Hey David, as I watched you plant your black cocoa beans I remembered that my husband made me a special planter for my corn and beans. It is a 40 inch piece of PVC tube with a slanted end on the end that I place in my furrow and I drop my seeds in from the top end. Saves my back from bending over and puts the seed just where I want it. I later fixed a plastic cup to the top end to hold my seeds instead of trying to hold the seed package, the tube and pick out the seed to plant. Now I just hold the planting tube and use my other hand to drop a seed down the tube right where I want it to go. My back has thanked my husband many times for my special planter.

Dry beans are the way to go. Plant lots of rows. If you don't yank the whole plant out of the ground and cut it off at the base , we leave all the organic matter and nitrogen nodules in the Earth. Beans for soup, beans for seed, beans for baked. Dy no mite. 😉 Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us Dave.

I'm being honest when I say that you are the only garden channel I'm watching because you give me hope and the desire to keep trying. It's been a hellova month. I'm not even making time for Permies. Thank you. Thanks to your channel, I feel like planting another set of bush beans for the chickens to eat (but they pay me back with eggs and they don't eat everything ...). Maybe I'll see what I can do while waiting for other things to happen. It's not that late in the season. Besides, the chickens need a new sleeping spot and I have some more seeds that can have a chance.

That's a good point about the charcoal briquettes. A year or two ago my preschooler decided it would be fun to knock the grill over to examine its contents, and left a pile of charcoal pieces and dust on the lawn. I was too lazy to clean it up so I decided that it would be an interesting experiment to let them disintegrate on their own and see whether it had any effect on the grass. It took a while for them to break down but I can tell you the next summer the grass in that area was very lush and green. I haven't tried to grow any annuals there but I suspect that, as you said, if it's safe for cooking food, it's probably safe for your garden.

Missed another Goodstream but here watching the replay, always love seeing your Good Garden David, and great you showed us your pumpkin harvest as well you riding your tractor with your two youngest sprouts. And never having tasted okra, let alone grow it, I'm DAZZLED by how high it gets and how productive it is, and two kinds, a green and a red okra. LOL....eating watermelon and spitting out the seeds for next year's volunteers, love that, kinda like the street fruit vendors here, they sell chopped watermelon and cantaloupe, the watermelon is too hard to pick out the seeds and the cantaloupe, sometimes they'll leave a seed or two on the fruit cubes, well here comes some customer, buys his fruit, spits the seeds out as he/she is walking along some sidewalk or vacant lot, spit a seed out and PRESTO, out of a crack in the sidewalk a watermelon or cantaloupe sprout appears! And that watermelon you ate is yellow interior? Seen some at the La Comer Supermarket, maybe I'll buy some, just watching ya eat the SCRUMPTIOUS Watermelon, makes me want to try some Yellow Watermelon! Thumbs up, liked and gotta love the vintage Compost comercial starring the Beautiful, the Talented and the Smart Miss Rachel! :)

That's strange John Jeavons said watering twice a day, from what I remember reading the book and watching the biointensive stuff, they used much less water less frequently and just go for deep watering sessions once established. I left for Kenya and didn't water for 3 months and came back to all kinds of winter crops ready to eat in North Texas! I do water with overhead irrigation twice a day when seeding though

I just started growing them last year, and they're fantastic...super tasty big honkin' things, and prolific producers, so you can put up a lot of high-protein food in short order.

I agree with the logic to not cook with briquettes nor would I put them in the garden HOWEVER. in general they're probably ok provided they aren't the match light briquettes. They generally use a vegetable or corn starch binder and add lime to make the briquettes burn slower and have very white ash. I use lump charcoal and if you must use an accelerant to light the charcoal use denatured alcohol, it is cheap fully burns off and there is no after taste. We also use it for fondue when we have the time and enough brain space with our four hooligans.

I've always dumped BBQ grill ashes onto my garden. Charcoal is just charred scrap wood from sawmills. There's charcoal kilns all over the place around here. I planted some green onions 3 years ago that I bought from the grocery store into a 3 gallon pot that was filled with nothing but wood ash that I shoveled out of a burnt dozer deck. This past spring I transplanted those same onions into normal dirt and they're still growing just fine. I bet a guy could use ashes from a crematorium in his garden and it wouldn't hurt a single solitary thing.

I am interested in your reasoning for tilling with a tractor. Is this a one-time practice? Or your general method for garden beds.

The neighbor lets me borrow it and it's way easier than forking by hand. My Grocery Row Gardens are no till, but my single-row field crop beds alternate between cover crops and staple food crops with tillage a couple times per year as needed.

My neighborhood rat problem has gotten so outta hand it’s ridiculously bad , I’m glad I left my fruit trees to grow tall because all the fruits are high in the air and there’s been owls around at night so the rats don’t climb up the trees 😁, wish all my neighbors would actually start doing something about it , my cherimoya tree is LOADED!!!

I'm sorry. In Grenada the farmers killed every snake they saw - and none of them were poisonous! The rats were terrible, so then they turned around and put rat poison everywhere.

They also say artificial ingredients and gmo are ok.... but are they Like the Bible says my people perish from lack of knowledge I know your a smart man David, but things aren’t always what they seem ... Thad’s why I shop at natural grocers it’s a health food store. Kinda expensive but it pays in the long run. We don’t get sick and won’t have cancer in the future.
