My Five Favorite Gardening Hacks to Increase Productivity in the Garden

I love the snow fence idea! Thanks, gonna try this to prevent the squirrels from digging.

[@joegardenerTV]

That will make a big difference I think. Glad you liked!

Thank you, Joe. Appreciate the wisdom you share with us. I will try my buzzing my toothbrush on my tomato flowers. What edible plants are best to group seed? Which plants have roots too sensitive to group?

[@joegardenerTV]

Thanks! Actually, I find that you can do this with most seeds. I've had good success with most. I think the ones I would not group with the intention of separating would be the root crops since they don't like to have their roots disturbed. So no to carrots, parsnips, beets, and radishes. Peas and cucumbers don't like root disturbance either, so add those to the list. Otherwise, I think you are pretty free to try the rest. Good luck

I will need to order the snow fench to keep the squirrels out of the beds this year, thanks for sharing this tip.

[@joegardenerTV]

Glad it was helpful!

Love the fencing you put down!

[@joegardenerTV]

Thanks. It really does help!

I prep my beds for spring then use landscape cloth in the winter it’s black and helps thaw the ground in spring. Water penetrates too and no squirrels!

[@joegardenerTV]

Great strategy! 👍👍

I accidentally cut the leader off one of my Sun Sugar tomatoes but then I remembered your sucker insurance policy tip 🙌

[@joegardenerTV]

Yes! Excellent. You never know when you are going to need that insurance policy! Good save!
