I've built sheds in time past but Ryan's designs are superb [Check Details Here⇒>tinyurl.com/yyexvhoq?preview ]. His work are second to none. I've never seen such before. The sheds are looking very nice and the building plan instructions are so detailed and very well simplified. This is cool!
I wish when people ask, "How much walkway is wide enough?" you tell them to allow enough room to pass a wheelchair through easily without scraping the wheels. People never plan ahead to allow for accidents or even for aging. Accidents happen fast and can change a life over night. For example, breaking a leg, or a slipped back disk, both or either can occur any time in any season and then that entire season is lost; if not your lifelong ability to use all that perfect home vista of landscaped food going to rot !!!
A thorough episode on irrigation would be helpful. To those of us who are not handy, putting in a system seems a daunting task. Thanks for so much practical info.
I love all of you videos, and I really appreciate how hard you work on the GYG channel and your juicy channel! I do have to say tho, I love her! She's the best guest I have seen! She's so down to earth! No offense to your previous guests, but she's just great. Keep it up John!
John, please make a follow up video about her experience and her garden. Thanks.
john love the show youre an inspiration.
I asked my dad what soil was best for growing things and he answered "cow poop" hehe
ty
This hasn't helped me in the slightest….. Too much talk, less action
too much talk
John ur the best! Love the vids
question, the previous owner of my house was environmentally ignorant and put fertilizers in her soil. I found out by digging up the white pellets that are found in miracle grow. Is the soil contaminated?(house was bought in 2009)
can you use something more organic other then cardboard to build raised beds?
Back to Eden is great if you don't want to plant the first year, but you're right, the raised beds are expensive.I'm busy filling mine now with compost,vermiculite and peat. The vermiculite is 27 bucks for 2 cubic feet, so, yes, the first year isn't going to be cheap.
Holy Tomatoes!!
570 video's?? i got some catching up to do 😉
Those who want an attractive yard that produces food may want to read 'Edible Landscaping' by Rosalind Creasy. So many ornamental plants are edible & nearly all edible plants are beautiful. This approach will prevent neighbor objections or issues with ordinances that prohibit conventional vegetable gardens in some areas. (The plastic that disintegrated into her soil left chemical residues of some kind; a shame.)
Soil is a combination of decaying & decayed organic matter AND mineral/rock particles. The organic component of soil varies greatly. In most of Florida, for example, the native soil is mostly sand w/very low levels of organic matter. In other areas the soil is high in clay. Most soils are somewhat to extremely deficient in organic matter/carbon – and will greatly benefit from the addition of compost.
thank you, john.
