****THANK YOU BLACK COW **** Hollis and Mrs Nancy have been a great help to us and future generations of growers. I also have used your product for many years 👍

I’m glad Black Cow sponsored you. I started using their product because of you. Awesome.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You won’t regret it. It is an awesome ingredient for successful garden soil.

[@brycewakefield8616]

Same here! It seems a little clay-heavy, but the plants seem to do well with it. I try to use my own compost, but I just can't seem to generate enough. Black Kow is a great supplement!

Me too.!

Me too!

[@alveygardens]

Consider some cover crops that can be tilled in to help build the soil.

[@cindyperry5504]

So happy for you that Black Kow has sponsored your channel and supplied you with all of that manure. You certainly have been faithful with its use in past videos and as I was setting up my raised beds I used exactly the same products. Here’s to a successful garden.

We are so blessed to be sponsored by Black Kow!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Mr. Hollis, now that you lost weight, when the scene of you getting off the cart to dump leaves, I said "who is that kid who's helping them out?" Thank you for the videos Nancy and Hollis!

Your channel is truly underrated. You are, as far as I can tell, the only start to finish, one video gardening KZbin channel out there. You have taught me a great deal, and I especially thank you for spreading the love of gardening to millions of people. For me, gardening is not only a way to get fresh, organic, backyard-grow nutritious food, but more than that it’s therapy. So thank you for what you do and God bless you and your family.

[@kimberlycrusher4065]

I really appreciate how authentic you two are in all your videos, nothing seems like it's read from a script, rather you explain from experience, and that's what I'm looking for! Also my favorite part of each video is Nancy at the end with her sweet "have a blessed daaayyyy!"

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Definitely no scripts. All from the heart❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for watching. Have a blessed day 😇😇😇

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

I love that you have a a sponsor, Black Cow! I have followed y'all for years and excited you moved to my home state. I started with sand too. I found it easier to keep layering. If I have to till, it is only a few inches to pull out the weeds, otherwise the sand keeps rising to the top after the rains. I use mushroom compost followed by pine bark mulch. It's magical in the garden. God bless. I can't wait to see more.

Good on Black Kow for the donation of their fine product. Your channel’s tutorials are what taught me about the benefits of Black Kow-me, and from the comments below, lots of other folks. So it’s sort of like payback. Been using it for years now and have reaped many benefits. Your new garden bed is coming right along!

[@jimsgardensandrabbitry]

Tough getting a garden started to begin with, but nothing but sand makes it harder. Your off to a good start and yes, that was a very generous donation. My garden here was nothing but a sand bed. At the time I was working on a dairy farm and I put about 6 yards of the oldest stuff I could in between my growing rows for years. For the past 4 years, I have been using the Back To Eden method, plus I add worm castings that I produce during the planting time. Now that I have rabbits, I have that available too. Good to see you all working a garden again. Love and blessings to you both.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Sounds like your garden soil is coming along beautifully! We are working on getting rabbits for our homestead too. I am really looking forward to the rabbit manure fertilizer !!!👍

[@jimsgardensandrabbitry]

@@HollisNancysHomestead took a long time getting there, but I had determination to grow for my family. You will be amazed at how well rabbit manure works. Are you fishing down in Fl. so that you can use that too? My plan up here in Maine is to take my boat out as soon as the ice is gone and fish for trash fish to use when I set out a punch of plants. Many blessings to you both.

[@larrybrumback8037]

I too garden in Florida, about 80 miles south of you. I am amending the sand as well like you but adding vermiculite, coir fiber and 10-10-10 fertilizer in addition to the peat and Black Cow. I amend the soil in sections and grow in beds and containers until I eventually have the whole garden amended.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Sounds like a great soil amendment! Keep up the good work👍

Just what i been waiting for. GARDEN vids. Wahoooo

[@charlieboring7269]

I also use black kow manure and have occasionally had problems with it burning my plants when mixed directly into the soil and planted a few days later. Recently, I tried a new method that seems to be working. I used this method both in containers and in raised gardens. In the bottom of the container, I put a 4 inch layer of compost, followed by a 4 inch layer of black kow. Then I added my soil mixture which was made using equal parts of old potting soil, new potting soil, black kow, peat moss, and top soil. I also added a small amount of trace minerals, some bone meal, some Epson salt, and some blood meal. Not only does it not burn the plants, but the plants are dark green, strong, and fruiting early.

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

I also live in Florida and I can confirm that the "soil" here is not the most desirable. I will be moving to some land at the end of the year for now I'm just container gardening.

[@maryblaylock6545]

Having had to amend my soil quite a bit I would recommend that you do 30 bags of peat spring and fall! Add manure at the same times. It will make a huge difference in about half the time.

[@sherrymorrill2935]

I followed your old garden and just can’t wait to see your new one!,

[@ShineyPenny654]

Have you thought about sowing a cover crop between growing seasons? It will help feed the soil & add bio materials when you till it in after growing

In Florida our in between seasons are only 5 weeks❤️

I didn't think of that. I wasn't sure how far north or south you were either.
