Step 1; have fantastic perfectly balanced soil Step 2; dont f up said soil
I'm stuck at step 1 with soil that hardly anything grows in with a pH 7.6-7.9 and Ca+ ions 3500-4000ppm. The local flora just deals with it, but doesnt try to change it.
I'm looking into a native that can handle my regions extreme heat and drought, like southern dewberry which can provide protection and helps beneficial insects like bees and inter gives me berries that can also feed native birds
What is your suggestion or anyone else's on leafminers? I can't plant any kind of edible leafy greens like lettuce for example, because the leaf miners just burrow through all my leaves and leave little tunnels in all of them, making them inedible. 😢
Something ive done in the past which has helped is make a few little rock caves with a flat basking rock and water next to it, in Australia we have lizards called blue tongues and eastern water skinks and they eat slugs, some catapillars and snails so having a couple of them living in your garden helps keep them down and also little birds boxes because when you live near the bush in most of Australia we have heaps of little finches and they help with little bugs and beetles and even more importantly if they are constantly flying over your garden to go to their bird box they will be dropping phosphorus rich poo to help the garden. Im sure in most of america would have similar species to do the same job. Something to think about for whoever reads this 🙂
I love your vids man, ive had gardens for years and ive learnt new things already on only seeing a handful of your videos, you teach stuff not a lot of people know and its done in such an easy to watch and understand way. Keep up the good work and big love from New South Wales Australia!

Ty. Loved your video on Strawberries as well
cool shirt
That's a little too much, too fast for me. I love your diagrams, though! Please, more diagrams!
✌️😎👍
Very impressive.
Tysm this helps
Have that exact Cramps shirt
One question. How do you get kale to taste good.
People should be knowledgeable about comfrey before planting.
My secret to no work gardening, is the neighbors- 'Won't you be mah neighbor? ' 😛
Saving this for when I have the opportunity!
Using plants to make stuff makes sense to use plants to do stuff
Nice shirt!
Oo! Sunchoke can work for ya? I love it!
i love this idea, let the plants do the work 🙂
Well said sir
Subbed. I'm on the same page as this guy. Sustainable and most of all, LAZY!!!! No shame!!!
Plant pumpkins if you want to get rid of grass. They grow big fat leaves that shade out the ground.
I have some Egyptian walking onions which look just like yours.
Love your info cannot stand that awful repetitive music behind it

Favorite fortress plants?
Cool
This is how it’s done

Mono cropping is dead, long live Omni crops
Is there a good resource to consult for new gardeners? To know what to plant in specific areas? I love this video! But I have no idea what I'm doing.
Beautiful
On the farm we used clovers to supply nitrogen to our grain crops.
I do the same thing with our decorative garden by planting Japanese spurge to fill in gaps and crowd out weeds.
All this sounds pretty cool, but lets rewind back to the beginning for a second, you put kale in your garden? on purpose?
What about native plants species? Do you do anything with them?
