Possible options: Did you till the soil prior to covering with the clear plastic? If so, this would eliminate tillage other than enough to facilitate good soil to seed contact. My understanding of solarization is that the weed seeds and pathogens are killed in the top1 to 3 inches. Adding and or covering with a 2 to 4 inch layer of compost will not only add nutrients but also beneficial micros and bacteria to the garden bed. You can then plant your seeds in this medium!
@growingoutthebox
@growingoutthebox Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comments. What you are doing with the 3 inches is suppressing weeds but that will not kill pathogens nor insects that overwinter like grubs and vine borers. It's not effective against root knot nematodes. Blacking out the soil can have similar effects of solarization but in general, clear plastic is most effective because it’s the heat rays of the sun that passes through the clear plastic becoming trapped that heats up the soil sometimes as deep as 10 inches below the surface. Even black plastic is less effective because it’s reflective and in most cases will absorbs some of the heat, clear plastic is better at trapping the heat. This video is a follow up to a short I did where the #1 question was, "What do do after you solarize the soil"? kzbin.info6lObQdXO2UE

@growingoutthebox
@growingoutthebox Жыл бұрын
Hey Mark. After the winter takes out the peas I'll just let the roots stay in place and the plants will become mulch to decompose over the remaining winter month. Spring plant more of the same little marvel sweet peas followed by black bush beans. The next 3 nights will be 31, 32, 34 degrees so I did a harvest today of the plants that might not make it. The 6 foot arbor to the right of the bed worked absolutely like I imagined. I have 7 foot snap peas growing up all sides. I wrapped it with a blanket and created a greenhouse with a large gaylord bag that fit perfectly around the raised bed. Couldn't have planned it any better. I have 3 more for the other 3 beds. I'll grow winter squash vertically on all 4. I'm doing a series of videos this winter as permitted. Building that raised bed you asked me about with the corrugated metal, The arbor that I just mentioned and the trellis I built on the @nosstagarden raised bed.

Hey Faith. Blessings to you. I see that last video got a few peoples attention. lol 😆. I definitely think it is a to mention. To your message…. When you say you put old plants in the bed do you mean as in growing. If so that would be a good idea. I have been conditioning my garden organically since starting 2020/21. 2024 I’m going to try a more biological growing method. I’m testing it out in the Fall garden which is more nitrogen demanding because of the leafy greens. Now that I have a decent idea of how to grow organically I want to try growing using only the biology in the soil. Home made Compost and compost tea. Going to be bringing the microscope 🔬 out. Thanks for the mention in your video. The funny part was when you said, “the big KZbin channels, 20, 30,000 and up” I was like, “am I a big channel”? lol 😂 I didn’t know that I was supposed to stop watching other people’s videos and sitting in their chats as a moderator…. I came to the garden because I didn’t like being around people who look down on others because they had more. When I look down it’s because I’m trying to lift others up. 🙏🏽 Happy thanksgiving

I prefer cypress mulch because it builds mycelium fungi pretty fast which adds to the diversity of the soil.

Hey Lashus. I’m recording the freeze prep. My blueberries are full of blooms. Not sure how it’s going to go but I’m going to try and protect them. Dwarf bananas are going inside. I might have to sleep outside for bringing them in but they are going in!🤫

Outstanding education. I absolutely love it here. U have to be in good relationship with ur garden in order to garden organically. I’m collecting rotted pumpkins again this year and saving some for my compost bins. I collect bags of leaves. I use them to make leaf mold, loose leaves on my beds and ground, plastic bags full on top and around my peppers and fruit trees for winter insulation here in zone 7. A large portion of my mid-sized space is covered in woodchips. Recently got into JADAM. I have the ingredients for everything but got intimidated to make any inputs this spring/summer. I’ll try again to get up the courage this winter. Also…I’m a first year organic gardener. This content is not overwhelming or discouraging at all. It’s proof positive that it can be done and that harmony with nature is much easier than disharmonious forceful gardening.

You can't solarize with black. Black plastic can have similar effects of solarization but in general, clear plastic is most effective because it’s the heat rays of the sun that passes through the clear plastic becoming trapped that heats up the soil sometimes as deep as 10 inches below the surface. Black is less effective because it’s reflective and in most cases will absorbs some of the heat, clear plastic is better at trapping the heat. 🤓

Your videos are jam packed with such valuable info and the fact you're also in GA is such a blessing!! I'm so glad I found your channel. But the more I learn the more questions I have. 🤦🏼‍♀️ How do you store your leaf mold and compost? I thought about having my husband build bins with pallets but I'm afraid it would attract snakes. 🐍🫤

That's very effective in suppressing weeds but not quite solarization. There has to be wet soil with clear plastic to allow to sun rays to penetrate the soil.

You can use coconut husk instead of peat moss. It’s cheap, helps soil retain moisture, allows soil to remain airy and promotes plant growth from the roots. It’s much better than peat moss

What I would say to that is you obviously have not viewed any of my content. What you call modern day gardener is learning to garden without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. “Organic gardening”. The absolute oldest form of gardening techniques on the planet. What I won’t do is apologize for trying to learn and coexist with my native environment. Yes, that requires work which is what’s lacking in the pop up culture that wants everything preordered and delivered in a Amazon box. Believe it or not…. Some of us want to actually know better about what we are doing in our gardens.

@@growingouttheboxyou are 💯 right about your techniques what you are doing is actually traditional and older ways of growing food not using toxic man made synthetic fertilizers! When people say it’s discouraging what they really mean is that they are to LAZY to do the work of real traditional gardening/farming/homesteading so they cheat themselves and harm the environment by using quick fix toxic fertilizers made by men ! Keep teaching the organic way awesome

@@growingoutthebox I have no idea why I'm just now seeing your reply. And yes, I'll give you that about my watching your videos, because I've only seen a few, & my comment was based on THIS VIDEO alone. But I think it's ironic the answer you gave, because I also am an organic gardener, and have been gardening since I was a child, but started again in the 90's. So I can't help but know that GARDENING IS WORK. This "Solarizing the soil" then "putting Life back into it" as you say, and brewing "Compost Tea" is what I was talking about could be a little overwhelming for someone considering to start a garden. And you can filter water, if you don't want to use the water as is. But no offence to you. Happy Gardening! 🌱
