You are a "SCIENTIST" Marty %100 because you know the methodology by way of test and prove, then retest and prove all whilst taking notes mindfully exactly what does and doesnt work via a system of practice which is repeatable in your shared knowledge. No phD. means anything whatsoever at all unless those whom recieve them have a very broad scope outside to be able to garner and refine finite in detail, that which you are doing and do in practice. Hats off you are a scientist😁🎩

Nice shirt, moved onto our acre 5 years ago now and before moving potted up most of my old garden and took it with us. Most of it has survived here on the coast of Wonthaggi but the heavy winds and 8 months of constant rain make growing a garden a big challenge. I'm learning and the garden's doing better with each year.🍎🧅🥕🌽🥒🌶🥔🍅🐝🌸🐞

Marty. We don't put down weed killer in our yards. Weeds grow. Birds, beneficial insects love our yards and our small backyard garden. When hubby mows the grass lawns he just lets grass clippings drop. It fertilizes the lawns.

@ausfoodgardenКүн бұрын
I let a lot of weeds grow. Grasses and really aggressive ones get pulled, but things like chickweed, nettles, purslane in Summer. I let them grow and only pull them back if they are taking over. That way the soil is covered in living plants and the microbes have lots to keep them busy. My garden was all dead compacted clay but after 2 years, over half of the inground beds grow food now. Just with added compost and using weeds as a green manure. If I could make more compost the whole garden would be good. Cheers!
@smas3256Күн бұрын
I told my neighbor to just let the weeds grow in her dad's front/side yard. Just mow if needed. She thought we would be upset by their weeds she said. The whole neighborhood has lush green grass lawns. They use weed killer and do what grass seed companies recommend. The birds, bees, dragonflies and beneficial insects avoid those lawns like the plague. I do pick dandelion flowers before they go to seed on her dad's lawn near my grass lawn and pick the dandelion flowers on mine too. I have no idea how many hundreds of $$$ she spent trying to fix her dad's weedy yard.

Don't disturb the sandy soil. Start by adding layers of mulch to the top..Think of it like a Lasagna one sheet of mulch then compost and keep making layers over time. Bales are the best for this if you can get them cheap enough.
@philcleaver2703Күн бұрын
Ah Sandy soils here inCoastalWA the soils are so hungry one dare not go out barefooted:) The answer we have tested used and are happy with is first get the soil to retain moisture and nutrients Thus DIG IN Kaolin Clay wet and mix wellthen lots of organic matter dig over again. Then as Marty rightly states go with the lasagna method and semi no or minimal dig It took us 3 years to really start tosee real loam rather tan sand andwe can not hurry too much .

Great tips Marty. I’m wondering if it would be an asset to plant some bananas in your wet spots? Knowing they can take up copious amounts of water I planted one in a boggy spot I had and they have thrived, successfully dealing with excess water runoff coming from a neighbor’s property. Best of success with your soul mix endeavors too. There is definitely a demand for a trusted source nationally.

Just to be clear you can prune for fast tree growth or for fruit production, not both. Each type of fruit tree needs a different approach to maximize fruiting. You will have horrible results treating all fruit trees the same.
@martysgardenКүн бұрын
I would disagree,,,nearly every fruit tree on the planet that can start with a central leader can be grown this way. But first you need to understand what they process is exactly to get results. I learned this method over 20 years ago and never seen it fail yet. We just stumped a big Mango and letting it go again.. We did 5 acres of trees on a farm that needs cashflow and it pumped...100% works
