For some reason i struggle to grow chives from seed... ending up buying starters :/

Oh god... mowing over leaves 😮 Please consider there might be hedgehogs sleeping during the day 🦔 And if they haven't all been killed or injured horribly by all those robo lawn mowers, hedgehogs also appreciate a pile of leaves to hibernate.

Seems super obvious

I spread mine over the yard and it insulates the grass from the snow. I mulch them up with the mower early in the spring and have a green lawn a month before everyone else! Even in the dead of winter, I've checked under the leaves and found the grass to be green and healthy. It works very well

😂That pasta vs rice clip. As I watched it, I had just decided to prepare the cheesy tomato and beef pasta I like, rather than the beef stroganoff he prefers. You see, he has been a little 'attitudish' lately; so I have been keeping quiet and reminiscing. (We actually signed a contract before marriage, that he barely even honored in the first month.) Last night, I also realized that I could have possibly saved up to $800,000 by now, had I remained single. (Only just made our 2 yr anniversary.) I have been the understanding mother, sister, daughter, niece, granddaughter, cousin, and wife for too long. This is obviously why there has always been a lack of respect. However, I prefer my solitude over trying to convince the few fools I know, how to treat me. I enjoy my peace, and seriously considering a change already 🤷🏽

You say shred the leaves with a mower, then you proceed to place unshredded leaves on you garden? WTF

Please look up the Luna moth chrysalis stage.... don't chop the leaves so many beneficial insects use the and animals for surviving winter❤

Great video! Is it safe to eat kale or swiss chard that has turned gradually purple over time? I suspect the phosphorous deficiency in my container greens.

This is the 2nd video I watched regarding leaves. I am going to make a compost pile with leaves since the city couldn't get them quick enough before the snow is here.

I have been wasting free money to Home Depot. :(

Thanks for the tips I will try large Mason jars . I think soil is messy Water should be better Let me give it a try 🤠

Don't mow your leaves. There are lots of beneficial insects that overwinter in leaves. When you run the lawn mower over them you are destroying the creatures. It doesn't make sense to try to use it to benefit your soil but then you take out the beneficial insects in the process.

I use my mower with the bagger on to collect them. Works like a charm.

And what if you have 29 oak trees and are overwhelmed with leaves. Clogs the mower when I try to use mower to mulch them. That many leaves will kill the grass. What should I do?

A friend said she had bags and bags of leaves she was throwing out! I had her throw them out INTO MY YARD! I put them to good use!

I have a leaf pile that is a winter home to dozens of darling whooly bear caterpillars. 😊

I use a large trash bin and my weed wacker to mince leaves with less dust and noise

Don’t forget to spray it down with water so it doesn’t blow away!

Thank you mate

Nice and informative. I need to see if I can get my hands on some of that insecticidal soap in Sweden. I have had to use a mix of dish soap and just soap (I'm not sure there's an English word for it, but in Swedish it is called "såpa"). From what I've noticed it doesn't fully trash the "waxy coating" on the leaves, but some of it is removed. Would be nice with something that hopefully removes none of it 😄

One or two tablespoons of soap in a gallon of water will cause minimal damage. Your information is misleading and incomplete.

Usefull information

Just a quick question... my overwintering chillies are growing leaves like crazy... should I de leaf them or just let it go in the hope that in spring they will start extra early?

Our animals love them, our garden loves them, and the compost pile loves them.

Leaves are called leaves for a reason

What do you suggest to use to keep the plant from sinking down into the water?? I’m using some vases and crocks that I like looking at, and a wine glass, but the actual plant part needs a support to keep it propped up out of the water.

Annual vegetable gardens and perennial forests have different nutrient requirements. The leaves are great for the fungal dominated soil ecology that forests require, but annuals are generally adapted to bacterial dominated soil systems. I agree with your assessment overall and I use leaves in all my gardens, but it's meaningful to know that the leaves are especially good for perennial garden systems.

True..leaves are gold..only gardener relate😊

Thank You BEAUTIFUL ONE❤❤❤

I did this, but pests are eating all of my veggies. I can't keep a single plant. I tried neem oil and spices, but nothing is keeping pests away.

In the forest, the leaf layer is called duff. I rejoice at every fallen leaf, imagining future duff.

I prefer not to mow. There's a lot of beneficial insects that lay their eggs on leaves that'll hatch by spring.

I wouldn't recommend chopping up the leaves because some of the leaves may contain the larva of really good predators that will keep your garden protected from bugs.

Unless they contain black walnut.its toxic to most plants.❤😂

Great content! KZbin recommended this short to me from nowhere and I liked it!

What are the tall grass like plants that are in the beginning of the video?

Addendum: Fallen leaves are also crucial for the survival of beneficial insects over the winter months. They hide beneath them as it gets cold to hibernate and survive til spring. Leave some leaves!

I've had best results with my mulcher crushing leaves/ garden waste and grass clippings by mid summer it's a great compost for free other than some work. Thanks you both and let her help outside also.

Do dehydrator pull a lot of electricity?

This was SO helpful ! Thank you very much for the information and just the right amount of detail.

re store bought garlic, i tried it last year as an experiment because my supermarket was selling off bags of loose cloves cheap, no they dont all work but after i set them up in a tub lined with cotton wool to keep it moit root eand down and lid on tight it took a while but they did shoot roots, so if youre feeling experimental go ahead and try store bought, dont forget to give em a good wash then pre sprout and plant them. i know i like this garlic cos its what i buy to eat and this year ill have fresh ones to plant

grow your own limes!

I just received a batch of microgreen seeds from Cali-Kim. Anxious to get into it. (I'm growing three varieties of peppers while I'm at it. Guess where that inspiration came from...) My biggest question was on how and when to harvest microgreens. thanks for the video.

Not surprised by a white man adding basil to salsa lmao, at least it looks like it’ll “tener pica” 😬

I should give garlic a try but it's already November and I'm in zone 4b.

Been growing for several years, music is a great variety…

Thank you Brother. We have had problems growing garlic. Great information 😊❤

Great advice… especially- plant enough/more than enough… I’m buying garlic this year to plant because of my error in planting enough or gave away too much… ooops. Also, thanks for the reminder on the naturalizing process… I think I take that for granted.. 💚✌🏼🐸

Great tips!
