What Are Your Must-Have Garden Tools/Supplies? // Will Aaron Plant a Cover Crop on the New Property?

[@carolgilchrist188]

I vote YES! Let Laura just do her thing, I enjoy watching gardening ❤ with or without commentary 😊 I also love when Aaron do drone videos with beautiful relaxing music 😊

[@lauragarmon6969]

Aaron, I do enjoy the videos where Laura is puttering around without commentary occasionally. I’ve been watching this channel for almost four years and I get inspiration from watching Laura puttering as much as when she describes what she’s doing. Perhaps she could narrate over the video if she thinks an explanation is needed.

[@carollykins9475]

I like to hear her thought process as to why she does what she is doing too. But for sure would watch her video.

[@erynspeers]

@@Bamboo4U2 I know you're just a troll, but I had to address this comment. What in the world is wrong with you dude... Who HURT you?... I live in a shitty house with my partner and two roommates - I will NEVER have what she has, but even I can see that she works very hard and puts a lot of care and thought in to what she does. She is also extremely grateful for the success this channel has brought her. Everyone should be so lucky... but it's not her fault that so many are not. I am prone to resentment and jealousy as well, the world is a harsh place and it can often feel like you got the short end of the stick, but when you see two GOOD PEOPLE like Aaron and Laura and can't just be down to earth about the fact that even people who love their job sometimes want a break, or to find ways to make their jobs easier - that is just human nature, that is called innovation, and it's the reason we have half of the things we rely on every day now. There is nothing wrong with desiring convenience. The real problem lies with people who are greedy and unwell with hoarding disease, that think that working 80hr weeks is something to brag about. People who harbour scarcity mindset and believe that there isn't enough to go around. Employers that don't pay their employees a living wage, and don't think they should want time off or to have any time for their own wellness. Gets away with it... lmao Oh yes, because Laura - the woman who can't sit still, who needs to stay busy, who so obviously loves to work is sitting around scheming all day how to do nothing and get paid for it. Good grief. Please take care of yourself, have compassion for yourself, and know that it's OK to want to be paid well for a job that doesn't suck the life out of you. It's OK dude. I hope some day you find that for yourself. Good luck!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Your dad was so good in the Q&A! Your parents are such sweet people, you are blessed. THANK YOU for everything you & Aaron do for us! I watch every video and love them so much. I learn so much!

[@carlariedel8490]

I’m a retired kitchen designer and have done many library ladders in kitchens. The ladder rail is attached to a narrow fascia board installed between the upper and lower shelves. The ladder runs along the rail smoothly via small metal wheels attached to its legs. The best ladders detach and hang against a perpendicular wall out of the way when you don’t need them. Your local custom cabinetry shop can design and install exactly what you need!

[@carroldahl461]

Just do it!

[@cynthiag3065]

Thank you for sharing.😊

[@SK-rz6ej]

Maybe for the masses or those searching for a particular topic/issue, but for those of us that love GA and Laura, we’d love to just watch her do her thing.

[@Yayakoshii1990]

Yes! I would watch. I love putting on the Clean with Me videos and some of those folks don’t say anything. The quiet can be nice sometimes or relaxing music. Just like we love the videos of their garden and the pond.

[@ElaineBraun-k8k]

I completely agree! Aaron is wrong on this one! 😂

I would watch it but I would have all kinds of questions.

Same.

[@lauraduchek5080]

I have watched every video you have made. I remember binge watching when I was first introduced to your channel! I still go back and watch so.e of your videos on succulents and craft projects. Your channel has evolved and grown so much since the start! I can't wait for the next 10 years!

[@dignit1620]

I loved the interview with your Dad, he is genuinely authentic, which is refreshing! Some people need the honest truth, like the dead tree incident. Thanks for sharing your family with us!

[@lauragreen4899]

Laura, I appreciate that you don't sweat all the "stuff" like plastic cutting boards. Good for you. I love your relaxed attitude.

[@rebeccahenry6376]

Laura has her Mother's personality and her Father's looks - both are compliments!

[@cynthiaj4863]

Your mom is so lucky to have two daughters who are hard worker bees. Btw, Monica's hair style is FABULOUS! I REALLY like it on her! You have a beautiful family dynamic. May 2024 bring you all the love & success for years to come.

[@deniselambrecht2067]

So enjoyed your Q&A with you Dad. You can tell how he cherishes your Mom and the life they created together. So heartwarming ❤

[@Julie-m6j]

I would watch Laura doing anything, talking or not. Love your videos. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@mercedesgonzalez3499]

100% Aaron! It's the commentary and all the little tidbits of things that come up while you work and talk that I find so valuable!

[@jessicameyer3567]

Your Dad seems like such a great guy! You can tell he loves your mom and you kids so much. It was so sweet to “meet” him.

[@dianesfloralart]

Love to hear how "real" you guys are!! aka Aaron's comments on healthy vs sick plants that are chosen. Makes me laugh out loud that you are normal just like the rest of us! Love you and your entire family!

[@merwinbowen]

This was so enjoyable. Had me in stiches. You two were made for each other. You are so great together.💛💛💕💕

[@debrabray8855]

Aaron is such a great problem solver. I wouldn't be surprised if he ultimately invented something that sells like crazy.

[@janinemwillis]

Aaron’s so sassy! It’s adorable. We all know what houseplant he was talking about you gravitating toward.

[@pattidavis8043]

I can not believe how much I enjoy the recap. Thanks for doing these!

[@missthang4770]

I could watch Laura all day just doing anything around the kitchen, garden or the greenhouse. There's always a lot to learn from someone so steeped in, and passionate about, gardening. So by all means, if you don't have a specific topic in mind, just put up a video of you organizing the greenhouse, grooming houseplants, potting up seedlings. Anything! There's bound to be a nugget of gardening gold in there. Happy New Gardening Year everyone!

[@bettydillingham1498]

I just laughed out loud when Laura said at 30:46 mark “you can’t be a weak plant and live in my house”. Priceless! My gardening motto has always been I want only plants that will live despite me. Laura and Aaron are so much fun to watch. Thanks for the chuckle and all you do. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@patwebb6522]

thank you Laura, and Aaron for the Q +A love these, can't wait for the video of just You and Aaron with no plant talk lol that will be so interesting. LOL Loved the video with your dad and always love them with your sweet, sweet, mama Susan. Until next time God's blessings

[@lindahavron3479]

Laura, don’t ever let anyone make you upset because you used a plastic cutting board or whatever! Cooking is like gardening…you do what works for you! That’s why your videos are so enjoyable to watch. You are up front about what works or doesn’t work with plants, especially paying attention to our different planting zones, weather, temps and water quality. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family!

[@lindaga820]

I use plastic cutting boards too !

[@n.w.414]

She was talking about the little tiny paring knife she uses, not the plastic cutting board.

[@kimklicker1886]

Having a Christmas tree business for going on 75 years and making thousands of wreaths we just use regular rubbing alcohol. In a spray bottle to clean hands and Felcos and loppers. It does smart a little on any ouchies on your hands but the alcohol evaporates quickly and nothing else to wipe off. Thank you GA for all the wonderful inspiring videos over the years! Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!!❤🌲❤🌲❤🐈🐈🐈

[@GardenKath]

Yeah, it’s as simple as that. Hand sanitizer works too, because of the alcohol.

I would love to watch her puttering around, a slow, lifestyle video. Love the content and appreciate all the natural sounds that are left in the video.

[@jennaschaefer1390]

YES! I would watch garden puttering. Without a doubt. (You know there are people that even watch KZbinrs cleaning their houses right?) Lol. Also, I have been watching for years- and I may be more excited about the ideal of a full wall library style (With rolling ladder) shelf along the back of the studio than any other project idea you've ever mentioned. Do it!!!

[@rosemarythyme6351]

❤You guys work so hard at bringing us quality garden video, it's NOT unreasonable to take a week long break for Christmas. Remember the old saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder." I don't think you will lose viewership on either of your channels. By the way, I gathered evergreens from my property for a Christmas swag and to my surprise Dawn Dish Soap easily removed the sap residue from my hands. 🎄Merry Christmas, Aaron & Laura, and enjoy your time off with family and friends! 🎄

[@pammowry604]

Yes ! Take a week and enjoy your family and Christmas. You deserve it!

When are you going to do some more antique/ shopping vids with your mom and sister? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THOSE! Y’all are so funny together!

Laura and wanting the library ladder, was so funny. Aaron has a lot of good ideas, should make them come to life. People would buy them. Laura needs Jenny's (Creekside nursery)garden belt. It's amazing.

[@JulioWY]

Laura, use what ever you want in your kitchen, We all do, and there are much bigger things to worry about in life😊

Love you guys!!! You’re soooo real!!! Love the look you gave Aaron when he was kind of jabbing you about the house plants,…😆

[@NancyRenstrom]

I gather that you like rum cake. Years ago my employer gave me a gift basket from a local deli. One of the treats was a chocolate rum cake that my husband and I loved. After the holidays I went to this deli for another rum cake and was shocked at how expensive the small loaf cake was and I left without my treat. A few years later I was reading the food and cooking section of my local newspaper and found a rum cake recipe and my first thought was it can’t be that easy. I bake a dark chocolate cake in my bunt pan and when I take it out of the oven I let it cool for about 10 minutes then mix 1/2 cup light corn syrup and 1/2 cup light rum and pour over ver the warm cake. The cake does not get soggy! This works with different flavors of cake, although chocolate is my favorite. It works for scratch and boxed mixes. So simple.

[@CaseyDCreations]

Aaron - My husband was an electrical, hydraulic and an electrical-hydraulic engineer who worked in the plastics industry. Many years ago he brought home a gaylord full of plastic regrind. We grew hydroponic strawberries in the gaylord. We added nutrients in water we pumped in and out of the gaylord continuously for an hour each day, pumping it all out in the end into a tank. The tank was replenished as needed from evaporation. We had a very abundant crop of strawberries full of flavor. And to those who are going to comment about the health hazards of using plastic to grow food in, it was in the 60/70's and we did not know about the hazard to begin with, but the medium used was completely cleansed and sanitized prior to using it. I make sure of that.

[@maryt3793]

Yes, please talk about rerooting. Always such good gardening information, thank you.

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

I think the question about the new build property was the house with the berms around it that you did the beginning landscaping on. It’d be nice to see how it’s developed if possible.

Have you checked aquaponics? We had some folks in our area that grew some amazing plants, lots of types of lettuce and tomatoes, using aquaponics. They had a tank of fish, the water was circulated through the tubes (something like 4 inch PVC with holes in for the plants) and the fish poop in the water was fertilizer for the plants. The water circulated from the fish tank to the plants. It was an amazing symbiotic relationship!

For the flood-tray-project: you could just use a pump that fills the tray relatively quickly and have very small drainage holes- so it would fill up and then need some time to drain in which the plants could wick up the moisture they need (or rather the mediums in which they live could get saturated). Then you’d only need one timer.
