What Type of Compost Are You Getting? // How Do You Plant So Close to Trees? // Recap 🌿

[@dorothyevans697]

We your audience/friends would very happily watch any indoor house videos because it’s Laura and Aaron and those sweet babies blessed abode. Who cares if it’s not garden related!! I love the inside videos just as much.

[@jgwood10]

There’s plenty on KZbin for house related videos. You’re not talking for me! I care if it’s not garden/plant related. That’s why I started watching GA years ago!

[@Sun-Soul]

I agree Dorothy! I mean, I do come here for garden videos, it's true - but if there is a video I'm not interested in, how hard is it to just NOT watch? Their non-garden related stuff is probably less than one percent, I mean, come on! I love my garden, but I love my home too, so I enjoy learning all kinds of things from GA. I like that Laura and Aaron talk about what they learn as they go through a process... it's super helpful no matter what the topic. Besides, she did say, they'd put it on the Garden Answer Highlights channel.

[@deezahm9143]

🎅🏻🤶🏻Yes! Indoor with Laura and Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha Grace - especially at Christmas time! 🎄

[@staceyallard2692]

Yes, you can definitely expand your channel a bit with your home improvements. It doesn’t have to be perfect videos Aaron… & Laura. I know how much care & time you put into your channel and your videos, do not think things must be ‘just so’ to give us a video. I learned that from you Laura…thru the years watching you garden. You’ve taught me the time is now and to be present. 🙂🪴♥️

[@joanneedwards5630]

I for one would absolutely love the home improvements. I watch this channel for the people, I’m not a gardener at all. I love house programs but don’t watch any on KZbin as they don’t hold my interest. Yet I’m not a natural gardener and am hooked on GA and highlights! Imagine how hooked I’d be if these lovely people were talking on a subject I’m more into! (I have gained garden confidence/interest through them though😇)

Don't feel bad Laura, I'm a 55 yr old Marine Corps Vet and those coming home military videos make me cry like a school girl. When I was in the Corps in the 80's, Ann and I were gone to California for a year then came home without telling anyone and surprised our mothers. It was very emotional and our Mom's are both gone now and Ann's Dad as well. We still have those memories though and maybe that is why it hits me so hard.

I know we only see what you show us, but I’m convinced that you guys are the sweetest family ever! For multiple generations!!! How could he miss! Love you all and your contribution to positivity! 💚😍🥰

Exactly. You two always talk to him, to your family members, and to each other so lovingly (at least on camera 😉), so that’s how he thinks humans act. If only there were true for everyone, this world would be a much nicer place.

[@robingrunzweig3940]

love the podcast!! hubby watched with me today.. i have to say: Aaron, i believe, has had a powerful influence on the man in my life (for over 36 years).. he's always been supportive of my gardening, but now he's more interested and actually listens to some of the things i've learned, esp if i preface with "well, Laura or Aaron says..."... and it's just fun to hear him talking to friends and saying stuff like, oh give it a hard prune, it'll grow back in a flash! so thank you both for that!!! and can you believe i choked up just watching the clips from that wedding??? egads, i'm such a softie, lol.... :)

Hi Laura, For a harvest/halloween hunt: if you save the plastic eggs from Easter, glue twine at the top of one side, it becomes an acorn, and you can do a harvest hunt. As the kids get older you can put a fine fluorescent bracelet (found in most party sections) in the egg/acorn and do an night halloween hunt.
