Vertical Gardening: Installing The Lower Support Wire

You said you get way more production out of the mittleider garden than the
back to eden. Did you fertilize the Back to Eden garden? In the movie
Paul is putting down composted chicken manure and garden scraps down before
putting down another layer of wood chips. I am curious because I want to
have a productive garden without having to buy nutrients for it. (on the
fence between these two methods)?
Does the soil mix work on fruit trees??
They support a plastic cover in the winter to create a greenhouse and
garden fabric the rest of the year to protect the plants from wind and
heat.
the way paul raises his garden all the plants get maximum nutrition from
the wood chips that turn into mulch, obviously you have to add in layers
every year or two but I am surprised to hear that you have a BTE garden and
it does not produce much for you, you must have missed something. I will
check your video thanks.
Thank you for posting. I don’t know what kind of treated lumber you bought
but the lumber we have here and all over the U.S. is treated with copper.
If that isn’t want you got you might ask them for copper treated lumber. It
is great.
What crap, which toxins? Please be specific. Because the industry stopped
using “crap” and toxins 12 years ago. Treated wood is perfectly safe for
gardens. It is treated with copper, which is a trace element which the
plants need.If you have current information to the contrary please reply.
copper r u nuts….no they treat with highly toxic toxins…i built a peir
and everyday i seen a sheen over the water i felt the wood it was slimy and
soft plus they 10 year old fence i took up there was nothing below ground
area…the none treated wood was still ok…
I water for one minute each day. Better than me coming as a consultant get
Jim Kennard to come and put on a seminar in your area. Then you’ll have
plenty of personal time and consultation. You can reach jim at

what is the purpose of the loops in the twine over by your sugar snap
peas?? just curious.. and thank you for all your videos
I found a wood forest products processor in my area for the sawdust and I
bought the sand where they make and mix soils.
Where did you find your sand and sawdust in such large quantities?? Great
video!
I’d had this concern as well, as I’m considering building beds this spring.
Do you know how to confirm what they use to pressure treat the wood? It’d
be cheaper if I could use the Treated wood for sure.
Darn.. I wanted to do the Back to Eden and could never find woodchips.. and
now the Mettlieder is a no to.. I just am to far in the sticks! Thanks
Great video! I’m going to attempt “vertical” gardening this year in hopes
of increasing our yield. We did bush beans last year and they didn’t put
out as much as I had hoped. Of course, the drought didn’t help any! 🙂
With this method you will easily triple your production by growing
vertically. Best of success to you.
Very nice!! So anxious to get out there – although we have snow right now!
Your channel is a great source for information – always inspiring. 🙂
I realize I may be several months ahead of those in colder regions. I hope
these videos help you prepare and anticipate what to do and expect when the
weather warms up where you are. Best of luck in your gardening.
Thank you for commenting. I have a BTE garden for two years. You are right
about not needing to water. Unfortunately it doesn’t produce much because
the plants are starving for nutrients. Please watch my “Important Plant
Nutrition for Organic Vegetable Gardens” for side by side comparison. It
will blow your mind.
My husband is a soils scientist and has been fighting that battle for so
long. I’m glad to see someone else who recognizes that treated wood is safe
and comes with the added bonus of copper.
Abby, you can use this method in the earth without sawdust beds, in fact,
it is usually used in just dirt. Research the mitt lieder method.
you don’t need irrigation, watch backtoedenfilm com, it will blow your mind.
