Growing

[kcmontie]

so I order some seed and planted them today. They are so tiny. Anyone have experience. I got burly, red Virginia and what they called Kentucky. So we will see what happens.

I've got some seed from @kraigseder on IG I'll be starting in a couple weeks. But I'm clueless. Excited for this next adventure, and I'll remember to check in with you for updates!

This is pretty awesome.

I spent a few of my younger years in Connecticut. I recall many old tobacco barns and fields of shade leaf growing. Very pretty in the summer

Mods feel free to delete this if it isn't appropriate, but Fairtradetobacco.com is an excellent forum full of home tobacco growers and they have a wealth of knowledge they are willing to share. I would highly encourage checking over there for some how to's and best practices. I wish you luck and hope that you have a healthy harvest.

Update on my garden. There are some creatures in my garden that think tabacco is tasty.

Damn damn damn. I should have sent you some tobacco stems to make an organic pesticide. Soak the stems in water, put the resulting "tea" in a spray bottle, use that around the base of your plants to kill any unwanted critters.

@BrewinHooligan can I use cigar butts or clippings? thanks

You sure can. Any tobacco works. I suggest stems because that's where the majority of the nicotine in tobacco is and the nicotine is what kills the bugs.

Yup, we mix ours with a little soap too. We've had pretty good results using Diatomaceous earth too.

You might try Captain Jack's Dead Bug. It's organic. I use it in my veggie garden with great results.
