Cool video. How long does it take to root them and transplant them into a larger pot? I've seen some amazing dark purple ones on a main street near my neighborhood. I can get some cuttings off of it, but I was wondering how long it takes to get roots? Thx!
@TheMarkhamGardens11 күн бұрын
Thanks! It takes about 1 month for the cuttings to take root well. At that point, you can transplant them to trade 1 gallon pots. I usually allow them to grow out in the 1 gallons for a good few months before transplanting into the ground. Thanks for asking! Good luck on your variety collecting!

Our county has free wood chip mulch you can pick up starting April of every year. I have 2 ft raised beds. On my 5th year of using the mulch. 3 inches of wood chips turns into about 1/2 inch of black soil. One extra point. If you go to put them on the garden, add some green stuff to them if you don't have chickens or some kind of manure to mix in with it. This will be our first year doing back yard chickens. There will be 4 inches of mulch in the run and in the coop. That will make some amazing compost this fall or next spring. And BTW, most of the mulch here in Colorado is pine. Works perfectly fine if you let it sit over the winter and mulch the garden with it the next spring. I use the Back to Eden method on the beds. Only have to water once every 4 or so days and our humidity is very low. July to August is mostly 90 degree temps with little rainfall. Friends cannot believe how big our plants get. peppers that are supposed to grow 2 ft tall hit 3- 4 ft. I get 10 lbs of San Marzano tomatoes per plant that I limit to about 7 ft of height. And other plants have grown huge with nice production.

Are you using the Black Forest Slash/Mulch program? Helped Ruth Ann Steele who got that going, she's sadly passed, and we moved away, but after that horrific fire in 2016? That program was vital. So many dead trees. I'm now in Ohio, got road crew to give me hardwood chips when they cleared roadside easement. I'm going to try & compost it, but have much smaller property now - had 20 acres in Black forest. I've probably got about 10 yards of wood chips, so I'm going to try the Johnson-Su no turn (static) aerobic composting method. They say it takes a year - but they want chips smaller than what I've got, so it may take longer. I'll use some of wood chips on my garden pathways to keep weeds down, and not walk in mud. Right now, I just have a HUGE pile in my back driveway that's gotta get moved - uggh!

In central TX but I started mulberries (a red and a white) last year to go along with all the other stuff. If they are still strong next year I'm happy to send you some cuttings. For what its worth, with figs I just scalp 50-75% of the bottom bark and stick them into native soil - haven't had one fail yet.

what I've been doing is digging trenches in between where I want my rows of vegetables to grow. I use the clay I take out of the trenches to pile up the plot, then I fill the trenches with wood chips. By accident, I started adding coffee grounds to the chips (Starbucks freebee) thinking it would make it less hospitable to slugs and rodents. I didn't realize it at the time, but that mixes browns and greens right in between the garden plants, and composts like crazy. I did this in spring, and by mid summer, I could hardly tell where the rows of wood chips were, because lush weeds were growing in them, and the chips had turned to dark black loam. I noticed my plants (garlic) planted closer to those wood chips were much larger and lusher than the ones away from them! This stuff is amazing, and the coffee grounds make all the difference in breaking it down so fast!

I don't know if you've covered this topic already. I came across your channel today looking for an answer about the wood chips. Now that I see how your wood chips are spread out, I'm thinking I can use it to grow some grass and stop erosion. I have areas of nothing but rocky red clay in my yard. I think the wood chips will help me play the long game in cultivating a beautiful lawn.

Good evening from Southern England. We have a system here where local Councils own land which is divided into small areas and rented on an annual basis to residents of the area so that they can grow vegetables and fruit for their own consumption. They are called allotments. We get free deliveries of woodchips, both hardwood and coniferous, from local tree surgeons (arborists) and for the past couple of years I have composted these in plastic compost bins. where and when I can I mix the woodchips with grass or leaves and these speed up the decomposition process. Provided it is kept wet I can make good useable compost to spread on my heavy clay soil in about a year to fifteen months.
@TheMarkhamGardens3 ай бұрын
I think that's great that the ability to have access to a lot to grow your own food is available. Grass and leaves (especially still green) definitely contain more nitrogen so it would only stand to reason that the breakdown of the woodchips would be quickened with the addition of them. There is something so awesome about being able to make your own soil and being more self-sufficient. Kudos to you fellow gardener! 👊😎👍 What is your favorite thing to grow in your garden?
