Another great video, Patrick. Two things came to mind since this is for beginner gardeners: 1. No matter what you do, if you don't have good soil, your yields will suffer. 2. To ensure you are capturing the highest yields, follow the recommendations for planting dates as well as varieties suitable for your area. I am originally from the Midwest, but now live in North Texas, and it is so very different here. Until I followed those two foundational rules, I was a very frustrated veggie gardener! Thanks for all the inspiration!

you know this "intensive planting" sounds really good but you also have to consider where you are located. Here in Ireland, for example where our weather is generally cool and wet, intensive / high density planting means that fungal disease can spread super fast, but pests like aphids and caterpillars can hide easily and have good time too because it is much harder for beneficial bugs to find them in the dense foliage. This was one of my first big lessons i had to learn, that in this weather we simply must leave enough space between plants for air if we want to have anything to harvest.
@OneYardRevolution6 жыл бұрын
Hi Sandra! Yes, you definitely want to adjust planting strategies to local climates. We grow in polycultures to minimize spread of pests and diseases. Charles Dowding grows intensively, and his climate may be similar to yours. I definitely recommend checking out his KZbin channel.
@Hayley-sl9lm3 жыл бұрын
@@OneYardRevolution If you watch his videos though he keeps everything very neat with airflow in-between. I feel like as long as leaves have the opportunity to dry out between getting soaked -- whatever spacing allows you to achieve that in whatever climate and season you are growing in -- I think maybe that's what we should be aiming for? I'm in zone 8 and one time I tried to take this polyculture with different arugula, lettuces and carrots that was very densely planted as far as I could into winter. As soon as we got a couple of weeks with straight rain, everything was still alive of course but covered in little necrotic spots and no longer appetizing. Not sure if spacing could have made that experiment go a bit longer, I don't actually know if it was fungal disease.

I believe I've viewed all of your videos, I like this one the best for its sound, practical advice. I consider myself a veteran gardener and I'll attest to the effectiveness of your simple advice. I grow everything I can vertically even though I'm blessed with a large acreage (my Butternut squash sprawls over several sections of my yard ... I like the look). One thing about tomatoes ... even though I'm not "space-challenged", I continue to grow my indeterminate plum tomatoes in a four foot square raised bed (9 plants per bed). The tomatoes are not grown vertically but supported by cages and a rough wood frame. Many thanks for all your videos. Cheers.

Moving from zone 7b to 5a this winter and leaving my current career in order to make a serious effort towards market gardening. Will be starting out with a 5k sq.ft. plot. I’ve been reading such books as Elliot Coleman’s The New Organic Grower, and watching a lot of videos from many different gardeners. Out of all of them so far, your videos have been the most enjoyable due to your calm demeanor and no-frills explanations. I like the immersive format and how you make it feel like we’re walking through your garden with you instead of most videos which feel more like a presentation to a classroom. Also gives me a confidence boost knowing I’ll be facing some greater challenges in a colder climate, but with patience and a level head, I just might have a shot at growing a wider range of crops. Thanks for your videos!

It took me a while to figure out that high yield vegetables are the way to go for me. I'm pretty sure the ones I grow are all on the list. Kale is by far my best producer even growing dwarf blue. Half of a 4x8 bed yields high volumes of leaves that can even be frozen and used in the winter. I haven't worked out the vertical squash thing though. Bush acorn squash works the best for me. I get enough to last well into the winter without refrigeration. Still working on lettuce, but I've got a fall crop just coming up and I'm going to try cut and come again.

You're right. Growing high yielding crops makes a big difference. Kale and Swiss Chard are probably our 2 biggest producing greens, because we can keep them alive through winter.

I might have missed it but I didn’t hear you explain another advantage to intensive gardening...wide beds, with walking paths only on the edge of the beds, prevents compaction of the soil. Compacted soils are limiting to yield since the roots have a harder time extending into the surrounding area thus limiting their nutrient intake.

I don't have experience growing in very hot dry climates, but I'd heavily mulch the soil with wood chips and other organic mulches and do my best to bring out large buckets of water for thirsty plants.

I am moving!! I am moving to the forest (diminished sun due to trees) and I can solve those issues. however there are squirrels everywhere.and they leap from tree to tree via the foliage (I did not know they did that) thus the question... how will I have fruits, I assume they will eat everything, how do I deter them?
@OneYardRevolution6 жыл бұрын
Barriers like cages and netting are the best protection from squirrels. A garden cat would help too.

I love to grow "expensive" fruits and vegetables. Japanese cucumbers can be 3$ for one, but a seed packet is 3.50. Japanese cucumbers are the best tasting in my opinion. Plus my son loves to grow odd looking stuff, so win-win! We're also growing orangeglo watermelons, odessa squash, Japanese corn, Japanese melon, tomatoes, and a smattering of sweet peppers. Before we stumbled upon your channel we were a zero gardening family. Now we wish our landlord would let us convert the back lawn into garden beds, so we can grow EVERYTHING! Its such a shame to have to waste water on grass.

What a great collection of crops! I'm happy to hear your family has a passion for growing.

I see the sunchokes making an appearance. You think they will reach the height they got to last year?
@OneYardRevolution6 жыл бұрын
Hi Dan! It's hard to say. I think they're a little behind where they were last year.

what are your tips for growing oregano? mine never does good
@OneYardRevolution6 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry to hear that Jack. What's the climate like where you live? Where we live oregano grows like a weed. All we do is plant seeds in the ground after the last frost. They don't require much more than that.
