Humanure - Nothing wrong with that at all, sounds like your doing it right. Congratulations on going that route. Building your soil, building your garden, learning along the way !!!

Your garden is absolutely beautiful! We have sandy soil here in southeast GA so i am also having to build my soil. Y'all did better in 1 year than i did in 5! Great job!

I would venture to say with the slope of you hillside you could make a great root cellar for food storage and canned food.

Just to let you know we had apple trees in our yard and they all went what I call scabby they had little brown spots all over them found out that's a lack of iron so what I did is I took all my metal shavings from my band saw and from my shop because I did a lot of metal work tempted all around the ground of the apple trees the next year we had really good apples no scabs on them I think that's why if you look around the old orchards from years ago they always had old car parts in the orchards leaned up against the trees

Just remember root vegetables if they're in good drainage soil the kind grilled mining like gravel like potatoes and carrots you can leave them in the ground all winter if you cover them up so they don't freeze mind you it only gets maybe what minus 10 here in quarter you know that wine last door last year no problem with just Maple leaves

Garden looks great! Our peas are about the only thing that did pretty okay this year. Not much hope for the root veggies as our soil is sand and rock (!???!???). A good learning year for sure though. Definitely going to amp up on the squash, onions, spinach, and potatoes (depending) next year. Have a lot to learn on the varieties, too. Fingers crossed for our beets of 2021! Love the sunflowers, too :)

I love sunflowers!! So pretty!!! ❤️🌻 Also, another channel I love is called Good Simple Living, and they are big on growing their own vegetables and growing fruit trees. I highly suggest checking out their very early videos for some growing tips!! 😊❤️

Your volunteer tomatoes are probably from your humanure. Tomato pips are one of a few types of seeds that pass through the stomachs of animals that eat them, which includes humans. If you ever get to visit a sewage works, you will see loads of tomato plants, because of the seeds that pass through our stomachs, in to our poop and then grow wherever and whenever they come in to contact with soil.

Wow you're eating vegetables right out of the garden without washing them I used to do that too but I kept getting sick major heavy duty stomach aches couldn't figure out what it was till I found out because I wasn't washing the vegetables out of the garden and growing vegetables in poop you can get salmonella poisoning now I guess I was getting a slight salmonella poisoning because some of those stomachaches lasted for three weeks

If you grow potatoes make sure they grow in a contained area, if you just let them grow wild, they will grow everywhere and I mean everywhere. You might get you one of those big metal tubs and line it with plastic and try growing them that way. Potatoes will spread throught your garden, underneath your house and into the forest. Potatoes don't care where they grow, they just grow

So what strain is that?? Nice fat leafs so must be a indica strain. Our soil is mostly a clay base. But it does grow pretty decently. This coming season we will attempt our 1st garden here. Every spot I have cleared bare with the machine. Turned green and grew plant life. So that gives us hope. Plus all the neighbour have decent gardens. One of them mentioned adding ash from the fire to the compost as well. He said it helps with the acidic levels. Going back to the devil's lettuce. It grows very well here as well. Be planting in the spring as well. Gotta love BC :) Do you guys have any toads on the property?? They are great for bugs in the garden . A buddy , his father has little houses in his garden. And the toads do a great job of debugging. If I,m not mistaken the Guinea hens are great for bugs , where the chickens will eat your crops .

It needs to be finished before you put it in. But then again places on the other side of the world use "night soil" google it. We have been completely fine for many years now using our compost.

If you want to know more about soil balance take a walk in that forest and observe the leaf mulch on the floor. Study It closely and think about how no-one has ever had to do anything to It and It maintains a balance all the time. The leaves lock away the micronutrients and they fall to help make compost. For too many years the NPK balance has been pushed as being everything you need. That's incorrect it's a balance of all the micro nutrients as well. If pH (potential Hydrogen) levels are wrong then the plants take up all the stuff they don't need like carbonates Aluminium etc..take a walk and observe closely what nature has gotten right for centuries, yet we struggled to emulate It.

You're getting volunteer tomato plants because the animals that eat the tomatoes poop and then you got a tomato plant for next year because last year the rats ate all my yellow plum cherry tomatoes I only had like 5 or 6 of them like to pick them the next day they're all gone that night the rats ate them all and this year yellow pumped tomato plant cherry tomato plants all over my yard all over the place but they come up too late they're still green I got for good green you're a relish I guess
