Thank you! I love the Scripture you added at the end of your video. God bless you both ❣️

Hollis have you ever thought of making a ebook of your diagrams? I think you could definitely sell a few. Janice

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You are so sweet. We would rather give them away. We don’t sell anything❤️

[@oldcyclist5880]

Just came in from picking blackberries and this video was in my recommended list. I'm in inland SoCal (Zone 10a) and blackberries can do well without acid soil, but they definitely produce better with a lot of water. They are very invasive. Cane tips will root easily when they touch down into soil and the plants also send runners underground. I keep them trellised in a 2' x 30' strip of soil between a sidewalk/street and a retaining wall.

[@MrQuaazga]

Hi Hollis and Nancy! I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I am learning so much about planting. So Awesome!

[@KenyasDecorCorner]

We just planted sweetie pie blackberries a few days ago in larger pots for now & I figured we could plant them in the ground later after they grow a bit larger. I had no idea about the fish! I will keep that in mind when we put them in the ground! Thanks so much for sharing! Much Love & Many Blessings!💙🙏💙

[@richardmiesell4785]

And so easy to propagate once they get growing good either by cuttings or allowing the canes to touch the ground to where they will put out more roots. The canes can actually be bent over and covered with dirt and from there they will root out and put out new shoots.

[@sallyburkett1676]

I saw a kitty cat running behind you while you were getting the soil prepared. Good thing you covered up that fish! Lol

[@chrissollazzo6835]

As usual, another very informative video. I would first like to thank you for the effort you put into making all these videos. I'm certain they take alot of time. Second, I would like to express my gratitude for your willingness to share your experiences and knowledge with so many people. I too manage a small homestead along with my wonderful wife and kids. Have you considered publishing a book with your gardening expertise? I think I speak for many by saying that I would jump at the chance to purchase such a book. The videos are great, but a book can be accessible in any situation, and be a quick, indexable, memory refresher for those of us who tend to forget what we entered a room for. 😉 May our Lord continue to Bless you and your family and thank you again for blessing us with your videos.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you so much for your words ❤️. Definitely don’t have time to write a book at this time. Very overwhelmed with getting the homestead up and running before I get too old. For now, you have all our videos you can refer to before you plant to help you. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️

Great video, who is performing the blues backing track on this? Give them some props, it's a great choice to your video.

[@SouthernGardensHomestead]

I grow several varieties of BlackBerry plants in Lower Southeast Alabama and they grow like weeds here on my place the soil pH is 6.2 I have never had a acidify my soil not even once. I have had most of them in the ground for 5 years. I usually dig up some of them in the fall and give them away, just to thin them.

[@knitordi]

Very interesting tutorial. I've grown mine supported by a trellis with drip irrigation in CA. Seems to work very well. I get 2-3" blackberries. I like your soil mix....I will have to try your recipe. You always produce fantastic fruits and vegs. God Bless.

[@MeandYouHello]

Thanks for sharing

[@nancyhaywood6486]

thank you two for this video. i will need it, i have some berries to put out.

[@nickbild3538]

So funny to see how different things are in different regions. I live in Oregon and here blackberries are extremely invasive and grow out of control just about everywhere. They will choke out everything else if you let them. Most people here try to eradicate them from their property. I see you planting them voluntarily and I’m thinking “NO! DON’T DO IT!!!” Hopefully they won’t get out of control there! Good luck and enjoy those berries.

[@shellywelsh2316]

Yup, up here on Vancouver Island blackberries are a menace. LOL

[@FM-zs2fu]

Most Gardner's that put them in are pro active so are cutting off the dead canes after they've finished fruiting and taking a shovel to any additional unwanted plant runner's coming up so they tend not to get out of hand....but yes if they are wild or not been "controlled" they are a invasive weed throughout the world. ☺️🇦🇺

[@wandasinger7713]

Can the black berry plants be potted in pots? I just got two bare root plants from my local nursery. Thornless black berry bush. I love black berry. Thank you for sharing such good information. Blessings

[@marcialittle7893]

Love your videos, I can no longer plant things in the ground. The stinking bermuda grass and the bind weed here in Wichita, Kansas are horrible. I built raised beds four years ago and am now taking them apart to do containers with the cement blocks as the "Raised" part and containers setting on them to keep them free from bermuda and bind weed. Grrr!!!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We do raised grow tables for all our containers. I think that is a solution to your weed problem. We have a series coming out on this in the spring. Be sure to watch. I think you will want to incorporate some of them into your garden

[@jenniferraiche5052]

[@mikey6071]

I'm growing wild blackberries, and they're blooming this year. What would be a good fertilizer to toss on them? Also, since I've been making tea from fig leaves, I'm now learning about blackberry leaf tea. Will you be making teas from any of your trees?

[@stephanienewhouse2056]

Your diagramming is very helpful. Thank you for these specific subject videos. May I ask why you do not use the chicken manure rather than fish? Here in NY, I fill the raised vegetable beds every Christmas with the chicken run manure and chopped straw bedding half and half with the leaf/garden compost from last year and let it rot/cool until spring planting. Then ready to plant in Spring.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You are doing a perfect job with your chicken manure. Our winter is too short for the manure to cool down so I use it in beds that I only grow once per year like my watermelon patch. I use the fish for a rapid decay and it won’t burn if I keep it at the correct depth

[@stephanienewhouse2056]

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

My raspberries are about 50 feet away

[@dixieromero5301]

[@josephauld6565]

Awesome video. I learn alot from your videos. Now if soil ph is high use sulphur but if it low what do I put in to raise the ph level?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Add lime to raise Ph

[@josephauld6565]

We live in mid S.C where it is red clay. So most of our gardening will be in containers. I'm thinking also we have alot pine trees, oak, hickory so I guess our soil is pretty fertile but the clay is not so nice to work with. Lol

[@airlily5379]

Good day!!! I have my blackberry bush and grapevine growing from the same 14×14×17 pot... the Blackberry bush is growing like a vine rather than a bush, i used the same soil combo minus the fish and sulfur. The plant was about the size of yours when i started (13 weeks ago) and now it's vined to about 7 feet. It gets about 7 hours of Central Florida sun per day. Should it be flowering by now?

[@129kittykati]

If you plant these types of berry bushes in 10 gallon buckets would you have to change out the soil sometimes? I live in Florida and my plants are doing fine just not growing too fast

I would change out the soil every couple of three years

[@novadante1975]

Would it still work if I just threw a few blackberries in to some random dirt

[@armondbrown2994]

also you used coffee grounds, if you don't want to use lime !!!!! 2 to cover the smell of the fish

[@charger440]

I am confuse!! I see you’re acidifying your soil and then add bonemeal. I thought bonemeal was mostly calcium and if it is, could that neutralize the acid ? Thanks, always a pleasure watching your videos! 👍🇨🇦✝️

[@ifihadthumbstheydbegreen.9426]

Jocelyn Savard the lime over the fish also makes it less acidic as well. But the peat moss and acidifier helps lower the ph. Bunch of amendments, but Hollis knows what he’s doing.

[@charger440]

If I had thumbs, they’d be green. I know the man knows what he’s doing, that’s why I am asking. I am trying to be a successful gardener; right now, I am not! Just as an example, I have lost a bunch of tomatoes due to unbalanced ph. Right beside this tomatoes I have lost, there’s a different variety and they are doing very well. My comment wasn’t for criticizing, I am just trying to get enough knowledge to avoid the same problem. Regards!
