As a staple you should blanch it to remove oxalates or you will get sick. Boil for 2 min then use them.

Ya thanks for this. I have had a lot of questions about spacing. This helped a lot. I also was happy to see you can change the spacing in seedtime. That might have pushed me over the edge on getting the paid version. I was using another program and not being able to play with spacing has been frustrating me.

Chickens, yes, but recently, I have thinking about rabbits; I guess in Florida, it's easy to raise chickens. Love their eggs, of course, cakes, breakfasts everyday. Keep going.

100% This is what i do in my garden. Weeding is then not easy. Soil and water becomes a challange. But it is worth it. I am living and feeding my self on a 1,100 m2 piece of land. My stapel food is cassava, sweet potato, cuicken eggs and rabbit meat. I do grow spinach, carrots, beans, pawpaw, grapes, passion frute, shugarcane, and 1 lemon, 1 orange, 1 peach, 1 guava and 50 banana trees. I do keep 3 African bee hives,10 chickens and 5 rabbits. My water is only from rain and my electricity is solar.

I live in south florida and every fall i plant my tomatoe crop along with my other fall veggies and within a matter of weeks they are absolutely decimated by horn worms. Nothing i have tried seems to keep them away. Im to the point where im going to put them all under netting and hand pollinate them to help them along. I really wish i didn't have to do this. I have a pretty big garden and am pretty well versed in growing tomatoes but these horn worms are driving me crazy! Any advice?? Help!!??

How is this compared to Vego raised bed?
@TheUrbanHarvest13 күн бұрын
Have friends with the vego, they are happy overall because they like the painted look. The rubber that goes on the edge has already started to deteriorate in the year they have had them but the beds themselves are ok. I will say the metal on these Hopkins Hidden Homestead is MUCH sturdier/thicker. I also have larger soil volume so more plants : )

Growing in a subtropical climate, is very different from growing in a temperate climate. Temperate crops do not like heat or humidity so they do grow and taste better grown over the fall and winter. Summer is the most challenging months to grow anything. It is better to just harvest from June-August or spend the time on solarizing or improving the soil. Things that do grow through the summer are things like upo ( long green squash), sweet potato, shiso, roselle or false roselle, hot peppers, bull horn sweet peppers, chaya, kale grows year round with summer shade, but will be bitter in summer, NZ spinach or tropical spinach like Okinawan or Malabar spinach, green onions, ginger, turmeric, luffa is Chinese okra, but it is very prolific one plant is more than enough, citrus, chayote, wing beans, yard long beans, heat tolerant tomatoes and heat tolerant cucumbers.

Great tips! I prefer not to use any bedding that has "chunks" of wood from twigs etc. They take a very long time to break down and makes it a bit more work to get the castings out. Shredded cardboard and brown paper can take the place of wood from trees...because they are wood from trees. I use that along with compost, a bit of dirt/dust/ground eggshell. I do not layer the bedding materials, I mix them up. I also spray the bedding as I add it. I also chop up or tear apart the vegetable scraps. I do not liquify it or use a grinder, just by hand, maybe a knife depending.

Keeping it in the ground even if you think it died is solid advice. My blueberries had 2 that looked dead but came back 5 months later

How does chaya taste? Do we throw out the water that chaya is boiled in? What do we do with boiled chaya? Can we cook it in recipes?
@TheUrbanHarvest13 күн бұрын
It tastes like a simple nuertal flavored cooking green. Maybe like spinach or collard greens though slightly less bitter/tough. I toss the water on plants afterwards (theres some nutrients in it). I will use it as side greens, soups, drinks, etc. I have a decent handful of recipes in my Florida Heirloom Cookbook. theurbanharvest.com/search?type=product&q=cookbook

Banana: I’ve had mine 4 yrs now, and they have not given any fruit ever. They are planted on the north side (back) of our property in the swell that drains our land during wet season. No, the swell never have standing water but they do stay moist/damp all year long. Any advise?

I want bananas but the winters in North Florida can sometimes kill them off.
@TheUrbanHarvest13 күн бұрын
Yeah, its borderline. Plant them close to your house on the south side where they get full sun. It blocks the colder north winds and the house offers some insulation and warmth from heat leaking and reflection off the house.

Lychee and lokuat/kumkuat (may be spelled wrong) do fantastic and are low maintenance in FL too. I love regular mangos, but if you can get a banana mango tree, you're in for a real treat ❤ Oh and cocoa plums make wonderful hedges and taste great too! Like a coconut grape!

on jujube: what varieties worked for you? I live central Florida and have been struggling growing jujubes as a backyard gardener. They don't grow as well as they do in colder climates. I have sugarcane cultivar. it is about 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide and has a fewer than 10 fruits after 2 years (in pot 1st year and now in ground). Most of the fruits are dry, like foamy. Do you plant it facing south or west, or in cooler parts of the house? I heard tiger tooth variety does better in the south but can find any sellers in the US. Any advice is appreciated. BTW, Love you channel. Great work trying to promote a sustainable and practical way of life!

Very good video. What I do and it works wonders, is cheap and easy. First I have given up on no till, it just doesn't make sense in Florida sand. Then instead of growing a cover crop, I let someone else do it for me. Alfalfa is a relative of sunn hemp and also repels RKN. It also makes a great fertilizer. Organic afalfa can be bought for under $25 for a 50lb bag at any feed store. I till in about 2 bags for my 10k Sq ft garden with one 50lb bag of chicken manure and all of the compost I make 2X a year. I grow okra, tomatoes, peppers even malabar spinach directly in the ground and never have more than 2 or 3 knots per plant. Plus with the exception of plants like corn or onions, it is all the fertilizer that I use. Plus I can keep my bed productive year round. The only down side is Alfalfa is allopathic to other legumes. So I have to start any legume in trays and transplant them.
@Bob-w2b8j11 күн бұрын
Unless you have years and years, our soil needs some organic matter and if possible clay to start to get soil that is even usable. I'd agree that it's not a good idea to be dogmatic about something, you need to look at your own context. If I had an in ground garden I would 100 percent be open to tilling, at least up front
