Thanks Jake and Pam for another awesome video.
I live in the mountains of NorCal,and days are 80s to 90s, nights 40s to 50's in the summer,and really low humidity like Arizona. I have to grow in greenhouses to raise the humidity during the day and keep the soil warm at night, some stuff is outside, and I use shade clothe after transplanting for a few days, so they spend their energy stretching their feet and not on fighting transpiration during the hot days, then gradually remove it, but I have 80 foot pine trees all around my third acre, and my plants never get strong enough to endure the 3 hours of direct sun that they do get. It's really a job to grow without much sun, and mostly by heat and humidity, but not impossible. Every area has its own unique challenges. Great video, I just found your channel, and not disappointed. I usually watch John Koeler,from growing your own greens, but haven't watched in awhile, but now that the snow is melting, I'm getting ready to start my plants inside. I love watching your yard take form, I'll have to find a more recent video, but I am trying to watch the transformation of your property,so beautiful, you've done an amazing job. Stay Free! Grow your own food people, be self reliant, times are getting tough, learn how to garden everyone, and this channel is awesome!
How many square feet do you have in total? I have about 200sq ft in NYC and I'm trying to make the most of my space! Definitely will be using coconut coir and azomite this season.
jake I live In San Jose California and from experience I cannot kill parsley it grows from the cement cracks I feel sorry no medium no water and comes back every year if you let it seed it re seeds itself. love your garden.
thanks Jake for the video . l like all of the information you have given. I have a question? Did you make your fish pond ? or did you have someone do it for you? Maybe you could do a video on it and how it is set in your yard?
thanks pam!
Thanks Pam!!
Great video, thank you! We are thinking of moving and I noticed that one of houses that we looked at have raised beds made of concrete. Does it make difference whether your planting beds are wood or concrete. Which would you prefer?
How do you water your raised bed garden? Do you use a dripper or hand water?
peat moss is a renewable resource , it the processes of harvesting the older dead moss from beneath the surface of the living peat bog that is not renewable ,,, basically strip mining moss that is not renewable , it can be harvested in a renewable way with out strip mining,,, just a lot more expensive processes and less volume for equal efforts used .
thanks pam
I want to work on a organic farm or go to vegan meet up groups
I'm curios… since you do keep your seeds, do you worry about cross pollination planting things like tomatillos and cucumbers together?
Safer to use lung protection when handling any sort of potting mix, because the lungs do not appreciate fungus growth….
Thank you Pam
seems like lot basil for one bed. unless mason jar lot salsa and tomato spegete sauce. it seems like never eat that much basil for two people ? i never seen mansion jar is that something do or just freeze everything?
