Wonderful article! taking care of koi fish and making them survive is not just like feeding them on time. It is something that you should take more seriously.

Always ask for professional advice! This really caught my attention. To see better output, it is much wiser to consult the expert before it could start stripping off your money slowly.

Thank you for the wonderful article. The laid down tips were such helpful to koi fish lovers, like me, in taking care of it.

Hi there,
I am new to gardening. We started this year by growing some vegetables. We are growing Snake gaurd but we have a strange problem. Ants are all over the plant. Plant is big in size now but all the flowers are falling off of the plant. We tried ant baits and some chemical which kills insects but no use so far. Can you suggest any thing to avoid this ants problem.
Thank you,
Sri.

Just a side note … I have been using these for a number of years … instead of the rebar I use one metal fence post and this secures the cage …

Karin, thank for your comment.

I don’t think it is a legitimate concern. Iron is not a synthetic product. It is a natural mineral which will degrade very naturally. These cages will last more than 15 to 20 years so it is not a use and throw item. Finally iron is good for the soil as well as for the human body. Iron is an essential component of Hemoglobin which contitutes your blood. Iron deficiency can cause Anemia in humans.

I made these several years ago after reading “World Record Tomatoes” by Wilber.
I haven’t used them again because I was worried about the rusted wire and how it would affect the tomato plants and the soil.
Is this a legit concern?

When determining the width of your cage remember: Pi * Diameter = Circumference so if you want the diameter 2 ft that is a 6.28ft x 7 ft piece. 6 ft wide = 1.91ft diameter

Patrick:

Thanks for your comment.

As far as the bitter melon plant is concerned, the height doesn’t matter much as long as it is a few feet above the ground. However as a matter of convenience I prefer them to be about 6 feet high, so that I can walk underneath the trellis to inspect the plant as well as harvest the melons when they are ready for picking.

Good luck

Iris

Thanks for your comment. You shouldn’t store your bitter melon seeds inside a fridge. These are tropical plants and cold temperature is not natural for them.

You can successfully store these seeds for the next year by keeping them inside a paper bag (I use brown paper bags) in a cool, dry place. Basements or the top shelf of a cupboard are good places to keep them.

Goodluck for a bumper crop of bitter melons this year.

If the seeds are germinated, you plant them with the leafy part upright … toward the sun.
