[@cajunlady4893]

I read a study a long time about talking to your plants. Your voice sends out vibrations that can affect your plant. A soft loving voice the plant responded very well and flourished. They even know you by the vibrations you send out. Next test was playing loud rock music.. the plant wilted and died. So also like with humans... sound affects them. A marriage with gentle loving words will flourish A marriage with harsh unloving words will perish. Its all in the vibrations Notice the world today So many vibrations going on from many things whether natural or by technology. People are so confused now. Rage seems like the norm. So yes his kind words to the plant brought harmony vibes for both him and the plant

What an awesome looking garden. It reminds me so much of my grandmother in-law's garden in the mountains in rural northern Japan. She's in her 90's and has never found it necessary to carefully manicure or make perfectly spaced rows like a lot of people do in their gardens. It looks a bit wild, but it provides most all of the food she needs year long. She trades vegetables and rice from her rice farm with others in the community for fish and meat.

@Clarence Oveur 🍉🥬🌽 Someone mentioned they weren't coffee drinkers so having the grounds available would be a problem. I was told that asking restaurants like Starbucks for some grounds happens a lot and they are happy to share. I would imagine the coffee filter would compost quickly, especially if we tear it here and there. ☕🫖☕ Also, hanging foil here and there in your fruit trees helps to scare away the birds. Anyone remember Jerry Baker whose gardening tips were often shared on PBS? Jerry said that by saving the foil plate that came with pies from the store and then clipping the plate close to a vegetable plant drew in the nitrogen from lightning during storms! He learned many of his tips from his Native American grandmother.

When I was a teenager I caught about eight shad fish and buried them along the fence in my back yard. Soon after I planted cucumber seeds along the fence. Not only did they grow like crazy up the wire fence, they were extremely prolific and healthy. Even when the cucumbers got what my family and neighbors thought were too big, they were still very tender and so sweet. Not the least bit bitter or woody. I'm convinced that burying fish in the soil is a great way to feed plants. I had so many, I had to give many away. But, like I tell my wife, I don't give it away because I grew too much, I grow too much so I can give some away. 😁😍

The most abundant tomato harvest I've ever had was the year we put a whole fish under each tomato plant . Those plants got 10-12 feet tall ; no lie. I ended up having to string up a canopy trellis of sorts between the two rows of tomatoes simply because they grew up and over the top of the huge bamboo poles we cut . It was a wonderful feeling walking under the canopy of tomatoes and just reaching up to snack on a few .

[@wifigrannyl.1354]

Kristi Dodson I was wondering that too and this idea came to me. Let's put it in the blender, pulverize with some water then give it a weekly feeding. We could sprinkle some coffee grounds on top of where we fed it to control the odor. I suggest we divide it into portions of maybe 1/2 cup and freeze it in between feedings so it doesn't spoil. Then just thaw and feed. 😊😀 Just a thought but I'm no expert. 🤔

WifiGranny L. I aerate the roots and put in worm castings every spring to my plants in the yard. The first year I put in a big fistful to some plants and they got too big! I’ve learned to go slower. So yes, you can dig up around the plant to put in amendments.

[@FredHenry1850]

I learned this as a kid. It was the spring time in northern Wisconsin. I was running around and playing in the woods. We had a creek that ran through and in the spring the fish would run to reach the bay. I saw this huge sucker fish splashing around in the shallow section of the creek. I jumped in and wrestled it, grabbing it up with both arms. I was so happy. I jumped on my bike, and rode home and saw my dad digging near a rose bush. I jumped off my bike and exclaimed, "Look at what I caught!" My dad looked up unenthusiastically and said, "Oh, you don't want that. Its a sucker fish." He grabbed it from my arms and threw it in the dirt. Needless to say, that summer that rose bush produced more roses than ever before.

I've used fish emulsion for years to feed my house plants. Great for all indoor and outdoor plants. Organic and won't burn. Available at any greenhouse or "home center."

@Rebecca. Best ever is get a large dustbin , add veg/ fruit peel , fill bin with water ,then add I can of blackstrap molasses and I large carton on live yoghurt. Leave for around 2 weeks ( summer time ) . Dilute 10 parts water to 1 part fertilizer . Apply once per week . Lift the lid every few days to vent the gasses . The results are amazing . Also egg shells - put in grinder (sharpens the blades too ) and just sprinkle whenever.

One year I grew 20-pound+ cabbages by fertilizing them with sunfish. Here in the northeast, just about every farm pond is over populated with sunfish, so they are easy to catch, and more fun than buying sardines. What I did was shove a trowel into the ground next to the cabbages, and poked in the sunnies with their tails sticking out. What happened was the tails dried to spikes that bloodied the noses of the cats, and coons, that went to smell them. I watched as both critters went to smell the tails, but bumped their noses against the pointy tails. It didn't take them long to figure out that it wasn't worth the pain to dig them up.

I live next to a river and do a lot of fishing, mostly catch smaller panfish which I put in my garden. Years ago I put a couple fish on the ground to bury the next day because it had started raining, and that soggy night I went out hunting nightcrawlers, looked at those wet fish - there were worms exploring them, on top of them, near them, under them. The worms were very interested in the fish and worms are super charges for gardens so fish in a garden attracts worms like crazy, another benefit.

We put a tbls of bone meal in each hole , when transplanting seedlings.along with a TSP of Epsom salts. The result were hearty healthy plants that had a superior root system enabling the plants to absorb more nutrients from the soil.Giving them a boost in development early on.

Native Alaskans, Tlingit people used this technic in their potato field. They put the potato out at spring on the field where they had the left over of the fish from previous year.

[@denisefrickey5636]

Similar techniques were used by many native peoples.

Growing up Catfishing a river my Dad would always bring home the unsavory Carp and bury them under his Tomato plants. I fish quite often, don't always process fish, but when I do the carcass gets buried in my gardens, every year people say my Tomatoes are the best.

[@delwyndickey6594]

This over-fishing of sardine predators is the same issue we have here in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand with over-fishing of snapper, which normally eat Kina(sea urchins). This has created what we call Kina barrens where an over abundance of Kina has almost wiped out kelp forests in the Gulf. Great to see this video, with someone who clearly gets the broader issues surrounding sustainability.

As a fellow kiwi , I don't appreciate the over fishing and waste , from commercial quota fishery , being blamed on casual fishers , out for a family meal . The family's don't waste any of what they catch , as the commercial fishery does . Over a 2 year period , while visiting whanau up northland , I saw their kelp bed destroyed , by a mix of sand and kina - it used to house Butter Fish , amongst other species . Unfortunate , the forest was lost to voracious kina and sand . The kelp , didn't go to waste and was used around the community garden and orchard .

No meat production is necessary. We can massively reduce carbon emissions by eating solely whole plant foods. I admit that I already eat whole plant foods, for health purposes, though. "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements. "

I always used Fish in my Gardens . When I was a child not that long ago I would love to go fishing and I brought everything I caught home . The fish that was good eating I ate the fish that was no good to eat I would put in my garden. I would also plant flowers in between the rows8 to 12 feet apart. The Corn was so sweet and juicy . Everything I planted came out beautiful.

They only had 3 figs at the nursery, but a whole mess of the Guomi shrubs. I bought them as a wind break to protect the figs and thought I might just harvest the berries for my camels - but when I googled them, your farm page came up and now I'm hooked! Thanks for all the great tips and I'm looking forward to learning more with your videos. You guys are wonderful to share this knowledge - I'm so grateful I stumbled across you!!!

Thanks so much for the tips. I will definitely use the sardines and coffee grounds in my garden. I live in rural Tennessee and we have lots of varmits.

Thank a again for the great information.

you can vitamise your compost with some water and then distribute it under mulch.

If u keep meat, fish and dairy out of your compost it will likely not bring varmin.

We used to fish for good-sized mud carp when I was a kid we'd give them to away to various retired people that spent their days gardening they would grind them up to incorporate them into their gardens. They always grew very hardy vegetables and over time they would always talk about the quality of their soil making it very easy to grow pretty much whatever they pleased as a result of using this method.
