Episode 75

Percolation Test, Plant Hormones, and Blossom-End Rot

On this week's episode, Nathan helps you determine if your gardening soil has good drainage or poor drainage. A simple percolation test can help you discover how quickly (or slowly) water moves through your soil. Wet soil is usually never a good thing. Then, Nathan takes you on a journey through plant hormones and how they affect plant growth. The Big Five- Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin, Ethylene, and Abscisic Acid- all have different roles to play in the development of your plants. With a little knowledge of how they work, you can help your plants grow the best they ever have!
