Wow, I've been looking for a more visual video idea of how much i can grow and informative, while going straight to the point. Youre video does that exactly! You have a new sub! 😍 I have a similar tight space and i didn't know that you can yield 60-80 cucumbers per vertical plant!!! 😮 I accidentally planted way too many. So, then this begs the question, how many cucumber plant would you recommend to have in a 6x3 raised bed? Each square (more like 1.5x1.5) Could i have 4 per "square" if i do vertically? 😅 Thank you again!!!

Shall I let it go horizontally for maybe a foot so that it can form more roots and then take it vertically up or it’s fine with single stem to root and going vertically up straight away? My plant has grown hair as it was growing horizontally and now I have pulled it up vertically but those hair can form roots if I leave that part on ground. Worth it?

Great video! I'm trying to growing organic, wondering if there's a difference in mulch. My local garden center said they sell out of their organic mulch in March or April!?! I got a bunch of free mulch, but the bags say something about being treated to keep their color longer. Immediately alarm bells go off for me! I've also heard shredded paper is organic too? Any advice is welcomed, thank you 👩🏼🦳🤝

@6bgardening503

I believe so, but you have to be aware of if the variety is self pollinating or open pollinating (meaning it needs pollinators). If it's open pollinated, you'll need to open the GH to pollinators so they can pollinate your plants. Otherwise, you can manually pollinate the flowers as well. :)
