I had oily sandy soil in my garden, I used shredded cardboard and paper. Soaked them overnight then dug into my garden. Today I have healthier soil that absorbs and retains water. I still mix in shredded cardboard and paper regularly every year for maintenance, Thank you for confirming what I do

Cardboard consist of recycled paper. Those papers have printing on it. The colors contain unhealty heavy metals. And the cardboard contains mineral oil from the recycling process. I will never ever use cardboard in my garden!

When do i transfer to soil. Please help. 😢

Which varieties do you have?

Good job

Great tips to keep away squirrels from the garden plants. Thank you. ❤

Thank you! I’ve been trying to keep my plants alive with the reemay cloth and then topped with some newspaper that’s covered with a cotton sheet. The cotton sheet is not ideal but it’s working for now since I don’t have $$ to buy more reemay fabric. I need to elevate the fabric so it’s not touching my veggies. Thank you for this reminder!

Frost can easily come at 36°F, sometimes 37°F. Yep, above freezing temps. Knowing this is very important. I've lost a few summer crops due to an unexpected frost where I thought I was safe. I've found that if the weather channel predicts 40°F or lower, you have to consider they may be off by a few degrees in many micro-climates. You can't assume or you'll lose. I like the trial you did, but could you try one taking temperature readings before the morning sun starts warming everything. Most damage will occur just before the sun rises when it's coldest. I've gone out at 3am and turned on sprinklers for a few minutes, then again at 4am, then at 5am, etc until the sun rises. Watering helps against freezing. Best.

Very good video. I do wonder though how this would work in my colder zone. For example if I have morning temps of 32 with row cover or plastic cover....would I still want to water it the evening before?

Exactly the information I needed. I need to store plants for a month. Will Strawberry runners be ok like this too, if I prepare them well?

You did a good job explaining things and sharing your experiences. Thank you.

Thank you for your video. I’ve been looking for this and I will be doing this as well. I have seen hundreds of videos and you are the best.

Very nice!

Do i use 8oz of rice water and then add regular water to cover the plant with water?

It is good

Please send formulation

Super

add okra!

Thank you from Sydney Australia

I think this could apply to any seed. This could probably solve some watering seeds issues, I like it.

Brilliant! Thank you so much. 🙏

Very useful and clearly explained. Thanks

A natural trellis ❤

Nice and worth video for garden lovers. Keep posting informative videos.

I use natural. Big garbage can like the truck picks up and dumps? I fill it with grass clippings, it had water in it at wonter time and cracked just above 5 gallon bucket height. So i put grass in it and add water. Then i use old plastic gallon milk jugs and fill them from the bucket. I made almost 20 gallons tilll july poured the last couple gallons back through it to rebrew. Then I stopped it and its cleaned up now( it was smelly) , I had it full and it was hard to tip up to roll it to m9ve it. Im 0uttin clippin 8n pre beds and turnin it in . Then ill mix the tea strong with water and pour into these beds ahaed of time. I seeded up( bout 200) saturday for sundays full moon to germinate. Bout two weeks i can transplant into those beds. Dont put dairy in it.since i started my sunflowers ive got, bees, wasps, spidermites, and whole bumch 9f baby toads Ive not seen since * was about 3 years old. I just turned 60 at christmas. Wow Hadleys a old man? Still the same 13 year old ,16 year old and years 9f skill experience. This the first time i tried flowers and my w9rst bed was the most sucessfull all 5he better beds at the start got took by the april storms 2024 and i started out plantin TOO DEEP OVER 300 NEVER SPROUTED so i started germinatin and had better sucess. And pre made befs work better than turnin the dirt and sowin in the back pasture

first

Thank You! I had actually thought about putting water bottles in the ground with tiny holes. This was great to know. Can anyone answer how often you need to fill the olla?

I love the look of edible landscapes💜 absolutely beautiful garden Sir💜 happy growing 💜

A meaningful video giving improvement techniques for soil health. Good job expecting few more of this type

Asparagus

Thank you. U have been wirking on my California clay soil for over a decade. I did not know i coulr or should succession grow these vegetables.

Its really nice to learn when to water the plants.

Video was better than I thought it was going to be. Some good info here well done.

Great tip with the skewer to see if the plant needs water. I also place trays under the pot, allowing the soil to pull up moisture. Growing up we (as in I) would fill milk jugs with screw-on caps, and use a small brad to puncture a few holes in the bottom before placing the jugs around the tomato plants. As the day warmed up the water would be forced from the jug into the soil.

I learn something new every day, thank you kind sir.

That is how I was able to plant an asparagus patch

Pretty cool

Very useful tips thank you

love the gardening tips; keep it up!

Does it matter if I put them on the side of the plant instead of the middle

When I put the waterbottle the next day it's all gone...what I'm doing wrong

Thanks ! Awesome Video!

Great Video! Thank you

Thanks for this. I will do this when i deliver my bare roots plants in our province

Wow nice and super aideya I like berry

A nice and meaningful video. I saw so many varieties of berries which I never knew the types of berries. I want to know how did you control the pest attack on the plants. I hope you are not using pesticides. Plz let me know. In totality a nice video quite meaningful for garden lovers. Thanks.

Thank you! Best clear explanations with excellent visuals! I have a 3yr old plant that I'm trying to grow up an old aluminum back deck gazebo frame. I finally realize how to properly do this. 🍇😊

Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thanks from Portugal ❤
