You mentioned that… in one video, an Asian variety of spinach I think? Also… can you make your own potting mix at all? I’ve sure loved your videos… so very helpful!!

I also check daily the incredible charts you provided. Things now started to make sense to this beginner gardener. Thank you for all the knowledge and support you gave me.

I am good with everything else, but mulching was a game changer for me this year. I grew up in a very bountiful yard with prolific harvests off every tree. Grass grew up to the trunks (until shaded out by the trees), lawnmowers were run roughshod over tree roots, and nothing was ever mulched. Didn't stop the trees from being loaded. The micro climate in my garden is tricky and so I thought, "why not?" and my plants just took off. I'm a believer now.

North Florida, in the Panhandle, zone 8B. I am SO happy I found your channel! I struggled for years trying to figure out why my gardens here did not perform like they did for my aunts and grandparents in Virginia and Kentucky, that I grew up with. The things you are talking about for growing in Florida, I learned the hard way. 🙃 I’m retired now and ready to go at it again! I’m excited to take your “Florida” information and run with it! 😁 Thank you for your great information and so well presented. FYI- I’d love to learn how to safely preserve my garden food.

Thank you for the great info, I look forward to your videos. My questions would be: 1. When amending beds for new season do you blend the mulch in? I have oak trees that drop leaves for a long period of time into my raised beds so would I just blend into dirt when amending? 2. How do you organize how to prepare for upcoming crops to be started, ie: purchasing seeds etc? Sweet potatoes needing sprouts to plant on time.. 3. How do you preserve all your harvest? You seem to have alot, that's more the personal side...lol

You mentioned about 12 different fertilizers in this video, but have you ever considered about how Native American Indians only used one dead fish per plant by just putting the fish in the hole then putting the seeds in over the fish then covering it up with dirt. I always wondered how this worked out for them.
@HomegrownFloridaZ9a
8 ай бұрын
Haha. I think it was more like 5 but I totally get what you are saying. I would think the whole fish would be similar to using fish fertilizer which has a ton of nutrients. If you fish or have cheap access to fish, it would definitely be an option for fertilizing your garden. Kelp is another natural fertilizer along with the blood and bone of butchered animals.

Love your videos. New to Lake Placid 9b, can’t wait to start my new garden! For your new series… how to get started (fresh canvas, dirt back yard/grass front/western exposure)? What got you started in gardening? What are your favorite varieties? What do you grow that produces the most AND is useful in your kitchen? How do you stop yourself from doing everything at once (newbish excitement)? I have a container garden now at rental and I went kinda wild with tomatoes and hibiscus but didn’t do so well because I was terrible with watering. Great lesson for me that a drip system is a must for me. Also, best times to harvest and best storage/preservation options? I’m sure you’ve probably answered some of these, I’ll have to revisit some your vids. ❤

Great questions…mulching moderates soil temperature..so when it’s hot, it keeps the soil cooler. It also keeps the UV rays from killing soil life. In cold temperatures it keeps the soil warmer. For us in Virginia, it will keep the soil from freezing. My soil stays mulched all year long..worms eat it up, leaving worm castings. Can’t say enough about mulch!

@@billelrod1779 yes that is why here I wait until end of our short winter. Then I take the oak leaves from the fall and mulch the garden with them to help keep soil cooler in spring which is like Virginia Summer. I like much just run a different system. I also do more row gardening.

I have this situation, I have raised beds with "good soil" but my plants dont perform. I am guessing that the water is the culprit. The water that I use is from well water and i have sprinklers because that is what the house brought. The water stinks like rotten eggs. I don't know what to do with this water. Is there something that I can do with this water to make it better for the plants, or should i use the softened water from the home that has more salt? Should i add more fertilizers to plants? Is there anything that can be done?

That probably means a high sulfur content in the water. From what I’ve researched, that really shouldn’t have a negative impact on the garden but there could be something else in the water that is hindering growth. I would suggest getting a water test. Usually pool companies will do it or you can buy at home tests. That way you can try ruling that out first. If it comes back with other issues, i would try collecting rain water. It’s really the best.

Not enough water or too much water. Insufficient sunlight. Spacing of plants. Not mulching. Not fertilizering. Wrong variety of a plant. Planting at the wrong time. The only one I disagree with is adding fertilizer, without having your soil tested. You are more than likely will be throwing your money away by adding nutrients you do not need. You might be harming your soil. You can get a soil test done for $20 in most states.
