvest your rain water. We'd be up a creek if we didn't. Stay safe and healthy.

Thank you, Mr. Epic. My garden is north of yours in the SF bay area. I was agonizing over our lovely rain. I wondered if I needed to stand guard over my garden with an umbrella. Thank you for your wisdom. I particularly appreciated your comments about nutrients being washed away. Your fence looks nice painted white.

I have not added mulch because of the amount of rain we are getting. Im in Tulsa, Oklahoma and its on a daily basis right now. My plant leaves are yellowing. Can I foliar spray liquid fertilizer witth fish emulsion twice weekly when the rain stops just until it stops raining daily here? Thank you.

I wish I would've watched this 4 days ago when TS Cristobal dumped four days of heavy rain on western FL. I thought my poor veggies would drown. I lost a whole harvest of basil to mildew. Now that the TS has passed, now we have our typical summer rains.

I'm living in an area of World's Heaviest Rainfall: Weiloi, Mawsynram, etc. India.
Your video is great but all the tips won't work for a large area.
However, money is the answer.
No money, No top soil!
