Liquid Feed Fertilizer: Mix and Measure for Potted Roses and Other Plants
Water soluble fertilizer (either conventional or organic) can play an important role in "topping up" what's in your container or garden soil. You can mix according to manufacturer's directions. However, if you want a little more freedom to customize your feedings, it may pay to work with a combination of a variable hose-end mixing sprayer and an EC meter. Between those two tools, you'll have the flexibility to increase or decrease feed based on the needs of specific plants - stronger for fast growing annuals or roses, for instance, or weaker for early seedlings or light feeders. It's also handy as a frame of reference (and for your records) when you experiment with nutrients.

GRAFT
grafted-roses-and-rootstock
If you're comparing the advantages of grafted roses vs. own root (in theory, say) here's a reality check: you don't get to decide what's available! Many (especially larger) producers still primarily grow grafted roses, so if you want the rose of your dreams - you may need to be flexible on grafted roses and even the rootstock used by the supplier. Speaking of rootstock, there are 3 main commercial rootstocks ('Dr. Huey', R. Multiflora & R. x 'Fortuniana') you may want to be familiar with. Truth be told, there have been plenty of different rootstock varieties used over the years, and some growers are still likely testing new varieties. In this video, I'll go through some of the basics of why you'd consider choosing a grafted rose for your garden.
Here's that article I mentioned by Pam Greenwald on own-root roses (even in Florida!): https://angelgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/MayJun13_GoodEarth.pdf

IS TH
is-there-enough-air-in-your-potting-soil
One property of your potting mix you should be concerned with: does you soil have enough air spaces to maintain healthy roots? In this video, I'll demonstrate a quick an easy way to measure the approximate air-filled porosity (AFP) of your potting mix. The higher the porosity, the more air space there is for your plant roots - but it also means you may have to water more frequently. With a lower AFP, you can go longer between watering, but your plants may be more susceptible to root rot disease. Generally, a good AFP for containers and nursery production is between 15 and 25%. Here's a link with more details on what the % ranges mean:

YOUTU
youtube-alternatives-comparing-video
This video is a comparison between Youtube and it's competitors (such as they are!) Odysee, Rumble and Dailymotion. My honest take on these alternatives to Youtube is a bit underwhelming: none of them are ready to offer a viable option for small creators without some serious growth and change. Odysee and Rumble are about the closest I could come as long-form cempetitors: it's easy to move existing video content onto these sites, and their overall usability is good. However, I also offer a couple of suggestions for changes they'd need to make in order to be truly competitive.

ROSES
roses-in-tropical-climates
Roses are not generally tropical plants, but thanks to the inclusion of a couple of sub-tropical species in the breeding of modern roses, many can take the higher temperatures and moisture of lower latitudes. In this video, I discuss managing roses in times of high temperature, humidity, rainfall - and I also recommend some roses that perform well in tropical gardens.

BLUET
bluetti-ac200p-portable-power-station
Even though we're on-grid for power, it can be pretty unreliable during weather extremes - making power backup a life or death situation for our plants. Aside from emergency use, I'm quite pleased to have something so quiet and portable to provide power on or off the farm. I'm already planning to take this on daytrips, video shoots and even to the farmers market. Here on the farm, I can use it to run our electric sprayer for larger jobs, to power tools on projects or run the projector outdoors on movie night.
Thanks to Bluetti for providing the power station for this review. Here's a link to their website for this item:

For a newer version of this video with less noise: https://youtu.be/ADu5d0Jt4GQ
I'll compare own-root roses with grafted, and explain some of the differences. Also, I have a root-stock sucker in my garden to remove, so you may as well watch me do it. Apologies for some of the wind noise - I could blame mother nature, but it's probably my fault for not waiting for a calm day to make the video.

FROM
from-cutting-to-planting-full
How long do you have to grow a cutting until it's ready to sell or plant in the garden? I've put together this video to explain the full timeline and stages to propagating from cuttings, based on my own local climate. You will definitely need to adapt the timings to match your own growing season and conditions. I also made a chart detailing the steps and growing environment along the way. If you want a copy, you can find it here (free): https://www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com/timeline-from-cutting-to-planting/

PEAT
peat-and-sphagnum-for-growing-plants
Peat is not my primary potting medium - but I do use it for some propagation. As an ingredient in a soilless potting mix, peat does a wonderful job of holding moisture. When mixed with lime, a wetting agent and the appropriate size of perlite for the use, the resulting potting soil supports fast growth for annuals, tropicals, succulents, veggies, herbs and a wide range of other plants. Here I'll also discuss the ecological debate around the harvesting of peat from bogs (focusing on the industry in Canada). Yes, there are concerns around sustainability, but that's true of just about every natural resource in Canada or the world. To me, it doesn't make sense to target the peat harvest as a problem.
Here's the link to the article I mentioned on the Canadian Wildlife Federation Site: https://cwf-fcf.org/en/news/articles/for-the-love-of-peat_resource.html
