She looks great for 73!!
Strange that they don't eat it. However I had the same problem with my Grandmother. I think she felt it was dirty because I make my own compost and she saw me harvest the food so, she know's it came from my garden. Im not sure because I did not push the issue however its my need to understand that brought me to this conclusion.
great tips thanks
Hello from NZ John! What an excellent clip, and an absolutely inspirational garden! Cecilia, you have a beautiful garden. Thanks for the great description of the hungry bin, we're very glad to hear that you're envious of it! Cheers, Ben.
Thank you for this video, John! Growing food on an apartment patio has it's own challenges.
Love her ❤️ thank you John for sharing your knowledge & experience with us!
Can't wait to start our garden this year. Will be shopping for fruits and veggies in my backyard. Learn a lot from you. Thanks
I love that lady :)
Aww! I love Cecilia! Was so fun to meet her at WFF Hawaii last year. She's definitely an inspiration!
55 or older…Senior? egads, I'm 58, wellllll, that explains alot!!!
haha, well, AARP does have the best deal on car insurance hands down, joined that at 50… ok, I'll get back to garden talk, lol
the problem I have when I give too much food to the wormies, maybe Not a problem :), but they then reproduce like crazy, extra food means extra sex! haha, so instead of a 'worm bin', she would have a 'sex bin', ar ar ar. I don't really make my worms 'work' to eat it, I do blend and dump, so I get more worm poop faster for my raised bins
Oh boy she's hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
can any one help me out? I mixed some soil up and added blood, bone meal, rock dust, worm castings, cotton meal, alfalfa meal add lime to bring ph up got it a 6.7ph, three weeks later I checked the ph and it drop down to 5.5.. I adjusted it again to about 6.5 and it drop bellow 6 about two week after that. adjusted it again and it's seams ok now. why is it so hard to get the ph to stabilize.. thanks
Cecelia is awesome and such an inspiration! Nice video!
Love the City Picker planters they are perfect for small spaces. I put them on top of crates to raise them up off the ground for easy reach
If you live in LA there is no way you can use copper in your garden! Those metal scrapers will smell that a mile away. They also love cutting wires from old TVs that are put on the curb. Thus, wasting the whole TV because most people don't know how to change the cord. lol
Backasswords lol
Have you Grown Turmeric before? How did that work out for you? And on the container composter Couldn't you just take the container before you put in any compost, and cut the front and back panels out of the container, then replace it with Screen, Nylon Screen and then put your start up of compost in the container? Wouldn't that work for getting more oxygen into the compost?
