Jeez he just drops gardening nuggets left and right! I need to take notes every 20 seconds!

[@Mr.Potato420]

when you walked into the green house i was like "is that cannabis?" Good to see cannabis on the channel and man Jim prob grows some killer bud

[@wes4192]

Weed grown in biological soil is the best

[@Mr.Potato420]

@@wes4192 Just looking at that plant and it didn't have a speck of PM or anything wrong looking and he didn't even do anything with them but plant them! crazy how some growers baby the plants and do anything and everything and mess it up.

[@FeralHomestead]

Yep love to see them use it for medicine it’s very good to see

[@MRosati5000]

Fun to listen to Jim once he gets going. Those leaves caught my eye, too.

[@NoNORADon911]

I frowned when he said low TCH lol

[@monsurbanpatch]

I'm Australian and I love hearing Jim's accent! It reminds me of Bill and Ted. It makes him so much cooler.

[@GrimbolTheDruid]

Atta boy Jim! Glad to see you are growing ALL the plants! 👏

[@joshuabrown8768]

Pete! You're spoiling us with all this Jim time. I love it! Hope you're doing well, keeping healthy. Take care.

Another day on the property with Jim

JIM!!!!

[@ursulawells3597]

JIM is amazing 👏 😍 he definitely has a green thumb

[@fredbasset3379]

HAA..HAAA...HAAA...HIS HANDS R GREEN!!! ✋🙌

[@tribalwind]

Jim's a real one, always impressed at how tidy his gardens are...as I get buried under relentless weed pressure 😭

[@charlisierra1910]

I could watch Jim every day!!! love it!!

[@ria5435]

My hero,love what you do with what God Almighty has given to us

[@LP-ec1yp]

Man you and Jim are a wealth of information. Tell Jim I want to work with him just to learn his art.

[@litaor7352]

Following Jim, the white rabbit of queen nature and gardening, down into the worm hole is amazing :) Thanks a million!

[@toneyjohnson8910]

man that garden is doing great. Thanks Pete and Jim

[@sisiwest6169]

Wow! Jim you noticing the worms at work is truly phenomenal, the garden looks fantastic thanks for the tour Pete

[@alisonburgess345]

There are always little nuggets of gold in Jim's talks. He's a born gardener - you can just see the love of it radiating out of him! Thanks guys.

[@jodylavery5107]

Nice to hear Jim mention the scotia tomato-that’s our favourite here in Nova Scotia

[@sharonchew2144]

Would love to see Jim's cannabis plants after they have stretched and are in full flower, they sure look happy in the hoop house! Jim's use of cut hay as mulch is brilliant and seems to build soil life. He's got squash plants with no powdery mildew, just amazing!

[@wallsgallery]

Feeding soil is the answer. I feel for those who are on the fertilizer train - doesn’t look like it’ll make the rounds this year. I’m in town, growing on a 60 year old parking lot that was a railroad bed before that - third growing season has been mind blowing. Wood chips. Crazy happy plants and fruit trees this year - and next to no weeds. Thank you guys for your input to the knowledge trough! Feeding us all in many ways!

[@amyjones2490]

I could listen to him talk all day. What a kno man.

[@thejourneyofraymond5752]

Took one look at the back of the high tunnel and knew what it was. Was shocked to see it in this video but, pleasantly surprised. Maine is starting to look more and more attractive for one of at least two homestead sites. Love Jim's approach to life, gardening and migrating with the seasons! So awesome and inspiring! Good job guys!

[@przybyla420]

It’s like the soil crumbs are varnished, so it holds its structure. The soil life both produces and applies the varnish.

[@smeargut1809]

Amazing how he has such huge gardens in 2 places

[@Getawaymoments]

Great video. Have you ever covered how Jim makes the rebar trellises? Would be interesting to see. Thanks for all the work putting these together.

[@Taylor09]

I do concrete for a living. Go to your local contractor supply store and buy #3 or #4 bars 20ft long which is a standard. I can stand on the bigger #4 bar and pick up one side and bend 90 degrees in a sweep almost exactly like his. Also, if your ocd and want good spacing, hammer some pipe into where you want the legs and just put your "U" shaped rebar into the pipes. Rebar is designed to have tensile and compressive strength so the 3 and 4 bars are way easier to bend than you would think

[@Getawaymoments]

@@Taylor09 Interesting. Thanks for the ideas!

[@mamarrachopunpun]

What a lovely guy

[@trishdavi7049]

Hope you are all OK during hurricane season. Haven't heard from Jim in awhile.

Awesome video Pete, really enjoyed seeing Jim’s garden in Maine, can’t wait until he comes back to Florida so I can pick up some of his wild blueberries, they are delicious!

[@hart796]

Great video series with Jim in Maine! Ty vm Pete

[@thespiritualgardenhomestea8329]

I also have a watermelon growing in the greenhouse. Nothing on it yet, but the bees are starting to figure out where to go. We are putting up a 26x10 this weekend. Thank you for all your valuable knowledge. 😉😎💜

[@ogadlogadl490]

Jim is so freaking cool! Full of knowledge, thanks for sharing!

[@jimallison6125]

Jim’s garden reminds me of the Ruth Stout no-till garden book put out many years ago. She grew her garden with out tilling and only using straw mulch. I think she was in Maine too.

[@CharlesGann1]

Thank you Pete and Jim! You guys rock. So grateful to listen to the flow of experience based wisdom Jim shares. He is being all the soil web,regenerative speak, He is our modern Massanobo Fukuoka! Thank you Pete for capturing and sharing to all of us. What a privilege.

[@nancyfahey7518]

Jim is doing a gr8 job. Interesting to see the mycelium impact on the whole soil structure and benefit to plants.

[@slemaster11]

What a legend.

[@edwinkotras9292]

I'm not a farmer, but have an interest it. Thirty years ago I came across a book written by a lady in her late seventies, who lived in New Hampshire, and was using this grass mulch technique. She was visited by the University of New Hampshire agriculture professors. This technique encourages worms and keeps the soil moist.

[@nightflight41]

Thanks Pete I ain't got nothing but love for you brother.

[@suevalenti9584]

Great diversity, and passion for growing!

[@moneymikegotuvideos312]

Another banger 🔥

[@craiganderson3952]

Food soil web, what you're doing is awesome mate!!

[@mainegreengrower4209]

plants are looking good brother cheers!

[@TheRealColt]

Tell yo boy Jim to look up someone called Rick Simpson. A guy out of Nova Scotia. I encourage jim to look into high thc cannabis plants. Thc is more medicinal than CBD and when both are used that’s when you get the synergistic effect. Keep up the good work godbless. P.s Rick Simpson popularised pure cannabis oil and showed thousands and thousands of times how effective it is against cancers.

[@mrsmcs93]

I can't be the only one interested on learning more about the rebar trellises.

I'm getting so excited for spring now. These channels wake me up and hype me up. I get super depressed during the winter but guess what it's time to start seeds plan out the garden and all that good shit! I wish I could turn that into a living... But this is a great channel this guy has a great passion and he's aligned everything so that he can make money out of what he loves. Just trying to get on the same path love and respect always...

Will be interested to hear more about fruit set in a green house vs no covering and how his CBD buds do for clients. Hopefully more video comments on that subject? I always wondered how plants behave in a tunnel vs outside with the plastic in between them and the sun These Jim videos just get better and better

[@nicholasnapier2684]

No I always wonder why my grandfather had borax around they grew eggplant through everything and what you’re describing I think they had that on hand every time he was crazy about it he used it for everything in the garden is pretty clever when I ever took the time to listen to him when I was young😂

[@o.g.aurthermorgan3104]

You will get powdery mildew on the and plants if you dont thin them out. As soon as there is a significant temp difference between night and day is whenn the mildew will show up. Stay well ventilated if you dont plan on thinning them out

[@gcgopro6912]

The mulch creates ideal breeding medium for the slugs.

[@maryrosedumanglas3047]

I love it, it’s inspiring..

[@przybyla420]

For perennials it really helps to clear the area first, then amend, then plant, then mulch. Now all you have to do is maintain an edge by mowing/edging, scything, or hoeing or tilling. And top off the mulch as needed. Newbies who are into mulching tend to neglect the maintaining the edge part. You need to stop the plants from creeping in from the edge and also from getting so tall that they can send their seeds far into the demilitarized zone. When mulching, pay particular attention to this zone where nature will conspire to have weeds infiltrate.
