Pure alfalfa pellets are a good source of nitrogen also. Scratch a few into the soil surface.

Also watch for weed killer in hay iegrazeon,2,4-d in manure will kill your crops to test put manure or hay in bucket of water let sit 24 hr pour on weed click next day this test also for compost Thank

Love the shirt! I’ve found sometimes it takes awhile for the nutrients to be released. I alway give them some fish fertilizer to help out at first

I was just wondering how your orchard is doing?

Even though you have good drainage… watering every other day will leach the nutrients out of the soil. Raised beds have a learning curve for sure; I am doing raised beds inside the greenhouse for the first time this year. Plants were taking way too long to take off. So I have started fertilizing once a week with Jacks 20-20-20. Everything is now lush and green and doing much better. I am curious about one thing; why are your new white beds so far apart? (It appears to be 5 or 6 feet between them.)

Need to order onion sets in oct dickendale farms

I’m a master gardener in NC and SC both. Both instructors said not to plant in pure compost as you have. You really need soil mixed in. The soil test will tell you a lot.

Check your soil for excessive salts(Grayzon) in the soil.

Sprinkle your plants with a blend of pure nitrogen, pure potash and sulfer, Do noget too close to the base of your plants to avoid burning them.. I had the same problem with my raised beds plants just didn't look very good. I have been doing this my whole life, and a lot our soil is lacking potash, and nitrogen. You blended your raised beds with the same thing I used and I had the same problems. I fed the beds with a generous blend of potash and nitrogen, things are looking great now. Jessie from Arkansas

Do you think the ground temperatures are still a little cool at night? 50,s and 60’s at night up here in Benton County.

Are you sure you don’t have Grayzon in the soil?

I'm betting on pH. Going to guess peat moss. Hope it is that simple....looking forward to July tour.

We half and core our garden tomatoes, then give each half a good squeeze into a colander, saving the juice. Though we lose some of the sugar and flavor from not cooking down the processed tomatoes with the juice, it saves hours of time in the process. At the finish of the jarring of our sauce, or salsa, we cook and add salt to the juice and can it to add to soups.

A big handful of earthwork castings at the base of each plant has helped to chase away the aphids for me.

I’ll be curious about the soil test but it looks a lot like the problem Jess at Roots & Refuge. She bought local organic compost and turned out there was GRAZON (from Round Up) in it. Yours is not as evenly mixed in. OR if the organic matter is not thoroughly decomposed, it will leach the nitrogen out of the soil.

You need some ashes in every bed.

Just my opinion it could be heat from the black weed fabric? I would miracle grow everything !

Is the soil in the tubs in the greenhouse the same as what you used in the raised beds?

Perhaps there's a small amount of Grazon in the compost

You guys are such experts, you will figure it out; sorry you are having problems!! I agree that the soil probably needs enrichment, you just never know how good ¨compost¨ really is if it´s not your own. Hope everything continues to go well with Kevinś dad´s recovery. Love you guys! LOVE Kevin´s T-Shirt.,

Didn't you use the same soil in the greenhouse and raised beds outside?

Wonderful tour of the beautiful gardens; thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

Plant green bean plants with the lettuce? Huh?

Need greener plants? Probably need more nitrogen, more iron, better chelation of iron and/or right pH like you suppose. Chlorophyll requires magnesium to form, so you might possibly need more available but that is less of a likely risk factor.

Wish I could talk to you guys about some beans I'm trying to go. I'm certain you guys will get it sorted.

How big around do we cut the holes for planting things like tomatoes, beans, peppers, corn, etc? We have learned so much from your videos! Bless you for sharing your knowledge.🥰

Looks like the plants need some nitrogen! The onions should be dark green. NITROGEN

Your adparagus looks great. ThZt is about the amount of growth you get for the first year

I am by no means an expert, your beds are light colored but the pots are black abd those plants look better. You may have cold soifor the yellow color. Love your videoes. Mike

Chemtrail residue look at your sky.

Jesus Christ and Mamma Mary thank you so much for handling everything . .. Send your Holy Angels 😇😇😇😇😇 and Saints to Protect and Provide your loving dedicated families everywhere... My prayers for you guys🙏✨✨✨✨🌟💫🪄😊

My gardens are gone! Bad thunder storms 2 weeks ago, golf ball to baseball size hail took everything out! The plastic on my green house destroyed.

Even though the soil in the raised beds is compost that process can deplete the mix of nitrogen. Depending on the base components the micro nutrients can vary greatly even in the same bed, if the compost was not mixed often enough the mix can have great variation. Soil test should show what is lacking. Some complete fertilizer while waiting on test results will not hurt.

Like the patty pan squash, the onions are doing better on one side than the other.

You should have used the rabbit manure.

How do you keep the weds under control in the raised beds?

Aphids indicate that you have too much nitrogen in the plants, possibly from the compost.

Overwatering is not a drainage problem; it means that the water is washing away the meager nutrients in compost. You need Microlife 6-2-4 or 8-4-6 immediately to grow strong plants. Then some organic option to give the plants nitrogen once the plants have fruit the size of a dime. I use calcium nitrate bc i don't think that fertilizer needs to be 'organic'.

I’ve been growing in these beds for three years. The first year was a struggle! Best advice, keep building your soil. It will get better. More organic material helps. Year three is magical! Blessings!

The NPK of compost is something like 0.5-0.8-0.7. Not enough, and compost is a component of good soil; compost is NOT a growing medium.

Talk to Jess over at Roots and Refuge, she had contaminated potting soil a couple of years ago too and this looks like the same result she was having.

If you have aphids, you probably have ants.

The problem I have seen with a lot of compost we buy it seems to low on nitrogen to the point it even affects green beans. I plant in ground but I try to boost the nitrogen on my onions after planting so they will bush out, I feed them every couple feeds with fish emulsion I have been better good this year than I have in the past and they are fuller.

Highly recommend using a dose of alaska fish and bone meal fertilizers. Your big plants, summer squash, pole beans, are all heavy nitrogen feeding plants. I have grown all 3 of these exact varieties in western Washington and they need a lot of nitrogen. The same with the cukes. Remember that plants need phosphorous in order to form blooms.

I followed the same steps y'all have taken over the last six months with a few exceptions. I have 8 Vegega beds and they're only 11" tall. I got OMRI compost from two hours away. I put my starts in and they too were pale and underwhelming. I finally amended the soil and things are looking up. However, I have had an insane amount of rain this year and it did cause my tomato leafs to curl. (curly top maybe) Every time I think they're about to recover, we get another two inches in one pour. My blooms get knocked off before making fruit. :(. My okra did take off as soon as the heat increased as well.

Good video, but where are the brassica vegetables?

I just wish we could subscribe more than once. Praying for your garden and mine.

Could it be the compost? Maybe there are some "hot" spots that are hurting the roots? Use the bright yellow party cups covered with Vasilinn and hang them around the plants. It works. I realized back on Monday that I'm ahead of my normal planting time. I'm almost done planting and I'm in northern MI!! Very happy. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect. Praying for your dad for a full and fast recovery.

Hope the problem gets resolved ❤

From the close up of the dill I noticed your soil looks like its got a lot of woody bits in it. If compost isn't fully broken down it will tie up nitrogen, robbing the plants of it, and honestly, that looks like the issue you are having. Not a ph issue. I would just spot fertilize and over time the compost will finish breaking down and you won't have any more issues.
