Follow Kris' garden: / growalilgarden We crashed the home garden of one of our EG team members - Kris. She was our original assistant, and has now moved to the Head of Customer Experience role here at Epic Gardening...but more importantly than that, she has a VIBRANT home garden that produces 80% of the produce she uses to feed her family of 5.

[@blancadnavarro]

Kris is so inspiring. 5 eggs a day, 5 days a week and 80% produce holy moly.

[@gipsasl]

It's a very nice garden but there's no way that she's producing 80% of her food for a family of 5.They'll need 5 times more of what she's producing now and it would still not be enough. Its' very good for education but don't believe every gardening channel everything that they say. I'm not hating just being realistic...

[@m1sh474]

@@gipsasl 80% of produce it means 80% of different vegetables they don't have to buy.

[@gipsasl]

@@m1sh474 Yes I get that,but unless they eat vegetables only once a week it's impossible to be 80%. Or if it's 80% but only for a month or two.There is just not enough vegetables in her garden to sustain them throughout the year. And I'm talking from personal experience.

[@samljer]

@@gipsasl Correct, 80% with that space is not happening. 80% for one person maybe. People never seem to know just how little food a garden actually produces when it comes to self sufficient growing

I love it when you tour other people's gardens! So cool to see everyone's growing space.

[@darlinspaces]

I am going to do an indoor grow for food in Canada , just got my seeds and watering system and the reason I don't plan on showing a tour is because our communist wannabe govt will prob censor it. The probability of food being affordable has officially dwindled up here. A salad now costs about 18 dollars so yeah, not putting up with it.

[@teedub1990]

I love Kris's garden. It has just the right amount of whimsy, color and randomness to satisfy my eye. It's like it asking passerby to come in and explore. So welcoming.

[@jeffjefferson1682]

Her yard looks fantastic! She’s really using the space she has! And you’re right! It looks like it’s all been there forever! Not just a couple of years

[@AcornHillHomestead]

So awesome to see people getting back to gardening. Its so healthy. This was the family thing to do back in the 70’s and earlier to help stretch the budget. I only wish our parents would have engaged us kids a bit more in the process in my family. Both families had substantial sized gardens that produced a ton of foods. Fresh Produce is so expensive to buy, especially now. This is the way to go and there are so many varieties.

[@chloeokura6329]

Can’t believe she made this garden in 2 years, it’s beautiful! I just started my gardening journey so hopefully mine can compare someday 🌱

[@anjababs7240]

I enjoy meeting the other folks on your team and seeing what they’re growing and how they have things set up.

I think Chris needs her own channel. Many of us can relate to her. Great video

[@IlocanoTraveller]

😍👍

[@fthurman]

I love seeing everyone on the team's garden, but I'd really love you to do a series of videos of a complete novice's garden, start to finish, showing how to choose the placement, what plants to start with, what beds to choose, etc - all right from the beginning. That's the kind of content that would most resonate with me, as I'm suffering from decision paralysis, afraid to make the wrong choices. I wanna be walked through with a professional, on each decision to make, and how it's made.

[@Bumblebeenj]

We have been growing most of our vegetables in grow bags for more than 6 years now, and we are always happy with the results. We never shared pictures or videos anywhere because it wasn’t that important to us till now. Now we started to share some content here on KZbin. We always enjoy what we do and that brings a lot of joy to our lives. We hope to inspire people.

[@mandysleight1846]

I love the way Kris set this up, shows how easily doable this type of setup is in a suburban area. Gives me lots of inspiration!

[@kevintheweedman]

I canned for the first time last year. This year will be canning even more!! Food is expensive and will be less available soon

[@travistaylor6110]

I'm convinced that just about everyone on the Epic Gardening team is a millionaire. Or close to it. (1) they live in San Diego. Enough said. (2) these properties on the channel are so far beyond gorgeous that its impossible to imagine the normal person having this much space. Such a blessing.

[@gardeningwithkidz4189]

That was so awesome to watch and learn. Thanks Chris for letting us see around your garden. Well done

[@egbabydesign]

I clicked, because goals! I have a family of six, and we usually just have a few homegrown things mixed in with store bought produce. But I'm in zone 6b. Our grow season is so short, I would have to grow a TON and preserve it, and I'm just not sure I could do enough. I'm dabbling in indoor gardening, but had so many pest issues with no predator bugs in the house, and it got overwhelming to co-exist with them.

[@TL-cm5bd]

Love your garden! I just put in a 8x20’ flower bed and planted so many flowers to get more pollinators in the garden. I can’t wait. I’m going to keep working on getting the bylaw changed in my town so we can have chickens in the backyard.

[@epicgardening]

Hope you can get it changed!

Same on the law in my town! I’m “illegally” keeping quail and rabbits. I have “unofficial”permission from the council but if I get a complaint I will have to get rid of them. Quail are an amazing option if you can have them, they are frequently forgotten in a lot of law making so it’s a work around. Quiet, don’t take much space.

[@yeevita]

I love seeing growers' gardens. Love it. You could grow that passionfruit vine up the hill lol. My parents have a 2 story carport that covers an entry to their property. They grow a passionfruit vine that completely covers that carport lol. They harvest by just waiting for the fruit to fall down. Since the fruit doesn't get sweet until it get really winkly, after they pick off the ground, they will let the fruit sit some more still, so it works very well. But yeah, probably hundreds of fruit a season.

Hi Kris, just a heads up on the roots of artichokes. You mentioned you heard you could est them. I think you'll find that that will be Jerusalem Artichokes not the standard artichokes.
