My elderly mom plants beans by taking a stick, and using it to to make a small hole in the ground. She then drops 3 seeds in it and slides her foot across to cover the hole with a bit of soil. Walks along poking, dropping and covering. No bending whatsoever. Smart. Always plant 3 beans together,she advices. Her harvests are awesome.

Long known as a "dibble stick" and still in use after centuries because it is cheap, easy, and and spares the back. Three seeds is a hangover from power numbers or magic numbers. Not important and not necessary, but no harm done if you have plenty of seeds.

[@williamcox3412]

When covering the drainage holes, rather than screen or tape or stones, consider a used coffee filter. Sand stays in, excess moisture goes right through. For bigger pots use a hand spray bottle of water to wet the filters so they conform to, and stick to the pot until you drop your soil in to hold them in place. By end of season the filters will disappear. Just a thought.

[@Angie_978]

That is an awesome idea William! Thanks for sharing it!

Another suggestion for protecting young seedlings, either plant them in mini solo style cups (from the $1.25 tree) with the bottom cut off or put the cup over the seedlings, bottom cut off also. This plastic cup protects the seedlings from being eaten down to the soil level. Those cups can be used for several years.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Well thank you for the tip on growing peas in sand to get better starts… I was always under the impression that peers didn’t like their roots disturbed so I’ve never tried this. I fight with the birds every single summer and I never get to harvest much of my favourite crop. I’ll give it a shot!

Yes, the sand you put in a child's sandbox or in the base of a boxer's training bag, for punching. There's no salt or chemicals.

[@Muffintop2286]

Hi! Seeing this method for the first time and I'm mind blown. So you use sand to start all of your seeds?? Peppers, zucchini, tomatoes etc...??? This would be amazing. Has to be much easier than soil. How do you go about fertilizer and such? Just treat the sand like it's soil??

[@Auguur]

@@Muffintop2286 I mostly use the sand for cuttings now. I have gone back to peat-based starter mix for seeds mainly because I have a ton of the 6pack starter trays and the sand gets a little too heavy, making it more difficult to handle. I do have a bowl of pumpkin seedlings in sand. Propagating with sand is the best though, no gnats and it really seems to get them rooting faster. Cheers!

They are designed to allow liquids through , and not break down . Paper towels can work the same way , also , but are not quite as sturdy .

Had a miserable time with rolly pollys in my garden, stripping everything down to the ground. I found the Sluggo product that I was using on slugs worked like magic! YEs! Now I apply it around all my young seedlings. Last years issue was rabbits…so everything has to be fenced in with chicken wire. It’s always something when you garden, squirrels, deer, bean beetles…the list is endless! Interesting about raising beans and peas as transplants. I had always understood them to be not fond of being transplanted. Will have to try it.

[@melissaschloneger9902]

@@patriciatinkey2677 be prepared to switch things up a bit as wildlife gets accustomed to such things after a while, especially raccoons bc they're crafty & watch what we do, learn how to get around our "protections". I have lots of black bears, deer, elk, fox, hawks, eagles, basically name it & I have it. The deer & elk use my mega solar lights to guide them to me, it's their inquisitive nature. I put up strings of soda cans about 3' off the ground a little ways off from garden like a perimeter fence, the noise frightens them & the bears away when the wind blows or they touch it. Fishing line & a drill bit & you have a warning system. Anything smaller & you need to fence it & maybe even cover with a pvc frame with chicken wire attached so it's light enough to put up, pick up when going in & out of the garden, opossum & raccoons climb & jump into the garden from fence posts & trees. Am just starting out in a very remote area in TN & have sought some advice from the locals bc of all the wildlife. An eagle swooping in to get a critter from the garden can do some serious damage to crops so is best to protect sides & overhead as well! The bees can still get through so no issues there! Get creative & good luck!!

I thought rolly pollys only eat dead matter. We have other isopods and they don't eat any of our plants...

[@blondek767]

I’ve given up on planting into the ground. I’m growing peas in my kitchen with a southern facing window and grow lights. Strawberries, too. I love lemon grass tea, and must start lemon grass in the house early then put into a bigger pot outside when it get warm enough. I live in Zone 4 growing zone, the season here is short. I keep pots of plants outside in summer, on long benches, it’s near the hose. Then use chicken wire and posts, we just have too many wild animals where I live. Then rip apart a few plastic grocery bags into sashes, the tie them to the chicken wire. Keeps the deer out.

[@blondek767]

It sounds good, but we live ontop of a mountain and get very strong winds with storms. Only wood or metal with glass would do. Instead I will be using chicken wire and posts, then tie sashes cut from plastic grocery bags, to keep wild animals out. I wanted to lay black gardening fabric on the ground, to prevent grass and weeds, under my benches. We were discussing tonight about building a cage from chicken wire to protect the strawberry plants. I have them started in the house, they are almost 150 days old. They must be protected from mice and birds. And skunk, and squirrels...lol.

When I was growing up and worked on farms and garden and helped I was learning and didn't realize it until I got older and new things that I thought everybody just knew and other people wanted to know more that's how I got into greenhouses and all that because I've done that since I was in high school before .

My advice for preventing birds and other animals are; 1. Used chop sticks, put in ground facing different directions. Like little death spears. 2. Try using a plastic owl. I keep one on my front porch to keep birds from coming and pooping everywhere. 3. Tie pieces of caution tape to sticks, then stick them in the ground all around the plants. It will deter all animals, including birds.

You use a hard way to shuck your beans. I use two different methods. One..I put the dry pods in a pillow case and throw into the dryer on "air dry" and tumble for a while. Two.. I lay a plastic tarp on the driveway and lay the dry whole bean plants in the plastic. I drape the two sides of the tarp over the dry plants. I then just roll the car back and forth over the tarp. I can then easily take out the plant stems/leaves, then after that pour the bean pods and chafe back and forth in the wind between to large bins. The bean chafe will blow out in the wind . Just like I do with the dryer beans. It do it on the lawn and then just mow the bean chafe later.

We just moved about 3 hrs north from where we were, into the TN mtns where no one has ever lived except for the Native Americans many moons ago. Have never had to worry about a lot of things I do now, especially frost & unknown invaders into the garden. So starting from scratch to build a level spot for garden, barriers to deer, elk, turkey, rabbits, etc since no fenced in yard with dogs inside & my 2 dogs, while GREAT protectors, can't be everywhere at once & are usually at my side wherever I may be so your suggestions are invaluable! I set a "reminder" for your next live stream, hopefully I will have service to watch when it starts, which is seriously iffy up here in the middle of nowhere. Have you considered writing how-to books?? I'd buy for sure! I have to take notes while playing your videos & am currently living in an 8x12 utility shed while building the house so keeping things organized is a serious effort with 2 cats inside as well! Bound books would make life so simple, lol. I've bought some books in the past but many contain little info & lots of "fluff" to make it look as if there's a ton of info within when there's not! Your no nonsense approach used in your videos would be a breath of fresh air in a book for those of us living off grid! Just a thought! Everyone around here goes to certain spots on the main roads to sit & use tech but I don't have time to come down off of the mtn to watch videos so have to catch up when I can! With everything going on these days, I feel the necessity to start my gardens as soon as I can just in case, regardless of how busy I am with the house itself. The sand is a great idea btw & I have a natural resource for it so it's even better for me!! Anyway, hope to catch your next live stream, have questions!!! Thank you both SO much!!

I've tried starting several vegetables early in containers and then transferring to the garden thinking they would get a jump start and produce sooner, but I didn't find that to be the case. When I planted later directly in the garden, the produce started at the same time as those I started early. Maybe it's not the age of the plant that's so important for an early harvest, but maybe it's the hours of sunlight. I don't know... Has anyone else ever done a comparative study like this?

Like others I've heard so many stories that say peas don't like to be transplanted or disturbed and must be direct seeded in the ground and here you are dumping them on the ground bare rooted and planting them out. Sowing in sand makes so much sense as the sand is free draining and seeds tend to rot if left soaking in water for more than 24 hours.

Hopefully you have shared where you purchased your floating row covers. I was so excited about leaving this message I haven’t checked the description box yet. 👀😍👩🏾‍🌾👍🏾💕. I just checked and of course you are on it. There are so many choices. Which one exactly did you order that came in this roll? Thanks

The drywall tape has given me an idea! When I go to winnow my wheat...those holes are small enough that the berries should not fall through! But should be able to get rid of the husks! Especially if I crisscross them! At least I can try and see! lol

[@Netz-Vlog]

I had my beans also from last year hoping this year to plant.

[@janetludvik9889]

Another thing I’ve tried to keep birds away from my garden and especially away from the elderberry shrubs I grow is using the anti bird holographic tape made into streamers and tied around the top of plants and the elderberries. It’s cheap enough and can be bought just about any where. The birds don’t like the sound of the streamers and when the sun hits it they are scared off.

Thank you was just thinking on planting beans and peas also . Great ideals and appreciate your help . 🤗😊❤️👍🙏

Excellent video! I got the inoculant a few weeks ago but have never actually used it myself. Tysm

[@cyclamengarden]

I've always wondered about this: is there a benefit to letting the beans dry in the pods and stay stored in the dry pods? Maybe there's something protective about the pods themselves?

[@joshthehomesteader229]

I do it just to ensure they are fully dried. I do the same with my okra and radish pods

[@nerfherder4284]

I dry them in the pod, often left on the plant. The hulls do tend to have a fair amount of mildew on them. Washington state weather 😉

[@patriciatinkey2677]

@@nerfherder4284 Oh the Humidity! Makes drying things- like seeds & pods & herbs super difficult in South Florida, also. Even the dehydrator takes longer here!

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have so many worms in my soil that the birds around here are like, forget vegetables when we can eat worm stakes 😂 I was worried my soil wasn’t good until I started digging.

thank you. now i know why have had trouble with growing my beans here in the desert.

[@NormBaker.]

I use dichotomous earth I buy in bulk from the installation section at Menard's to kill pest. I just sprinkle a good later down in the garden. Kills the slugs good.

That happened to me twice! All my greenbeans. But it was bunny rabbits. At first deer ate all my cucumbers...so i put a dog pen around the garden and replanted. Then the greenbeans were all gone again...and i saw bunnies scurrying about. They go right through the fencing. So im trying to figure out what i should do next. I looked at wire mesh but it had warnings not for food related spaces. So if anyone has ideas that might work on keeping them out of the fencing...id be glad to hear. I plan on planting merigolds borage and nasturtiums and allyisuim around borders. And the fence that deer jump im planning on blocking with sunflowers, okra and other tall and deer resistant plants to try and keep them out. Dont know how i can keep the squirrels out, they can climb the pens. They seem more concerned with digging to plant acorns though. Im also going to place some pinwheels and maybe male a scare crow! Its never been an issue before...and i just stopped gardening for the rest of the season hoping theyd move on somewhere more food dense. I just have a hard time physically doing all the work and then loosing it. I really need some to store for us. Dont mind sharing some nibbles but i just finally got two garden areas working...and before investing in more supplies and we ork...if like to up the chance of harvesting something for my labor.

[@teresadavis9283]

Put a layer of chicken wire over the bottom of the fencing to keep the bunnies out. Just 2 foot wide should work. There are both metal and plastic versions.

Had to pause to order Sluggo Plus. Some reviews say it's affected by water, some said had to reapply frequently - Do you find this to be true? Getting it anyway. My property is breeding slugs - Gotta try to control those nasty things & keep neighbor's cat safe. Thanks much👍

[@robertleski3307]

I did something a little different when we planted our beans we don't have the bird problem but rabbits and we wrapped the bottom with rabbit wire from the bottom and buried it 6" down and put a piece of metal roofing for the door at our beans are doing great 👍

[@onemomsdrm]

I just found you looking for garden beds... found your ikea bag video...and now I'm a subscriber. :) Question, did you mention any growing solution that goes in the sand? I have only grown in a garden soil medium and am really interested in trying the sand... Thanks for great, informative videos.

[@plantabundance]

Thanks for the sub! It's just plain sand without any added nutrients. Young seedlings do just fine without any added nutrition. Once the plant develops a nice root system nutrition plays a key role in development. Play sand and construction sand is what I use and can be found at the big box hardware stores. The packaging should specify that the sand has been washed/rinsed free of any salts. Cheers!

I have not ever had a problem with rolly pollies eating my young plants. I have a ton of them. But I always considered them the dead leaf cleaners.

[@teresadavis9283]

There are rolly pollys, and then there are wood lice. They look nearly identical but the wood lice cannot roll up into balls. These are the ones that eat dead leaves and fungi. Rolly pollys, however, also eat plants, particularly seedlings.
