I love watching ur videos and the fact that u r in my same zone -6. I will be going to barnside farm for mulch, top soil this year. I am retired 2 years and gardening has been most enjoyable part of my life. I have success with gardening and continue to add on more foods. Only thing I am missing are livestock. During this Coronavirus era in our life I am greatful to God to have skills to grow food and prepare meals from old fashioned way. I tried to tell folks over past couple years to learn to grow food and can because of global warming and is healthier and fresher. They looked at me like I had 2- heads. Now they are wishing to have listened to me. Come on back with more videos, Farmer Fred!

Thank you for the tour. I was amazed at the dizyof your cantaloupe. What do you feed them to get that large?

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

+Simply Garden I just add my two or 3 inch layer of compost in the beginning of the season along with my alfalfa pellets throughout the season and making sure my soil is well aerated with my garden fork…… That seems to benefit all my plants! thanks for stopping by and commenting and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I need to get my hands on some fresh local cow manure for sure!

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

+Simply Garden Another possibility is you could use composted leaves!

[@SimplyGarden]

Thank you, I'll try that if I can't get any manure. Would you recommend using the alfalfa pellets? If yes, when should I apply them for asparagus bed?

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Adding alfalfa pellets to your garden is always a win-win situation… they add additional nutrients to your soil! You can use them for your asparagus beds and add them anytime of the year because they are slow release nutrients!

[@SimplyGarden]

I know one thing for sure. If you decide to, you'll be very successful at growing it.

[@jerome2157]

Hi Fred :) how should i use my alfalfa pellets when preparing a new garden bed? Should i crush them first or soak them and use as a tea? Also can i just mix it into the soil? Thanks and hope you are doing well! :)

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Hi guany, we are doing very well here thanks, with your alfalfa pellets you could mix them into your existing soil around the plants, or you could make alfalfa tea which would be a liquid fertilizer which would probably feed your plants much quicker.

[@jvh1756]

Awesome garden. I would like to get your recommendations on growing cantaloupes. I just cant seem to get any fruit.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

+Jim H thank you… If you are getting a lot of green leaves and not much fruit it sounds like there might be too much nitrogen in the soil!

[@dontwary2786]

I have read that you use a considerable amount of leaf compost amended with top soil. Is this delivered leaf compost amended with the top soil by the supplier or do you amend it after arrival at your farm? I wonder if you would kindly share the mix of leaf compost & top soil--if you do the mixing what is the brand of top soil you use? I live in New Mexico and the soil here is lava based and basically of poor quality. I do have the ability to make plenty of leaf compost so that is not a problem. Thank you for any info you may be able to provide regarding this matter. Don

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Hi Don, here is a video I did might help answer your questions… kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHycZaasoN6Cprs&index=28&list=UUQXpOXY84C3IEh5vh_u7wDQ ... Sounds like your best way is to use the leaves that are available in your area…You don't necessarily have to add topsoil if there is nothing available in your area…I hope you have a bountiful garden season!

[@SimplyGarden]

Hi thatpart1, what do you feed your asparagus? Do you do all organic?

[@jaquis6654]

The spinach vine was great surprise, can you tell me what is the name, please?

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

The name of the vine is called Malabar spinach!

[@SimplyGarden]

I hope you aren't getting flooded out with all the rain you are having. Do you grow asparagus? I'm amazed how well alfelfa pellets do for you. I'm looking forward to try it next year.

What is the black plastic you are using? Any specific kind? Does it drain water, or is it solid plastic?
