I don't think you click bait. You have good energy. Happy spirit. Great educator. I appreciate you and your teaching. Don't even read the keyboard atrocities. Keep the good ignore the rest

[@joanhunt7560]

We added a 2 feet thick layer of wood chips to half of our 3 acres in amish country. Literally had farmers pull over their tractors when they saw me out in the yard to ask what we were doing. Must have thought we were crazy. Now they ask how i grow bell peppers so easily. We didnt have to mow half our land either. Just kept adding fresh chips and composted chicken manure. We have chickens too. I am the chaos gardener and hubby just eats the yummy food and does projects. Life is good and our fruit trees are thriving. Love your channel!

[@andreagarofolo9431]

I am totally knew it gardening in North Carolina. I recently talked to a lady who owned a farm and had mentioned to me something about having some kind of shade for my plants for hot days what do you suggest I do for shade kind of confused me why I would need shade. You had mentioned something about planting certain plants that provide shade but if I am just starting out and don't have any tall plants or anything to provide shape what would I do

[@andreagarofolo9431]

What do you suggest is the best to spray on the leaves and on the ground for pest control

[@LaurieWelborn]

I also raise rabbits and use the poop and straw directly in my garden. Both as a top dressing on my beds but also when I put in new plants. Thank you for telling people about using the poop directly. Many online sources say you have to compost it or turn it into tea. It wastes so much time and energy. Love your channel.❤

I planted wild blackberries in my garden. Biggest mistake ever. They spread like wild fire and are full of thorns. 😢

[@Bigredkarl]

You should splice some of the other wild papaws branches onto your pawpaw at home to have one tree with multiple flower types

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That’s a really interesting idea, I wonder if that will successfully overcome the rhiosomal /similar genetic tissue propagation issue. I know it does for some fruit trees, but the pollination process works differently than on pawpaws. Into the lab I go!

[@patconner2638]

That... Should work. I only have basic experience splicing citrus and walnut, but the genetics that come with the donor stalk definitely persist after being spliced into the base plant. Very excited to see if pawpaw will take to it too!

[@joanhunt7560]

Thats brilliant!

[@ambersykora352]

​@@joanhunt7560 Yes grafting will supply the different genetics from the fruit. It's no different than buying fruit trees or plants that are grafted onto a native or different rootstock. It doesn't alter the genetics of the graft. You can actually graft different kinds of fruit onto one tree. They don't even have to be the same species or anything. And you don't have to wait until a specific time of year to graft either, it's not true you can do it any time during the year. Check out the Back to Eden documentary on yt which I'm sure you're well aware of. Paul G demonstrates on how to graft effectively as he is a trained arborist

[@marijeb278]

​@AnneofAllTrades looking forward to it! I love the knowledge you have. Really knowing how your soil and your plants work, means you don't have to stick absolutely a rulebook, but rather observe and use principles to your advantage. Which is what I learn from you. It is not about what the gardeners rulebook tells you to do without understanding why, but having enough skill to adjust to Your garden. I love that.

[@NitaP1569]

Do you have deer ? I’m wondering how they are not eating your fruit trees

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@NitaP1569 yes, we do, but they don’t come in the garden because I have several lines of defense against them. The garden is located in a fence inside a fence. The exterior fence has a Hotwire on the top and bottom that is meant to deter pests. It is patrolled by my donkeys, livestock guardian dogs, and alpacas, as well as motion sensor lights. A deer could in theory still get in, but I’ve not seen one inside the fenceline since I installed the electric lines.

[@Crystal-il3jl]

Yessss! for another video, especially a garden video! 🎉

[@scarlet10sewing]

I live in TX and gardening is a challenge. Looks like TN is gardening heaven.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Gardening becomes less of a challenge regardless of your location the more you work to improve your soil. Gardening here is great, but there was a BIG learning curve growing here after growing in a different climate.

[@scarlet10sewing]

I started in Ohio (on Lake Erie shore region), then moved to Seattle and now TX. Water is more precious here and I’m older now (retired )so I now do containers. It’s just easier all around.

[@awaves71]

❤ oh, I love learning from you. Have you made a video about cheap fencing, easy installing by yourself around the garden to keep goats out??

I just got wanted to pop in and let you know that your 1/3 lettuce harvest and cilantro harvest tricks got my plans through a few early hot days here in Georgia. It cooled off this week and it looks like I’m going to get two more harvests from my lettuce and the cilantro is making a comeback. Thanks so much for sharing that advice!

[@debbiebell4598]

When I planted paw paws 8 years ago, it took 3 yrs before they flowered, noticeably. It took 5 to find fruit (you have to hunt for them. Last year @ yr 7 we got a good amount of fruit, more than we could eat so we shared them. The tree, on it's own it big and beautiful, with large leaves which looks somewhat tropical for Michigan, where they grow naturally. I'm loving how beautiful they are. Btw, I planted them all wrong, in direct sun, and not protected from the wind. Still, they are doing great! Good luck on your paw paw journey.

[@TheWayWalker]

I wondered how long it took. This is my 3rd year the paw paw trees are growing but not big enough yet to fruit I think.

[@christineschonmayr5954]

Love how you kill your cilantro to get some more! 😁😁 My boys (2, 4 and 6) actually love veggies of all kind. But it can happen that they refuse it and tell an astounded grandparent they "don't like store bought cucumbers, only those from mama's garden" 🤣🤣 Just learning the way of lazy gardening, I get so much out of your videos! Thank you! Best wishes from Austria

[@kellyaspinall7284]

My kids are the same! I grow massive amounts of snap peas every year and I have NEVER had enough at one time to use them at dinner or anything. The kids just go outside and eat them all day lol

[@j.reneewhite915]

So glad to witness your companion/intercropping. Other youtube gardeners and some books say DO NOT plant onions near strawberries, asparagus, beans and peas. Stating that the onion will stunt the growth of the other plants. You've obviously proven them wrong. Which helps me to relax a little more. I plant a lot of veg in a very small yard with tall trees surrounding the property. Oh yeah, and dense clay soil. It squishes like a sponge all Winter long only to turn to cement by the beginning of Summer. So hitting the easy button on any level is a blessing. Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your gardening tips with us. Tomorrow I will be companion planting some carrots in my asparagus bed.

[@debzeb6899]

I hand pollinated my pears recently. Best crop ever! I realised the first tree as flowering before any other trees I could see in my 'hood so I had to go find flowers elsewhere. I walked off with a few paint brushes and some of my own flowers and found a neighbor who agreed I could collect some from there's. Sure enough they were also interested so i brounght out my flowers. They were sceptical so I only did half their tree. When i bumped into them in the market they told me my half of the tree fruited. The other side didn't.

[@1jw298]

I love your enthusiasm! You’re awesome possum!

[@cadre500]

May I suggest planting new pawpaw from a different location near your garden pawpaws to save yourself the trouble of hand pollinating in years to come. Love your content!

[@mobyhunr]

Plant more then 1 Paw Paw from a different tree. Buy good root stock for grafting on to and growing more root stock starts.

I've been working on my lazy garden today. Wood chips, compost, and the good things chickens do... NC has the same 12 seasons... But I did set out some peppers. I introduced my 3rd grade students to your videos. They loved it Thanks for your hard work!

[@crownofhair]

34:54 I've also used my dog's fur for insulation, as well as adding it to my compost! Same with my own hair that I pull out of my brushes 😬🫣

[@joshuahoyer1279]

Something I'm going to try this fall is to throw a layer of wood chips right on top of our strawberries. I was watching some of Paul Gautchi's Back to Eden videos, and he was showing folks his strawberry beds, where he does just this. He said that the older, less productive plants die off, while the young vigorous ones spring up with no trouble, providing the perfect lazy bounty! I did throw some mulch on them this last winter, but it really wasn't a think layer. Like he said, the strawberries had no problem pushing up through it, and there are some beautiful flowers getting ready to fruit now.

[@jaytoney3007]

My gardn is considerably smaLLER, 14 raised beds, 8 fruit trees, a 10x20 in ground herb garden, 3 GreenStalk towers, 6 ten-gallon grow bags, and a few pots. 10 of my raised beds are protected from voles. This year, my unprotecxted beds are under attack from voles. So far, they have destroyed extra potato plants, and devestated my shelling peas. Thankfully my main crop of potatoes are in a vole proof raised bed. I harrvested mustard greens Thursday morning, and will harvest again in three weeks. My tomatoes are starting to flower, and the peppers are starting to fruit. The green onions are large enough to start harvesting the tops, I have lettuce that is ready to harvest, and I'm picking Seascape Strawberries daily. (Sylacauga Alabama)

[@tanyawales5445]

The best pond aerators are the ones that use weighted bubble hose and release tiny bubbles into the water. It keeps the pond aerated, there is no electricity in or near the water and the energy cost is much less than a conventional aerator. You can power the air pumps on the bank using solar panels or an electrical box. There will always be an area on the pond surface that is free of ice. The added oxygen to the pond water encourages the breakdown of animal waste and decreases the mosquito population. Hardy mosquito fish in the pond will help too. You can plant elderberry plants which can be rooted from dormant cuttings, dwarf mulberry trees and a hazelnut hedge. I am going to plant Winkler hazelnuts which only get to 8 - 10 ft. tall.

I direct sowed all my seeds one year. It worked great! I just had a super late harvest of everything. But, if the goal was to put up a lot of food for winter, I can totally see how that would work.

I'm no expert, but I've been beekeeping for a few years. True, swarms will go anywhere, but they prefer to "stage" higher up while scouts look for a more permanent home. Move your trap hive at least 6'-8' (more is better) & I think you'll increase your odds at catching one.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

You’re totally right, in other locations I’ve only ever caught bees up high, but I’ve caught 13 swarms in that particular location, which is why I keep putting my box there. I’ve had the thought though to build a stand to put it up higher but the truth is, I really don’t need to be actively working to keep catching more swarms, I’ve already got 3 hives and that’s a lot for what I’m trying to do with the bees. My neighbor has over 180, so if I need extra anything, I can always go to him and, in so doing, outsource some of the extra work I really don’t want to be doing 😂😂

Apple trees have to be planted in pairs BUT BUT BUT If your tree is already in bloom, just ask a friend or neighbor for a small limb out of their tree. Break it off with blooms and toss it in your tree and it will pollinate. A man who owns an orchard told me this because I mentioned , my tree blooms but never has apples.Also an apple tree should be about 6 feet, absolutely NEVER over 8 feet.

[@neiuke1149]

I'm in zone 4a and rhubarb has always been in my garden since childhood. We never cover it and very rarely fertilize. It's more like a weed, it just grows and it's BIG. Even when I got a rhubarb from someone and forgot it outside in a plastic box, nothing happened, it's growing now. And we have weeks in winters where we have -35C. Depends of the variety, but you could def try some more cold hardy ones.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It’s more that I have to temper it to deal with the huge temp swings. Most rhubarb is cold hardy, but few are as heat tolerant as we need them to be here.

Thank you from Kansas! My jaw dropped when you pulled the hop bine straight out of the ground. Looking forward to implementing your tips!

Plants aren’t as precious as we seem to think ;)

What a beautiful lot of land.

You need to write a book on lazy gardening! So much great information.

[@ginazee84]

I just found you a couple days ago and learned so much in just a couple videos. I plan to watch more. Liked and subscribed.

I just discovered your channel and I shared it on my Facebook, I am hooked and hope to watch all your videos.

Totally worth it for paw paws!! We have some in middle TN too. They are so good!

You should grow Bamboo for Shoots and Building Material!

My neighbor has a patch I steal from on occasion, but I've not planted them here because they're pretty invasive.

Woo you are a wealth off knowledge. So inspiring too🌻 Thanks for all the info, really helpful 😊

Oh my god. My first time here and you are extremely impressive

It just made me cringe when you broke that asparagus spear off. If you get an asparagus knife or even a pocket knife and cut it from below the ground it will keep growing for you, providing more asparagus food. My husband taught me this 15ish years ago and I try to share it with all the people I know, breaking the spears off the plant is done, cut it (look up an asparagus knife) and it will provide for you longer, it grows back in a few days until the season is done.

I love your videos…so much information and so many great ideas. And even though I live in Canada, so many applicable things for all gardeners. I was surprised to see how well your garlic and asparagus are growing together. Everything I read said, said garlic, onions, and asparagus do not make good bedfellows… Clearly that’s not the case😊
