In a time when it seems every garden nursery is more concerned with sales and less with help. I found in your channel helped turn my brown thumb into a greener thumb . Thankyou . Keep the videos coming . I trust you more than any garden center.

They love tomatillo plants ... i just found out!

So is May too late?:(

Its important to remember that many of the so called "pests" we want to spray with pesticides are the food source for the "beneficial insects" we want to see. Aphids are a pest. Ladybugs eat Aphids. You kill aphids, you wont see ladybugs. You leave them, you will.

I tried that jelly roll for long rooted seedlings for transplanting for drought resistant plants in my garden and it worked like charm! Such nice long roots

I'm going to unsubscribe just to be a lurker 😅

I notice that you covered how to amend clay soil and sandy soil, but not silty soil. Most of my backyard used to be a creek bed until many years before we arrived the local council diverted the creek into underground pipes, so it has a lot of silt in it and holds a bunch of water. Do you have any ideas on how to amend soil that is about 40% silt as I'm hoping to plant fruit trees in that space. Thanks for all of your informative videos. I'm so grateful.

I care to minimize my exposure and families exposure so thank you for all this info, i also try and be conservative and use mostly yogurt containers milk jugs so thats atleast the lesser of two evils. Thoughts on solarizing soil with clear plastics?

About flushing: I grew for over a decade, and skipped the flush a few times. People complained that the smoke was harsh. They pointed at the ember and ash said how black it was, a sure sign that I skipped the flush period. I never saw any boost in flower production because of it, other than the trichomes getting a bit milky.

This year I'm trying luffa. Took your advise and started them directly in their grow bag and made a kinda trellis for them for the time they're inside 😁

Thanks Ashley!

Just to add another shout out for Berger. I use the BM-2 for starting and then the BM-6 when potting up into my Root Pouch fabric containers. Best combination for vertical growing in very limitied space. I probably have over 70 fabric containers (5-10 gallon). I have expanded by buying a few extra bales of BM-6 and larger fabric containers each year. It is not too costly when you take into account the harvest yield from 1 container of tomatoes. I also like to companion plant basil and lettuce with the tomatoes, so I get a 2 for 1 return. I trellis my tomatoes, so by the time basil is at full growth, I have already pruned the lower leaves of the tomatoes so they get full sun.

You make me crave your friendship! You are such a rad chick, I love your vibe, and another soil nerd is simply chef's kiss. KZbin has helped me to continue devouring your content, it keeps presenting luscious videos for me to enjoy! 😂 Thanks, Ashley. ❤

There are almost as many strains of Mycorrhizae as there are genders.

watched again, thank you again! great info.

i feel like clover totally sucks in terms of actually keeping moisture in its shade. simply because... yes, u guessed it right - *MOSQUITOES* !

I'm intimidated by the group aswell, which is actually why I clicked your video. I just want the plant science, and it can be hard to find that tbh.

I just officially became a member of the Geek Crew! Is your YT membership the same perks as Patreon? I'm SO EXCITED to be able to support you! You'll come to know me, I LOVE your videos! You are such a kick-ass chick.

ok, I no longer will waste time on pro or con marigold expozays... thank you, Ashley!!!

Hi Ashley, I made the mistake of adding manure compost into my acidic garden bed meant for blueberries. My understanding is that the high level of phosphorus from the compost would likely have bonded with the existing iron in the soil, forming iron phosphate which is not bio-available to plants. While I understand humic acid isn't recommended for acidic soil, I was wondering if fulvic acid would help in chelating whatever residual iron in the soil to prevent further bonding with the phosphorus. I'm also curious if fulvic acid, as a chelating agent, is capable of separating the iron from iron phosphate, essentially "returning" both phosphorus and chelated iron back to the soil. Thanks for taking the time process my inquiry, hope to hear from you =)

There's a older gentleman seller at the farmers market who was telling me he used to work at an army depot where they installed sheets of asbestos on the bottoms of vehicles. He said they just cut it under the vehicle and would crawl out with it all over there faces. Lol not to laugh but I just stood there in shock.

I'm trying depriving the root system of sunlight by rotivating frequently the ones that do get light snip off below the ground, should work all plants need sunlight to survive.

I would LOVE a video on systemic pesticides! I will see if you’ve already done some already!

my cantalope got super Sad after i transplanted out in my boxes.

Thank you! I've always worried about disease potential in reused soil, so I have added it to the garden, but never reused in in pots. Is that overcautious? Also, where is the link for why you shouldn't reuse potting soil in hanging baskets?

This is a very good video and I learned a lot. In fact, I would recommend this video to be watched by any gardener planning to propagate both indoor and outdoor plants.

I have been behind this year. I didnt get a chance to start my melons in newspaper pots, but yesterday I started melons, green beans, and cucumbers outside. Its been hot here in 5b, temps around 80F, I hope it cools off a little.

Hi! How long does synthetic fertilizer last? Thanks for another great video!

the season is over here. 20 at night sure. but 40 in the afternoon... i call this season 'furnace' or 100 days of 100 degrees and no rain... but i'm going against the odds, i have five different types of vine things i'm going to try since i've had luck so far this year with two different squashes and a gourd . probably going to end in disaster . i guess that's why they call it a hobby.
