Anyone has any idea what type of plants to grow around the fences? I kinda like my fence to be covered with leafy plants; takes away the dull looking metal fences, heheh

I plan to plant creepers to cover my fence. What'd be best? I sort of thinking to plant vegetables, can cover my fence and can eat the vegetables. like baling 1 batu kena 2 burung!

When is the best time to spray weedkillers? And does it even matter?

Perhaps can consider cucumbers or winter gourd? I guess it depends on what you like and what type of fence you are talking about (whether it can support the weight of fruits/vegetables which can get real big).
Some people prefer to plant butterfly peas (bunga telang) instead as these plants are low maintenance and produce striking and abundant flowers which can be used in both drinks/meals.
Some other ornamental plants like morning glory and passion flowers can be considered too
Anyway, regardless of what you choose, growing creepers may be a problem when they get "out of control"- quite cumbersome to remove them from fences laugh.gif

Do let us know what you choose in the end~
Depends on how big an area you are talking about?  hmm.gif
I suppose if you want to clear an area for you to start planting something it would be feasible. However, if you are going to plant fruits and vegetables it may be a better idea to leave the plots for a while, so that you don't end up eating chemicals  puke.gif
After that you will probably have to rely less on chemicals, which is not really good for the environment.

My fence is the sturdy metal material, so i hope it can withstand the weight of fruits/vegetables.

And yeah, bunga telang did indeed cross my mind. That, and kacang panjang. But not sure whether it is worthwhile to plant different types of plants, especially considering that their need for water/air/sun may be different.

Well, my idea is to have creeper plants with flowers that bloom all the time, it sort of beautify my area the whole year round. anyways, will let you all know what plants I end up planting, hehe




On the weed, I sprayed Roundup during late evening. And since this is a systemic type of weedkiller, i should be able to see the impact in a couple of days.

As for carpet grass, which would you guys suggest? I am looking for one that's minimal maintenance, and doesn't grow so fast!

hi, didn't know there's a gardening club in lowyat forum. great! gonna follow this tered.
i suck at raising roses, many failed attempts. so i raise the kind i can use for cooking or can bear fruits. i have a few in my yard:
stevia, lemongrass, aloe vera, chinese chives, betel, turmeric, harbanero chili, chinese violet, pandan, lemon basil, cili padi, limau kasturi, bunga raya, belimbing buluh, mint, rambutan jarum emas, kedondong, semambu, mulberry, kari, henna, asian pigeonwings, passion fruit.

planning to add mango and bergamot.

hope to learn from sifus here.

first question wanna ask, how much water does chili plant need? a lot? frequent watering? once a day only?
*
Apparently, you only suck at raising roses, but doing well for the rest! Kudos biggrin.gif

My first harvest of chili! The plant has been growing well and healthy, lots of leaves and flowers, but so far only one fruit. Maybe I should do self pollination?

any plans to transfer to bigger pot or plant on ground?

A different situation for me pulak. My mint seems to be dying, even though I water it once a day. I placed it in a pot, and on a shaded area of my kitchen.

Grr this is getting annoying, and I am beginning to think that I am not meant to be a gardener! even taking care of mint (which is technically a weed) also cannot, hhaha.


Any suggestions?

is the soil very wet? mint only needs moist soil, not too wet.

It couldn't be that, as I water it only once a day, and didn't flood the soil. Could it be the location, then? to confirm, mint thrives in shaded / unshaded area?

put mint to get half day sun. and if the pot is small maybe drop some fertilizer in.. i use goat manure.

Thanks! by the way, i find that my outdoor plants are affected by ants. not sure what species, but is there a way to handle this?

Any recommendations for crawler plants that can withstand changes in weather (searing hot to very wet seasons) and is resilient to withstand abuse/neglect? Any ideas?

What about morning glory? i kinda like the colors, and the flower is edible (?) but dunno whether the flower will continuously wither and have to sweep often

Not sure if used ground coffee is okay with all plant types, or it works only for leafy/fruit plants..

Well the ones that get pollinated do I guess. I too lazy to self pollinate so I leave it to nature haha

Hahahaha!

Io another note, I plan to put money plant to crawl in my fence. But not sure whether to put it in the grounds ir in pots. I think pots would be best, but will be hard to change the soil..
