You both have a wonderful way of sharing your knowledge with others. I'm really grateful for your channel, and I'm glad you're transitioning into pursuing this on a bigger scale to continue to teach people.
I mean it looks like you're doing fine, but in my case, I've ALWAYS had super clay soil and it takes about 50% of the volume of clay worth of sand to get the soil to a point where anything really wants to grow.
Gotta get that loam!
So far the best raised bed I have for root vegetables is 50% black dirt (very little clay) and 25%/25% horse manure and sand.
Our house is on about an acre of land and the house that was here before actually burned down. I’ve lived here about 8 years and have picked up so much glass but there are still glass shards everywhere when you start moving soil around. It’s crazy.
I took in a seminar with the cooperative extension in my area and the facilitator said that PH, when it's proper at the right level for the vegetable the heavy metals will not get up take into its cells
Hey where can I get some of that heirloom purple black corn in the white corn that you guys have?. I'm using electroculture in all of my Gardens you guys really need to apply that s*** to your gardening. I promise you you'll get 8 to 10 more times the yield than what you get now. And if you go to these patches that you're used to foraging and leave antennas at these patches when you go back to forage there's going to be three to five times more for you to forwards from and still leave some behind to regenerate and for others to pull as well.. I started from one heirloom basil plant that came from a family member overseas they brought it with them as a Seedling inside some toilet paper on the airplane. I got a growing and right now I have 42 plants that came from the original basil. People all over the place are going nuts because it's the best basil they've ever used cooked with or slept with under their pillow they do that with bay leaf too…❤😂😂😂 love you guys keep coming with the content I have some of my own heirloom peaches and cream corn that's one of the originals before they started genetically modifying it. I'd be willing to trade some it gives high yields 5 to 6 ears of corn per stalk when grown in grps of 3
I would rent a rototiller as well, I've recently found a raised bed friendly tiller, and mix that compost into the existing soil to let the plants infiltrate the earth farther. Also, I've been a landscaper my whole life and I now wear gloves pretty much always PS: live seeing a broad-fork in action!!

How do I find a place to send the soil to be tested?
I love the “don’t do this bare handed”…”even though I’m doing this bare handed” 😂 You two are so inspiring!

Hi, thanks for sharing. I got some great ideas.
If you live near a military base, test your soil for PFAS as well.
We love watching your content. I gotta make a broad fork asap.
Much of the lead in soil came from lead added to gasoline.
Love your videos ❤❤❤
Love you guys!!

Even with new compost I've learned to wear gloves cause there seems to ALWAYS be glass in there!
Have you received a result with high levels of lead? And if so, what did you do about it?

Where is it?
The best content out there… keep it up! This is the revolution: small, digestible pieces that teach us so much
That is the suburbs! The city means you have a balcony or a window ledge kr a roof if you're lucky. That is a yard😊
Were you saving seeds of those corns and how true to seed have they sprouted?
