Zone 3 June Harvest Leafy Greens, Chives, Rhubarb and Peppers
Just found my first small patch of Canadian velvet blueberry in my woods and took 1 plant to add to my garden. Have found lots of low bush but never velvet, so very excited
I got 3 different ones they all say 7 all the time
Apa cu cloramina este benefică la tomate?.
The content of tap water changes from place to place and administration to administration. And, with all the aerial spraying the content of air and rainwater changes too. There are genocidal maniacs at large.
Great video! Thank you!
Wood ash is simply burnt wood?
thanks! exactly what i was looking for
Hey friend are you going take any new videos
that is a nice looking watering can. link please!
but what kind of rock dust was it??
Hi for over half a century now I have let nettles and brambles grow wild around my beds and brassica tunnel I don't like getting stung so the same as them also I mulch with nettles and brambles all over its worked for me all these years happy gardening Richardx
Chicken shit!
Thank you for the video. I do have a Q. Why that big opening in the top of the barrel. What is the function of that big opening? Thanks
I was looking at what distance Mr. and Mrs. Honeyberry (5-10 feet tall) should be planted apart. I think I "found" the answer in your video - at 6 feet (1.83m) apart. But you planted them somewhat only ONE meter apart! (Unfortunately, there is no indication about this on the leaflet.)
A cheap drip system would prevent you from manually filling your water bucket and saving you a huge amount of time. There are great videos on RUclips explaining drip irrigation.
Then I should continue the lazy-easy method of normal composting of all organic materials in a moist pile on the ground. It is slow but natural.
This man deserves 1M subscribers, I feel like im in a safe space of RUclips. 😇
Have you ever used tea leave petioles left over from the process roasting of tea leave as a fertilizer?
This was exactly the video I needed! Thanks! I’ll hit that subscribe button
Great video, thank you fellow Albertan!
Oldie but a goodie! Wondering if after 8 years if these results still hold true.
Your scientific process is sound lines up with other tests for this however chlorine isn’t my concern heavy metals is as so many plants I consume are great at absorbing said contamination my water treatment plant is down river of a DuPont synthetic fiber plant that’s long been known for pollution
This guy looks like he knows pee.
" a jigsaw will do the job better, however mine was borrowed and has yet to be returned" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The most irrelevant statement in the video but it was funny AF !!!!
Thanks! Nice and clear - will try in my small garden.
LOVE this...thank you so much. Simple and yet you are sharing tried and true tips for us beginners. I appreciate this so much. :)
Thank you for your video. Where did you buy the large, green, metal watering can?
The way you mixed it takes the longest for your Char to be inoculated now if you’d charged it prior to just blending it . There’s a Guarantee your results would have been different.
Thank you! I should be able to do this in NL (zone 5b) for sure then
Sounds like a big win for gardeners that only use there compost on the garden.
Thank you for getting RIGHT TO THE POINT of the title of the video! You didn't talk about your dogs, the clouds in the sky, your kids, your wife, what you do for a living, the color of your eyes! Hallelujah!
Nothing is really free, even sun and 'free compost'. For the sun, you need to have access to a land. If in apartment, you might have access to a balcony, therefor, less "free sun" for you. For the "free compost", well, you still have to work for it (use your car, move the compost bin, have space to age the compost, taking care of it, watering, spread on vege, etc). Gardening is not a great ROI if you consider it like a job. But, as a hobby, it mysteriously turn the ROI the other way around! Organic/free is fun, but take way more time compare to chemical fertilizers. I use both, for different application. Sorry for this ambiguous comment!
Let me disagree: even if you have a microscope and a phD in microbiology, it's impossible to properly identify all the bacteria in your compost tea. You will need a DNA sequencer and expensive instruments.
As a rough estimation, a 3lbs (1.5kg) of soluble Miracle Grow (about 10$) is the equivalent of about 1500 pee. Sure, it's free, but you don't save much.
the passive broths (popular in biodynamics) require daily stir it ups for its short oxigenization instead of turning anaerobic.
i like to water special plants from my aquariums due to microbe rich water already fertilized
lacking essential factor for foliar fertilizers application: the ph of the broth/compost tea should not be over 6,5 due to hydrogencarbonate would block its absorption into the leaves; ph can be lowered by controlled vinagre application. sunshine also dries up moisture on te leaves fast, so applications should be given on cloudy days w/o rain or at dawn/dusk.
i suppose using EM would add the microbes needed for instant plant availability of organic components in & above the soil instead of waiting up to 2 years ?
in water deposit fed irrigation systems, (such as BLUMAT) the water temperature gets a problem in hot summer due to its lower O2 saturation values in higher temperatures as you can see from aquarium tables. water poor in oxygen takes O2 from the soil & roots worstening their conditions. i'll cover the deposits by ivy & blackberry plants etc. for shadowing them.
in summer, i programmed 5 starts for my drip irrigation system each day, so i assume, that watering frequency also affects soil's microbes due to less time for their recovering from 1 irrigation to the next...
so many interesting videos - so i subscribe for learning more !
bacteria can be added by stinging nettle (or other plants) broth watered in the soil or planting broad beans (they offer hide outs for microbes converting N from te air to N soil available. peas etc. have same effect.
Where do you tgink medications go otherwise, it WORSE if they go into water!
Wonderful bits of information...Enjoyed the video.
it's not like we are in Southern California... using rain barrels here just doesn't make financial sense, or does it? :)
How much did it cost to build and how much to maintain?
Did they grow? I've heard they are difficult to transplant
I know for a fact as a sandblaster using quartz sand as my blast media when I was sandblasting metal parts on a wooden pallet on the ground, Weeks Later the grass was greener in the area that I had sandblasted where the sand had pulverized to dust embedded itself in the ground!!!... I know this as a fact from my own experience so I believe more my experience then what might be fake media!... or inaccurate reporting I do not know which.
I know a gift when I hear and see one. Never stop sir.
I also i wanted to know about the compost but in easy way
