Hey guys, if planting squash in hills doesn't work for you, try this. It worked great last year. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.

I'm jealous of your rabbit manure! That's amazing stuff. The best garden I had was the one where I had a nearly unlimited aount of rabbit manure to add to the garden. After that garden, wee had to move, so the rabbits had a new home with other people. I now use chicken manure, but I do try to compost it first. I haven't had luck getting my squash to set fruit. I can grow them, but it's the setting fruit that seems to get stuck. I guess I'll need to make sure the flowers are getting pollinated. I'll try this method. The worst that heppens is it doesn;t work for some of the plants. If I'm not getting squash now, for whatever reason, not getting more squash isn't a hardship. Best thoughts! Keep on growing!

Rabbit manure is really good, and the best part is earthworms love, so they come to your plants and leave worm castings. Zucchini are pollinated by bees, mostly maybe trying to add a few flowers around your plants might draw more in. Aged chicken manure is another great manure very high in nitrogen. It's great to hear from you again. I see you have another video out can't wait to see what the birds are up to. Thanks for sharing.

@@jonbussey5353 I found some videos from last year I'm posting. I hope to get this year's chicks' videos up soon. Thanks for the ideas on manure and reminding me that flowers are not just pretty. I try to interplant as much as possible, but remembering where I planted flower seeds can get funny. I keep thinking about starting with beekeeping, but that seems more a new skill set, so I'll wait. Maybe I'll set up something for native bees? That sounds more fun and can be garden art, too.

[@jonbussey5353]

I will be looking forward to watching your videos. Some people call it a weed, but I have a lot of clover growing in my yard, and I think all the flowers help attract bees. When I retire, I think I would like to try bee keeping, I just don't have the time right now.

0:44 Exactly like my soil. Clay rocks.

[@jonbussey5353]

Until someone has to fight it, I don't think they fully understand what a pain it is. Thanks for watching, and I hope your garden is doing great.

I have to plant my zucchini in raised beds or grow bags because my soil is so bad. If I plant them in the ground I would have to constantly add amendments. Too much time and money.

[@jonbussey5353]

It sounds like you have found a way to grow zucchini that works for you, and that's great. As long as you're having fun, there's not a wrong way to garden. I'm starting to see how raised beds are very beneficial for growing some types of plants. Thanks for sharing and watching. I hope your garden is going well.

I keep telling my husband it is okay to take off the flowers and damaged leaves until it gets bigger. I will show him your video so he doesn't think it is just me saying it, lol 😊

[@jonbussey5353]

My wife would also say I never listen to her. She got a good laugh when I read this to her. This comment made my day. Thanks.

Your soil looks worst then ours 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I find that my small squash plants kinda shed their flowers when they are small, even if I don’t get around to plucking them. These plants get huge fast so that phase doesn’t last long tho 🤣 great info, thank you

[@jonbussey5353]

I'm constantly doing things to amend my soil. It's a battle. I also see some flowers falling off on their own, but I had several I had to take off. They do grow fast. Thanks for watching.
