Thoughts on my plan? I have lots of weeds that I pulled recently. If I put those green weeds in a trashcan and fill it with water, I’m hoping I can make nitrogen-rich water. Then I will take old logs and soak them in the nitrogen-rich water for a few days. I will then add those logs to the bottom of my raised bed on top of cardboard.

This is very similar to how I garden. I am a bit of a chaos gardener but also I use the seeds from what I've grown to plant the next season. Some of my seeds are from several generations. I only provide water, deep mulch, and some pull and drop weeding or top dressing with cut grass, leaves, etc. Many of my plants come back on their own year after year such as tomatoes, watermelons, all kinds of squash, greens, etc. I'm zone 6 in the sw plains.

I have been freeze drying beets, lemons, turmeric, ginger and other medicinal plants and powdering them for a morning shake. I seem to be burning fat, my blood pressure has gone down and my joints don't ache as much. Just 1/4 to 1/2 tea spoon of each is all I am doing daily. The doctors have removed most of the meds that I use to take. I think that is 80% of why I feel better. Most of the seeds I use are from the Survival Garden Seeds Co. And Johnny's

Hi Gardener Scott, I have a major question??!!! Am I wasting my money using worm castings, as I only have chlorinated water!!! DO you??? I thought most cities have chlorinated water??? I don’t have the space like you to collect water… this whole thing is confusing me!!! Can you help me?
@GardenerScottКүн бұрын
I use worm castings and I have treated water. I don't think it's a waste of money. The water is not enough to kill all of the beneficial bacteria in the castings. If you allow the water to sit overnight before using helps the chlorine dissipate.

Dear Gardener Scott,I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I recently watched one of your videos on your channel about greenhouses, and I was truly impressed by the valuable work you are doing to benefit farmers and citizens alike through promoting healthy agriculture.Your insights into greenhouse technology are particularly fascinating, and I have a question that pertains to my specific circumstances. In my country, we experience a hot climate in the summer and a relatively cold climate during other seasons, characteristic of a Mediterranean climate. Additionally, we have regions that are 400 meters below sea level.Given these unique conditions, I am curious to know if greenhouses can be effectively utilized for commercial agriculture over large distances. Can they provide the necessary environmental balance to support extensive farming operations in such varied climates?Your expertise and advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am eager to explore sustainable agricultural solutions that can benefit our local farming communities. Thank you for your time and for the incredible work you continue to share. Warm regards,
@GardenerScott2 күн бұрын
Greenhouses have applications over many different climates but they may need supplemental equipment for climate and seasonal variations. Electrical or gas ventilation systems, heating equipment, or cooling machines may be necessary. Additionally, humidifiers or dehumidifiers may be needed based on climate. Lighting and irrigation systems are often required. I garden at high altitude and low humidity, with very hot summers and very cold winters without electricity and that influences when and how I can grow in my greenhouse. I choose to do it by myself with the known limitations. The cost and effort increases with more extensive operations, particularly if greenhouse management must overcome climatological limitations.

Quick question: I have a silver maple tree sapling with 4 leaves growing in my yard, but the lawn company just put out nitrogen fertilizer. It gets a good ratio of sun to shade where it is, but would relocation to a pot with better soil than the red clay it has right now be a good option? I could dig it out while it is still small and hopefully give it a good start until I can put it out in the yard when it’s sturdier later on
@GardenerScott2 күн бұрын
If you want it in a different spot you can move it to a pot but it will be stressed and possibly damaged. If your long-term plan is to grow it in the same spot, consider leaving it. It will be growing in your clay soil wherever it goes and smaller trees often do fine when exposed to their permanent growing spot early. The nitrogen shouldn't harm it.

@GardenerScott2 күн бұрын
The seeds need to mature on the plant while it's growing to be viable. If you're saving them for the kitchen and not for growing, you can hang and dry.

Thanks for your video. It has been a great help. We inherited a lilac bush when we purchased our house 2 years ago but I have been to scared to prune it for fear of doing something wrong. Consequently it’s ballooned to over 2 1/2- 3 m tall. I’ve just finished pruning out a third of the most mature branches and cutting off the spent flowers. Can I ask? Is it okay to prune the flowers that have got (what looks like) new sea pods growing in them?

Yes, it is okay. Annual pruning involves cutting back the branches after flowering as the pods are developing.

You conveyed a lot of good information Scott. I do have a few suggestions. I like to remove Woody material during the dormant season only. If I want the shrub to flower better I do as you suggest and cut off the seed pods, but I only cut off the seeds and try to leave all of the leaves in place to provide vital food for the tree. Pruning vegetation after flowering requires the tree to regrow and expend extra energy to recover its former food supply that was removed.That regrowth grows rapidly and is subsequently weak . Pruning 1/3 of a tree or shrub should be a limit, not a goal . There are many 100 + year old lilacs in my area that are absolutely stunning with stems up to 8 in in diameter. These were lilacs that were well cared for and not over pruned. Their branches grew slowly and were subsequently strong enough to withstand many Montana Winters. All that said, lilacs are extremely Hardy and will often be only one of three plants left on Old Windswept Homesteads. Irises and rhubarb being the other two. Keep up the good work and thanks

Moving them into a protected area can help. A warm garage, a basement, an insulated shed. If they freeze and dry out they won't make it through winter.
