From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

I learn so much from your vlogs and I am grateful! ❤

I put a small disposable baby diaper in the bottom of my coco fiber hanging baskets. Works beautifully!!

[@dianadougherty1082]

never thought of that!

[@anounimouse]

Kaleb, to secure our row covers we screwed large washers into & along the wood edges of our raised beds and applied large magnets on the outside of the row covers to fasten onto the washers: It's a perfect system to keep the edges taut!

[@carinrichardson]

Brilliant!🎉

[@cynthia2233]

I came on here to say what others have said. I cut a wide strip of plastic and line most of the pot with it, leaving the bottoms open for better drainage. I guess it's a learn and do sort of thing, whatever your environment dictates. That size looks perfect for the area! Do you watch Garden Answer? She found a new type of tunnel that she seems to really like. The one she got seems to be thicker and not as transparent, but I believe she said that you choose the thickness when you order. Thank you for encouraging us to get out there and plant!

I’ve seen, on KZbin, a number of people line the inside/bottom of their baskets with plastic and punch a few holes in it to drain excess water. It helps retain some water and also extend the life of the coco liner. This would give your fern a bit more water than your succulents also.

[@sherrybee111]

You could try pvc pipes filled with sand to hold your cover down. I'm going to try it on mine this year

[@SuAnne-lc5rw]

Your home is beautiful inside and out! 😊❤

[@lauravandien2363]

Everything is looking so lush! The basket size is just right for your porch-lovely!

[@momfromcc2934]

I love your videos, especially the tutorial videos on gardening. This is my first year planting a container garden. Becky ,Acre Homstead, and your videos are my favorite. Thank you for your attention to detail and the stories you share.

[@LuckyEucalyptusTree-]

Your ferns are gorgeous 🥰

[@marymohan4034]

I love You're hanging pots I love the look of it I also love your rule covers. 💖 thanks so much for sharing ♥️

[@karenschmoutz6785]

I used a water retention product from Miracle Gro last year for the first time, pots as well as hanging baskets. It worked pretty well, but you’re correct about not needing very much of the product-it really does absorb the water & turns into a gel blob. Your porch ferns look lovely!

[@curtreese3089]

Hanging pots look great

[@user-kd7fs6lr3z]

One year I put a diaper in each pot and it worked great!!! Don’t know where I heard about doing that.

[@alandenniston8209]

Just ordered two of those 17”baskets. 😊

[@sharonlock7035]

I enjoyed watching how you put on your row cover. I used row covers for the first time this year to protect my new growth hostas and basil from rabbits. I used stakes to hold down the cover but I like how you used the posts. I’ll have to try that next year.

[@gardengal26]

I’ve struggled with my pots drying out for a long time. For the last several years I’ve lined the baskets with a single use plastic bag (stores don’t use them anymore , so I hung onto my collection) that I’ve poked holes in. They last from year to year and have solved the problem. I also maintain a pretty strict watering schedule now too, which has also helped.

[@patrickh2527]

Just ordered the same pot from Kinsman. It is now back ordered. Your viewers must have ordered a lot from Kinsman. They should sponsor your channel.🙂 Love your garden.

[@MissAAAAA1]

I used soil moist many years ago. I didn't find it was worth it.

[@kathystarnes6744]

For my containers that have cocoa fiber liners, I take a Menards plastic bag (these are nice quality) cut off the handles and cut down two sides by tge seam and lay these out in the bottom of the liner before adding my soil. Make sure you cut 1” slits in the plastic bag to allow some drainage. It works wonderfully! I’m in Sioux Falls SD zone 4b

[@crystaldance5731]

Wow you have a stunning home and gardens kaleb looks so beautiful ❤️😊👍🏻

[@user-xf7gn5jh4i]

Nice you made me a believer

[@cathysahlfeld3924]

Thank you! Such great info! 💚

[@cherylynnradziunas8539]

Is it possible to use fabric tuling as row covers or does the fabric need to be a specific type? So glad I happened to find your videos. Beautiful!

[@Gladioli10]

Really love your videos!

[@ChristineHemmert]

Great info and the hanging baskets are lovely!

[@sherriea2841]

Kaleb I am wondering how you secure your patio lights onto your home? The hanging baskets are lovely! I love your videos, I usually watch them on Facebook.

[@pammcmillan8842]

❤😊

[@user-ec1ry2vg4l]

Love the ferns - they give a lot of bang for your buck ❤🎉from Andrea 😊

[@wendywelsh2737]

I have used soil moist mats. It keeps the soil moist and also they don’t drip on the porch as bad. I recently saw Aquasav coco liner and decided to try one. Ferns are so pretty!

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

What is the brand name or where did you get those fiberglass hoopts for the row covers?

[@funnybunny81]

Beauty!! Can you share where your bird baths are from?

[@valeriebardascino4970]

So many great tips! Will the fabric cover also help keep out bunnies or at least deter them from munching on the plantings? Thank you for your website and wonderful content!

[@WyseGuide]

I don't have many issues with rabbits, but I imagine it could certainly help! 😊

[@valeriebardascino4970]

Worth a try! Thank you 😊

[@karenwittfoth5380]

Do any of the plants under the netting need pollination?

[@WyseGuide]

No, they do not! This is why row covers can be used. Everything under these row covers are cole crops which means they are harvested before they flower and need pollination. 🌿

[@lrlgr2366]

Would I be able to use cheesecloth in lieu of the row cover you have used?

[@alenakirby8311]

Hi! Can you share where you get these again? I missed where you said in the video. Also, this maybe a dumb question but do you not have to worry about pollinators? Is it bad if bees can’t access your garden?

[@agmin2098]

Kinsman gardens are where the baskets are from..lots of beautiful garden supplies 😊 and different choices of baskets on their website…Kaleb said he has the 17 inch.

[@annm6941]

🥰🌱🪴👍

[@suebailey6893]

Is Joel still your camera man?

[@jjharveyMI]

Young man, you didn't trim the grass around your raised beds.
