took up five and put inside my boy's insect box and then i mix some strong insecticide pour into the soil, didn't see any this morning....

TWE SG

Next time take a photo of the bug n we all discuss lar . Perhaps the bug is a beneficial bug to your plants ? You haven seen my earthworms all coming up when i water my plants lol. Anyway anyone here got a way to kill as many snails as possible in the shortest time ? I always put snail pellet to kill them and even cover my whole pot with salt only succeed in killing all existing snails nia but soon the eggs hatch and the snails multiply agn especially when me now working .

I bought the tiny pot of promegranate (sp?) 2 CNY ago, and in less than a year, it grew quite big and started bearing fruits sometime in Nov/Dec.

The fruit hung onto the medium-sized "tree" for quite a few months, throughout the 2nd CNY, until I removed them when they started to decay.

The tree is now quite big and gets trimmed until sometimes botak. Laughing It hasn't borne any fruits ever since though.

a_splash SG

WOW very nice.....the fruits....

sorry, didn't get to run into the nanny these days...so not able to ask about the soil...

by the way how about getting the growing fruit fertilizer from NTUC...its the dark blue color one i think.....

i am using the mix ones...about once fortnightly.....

Wanda SG

Yeah, the red flowers and fruits were quite pretty to look at. Smile

It's ok about the soil, splashy. Remember once I went to the MacRitchie nursery after work? The foreign worker recommended me burnt soil which turned out to be very good for the pomegranate. Now the leaves are growing into a dark green colour (instead of the previous light green which wilted soon after).

BTW, from your pic, your corridor railing is squarish in shape? Mine is round, so I wonder if the Toyogo box that you have can also hang onto the round railing?

a_splash SG

umm u will still need the wall as a support to keep the pot straight so on condition the gap between the rail and the wall is not too big, u can get one to try...

the two 'hanger' is $2 each (one pack one piece) and the pot is errrr i think less then $5.

I will go home and measure the length between the part hanging on the rail and the end of the pot, so that u can see if yours can use or not, ok....

Wanda SG

Your somewhat technical explanation is very good leh....I'm impressed. Laughing From your pic, I think it shd fit, coz the gap is not very wide.

Do you turn your pot around every week or so? Coz otherwise the plants tend to grow towards the direction of the sun, hor? All curved towards one side.

a_splash SG

i didn't, that's why my purple flowers all falling outside (they need all the sunlight bo pian), and i can't see its beauty... Laughing (i just LOVE that purple flower, its SOOOOO nice)...if only i m living at the lower flower can see it hanging out, will be very nice....

Wanda SG

Haa...so it's for your neighbours 1 floor down to see. Laughing

I turn the catnip plant everyday while it was growing...I was afraid the stems may all bend towards one side and then break off. But a big pot like yours is a bit too heavy to turn. Neutral

a_splash SG

u will be surprise how strong i can be......... Razz Embarassed

i happy happy will shift that here and there .... Laughing

by the way, ah nia, u got my pm boh??

poon cho tang SG

i remember the seeds taste really siap Laughing

Wanda SG

I've just checked...boh leh. When did u send?

Wanda SG

Actually, how does one eat this fruit that's filled with seeds? Laughing

I dare not try to eat it lah...coz i added lots of organic fertiliser to the pot (that's why the got flowers and then fruits). The fertiliser was made from sheep's dropping.

a_splash SG

that day when u offered to post them..... Laughing
