How is it that you don’t have your own TV show or KZbin Red show is beyond me! So informative and so capturing! Fantastic! Thank you!!!

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm glad you like it. I don't have the connections to get large exposure.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Hi Siloe, do you have an email address available for me to send you something? I was going to today but then I didn't see it in your About tab.

[@ronnihatcher295]

Old School Home & Garden with Sasha agree!

[@HuwRichards]

Siloe this is fantastic! The amount of time you put into these videos are so valued by all who watch. Always so colourful and inspiring and very informative, plus pea plants are awesome! I'm beginning to further understand the reasons for keeping soil covered whenever possible, and the closed system of dead plants feeding living plants creates such a simple outlook to how we should grow food and how you don't actually need much effort to do it :)

[@suburbanhomestead]

Huw. I really appreciate that! You have been making great videos as well. I enjoy watching. Keeping the soil covered seems to be really important, but I would say it is even more important outside of places like the United Kingdom, because there is a lot of gentle rain there and overcast skies. Plants seems to grow abundantly there naturally, even without mulch. Maybe that is why the English influence on gardening made us think bare soil is good. Also, if I'm not mistaken, English soil is more of a loam, and less like the clay/sand found elsewhere. Is that right? I think good loam regulates moisture better even without mulch.

[@veganchiefwarrior6444]

what do you guys think about removing the mulch in spring to let the soil warm up and leaving the mulch off through winter so the heat reflects back out of the soil to keep things a bit warmer? I presume if mulch is keeping the soil wet then that's bad since things don't grow unless the soil dries out, cheers

[@oliverknevitt3313]

Hi Siloe, I'm from the UK and agree with Huw that mulching has long been ignored in the UK, but actually, mulching benefits everybody, in every climate and every soil, including here! It's a matter of picking the right mulch for your climate. In the UK we have very diverse soils, in fact the most diverse in the world, because the geology is the most varied in the world. The climate also varies from wet wild and warm in the west to (relatively) drier and stable in the east (where Huw is in Wales, it is very wet, and many people do not tend to water plants even during summer, in fact, people tend to have more problems with too much rain, especially in winter). But, everyone (at least the younger generation) are waking up to the benefits of mulching, not just in the drier eastern areas or on unimproved soils, because there are so many other benefits than less water loss, even on a good loam. Regularly mulched, healthy organic rich soil drains water better, throws up less weeds, anchors plants better; basically its a more stable environment, less prone to boom and bust. The biggest problem we have due to our damp climate - and the reason why most people in the UK give up on mulching after trying it - is that any undecomposed mulch quickly becomes a thriving habitat for slugs, snails, woodlice etc that devour plants quickly. Which is why we should mulch with composted waste only to get the same benefits you get!

[@mysoutherngardeningjourney]

Siloe, if you ever write your gardening memoir, I will buy a copy! You're not only a great gardener, but a gifted writer as well.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks! My AP English teacher would be proud :-) One day I may want to write a book :-)

[@aubreyravenl]

This is the best gardening channel on youtube. So underrated though.

[@SaffronTrailKitchen]

'treat it as a factory and not a mine' this thought will stay with me a while! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@manifold.curiosity]

So the marauding groundhog is still at it... beautiful video Siloé!

[@suburbanhomestead]

yes, the whole family. Thanks Hamish, and I really miss your videos my friend!

[@rfsanchez7]

I have to say: SO relieved you’re back. Your channel is so lovely and I look forward to every upload. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@Alfamoto8]

After 5 years of gardening I also came to the conclusion that over-complicating gardening sucks. Time and money waste. BTW Thanks for the video! Excellent work!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Time is the best teacher. Thanks

[@gogogardener]

Perfect timing for me. While I'm letting my garden rest a year, the whole thing is vague to me. This morning, I cut dead plants at ground level in a planter, topped with our compost, a layer of coop cleanings, then another layer of compost for sanitation. What was I missing? You told me... some seeds to grow. I'll go toss some chicken forage mix there. In a few weeks, the underlying manures should be decayed and the forage growing.... and soon food for The Ladies of my garden. Very welcome patch for them in my desert garden! Thanks for the idea!

[@suburbanhomestead]

yes. that is perfect. always have something growing

[@danielrus7117]

Great!! "Soil is alive" is the most important statement here! Thank you! :)

[@suburbanhomestead]

It is! Thanks Daniel for watching!

[@becca4736]

Your videos show such an artistic flair. Beautiful and informative. Thank you.

[@arkadiuszpaul]

I just LOVE watching your videos :) and that's what I've been doing in my garden for several years now.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Awesome to hear that.

[@gineli1130]

Great video. Please don’t stop making high-quality masterpieces Siloe. We will watch all of your contents.

[@pascalxus]

I love this idea of chop and drop. I used to think it’s not viable strategy for large refuse because it’s too big. But, the key is to cut it up into tiny pieces. That way it’s easier to spread around the plants

[@A.I.-]

Spot on!!! I always have a plant in all of my bed throughout the whole year. In the beginning, I was afraid that I can't eat them all. Then I realized that anything I don't eat goes back as compost. And every plant (you plant) is a bioaccumulator of mass/nutrients/biology. You are basically growing your own compost, and in return without require external input. The other thing I'd like to add is for people to consider only harvesting 30-50% of the fruit, and the remaining should always goes back to the soil. Harvesting 100% is overtaxing the system. And in turn, you will have to work harder to replenish the soil. For every plant, you should have at least 2 sacrificial plants. Example: I will plant 3 peppers. I will only harvest the 1 pepper plant. The other 2 pepper plants are for chop&drop or compost. Or, if only 1 plant, will only harvest 30-50% and will drop/compost the remaining fruits. Nature is like 80/20 principle (or 66/33) >>> 33% for people consumption, 33% for animals, 33% for soil and microbes. That's how nature intended it to be. Yet due to our greediness, we over-tax the system by harvesting 100% and messing with the natural cycle. Think about it: If your input is 66% of rain/sun/ripped-dropped fruit and your output harvest is 33% >>> it is a sustainable cycle system. Because you are taking less than its Input. But if your output harvest is 100%, then your input will always have to be 100% or more in order to maintain and sustain. And this is where people looking for external resources such as neighbour's tree woodchips and other people's green wastes to put in their garden. We should be striving for our garden to be sustainable on it's own, without the help of external resources. I don't collect other people's green waste (because I don't need it). I actually provide my neighbour compost because I produce more. My garden is Producing rather than Consuming. I actually spend less time because I don't have to hunt down external resource to put into my garden. In the early days of tribesmen agriculture, they will split their harvest; 30-40% for their consumption and 60%-70% to their "GOD" (always more for their God). Example an apple tree only 30% are harvested, the remaining 70% fall onto the ground as an offering of thanks and grace. And it is the same with the root crops, at least 50% will go back returned to the ground as an offering of thanks/grace to their God.

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is very insightful. Maybe this should be my goal in the garden.

[@yaxinzhang9244]

I watch some videos multiple times because they're always informative and more importantly, it's such an enjoyment

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thank you.

[@gillenzfluff8380]

Mung beans are cheap for green manure I just sprouted some that were 6 or 7 years old using sourdough starter to boost germination and fight pathogens!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Awesome to know

[@rohinisrs]

I have some old beans. And sourdough starter :). Please tell me how to use the starter to help germination.

[@delduq]

I know this is about soil nutrition, and I haven't looked back through the comments, but did anyone mention this is absolutely the best garden outfit I have EVER seen! All I can think is why couldn't I have been like this guy when I was his age.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm having a bit of fun my friend. Dressing to become more of a character is never a bad thing when filming a video.

[@Liwayputi]

Excellent! Justin Rodes puts it this way, “Mother Nature is modest. She doesn’t like to be naked, she likes to keep covered. “

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is very eloquent.

[@nancysueleske7819]

Yes, I need to stop be so controlling in the garden. Weeds are protectors of the soil. Thanks, good video

[@suburbanhomestead]

They are. We need to listen to what the soil is saying.

[@vacantandstainedd]

I've learned so much about soil (and fixing it) from your videos!

[@NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

It's such an important part that a lot of people overlook. Where I live now in Northern Thailand, I occupy a property that has a lot of people working on the garden, and the one thing the Thais are constantly doing is tilling. It's going to take me some time to convince them otherwise, but my project is going to take place on a very small plot (where I am going to do an initial tilling, but only to amend the soil with Biochar). The soil here is a red clay (very mineral dense, but inaccessible to any plant life). Their garden here is wonderful, but the nutrient density is next to nothing. I have a BRIX reader that I plan to put to use here soon to show them in time, how the benefits of organic matter and other organic practices will benefit their food. There is a restaurant on my property and most their veg comes from this garden. Exciting things lay ahead!

[@suburbanhomestead]

I hope you are successful in changing their minds.

[@NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

suburban homestead Thank you, and thank you for your videos! I will keep you informed! :)

[@lillianelliott1868]

Northern Thai Garden Guy The people that have the restaurants have them give you the leftover greens that has no dressings and buried there in your garden it makes good mulch and the worm is love it

[@NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

Lillian Elliott They already do that, but that is still a pretty limited means of nutrient giveback. The Back to Eden method along with KNF inputs is what I am going to show them (in time).

[@trish3580]

What is back to eden and knf inputs?

[@PermacultureHomestead]

well done as always. so true to keep things growing. ive improved sandy soil in 4 years w/ this method

[@suburbanhomestead]

Your garden is a testament to plant abundance, Tory.

[@aliciav4352]

It definitely is.

[@digitalgord5694]

So glad your back on the air!

[@suburbanhomestead]

:-)

[@SimpleGardening]

Wow...these many days I was in a perception that gardening requires expensive soil mixes, funky fertilizers, heavy equipments, costly cages stylish blah blah....but I forgot how our ancestors use to grow food in a most healthy ways where natural symbiosis is maintained between plants and the nature. Truly I appreciate your work and the most i.e. I am impressed by the way you explain.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Nature is what we need. :-)

[@duckyluver12]

This is by far my favourite video that you have made. I learned so much and really enjoyed seeing your fall garden.

[@angelasheppard7197]

Wow...never thought about this idea. Makes sense.

[@lettysells]

The blue apron commercials are also a pleasure to watch

[@suburbanhomestead]

:-)

[@i-chiulucero9647]

Thank You so much. I will start growing. I was so worried plant the wrong plant so I leave the spot empty. I also really enjoy your channel. Thank you very much.

[@thehalfcockedhomestead3973]

I love your gardening videos. They're VERY well done and always give me nuggets to try. BTW, your commercial placement is perfect! Thank you for doing it right.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks Paul. I'm glad the commercial placement is not being too distracting. :-)

[@dramatriangle]

Watching your youtube videos calms me. I really enjoy focusing on nature & the gardening & cooking process. Last year I got into seed saving, which I also plan to do this year. I also planted peas early in Spring & thanks to this video recommendation, I will plan to plant them again in August!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Awesome. Happy gardening! I'm happy to be a place of respite here on youtube

[@lilmisspeace]

Thank you soooooo much for your vidoes! I have learned so much recently about gardening recently through KZbin, your channel included! Over winter, I left my gardenbeds untended and clover grow over it. Usually I pull it all up and through it in my green bin; not this year. This spring I learned that clover is a nitrogen fixer and that it's better that SOMETHING be growing in the garden, even weeds (pretty sure that one came from you), and that weeds pulled from the beds can be left on top of the ground to die and double as mulch! I put all of that into pracice this time around and so far so good! And the ground underneath is dark, almost black, and moist and rich with bugs; I can truly say I have SOIL this year, not increasingly depleted and compacting clay dirt like the lawn all around it! Again, thank you for sharing your journey, and especially conveying it as such! I'm learning and growing so much (definite double entrendre there about growning)

[@ja-uh9gz]

Very interesting. Sometimes, less is more? What occurs in Nature, with less intervention as possible, is what we should observe to see what really works in gardening. I read that tilling is disruptive in the bacterial system of soil, and it's best to just layer straw or plant material in layers...or compost.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Yes, excessive tilling is not helpful. chop and drop has proven to be adequate for me. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@annamcc314]

Your videos are so insightful and inspiring!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks!

[@mcrae000]

Very sound advice. I do something similar but I use hairy vetch. It's in the same family as peas but I seem to have better results

[@suburbanhomestead]

Yes. I have heard good things about it. Any legume is good.

[@stephkrunic3884]

Thank you for another wonderful contribution Siloe! We almost have our yard ready to become a garden. It feels like it has been a building site for so very long but that's beginning to change! To care for and enrich our soil we will plant broad beans to grow over the Australian winter. PS I'm so glad to see you producing new videos for us. Many thanks.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks. Yes planting crops to enrich soil and add biomass will create awesome soil.

[@suefernandes8582]

Hi Siloe, you covered such an important subject " SOIL" , many of us bother about things like high quality seed, compost and other garden stuff but often neglect the soul of a garden which is soil & its health, I know i might sound repetitive but your videos are of a different level all together ... btw i couldn't help admiring your vintage crockery at 0.07 :)) God bless n Regards Sue( India)☺

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks. Soil is central indeed. I appreciate the love thanks!

[@jenniferjones-ei8rg]

Agree, soil is key. Everything else pretty much follows on from this.

[@LiliansGardens]

great message.I love your kind of gardening.... tomatoes around the flowers. I ll try that ths summer.

[@veganchiefwarrior6444]

I have an experiment going this winter to see which will help my spring root rot situation best out of thick compost, thin compost with strawberrys, thin compost, and no compost, and also one spot I completely replaced the soil with sand cause the spot wouldn't dry out and was like jelly lol

[@suburbanhomestead]

Nutrition is key.

[@kahae9858]

Great video! It's amazing too, how many weeds are both edible and very good for you. I've also read that soil attracts the type of weeds that help to produce healthier topsoil in the longer term, another win win. For example hard-packed soil will attract weeds with long tap roots that help break up the soil, while soils that are deficient in a particular mineral will tend to attract weeds that help supply that particular mineral in the topsoil, sometimes by sending deep taproots down into the subsoil and then accumulating that mineral in the plant tissues which is then distributed to the upper layers of the soil when the plant dies . (Each plant type has a different profile when it comes to the substances they create or accumulate in their plant tissues.) Puts the term "living soil" in a different light. Nature is very elegant in its designs.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Very elegant indeed! And intelligent!

[@HansQuistorff]

Thank you for teaching that soil is alive and has to be fed. It takes both living and dead plants to feed the soil. If we only eat dead preserved food we get sick. If we add fresh green food we get well. The same with the soil it needs to have living roots in it to be well.

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is a great analogy. Thank you

[@LifeOnAYoYo]

[@Kowzorz]

You're the first other person I've seen to make the distinction between dirt and soil. Like I see people care about the things to make great soil, but I always felt weird for making the linguistic distinction between dirt and soil. Farmers aren't just farming plants. They're farming soil. Healthy abundant plants just kinda fall out of good soil.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Yes it is all about "soil" that is living

cheap fencing and feed the wild life trust me I have like 10 massive possums and used to not be able to even fence anything now I share food with them and makesure they all get something I'm abe to grow tomatoes with no fencing because the possums have higher standards, I'm blessed lol

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is great.

[@wipeoutxl21]

how many hours of direct light do you get in your garden? I see some tree's nearby so im curious what your getting in what looks like a productive garden!

[@suburbanhomestead]

I get at the most 5-6 hours (7 hours in summer) in the sunnier front garden because it is in a north slope of a valley and there are tall trees around as well as houses nearby that shade things for about half of the day. May backyard is very much shadier.

[@mehdiperedo2131]

what are those crawling out of the soil?? cuz it is very dry early in ths seasn and the worms are totally gone, there are just ths small cocrch lke insects

[@suburbanhomestead]

They are pill bugs. They feed on dead plant material.They are important in the breakdown of residue.

[@snowhero9]

i was expecting you to say nitrogen fixing peas

[@ShadowRayne16]

I just got a clearance bag of moss from home Depot and have never used it before to cover soil around plants and moisture retention. Anyone have any experience with that or advice?

[@suburbanhomestead]

I have not tried that. What type of moss is it?

[@mcrae000]

The thing to watch for is the acidity of your soil. Peat moss is high in acid and it can mess with some plants growth.

[@ethan.s7219]

Can you do the anitamie of a bulb ?

[@suburbanhomestead]

Anatomy of a bulb is interesting

Won't dead plants around bring you more pest and disease?

[@suburbanhomestead]

Not really. They can in certain cases, but usually they bring more biodiversity which brings fertility and protection
