How did you get 16 thousand subs because I’m trying to make a good gaming channel

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Doing content that helps others :) Answering to common questions with my unique view.

[@FruityPringle]

Thanks but how do you do that with gaming

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Like you do with everything. There are plenty of videos out there that teaches you how. I can teach you how to grow vegetables not channels :D

Great advice for a square foot novice. Thank you

[@SmallGardenQuest]

You're welcome! Is this your first year doing square foot gardening? How many raised beds will you have?

[@twinny12009]

@@SmallGardenQuest Hi I did a version of square foot gardening in pots last year but with the hot weather it was so difficult to keep up with the watering as it dried out so quickly - didnt use Mel's mix! This year I will be using raised beds and I 2 x 4ft beds and 2 x 3ft beds. Have you made a video on what plants should/shouldn't be planted with what other plants. I am a bit confused, if a certain plant is not to be planted with another ie bean with garlic, does this mean not to plant in the same raised bed or just not close to it? If so how many square feet apart should each be planted? Hope this makes sense😊 Really enjoy watching your videos, you explain things so well. Many thanks

[@SmallGardenQuest]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfbfKmlod54n80 Here is a video of how I planed my garden last year. What plant together and what not is not that of a great importance. To solve your watering problem you can use mulch. I made a Vido od this topic how mulch is helpful 😊

[@mariaanderson6503]

This is my first year thanks for your tips 😍😍😍this video 😍😍😍😘

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Most welcome 😊 How big your garden will be?

You made my day!!!! This is my 2nd year gardening and I am starting my seedlings inside for the first time. I wanted 4x4 raised beds. You provided the most affordable option. Thank you!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Wonderful! Great to have a new gardener friend onboard! I also have a video tutorial on how to make raised beds out of pallets for free on my channel :) Go check it out ;)

[@pinkskitchen]

So good my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊

[@pamelachappell1089]

Great info; thank you! This is my first year to try this.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

You can do it! How many garden beds are you planning to have?

[@pamelachappell1089]

@@SmallGardenQuest, well I keep adding! LOL I was going to start with one, but I am now thinking 3.....:)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Great plan. I started with 5 and it was a little bit too much for my first year so 4 i think is a magic number but also 3 should be OK

[@MistyMarie1970]

Great video, i got a an answer to a little question i had been pondering on. One thing i see missing is potatoes. Love the easy tips

[@SmallGardenQuest]

I have my potatoes in grow bags don't worry :) Not much but they are there. I am looking in to it where I can expand to make a dedicated place for them.

[@helen2061]

Thanks for the great advice! Just got the book and plan to do all square foot gardening next spring 👍 I set up my first square foot bed three weeks ago and my fall seedlings are coming up 😄

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Fantastic! Yes the book is great, very informative with lots of pictures to help you out. I will go and definitely read it again this winter :) And best of luck with your garden! How many square foot gardening boxes are you planning to have?

[@helen2061]

@@SmallGardenQuest thank you! I plan to have 5 beds in front...took away part of the lawn for them because that's the sunny area and three more in back that gets a little less sun...all are close to the house and water because my yard is small 😁

[@SmallGardenQuest]

@@helen2061 Great. The raised beds can be esthetically pleasing so no worries :) They will look great upfront!

[@whippetgirl123]

It's my second year gardening, and I started last year in just containers. I'm excited to plant outside this year!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Wonderful! What method will you use? How big of a garden are you planning to have?

[@whippetgirl123]

@@SmallGardenQuest Oh goodness! Probably just a small garden for food, and I'll be using the square foot gardening technique for sure! I'm still using containers for some of my herbs (mainly my mint, since it's such a water-hog). I'm excited to plant some flowers too - milkweed and nasturtiums as well as some zinnia :D

[@angelau1194]

Great video - thank you - and yes your garden does look beautiful : ) Happy New Year and please stay safe!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thanks so much! 😊 Really appreciate the feedback and the compliment! BDW do you have any tip you wish to share with the community?

[@mirchichamu]

Thanks for the wonderful video. What is the difference between parlite and vermiculite?

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Although it’s a common misconception, vermiculite and perlite are not the same. Vermiculite is a silicate material that’s brown or beige in color and has a soft, sponge-like texture. Perlite is harder, is white in color, and is made out of mined volcanic rock. Vermiculite and perlite also differ when it comes to pH level, which may be a consideration when you’re choosing which to add to your soil. Perlite is slightly alkaline, while vermiculite tends to be closer to neutral. (If you aren’t sure what your soil’s pH level is, our article “How to Test pH in Your Soil” can help.) Vermiculite and perlite do share many qualities. Both products are inorganic, lightweight, and relatively sterile. And of course, both are used as a soil amendment to aerate soil-though perlite provides more aeration than vermiculite. Both perlite and vermiculite are highly porous, making them able to hold water in the soil so it’s available for your plants. However, vermiculite holds more moisture and keeps it available in the soil longer than perlite will.

[@mirchichamu]

@@SmallGardenQuest Thank you very much for your reply.

[@MsThedark12]

Thanks for the info We don't have vermiculite or peatmoss where I live, what can I replace them with?

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Vermiculate can be replaced with perlite Peatmoss can be replaced with coco coir If you dont have them too you can use just compost mixed with top soil half and half. It will be OK :)

[@rhettbutler2405]

Hi! I've recently discovered your videos and I really enjoy them. I'll probably have several questions going forward, but my first is this: Are pallets safe for planter construction? My understanding is that they are greatly treated with chemicals to avoid breakdown. Wouldn't that lead to contaminates in the soil and plants? Thanks!

[@SharonLynnWilliams]

how do you handle crop rotation with trellises in place?

[@wafaahegazi5514]

The first video in you tube has more information..

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Which video? Mine or some other 🤔📹😊

[@davidschmidt270]

Can I ask you something friend.... why did you line your raised garden bed with plastic ?

[@SmallGardenQuest]

I didn't line them with plastic but I use a fabric row cover that is usually used to cover plants before winter. I use it to prevent spilling of the soil from the holes :)
