Growing a Greener World Episode 1204 - Fall Gardening Chores

[@maggiemanzke7926]

Professional soil sampling is the way to go. Please consider keeping some leaf litter in place for the ecosystem. Lots of critters need the leaf litter for over-wintering.

Thanks, Joe! I appreciate that GGW is available on KZbin! Good episode!

[@Lved6]

Thanks for this. Love the longer videos.

[@markmyart]

Very nice that this episode contains info specifically relatable to us gardeners in North Georgia.

[@alisonokuda5000]

This has been the most informative episode!! I especially liked the tip about using old plastic bags to solarize diseased plants. I hate having to throw bags and plants away, so now I have a way to reuse both. Thanks!

[@LorienGreen]

I did a soil sample last year and it really helped. The Extension offices make it super easy!

[@radhavaidyanathan2988]

Your videos are a valuable tool for home gardening. Thank you! I enjoy watching your videos and learning each year.

[@apocalypsehomestead3457]

Love this video! I just bought a little chipper/shredder and am looking forward to cleaning up the branches we've been throwing into the edge of our property. I'm actually looking forward to all these fall chores!

[@heirloommountainseedswoman4444]

I use the stuff I dont like as cover crops, obviously as a seed co I have a lot of extra seeds, but it doesn't get wasted

[@tamararoberts9307]

Great information 👍 thank you !

[@daisyruiz2631]

Is relly amazing inspire

[@nancishufritz5499]

My big question is- wouldn’t cover crops keep growing, even if you turn them in? Clover, in my yard, never dies- in fact, there are some spots I can’t get rid of it! Won’t that just be filling my raised beds with problem weeds?

[@Big-Char.]

Big negative ghost rider.When you turn a cover crop in its roots and all and it gets covered by the soil.

[@veenawilsonpudukkaden1306]

Great Video..very informative !

[@todd1469]

Love the podcast and just now starting to watch the videos but Joe! Eye protection please sir😊

[@tpen891]

Question where do you get such a large bag of Organic nitrogen fertilizer?

[@LoanNguyen-sb6pj]

Why my soil every time I plant the vegetable have a root like kohlrabi they have a big white root look very ugly .Why

[@tamarawilcox6954]

Hi Joe, I'm very disappointed that you did not plant the tree according to the latest research given by leading researchers/guests on your show (root washing/pruning). We desperately need garden KZbin channels that demonstrate these practices. Also, disappointed that you did not address the potential dangers of importing mulch with the recent emergence of invasive jumping worms, about which you have also featured leading researchers on your show. In short, I wish your channel here would be more representative of the research that you represent in your podcast.

Sorry but that woodland on your property covered with compost and wood chips will eventually kill those trees. A wooded area needs an upper story of trees, a understory of shrubs, perennials and ground cover to be viable. It takes time for the trees to decline from the roots being suffocated from too much nitrogen and pathogens from fungus causing anthracnose. You see this everywhere nowadays that's why a certified arborist is a valuable resource.

[@littlecougarkitty3063]

Why, why did you put all those peppers on to the compost? Such a waste.

[@kareharpies]

Some pepper varities go mushy in texture (although they look alright externally) if they go through several days of frost.

[@bryonthomas7130]

Appearently, this guy thinks that all everyone has to do all day is just garden.

[@joansmith3492]

Throw it away. Where do you think it goes? Another planet? why do you tell people to spread disease? Pitiful

[@apocalypsehomestead3457]

I would assume he meant to a landfill. It's only spreading disease if someone goes to that landfill and uses that soil in their garden to plant the same thing the disease was attacking. I can't imagine anyone doing that.

[@lucypearlmorgan3115]

How does Nature deal with disease? She is not throwing it away

[@joansmith3492]

@@apocalypsehomestead3457 organic matter is often diverted to composting facilities and then it is spread farther down the line. “Throwing it away” is irresponsible IMO.

[@LorienGreen]

@@joansmith3492 I get where you’re coming from but these diseases are natural and airborne. They’re everywhere already. The real concern with compost now is the persistent herbicides and man-made chemicals. I do think the phrasing of your original comment was a bit harsh. Especially directed at someone so passionate about gardening.

I guess you could send it into space on the next rocket mission from space x. Do you have Elon’s number by chance?
