@agrotonomy: Growing 18 cabbages in 1 square meter is achievable with vertical farming on aeroponic towers. Cabbages thrive in cooler conditions, with optimal growth occurring at temperatures between 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C), but they can tolerate colder temperatures. Cabbage seeds germinate relatively quickly, typically sprouting within 5 to 8 days under ideal conditions. After germination, cabbage seedlings require about 3 to 7 weeks to reach a transplantable size. Once transplanted, cabbages generally take 6 to 10 weeks to reach full maturity, depending on growing conditions and variety. Early varieties mature faster, while late varieties may take longer. One of the most common pest problems you can encounter with cabbages are cabbage worms and moths. They chew large, irregular holes in leaves and bore into the heads of cabbage. The best natural solution to deal with these pests is Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a naturally occurring bacterium approved for organic farming. It effectively targets caterpillars, such as cabbage worms, while leaving beneficial insects unharmed. Use as a preventative at the first signs of the formation of the cabbage head. #cabbage #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #hydroponics #soilless
