Watch This Before Planting Peppers! World Record Gardener Shows How To Do It Right - Organically!

Dad is a multiple world record grower of organic tomatoes and eggplant. Watch as he explains how to grow peppers the right way! Successfully growing peppers is very simple if you follow the steps explained in this episode. This video is packed with valuable organic gardening knowledge and secrets! Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant's root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!

I've got a feeling this channel is going to really take off before long. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us!

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

That's the plan! Thanks for the kind words! Happy gardening!

I agree!!

I was just thinking the same thing as I clicked on this video not even a minute in. It’s refreshing to see content that has a genuine vibe. I appreciate you both sharing.

I was just thinking the same thing. This is one of the best homestead channels I’ve come across in years. You have no idea how much they have helped me so far this year. And I’ve been gardening since I was a young.. I’m really appreciating your knowledge.

[@chadboyles432]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and thanks for helping empty my wallet on Amazon. I think I'm definitely going to switch to the driptape this year over soaker hoses. Where do you source larger amounts of hose from and all the associated valves, tees, etc?

[@micheleangott3115]

Absolutely wonderful channel! Dad explains the process of indeterminate tomatoes so completely. I have had to follow multiple people to build my knowledge, but there are always gaps in their teaching. This video was very thorough and I find myself without questions. I especially loved the explanation of pruning and fertilizer use. I can't wait to watch your video on peppers! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing with us and may God bless you and your family with prosperity and peace for honoring Him.

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork I'm not sure if it's been addressed in a previous video, but have you ever experimented with biochar? God bless you and your family.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I've tried using biochar in the past and honestly I couldn't tell any difference in my results so I discontinued using, I wouldn't be surprised if it is helpful in poorer soils but mine certainly isn't poor, I have very biologically active soil and that's probably why I didn't notice any benefit. Have a blessed day!

[@danielvisan5172]

Very timely and beneficial information. We are in Portland and just about to plant our peppers. How long and wide are your beds? Do you use the entire five gal of soil amendments to each bed?

[@haleyelizabeth8378]

One of my gardens is on a property with horses. Would horse manure compost be an okay substitute for the cow compost? I'm also coastal and have been looking into composting the sargassum/seaweed that regularly washes ashore.

[@Gardenfrog]

I noticed Dan is quite tall and keeps his face away when he adds the dusty amendments. I’m thinking for the rest of us height challenged people would probably mask up. I don’t think inhaling the dust would be very good. I love your channel. Thanks for the tips on growing peppers. I like your trellis.

[@tassiegirl1991]

What a clever tiller. I found micro…here in Aus I am so excited I now have sourced all bar green sand does that have another name??

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I see your question Tassie Girl, but I'm going to have to get back to you on that. 😊

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I had to figure out that your typo "bar" meant "but" and then it made sense. 😊 Greensand is also called glauconitic greensand. That's all I could find as far as other names for greensand. Hope this helps! Happy gardening!

[@whitestone4401]

Planting out my peppers today, great timing. I’ve planted mine in pairs the last couple of years and have had great production. Curious if you do any additional fertilizer as they grow. Thank you. God bless you.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

No, everything is there for the whole season, I typically front load everything so I don't disturb the biology by adding amendments mid season. Blessings!

[@whitestone4401]

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you!

[@davealexander7515]

I have two rows of Yukon potatoes already growing and was wondering if I could plant a row of peppers and how far away from the potatoes should they be planted

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I'd plant peppers at least 3 feet away unless you have a way to keep your potatoes from falling over,peppers need a lot of sun and heat,I'm afraid the potatoes will block some of the sun and heat if they're very close together.

[@davealexander7515]

Thank you for the advice I have a spare 5 feet away from my potatoes in full sun where I can plant a 12 foot row once again thank you from NJ-

[@stacyclark5910]

Tilter? In Texas we say tiller…. Is it different?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Yes it's called a tilther not a tiller,a tilther only goes 1-1/2" deep so it doesn't disturb all of your soil biology!

[@stacyclark5910]

Thanks! Learn something new everyday!

[@eugenemartin5918]

Do yall save your own seeds and reuse them next season?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Yes as long as they are open pollinated otherwise they won't be the same as what produced them.

[@tommy1979ism]

Is your soil realy that bad, that you need so many amandmends?

[@corinne7126]

A soil test should be done on your soil first. You really donot need that many additives.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I've never done a soil test and I've grown more world record tomatoes and eggplant than anyone else has ever grown so I think that is proof of what I'm doing,I've learned in the 50+ yrs of growing how to read the plants health and adjust the amendments accordingly, I'm not trying to brag I'm just stating the facts. You certainly don't have to do what I'm doing and you can certainly grow nice tomatoes another way but I like to grow nutrient dense food knowing that it has all the minerals to keep us well,if your soil doesn't have all the minerals in it neither will your produce! It may seem like a lot of amendments but remember most of it is compost. Have a blessed day!

[@jesusisGod1434]

I love your videos but if I have to buy all those amendments it gets spendy. If you tally up all the amendments on your list in the description it’s way over $500 Maybe your idea of not expensive is $500 but for someone with not much of a budget that is a lot. If anyone wants to financially support my garden please send money. The Tilther alone is $600.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

That's why we are starting up an online store to sell amendments. We aim to provide better amendments at cheaper prices and in the quantity you need. Of course you can put less quantity on your beds than what we show and still get better results than nothing, that's for sure!

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Not sure how you came up with 500.00 for amendments, but I'll assure you that isn't correct! Most of what is put on is compost which cost 2.25 per cubic foot,the rest of the amendments cost about 5.00 so 7.25 to amend 120 square ft I believe is very reasonable. Thank you for watching and have a blessed day!
