September 7, 2020Q.How to plan to intercrop in a farm?
Hi, I'm a student currently working on a project in Vietnam with okra, chillies and eggplant. I've read the article with what factors to take note of, but was wondering if there was a guideline that could better my understanding of the principles as well as make the work more efficient. For example, a brief list of factors (without examples) and how to decide on what method and when to start planting. Thanks for reading :)

Certified ExpertA.Since you're in Vietnam, I'm not sure what your resources might be. Here's an article from an extension service in Texas that might give you some ideas as well as a general article.

I imagine Vietnam has it's own programs;
I do think you'll find more relevant information locally, but some of our Southern states that have warm, humid weather may have what you need through their agricultural programs. Here's a way to look up extension service offices in the US: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htmWas this answer useful?00

Certified ExpertA.Here are a bunch of reasons for leaves turning yellow. Compare them with your situation and hopefully it will narrow down the problem.

September 12, 2020Q.POULTICES on burned trees
Not a question- but is additional info-- we have diff types of burn in f.nth tropics. From cyclones, bark & trunks burn grey, brown or black caused by continuous strong winds 10 hrs or so from a cyclone. The color, severity of burn tells you how strong the wind was..Black is 200/300 KLM winds. Brown is less 300 KLM winds will completely strip all bark off. In fire burned trees-- I'd tip 4 buckets of new healthy dirt/ soil around roots & water in for hours. This is like a poultice & vitamin tab to help new rejuvenation. It helps new bark, new leaves quicker.. Rejuvenate the soil on roots & water would be the 2 first best things to do.

South AfricaQ.You Might Consider Making Your Information Clear For Non-northern Hemisphere Readers
In your page https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/indoor-orchid-care.htm you mention east to south-facing window or room and 15 degrees. I suspect that you are in the northern hemisphere and so for us in the southern hemisphere it would be east to north-facing. I suspect that 15 degrees cooler is Fahrenheit, and so it would be more like 7°C to 8°C cooler. Just so you know there are people in the other hemisphere, and we are not so behind the world as to still use Fahrenheit, Imperial measurements, and so forth ;-) But thanks for your article. Fortunately I grew up with Imperial measures and am an ecologist, so I have an idea of why the east to south-facing window or room is important - in the north... Cheers from the Fairest Cape in the Whole Circumference of the World - Cape Town, South Africa :-) Les Powrie

Certified ExpertA.Could they be seed pods? Without more information, such as the plant name and/or a photo, we can't really make a determination.
The only other thing I can think of, without more information, is possibly another plant or weed seed blew in and is growing among the main plant.

October 9, 2020Q.How do you build a stumpery?
We are volunteers on a public park in Southport, Merseyside. We look after many flower beds including our nationally known Fernery. We have had many plans all come to fruition but our latest is really a stump!! Have you got any instructions for me to be able to print out, regarding starting and maintaining a Stumpery.
