how's it going everyone and welcome to my backyard gardening YouTube channel were I'm
all about trying to help you guys grow as much of your own organic produce
for as cheap as possible as I'm doing the same thing. So today I'm going
to be planting coffee and I'm going to actually be planting it in containers
and we're actually in a really cool climate zone
so if at all during this video you find this interesting just make sure you
click on that subscribe button and then also hit the bell or ring the bell and
that way you will stay notified whenever a post a new video so planting coffee so
the coffee that I have is the variety a Aribica which is one of the main two
varieties probably most well-known which the other being the robusta the good
thing about the Aruba cut variety is that it has a perfect flower so the
flower has both the male and female parts so pretty much this means that it
can self pollinate whereas the robusta you need multiple trees to get a good
pollination and therefore a good crop now copy is a subtropical / tropical an
understory tree so it does like a temperature of around 15 to 25 degrees
Celsius with a bit of humidity and also really hates being below 5 degrees
Celsius so make sure that you keep it in a spot that probably has the Morning Sun
but is definitely sheltered from the hot afternoon Sun and is definitely
protected from Frost's thinking about Elliot who's here in South Australia
where I live is that we get frost here quite frequently so I'm going to be
making sure that I put it in a spot that has the Morning Sun but is definitely
protected from our hot summer sun afternoon zone and also in a spot where
I can easily protect it from Frost's now coffee is definitely summer active
growing and as being a tropical plant it's used two slightly different
conditions so in summer it's good to really give it a lot of water and give
it a lot of nutrients as it puts in a new lot of flush of growth which will
then flower the following year and then during winter if you're not from a
tropical sort of area during winter trying almost put it in a position or
minimize the water and just put them under a bit of water stress
because this is just mimicking their natural environment in a tropical zone
and then when spring comes when the war warmer weather ramps up then that way
you also just ramp up the water that way it will just really put on all of its
energy into putting a new growth and really take advantage of those good
growing conditions and now onto the soil mix so copy is a fairly hungry feeder it
really likes it's sort of major nutrients being nitrogen potassium and
phosphorus and also really like some of the minor elements such as like zinc and
I so basically the recipe that I'm going to be trying for growing this coffee is
three parts of honey mix - one puff compost and then I'm also going to be
adding in a couple of good handfuls of blood and burnt as a slow-release
fertilizer that also it has some software to polish for good flowering
and fruit development in the further years to come and then also also going
to be adding in a good handful of trace elements so this will provide the things
like the iron and the zinc and also the boron and stuff like that those little
mini gritty picky sort of elements that poppy really needs to grow well okay so
now for planting so I've made my growing media and this is the root cap so this
is the 30 litre root pouch which is the first coffee is going to go into so just
first of all I'm just gonna make sure that it is centered and it's the right
depth which that is I'm going to be growing it slightly under its original
depth so pretty much just be back filling with the plant still in the pot
this way it will create a bit of a bulb and all that I'll have to do
once the soy is filled up all I'll have to do is take out the coffee out of its
pot and they'll all be a little hole for it city to finish just filling this up
that looks good so now I'll just take it out yeah you guys got a little mold for
me this is start to get a bit pop down try and get the roots to be growing down
already family put that in the hole push down around it make sure it's straight
now I'm just going to keep on backfilling just until 3:00 okay then
that is the first one put it up so I'm going to be putting up the second one
the exact same way and then I'll just be showing you guys where I'm going to be
positioning these for the in the best area for the weather and the conditions
that we have here so here you go guys this is where I have
positioned my copy so as you can see it's up against this brick slash slate
wall and as you can see as the sun's shining on it what that is going to do
is actually it's going to absorb all that heat and then actually radiate that
heat back out when it starts to get a bit cooler at night giving just the copy
plants a bit of an extended period of warmth
also it does actually receive the morning Sun so as you can look up there
the Sun sort of rises in winter just by that house and then in summer it gets
more it will get a bit more Morning Sun so it gets a bit of morning Sun and then
this sauce shrub here is protecting it a bit from the sort of the middle of the
day the hot Sun especially in summer but it does get a bit of filtered light
through it which is really good and then in the afternoon or to swing around in
the afternoon it gets just all that clear sky out there so it has that
slightly cooler but I'm still good sunlight so it should be a really good
position for it so there you go guys that pretty much wraps up the growing
coffee in a container video so I'm really excited to see how the coffee
plants actually do in this sort of climate so we do have a bit of elevation
it is like I said in a started video here quite cold here especially in
winter it's very very cold so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the
coffee's coffee plants will actually grow in this sort of climate so that is
pretty much it before I do move on with the end parts I do have to give that a
