Compost is the real winner. Sand is a big no no.

Thanks I refuse to pay $30.

Uncontrolled Variable in the drainage tests: Some mixes more easily clog the holes in your buckets, confounding the drainage tests.

I don't believe this I want to see the problem

So were tomoto come out if you take saca

Your gypsum sample looked like concrete…

Question: what is the best proportion of organic content?

speed please

I've heard that you should not use grass (greens) should not be used if they dog feces. In my yard, we let the dogs lose. So when we do the lawn we don't use the clippings. I don't know how accurate this is, what is your suggestion?

You can't see how slug pellets work. The slugs usually go underground to die. I even saw one 'blue' slug in the soil still apparently healthy, so the poison seems to be slow-acting.

Just starting using beer traps... 4 traps on small garden......I used inch deep pot stands ...in total I caught 24 slugs

I have to fill my olla every 2 days is that normal

You missed a trick here. You should have had one more bucket with soil amended with sand, gypsum and compost all together. Clearly in this test compost is the best, but because it is so airy, light and still capable of decomposing more, if you use this mix under a new lawn is there the possibility that the lawn might settle unevenly?

Thank you for the scientific based research. I bought the traps and use beer. I have seen videos of using yeast mix but too much work. So now I am running a pub for slugs and slugs for worms. I reuse the beer, no not for drinking, for the slugs.

It is working! Thank you!

Great information boss 💯

See...a lot of things love beer. Including me lol

In the "for what it's worth" department, I saw a time lapse video where a university tested beer traps. It was eye opening. Yes, you may catch and drown a few slugs, but easily three times as many came, drank and left.

Hey I found you cause Scott sent me here and I subbed to both of you. Great Video Thanks so much I am going to start building. Happy gardening to you :-)

Great, simple beer trap! Thanks for sharing! I'm setting one tonight.

How do you know if you have a small or a large bush bean plant? You have different spacing for each.

Thank you for this great video! I ordered the book to keep me on track.

I add a little sand and a bag of compost and a bag of garden soil together in my garden cart, it is the best combination for my garden. I use it when planting or transplanting and all of my flowers are doing well. I even mix it into my clay soil. I do not grow vegetables so I cannot comment on that but my dahlias and roses love a little sand mixed in.

Thank you for this wonderful information!

thank you for the plans!

Thank you!!

The shoe sole 😂😂 Loving your videos.

Well you had a few swigs first 😊 then put the brassicas in what was left 😊

Stamp down your soil around your brassicas (ie) make sure the soil round the roots of the plant is HARD stamp round it with your feet Otherwise the plant may bolt. Also keep out of heatwaves- otherwise plants Bolt Gardening is TOUGH WORK

Can I just use fertilizer throughout the season so I don’t have to worry about the soil?

You’re my hero lol I wanna be like you!

Killer channel, bro!

Wow this video is genius ❤ thanks neighbor

❤

Excellent video! I just bought pellets yesterday, but I may try the beer trap too 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

Here's a tip to save yourself some beer...use yeast and plain old water instead! It's the yeast that attracts them! Cheers🍺

Do each block represent a garden bed??

Thank you! You share the best information of what not to do and what to do for a new gardener! I have been debating intensive planting method verses square foot. Since my backyard has no shade I now understand intense planting of tall growth plants in the center of the beds may cause other plant growth to be dwarfed due to to much shade. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Again, thank you!

I have used both pellets and beer,but with an open container,when it rained,I had to replace the beer,but this is an excellent idea,use a plastic container which I already have.Thank you for posting this video.👍

U should try clay soil, compost and some sand.. here in Sweden we grow potato like that

Thank you for this informative, well done video!!!!

eggshells do not provide calcium to the tomato plant by the time it has had its lifecycle. Calcium takes a very long time to break down. It needs to go through a chemical reaction for the calcium to become absorbable by the plant.

I LOVE this channel!!!!

Every layout is great. I have four 4'x4' beds built this year, so you've saved me so much work. I just need to find a substitute for radishes since no one in my house likes them. Cheers!!

Just got suscribed to your channel bro...good video🎉 I have a channel here in México. I love tomatoes also... Nice to be part of your garden comunity. 🍅🌼😉

What are the size of the pots?

All of these plants have such widly different requirements in terms of temperature and moisture, they will never grow well together. Beginners, grow some tomatoes and cucumbers in fabric pots. Learn how to keep stuff in there alive before you waste a lot of money and time on something that looks functional but is just an artsy youtube video. Theres a very good reason farmers don't grow like this, it doesn't work.

i'm starting my first garden in a community garden plot this year and I really wanted to work with companion plants so this is perfect thank you! I will for sure check out some of your other videos, sq foot gardening is exactly what i needed thank you !!!!

but doesn't tomatoes require more than a foot spacing ?

Good video, thank you!
