Hi -- Absolutely! Avocados for one! Asparagus too! Ummm, can't think of any more plants with distinct sexes that start with A's, but I bet there are a bunch! Bob

Hi -- Also, there are likely fungi and bacteria and possibly insect eggs and larva and concentrations of fertilizer in the old soil that you wouldn't want migrating to your new crop. Use the old soil in a compost bin and make/buy new potting soil with each new crop. Bob

Hi -- 88malice, I will never go back to smoking commercially produced cigarettes again unless I run out of homegrown, and even then I will probably buy bulk lbs of uncut, uncured leaf to be certain there are no additives used to cover up the taste. I've been selling my tobacco seeds at...

Hi -- That's a very important question when sizing your crop. The standard answer is that each plant makes about 3 ounces of dried product. This assumes an average plant grown in an average fashion. One pound of tobacco will make on average 2-1/2 cartons of cigs. This will allow you to...

Hi -- Tobacco is subject to many pests. Generally, the tiny bugs you see on the underside of the leaf are aphids. They make their own "dew" which is very sticky. Ants like the dew, so you will frequently see ants travelling up and down the plants. On the off chance that you were container...

Z4qqqbs, Look at my posts before. I now have 4 kinds of tobacco seeds for sale and am getting a few other varieties soon. Send me an e-mail for a catalog. I will also personally help you start and grow your first crop. I've become a militant pro-tobacco guy! It's never too late to start...

BkBudz - If you have a flat roof and no shading trees, then you sure could grow a nice crop of tobacco up there. I know people who grew 200 plants in 4-5 gallon pots last year and the plants went to 8 feet tall! It would make send to put in a drip irrigation system, for sure. You'd also...

Hi -- You know, I spent the last 30 years playing in rock bands and consorting with all kinds of entertainment people like dancers and theater and in all that time, nobody has ever offered me a hit off a joint! Strange that is! (quoting Yoda) Bob

Hi -- ol hippy, yeah, we can grow our own tobacco and make it stronger in nicotine too. I smoke a lot less, it's healthier smoke and doesn't caintina nearly the amount of bad stuff in commercial smoke. Bob [email protected]

lol....no, but you get kudos for your focus! Bob

Hi -- chitownsmoking, maybe you would like a healthier alternative to smoking the commercial cigs with their pesticides and additives? Think about putting in a crop of your own tobacco this coming spring. Not only will you save mucho dinero, but you can remove much of the cancer risks...

Hi -- chitownsmoking, are you sure that tobacco is worse than some alternatives? Nicotine has a calming effect on your body. How many people would have to take anti-anxiety drugs if they quit smoking tobacco? Smoking lowers appetites and keeps people from becoming obese. Are you sure...

Hi -- #1Raiderfan - Thanks for the link to the other site and I'll surely follow it up. But I'm looking for the proper place here to start a discussion about growing your own tobacco. Maybe I'll just poke around and see if I can find a general gardening area here. I've run my greenhouse and...

Hi man, I sell tobacco seeds for much less than you can get them online. If you will e-mail me at [email protected] I'll be glad to send you a current catalog and I always send with each order the address of a website with complete growing instructions. I'm also on that site every day to...

Hi -- I grow my own tobacco at home every year and I put no pesticides on the plants and I put no additives like the witch's brew they put on all commercial cigarettes. Also, my home-grown tobacco has stronger nicotine so I smoke less, reducing the cancer hazards AND I do not use the high...

Hi -- I have about 80 Venus Flytraps I didn't sell this year and I keep them in my greenhouse in full sun and about 60-70% humidity. They need to be put into about 1/2 inch of either distilled or rain water. If your tap water isn't very alkaline, ph 7 or a little lower, then you can sit it...

Hi -- I've been searching the forum and have found the word tobacco all over the place, but no real discussion of growing it at home to avoid taxes. I assume lots of pot growers do it to avoid paying the high prices on the street? Since pot and tobacco are both semi-tropical plants, I...
