I cannot tell you how much you have inspired me to grow our own vegetables. Your videos and tips have never failed!! I live on the coast of Alabama, so my weather is pretty close to your Florida weather. I now have a fenced container garden area that is 54' x 56'. I am starting my earth garden this week. If you have any great tips on keeping the grass and weed population down, PLEASE let us know!! God has blessed you and I love that you always give Him thanks and glory!! Keep the videos coming!! I feel like I've known you both for years! LOL

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

It sounds like you have a marvelous garden going! Keep up the good work. This year we laid silage tarp under all our grow tables in the container garden. Then we covered the tarp with chopped straw. Looks real nice and keeps the weeds from growing under the grow tables. We love it. For our earth bed we installed landscape Timbers around the perimeter which stops grass encroachment. We still have to hand work the weeds inside the bed but the grass does not try to grow past the landscape Timbers. Let me get you a link to our earth bed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV7Glpahn8qlZ80

[@smoore4427]

@@HollisNancysHomestead I'm not sure how I missed this video. Thank you so much!! I have heavy plastic under my grow tables at the moment, but plan on putting straw down when the weather starts getting hot. Well... I'm headed outside now to start planning my earth bed. I would not be where I am now in gardening without you two!!! You are such a blessing!! Hopefully, this last bite of cold won't hurt our veggies!!

What do you use to keep grass and weeds down. I’m on North Florida and the nut grass is terrible. It is so hard to get all the grass out to prepare your bed for planting. I’m a new gardener can you help with any suggestions. I just found your channel and I’m so glad. Thank you!!!

[@paulwilliams200]

Your "terrible Florida soil" looks to be VERY workable - as compared to my heavy clay-based soil here in East Coat Canada. It seems to me that it is much easier to amend - though it will probably need much more organic amendment than my soil.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

I find mixing some ash, along with some top soil and manure, with some of my clay here in Michigan, has worked pretty decent.

[@jomurphey]

Plant a fish with every seed like the Indians did.

Great video, as always. (Nancy, is he a perfectionist, or WHAT!?? lol) Question; if I’m only growing say 100 stalks couldn’t I grow in two rows and hand polinate instead of relying on the wind? Wouldn’t be that big of a chore, would it?? Thanks for making these corn videos - and all your videos.

I live in an apartment, is there a way to do this in a 5 gallon bucket or would it be an epic fail? Thank you! You guys are the best! God bless you🙏🌈

[@danielboyd4079]

I think your biggest challenge will be cross-pollination. Corn’s roots don’t go deep, so the container probably won’t limit root growth, but you’d need several containers all grouped together with access to a breeze to have a chance at pollination

[@aboutthatlife9026]

I think Burpee sells seeds that work in containers. Check them out. Good luck!
