Step 1: Don't live in an HOA or other authoritarian neighborhood.

Dont plant near the sidewalk especially if people walk their dogs past your house!

Why do the Americans and English need to have SO MUCH GRASS? They could take some feet off the edges and plant much more food without destroying the esthetic....

[@meevluv]

In the 50s this whole idea of dream house with a big grass lawn was sold to middle class families. There was a huge economic boom after WW2 and many more ppl could afford those. Then this became the accepted style of yard and it became uncouth and even "embarrassing" to have a natural garden. Americans are very slowly starting to change their cultural view on grass yards now.

[@bonsai_wolverine]

The grass turf lawn is an ecological tragedy of epic proportions - leading to habitat collapse, waterway eutrophication, potable water waste, and large scale exposure to toxic pesticides. (Check out Homegrown National Park)

I love this idea, but how do you keep the chipmunks, squirrels and deer from eating your plants? Fencing it in wouldn’t look that attractive for a front yard. Any suggestions?

[@do-it-yourself-skills]

I have sprinkled red pepper flakes on plants, and it helps to keep them from being eaten. I also drape bird-x netting over some plants. It's black plastic mesh, and you can't see it unless you get up really close.

[@meevluv]

If you have a cat or dog putting their fur around the base of the plants can help, the rabbits don't like the smell of predators

Sneaky gardening 😁 It isn't like a neighbor leaving an ugly, broken down car in the driveway, it's plants 🤨

[@Kiki-qs1jl]

I love your representation in your video, so happy I found your channel! I wish you have more audiences, please don't stop making videos. Your information is so useful.

[@foggybottomz]

Great video. I threw some lettuce seeds in my front bed this morning behind some ornamentals. Joe, what is "compost soil" as opposed to soil with compost? I don't think you've mentioned that before.

[@mickeyblue4731]

I just can't use milorganite on veggies ever since I found out it's made from human waste and sewage :{ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milorganite

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Thanks for sharing this information!

[@meevluv]

There's nothing wrong with that! The process uses bacteria to break down all the waste products so it is safe for growing food

[@joeblow8964]

@@meevluvWhat about all of the pharmaceuticals people consume....

[@chefe2152]

This is some serious mean kale!

[@joegardenerTV]

Kale is king in my cool season garden. Would not have a season without it! 👍

[@connielee2797]

Beautiful!

[@johnmack7336]

Hey Joe how are you , I'm trying bush patio tomatoe plants this year. You have any suggestions to help on a successful yield?...Any info will be greatly appreciated.....

[@andreahughes1500]

I wonder what to do with a container moss garden in a Michigan winter. Would it go dormant and be safe in a garage? Should it be left out and ok to freeze? It probably would die indoors...??

[@surendranathpr5504]

For highlights I can see your vedios and for detailing I can watch charles Dowling.

[@sherryminnich1179]

I wish you would put the product names in the show notes! I rewatched several times, but could not figure out what the nitrogen fertilizer name was. This is not the first time this has happened, so frustrating.

[@NudaCogNdaMurdaMachi]

Milorganite, I believe is what he mentioned.

[@wakjack7420]

So great

[@marylee2732]

Can you use dog or cat manure too? Just wondering.
