@Self Sufficient Me This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "what does growing organically mean?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ponorcas Unconventional Primacy - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to grow an unlimited food supply and ditch large food companies minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.

[@stankmcdankton6204]

There's an old Native American gardening technique known as the 3 Sisters, where beans, corn and squash are all grown together in the same plot and live in symbiosis together. The beans provide nitrogen to the soil, the corn stalks provide scaffolding for the bean stalk to grow on, and the squash helps the soil retain moisture by providing ground cover.

[@benschram]

I want to try this one day.

[@Sentauri]

If its an "old native american" gardening technique, then how did they know about stuff like nitrogen? Trial and error?

[@stankmcdankton6204]

@@Sentauri Obviously they didn't know anything about nitrogen. I think they just kinda stumbled on it and figured out that this particular combination just worked. Similar to how they would use fish carcasses as fertilizer. Some discoveries are completely accidental ( penicillin for example ). In a similar instance, the vast grasslands of the Great Planes were set on fire on a regular basis ( possibly after noticing how well the grasses would grow back after a natural wild fire ) to create optimal grazing habitat for buffalo, which was the chief food source for the nations in that region.

Just on the carrot comes from Afghanistan thing: Afghanistan actually has an incredible almost year round growing season and crazy fertile soil. The only limiting factor in afghanistan for crop growth is water availability. Literally anywhere somebody can dig a well you have these crazy lush green patches surrounding them. -US Marine and gardener since age 6 who spent 4 years there Growing stuff in afghanistan is easy as hell granted you can find water (not easy). Its sad too, because if they had access to modern tech they'd be a practical modern day eden. Sadly, they do not, and can only access water that is either naturally occurring, or is shallow enough below ground to dig to by hand. Even if accessed, they can only transport it so far from the source, limiting most farms to an acre or two at most.

In Australia we grew up on it for greens when in season. As kids it was always eaten by choice as opposed to spinach. We called it silver beet and it was green like spinach.

I'm 19, and I love watching his videos. I grew up in a small town where everybody had their own garden. My grandpa always planted loads of crops. Potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, scallions, squash, parsley, peppers you name it, we always had it. Every year. Then I moved to a big city and then i realized how amazing home grown food is.... In the city every crop taste likes water because of the chemicals and whatever... They make it grow fast and big with injections etc.... I just realized that I have been eating organic food ever since... Mark's videos inspired me to get out and do my own crops. Since then I've been growing my own tomatoes, carrots, chillies, squashes, paprikas, and even watermelons. Thank you, Mark

All of these are great for green manure if your prepping a large bed too and it means you can leave it to become a mes and then just mulch it all up when your done harvesting what you want

[@glennslater56]

This is for those who have never grown their own veggies, be prepared to set it up well. Some type of raised garden bed is first, if you don't like bending over to pull out weeds don't bother. Secondly weeds, you ARE going to get them, if you cultivate good soil for veggies, weeds will love it twice as much. So you can spray for weeds but do you want weed killer in your veggie garden, (up to you). It takes time to weed a garden, lots of it, if you see a nice unseeded garden ask the owner how they keep it like that and ask yourself are you prepared to do the same, if you go ahead, start small, something you know you Wil be motivated and have time and water for. Some places need a lot of water, do you have to pay for water. I hope I have saved someone a lot of effort, personally I have no time, little motivation and my garden needs a lot of water but I love my own veggies.

[@karaamundson3964]

30-year gardener here... I've had an 1800' plot with terribly weedy, compacted commercially-driven-on CLAY soil for 9 years... I thought I'd never succeed in getting that soil going. Tilling, wintercropping, nothing worked except on one tiny space--digging a hole & adding canes, leaves, canes, alfalfa meal, etc + dirt. That's @ 80'. Ha! I even tried round-up, which made me sick and did not work. Last year I poured20 gallons of vinegar over the whole thing (except the good bit) and covered it with Planck plastic fora year. It was a desperate last-ditch effort. I gardened in boxes & bales on top. (The bales performed poorly.) I got tons of tomatoes, carrots, onions, cukes, basil, celery (!), and miscellaneous others as well as a big patch of perennials in the center. This year I was laid off from my job of 17years. I got right out in the garden. The vinegar/plastic had worked on the weeds! Now that soil...a friend turned me on to an EASY method: Loosen (not turn) the soil. Lay weeds/kitchen waste/whatever raw compost you have on it...or half-raw. Fertilize & water it. Put @ 2" fully composted material over this. Fertilize with mild liquid fertilizer (worm poo tea, etc) and water. Lay wet newspaper, @ 10 sheets thick & overlapping to drain into the mound, not run off, on the mound. Water. Lay 2" compost again to cover. Cut Xes in the paper, add compost, add bone meal, plant your starts. Mulch w/ straw, pine straw, leaves, etc. I was able, in less than two months, to plant the entire 1800'. Now I wish I had more.

New subscriber I love your message at the beginning as well as the way you seem very personable. I can’t wait to get growing.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thank you Lindsey - get into it! Cheers :)

[@greenleafycabbage8715]

Try also "Malungay" leafs. They also call it the wonder vegetable leaf that can give you powerful immune system against any infection and diseases. Its so easy to grow. All you need is a small part of its branch

[@wildchookMaryP]

Thumbs up my friend. Yep, I enjoy growing them and are not much fuss. My carrots are getting better each year. I enjoyed the origins of each plant. The inclusion of the cue music part is hilarious. You are a funny bugger Mark, that made me smile :)

[@Thepavlo6666]

Very informative! That's why I love your videos. I learn a lot. Thanks! from Canada

[@keybaby4444]

I’ve watched your vids for only 2 days and I’m already confident to start small with my herbs! Thank you so much

We grow zucchini every year, it's awesome. I'd like to try some mustards next year.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Great to hear John! Mustards are good - we've even pickled the stems before, and of course the seeds are great as a spice too, it's a very useful crop. Cheers :)

[@Ed19601]

Zucchinis are great :-)

[@christinek3122]

My zucchini was a dud :( no bees to pollinate and then it didnt flower again to manually pollinate

[@smancusa6679]

Plant flowers in your garden. Anything that blooms. Marigolds will attract bees and will deter some pests, but any flowers will do. Adding some clover seed to your lawn will ensure bees. A few raspberry plants will attract bees like crazy, and raspberries are classified as a weed, so they grow in the worst soil almost anywhere without your help. I made the mistake of planting Morning Glories in a bed in my front yard years ago and now I have them come up in every corner of my yard by themselves. They are very thin climbing vines so they can be annoying, but they certainly attract bees, and they will ALWAYS come back. They look pretty among the large leaves of zucchini, squash, and pumpkins too.

[@KowboyUSA]

Christine K where do live? The bees around my locale are thriving.

[@homesteadinginthecity]

Well I definitely did something wrong because none of these 5 made it this season in my garden, I was so confident I'd be eating from my garden already🤔🤔we had such a weird growing season here in Durban, South Africa. Thank you for your awesome videos, such a joy to watch 😊

This is very useful information. After playing Stardew Valley i want to try growing things for real.

[@diana2142]

These are very accurate. I grew beans and carrots when I was 11, although the carrots turned out tiny. This was very good information presented in an understandable, calming way. Just what I needed during such anxious times. Thanks!! :)
