Had enough after 2 minutes. Boring as hell.
Would love to know how u set up those trellis. Thank u!
They are just T posts with a few cattle panels and I secured them with some zip ties.. got everything from Tractor Supply. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
7b here as well, seven springs nc
@@ckfamilyhomestead Looking forward to the spring!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@thestupidgardener4642 me too , your welcome
Yeah the frost hit us in Indiana too. Most our plants and flowers were messed up from it.
Same here, in zone 8 Carolinas border area, we mulched heavy so some looks semi alive, but few more below freezing mornings are coming so we aren't expecting much to stay alive. Our rosemary, sages some other herbs and red giant mustards are still hardy though!
Have you had any issues keeping your compost tumbler in full sun? Some say it helps heat up the compost too much, some say it helps to speed up the composting. What is your opinion, please. Thank you.
Good Question!! I move it around if I think it is getting too hot in the sun. Keep it full also and well mixed. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I just bought this tumbler. The instructions say to not put it in direct sunlight. Have you had issues with that?
Impeach the big guy.
I have a couple questions. You mentioned that you added some more kitchen scraps before the grass in month 2...can we continue to do this or does this slow down the composting process? Do you ever throw away kitchen scraps because of the compost stage? Can you take only a little compost out at a time or do you need to remove when done and store in a bucket somewhere else?
You can keep adding as much as you want. It breaks down quickly.. I find if I don’t add greens it dries up quickly.. you can take out a little at a time and keep the process going. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Worm killer!
I think I’m the stupidest thornless blackberry bush gardner. I’ve followed all the rules the nursery gave me and used their nutrition and other products necessary. I’ve cut to the ground the stalk that had fruit and left the rest each time. I’ve tried cutting them to 16 inches and the next year they multiplied and grew 6 feet. But In 4 years all I’ve ever gotten was 12 berries. This year only one. I saw your site “The Stupid Gardner” and instantly thought “I finally found my people!” 😅 🌱
Nice show
Doesn't cardboard have chemicals in it?
No but glues or colorful dyes and glossy paper may
@@twilightgardenspresentatio6384 PLANTS have chemicals in them too!
I read that if bluebird houses are within 300’ the males will fight each other for territory.
You are correct.. I have spread the boxes out more.. they only nested in one box.. but in the I think they had a few sets of babies.. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Will it be safe from squirrels?
So far the squirrels have left them alone. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can you tell me how many yards of chips you have here? I have a load coming, but can’t imagine how far 20 yards will go!
I used to have my bluebird boxes on the fence (bluebirds wanted to nest on my fence in a statue I had so I got them legit bluebird boxes in a whim to help them out. Well.. I have cameras and at night a cat came and stared at the bluebird box. The next morning I moved it immediately away from the fence and so far it’s been easy breezy. Didn’t know cats can scale a fence of 6ft or so 😞. I moved away anything that was climbable and put the nests on my house instead. Against a very flat wall with no leverage. Or climbable surface.
I am going to set them up flat against my shed next year.. thanks for the tip!
-- Compost everything. Always put cardboard down and build sandy loamy soil on top of the cardboard.
The cardboard alone would have done the job.
The Bermuda Grass is aggressive.. Having a constant battle with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
shout out from White Creek NY .....AWESOME ADVICE! I love planting veggies....everyday I learn something new! HAPPY GARDENING !!!! :)
Keep planting and growing! Thanks!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
You know what I just preferred the wooden bins behind you because I’m not putting that together with all of those screws and it’s so small and I need the worms to be helping to break down so this is a no I’m only three years old so I don’t mind using a pitchfork
I had Bermuda roots as deep as I could dig in my flower bed. There is no controlling it really. Good weed fabric helps but isn't 100%.
I’m also starting a zucchini squash garden…good luck to us both! Thank you for your help and have a blessed summer 😊
The best to you and your Garden. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hey there neighbor (well, kinda) I’m in the Myrtle Beach area. I’m an even more stupid gardener than you are 😂😂😂…a beginner. Thank you for the informative video 😊

This is the first video I have seen of yours what is that knee pad brace your using. I assume it’s to cushion your knees and then help you get back up but what is it called
I don’t know the name of the knee pad . It was a gift. They are available on line. It works great,especially with the wood chip garden. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Does this work for roots in a planter box. I'm disabled and was given a planter box. I pulled out a dead huge bush. And I have all these roots at the bottom I can't pull up. I'm looking to see easier way. Do I do this. Or put plastic down and put my compost over it. Looking for easier solutions. Thanks
You can definitely use it in a planter box. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Where are you located? What state?
North Carolina..
Yo im near Gastonia. Nice garden and thats a nice fence ❤
Hey neighbor!! Looking forward to planting! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve been binge watching your videos the past few weeks. I appreciate the content, I hope to have a house with a yard someday. For now I’m in an apartment with a deck. Do you ever garden in containers?
I think as I get older I will cut back on the big garden and move to containers.. hope you keep gardening no matter where you are. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How long will the cardboard prevent weeds from growing? It seem like it would be only temporary remedy for weeds.
Probably a season or two. I would hope by then it would cut back the weed growth. The Bermuda Grass I have next to the garden is very aggressive.. it grows more on top of my wood chips.. frustrating!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
If the pallet wood has been treated I wouldn't use it, even the ashes.
If I see if it had been treated I usually throw them away.. thanks for the reminder! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I just joined!! God bless you too brother! 🙏 ✝️💜
Thank you! Have a great day! Thank you for watching and commenting!
How do you keep the rain out? Mine seems to get soaked after a rain storm.
I really have not had that issue either my Tumbler.. I will have to check it the next time we get a heavy rain. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I have read pigs will tear that Bermuda grass right out and rout it up. They will add manure too.
Thanks.. I don’t think my wife will let get pigs for the backyard. 😂😃
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
where can i find pine bark mulch? can i make it myself? or use pine needles, perhaps?
I buy it by the bag when it is on sale.. You can use pine needles also.. Any mulch is a plus for your plants..
Thanks for your channel and all of the information. I just planted my first knockout rose bush. I love gardening but avoided roses because my mother spent so much time with hers. They were beautiful, but I'm more a hit it and quit it gardener. A little gardening a few times a week is all I want. Your home looks beautiful.
The knockout roses are the easiest roses to grow.. my mom spent a lot of time on her roses also.. she was good at it.. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Hi there, I’ve had a compost Tumblr for two months now. Adding all of my kitchen scrap produce, coffee, grounds, eggshells, etc. And then adding “browns“ that I’ve seen suggestions of online. No bad smells, has plenty of moisture, some liquid drips out the bottom all the time. However, two months later, no heat? Any suggestions about that?
Once the weather warms up you will see the heat go way up.. keep feeding it and turning it.. thanks for watching and commenting!
Collect the liquid if you can. Some people call it compost tea and water plants with it.
dig a trench and put in a root barrier block. They use this for tree roots. Then, create a "DMZ" zone that the grass won't want to go on from above.. say, a foot wide stone path. The problem with the wood chip is that bermuda has more than one way to spread. the rhizomatic method means you need to stop the roots from invading or else, the moment it spreads to a nice area, it will pop up. Another way that maybe somebody can chime in on is introducing something that is desirable but equally aggressive that will deny the bermuda grass an opportunity to set up roots. Maybe strawberries? Or.. maybe a pH change? For example, planting acid loving plants that like a lower pH. Bermuda wouldn't find blueberry soil to be inviting. Honestly, I'd apply chemicals. They aren't all evil. If you engage in precision shots, you should have more control over the spread. Good luck.
Thank you for the advice.. I heard if you plant melons along the edges it will control the spread.. I will definitely look into your advice.. thanks for watching and commenting!!!
@@thestupidgardener4642not totally sure it was Bermuda last year, but we were having to search through 18+ inch deep grass to find our water melons, and that was in a bed that started out in the season as a tilled bed. Commercial fabric would have been the only thing to at least hold it back a while
I live in Charlotte and wish Bermuda grass was outlawed! As you said, it is so aggressive and the roots go so deep it seems impossible to get rid of. It has taken over my lawn and is a struggle to keep out of the garden and landscape beds.
It is very difficult to control. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Use tarps 👍
I am thinking I may cover it in 2025 when I plant and see how it goes.. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I have managed to eliminate burmuda in my garden beds area. Just repeat pulling and repeat applications of compost (on my beds) and woodchips (on my paths). However, in my fruit tree/orchard area outside of my garden beds, I have a large mat of burmuda and johnson grass. I will be using sillage tarps this year while I aquire more wood chips and will keep it covered to weaken the grass roots. I am thinking that a couple years of this method will almost entirely eliminate it. The biggest thing is cutting off it's access to light. That is why the mulch works. Also, I plan to grow some crops through the sillage tarps (Like winter squash) so that the soil has something growing in it, which should discourage the grass from wanting to grow even further since the soil likes something growing in it.
I think you are correct.. I don’t think I have gone thick enough with my wood chips. I am going to get some more in the next few weeks. Thank you for the great tips! I will put them into practice.. thanks for watching and commenting!!
I have been using wood chips 22 truck loads. And leaf's and pine needles. Collect bags of leaves from you neighbors or have them bring them to you. It makes fantastic mulch
I usually get about 30 bags of leaves from my son’s house.. great mulch and great to add into the compost in the summer time, Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bermuda and Bahaiah grass are tough in my garden too so I feel your aggravation. Take care and have a blessed week my friend.
It is aggravating.. but everything still grows. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Definitely look for these second hand, the plastic can degrade horribly even I just one season that people give these away. And it's too expensive to make new plastic cover for it. But if you know how to be handy you can make it work with a plastic sheeting.
We will see how it goes this summer. It will get a lot of morning sun. It may get to hot in the summer. We will see how we do after a year.. thanks for watching and commenting!
Quality Video! Thank you for sharing. I think I'm gonna get this one for my salt lake city yard. what do you think about heat matts for seeds?
I am thinking of getting some heat mats for seeds. This year I just wanted to track the temperature.. thanks for watching and commenting!! Stay tuned!
Nice greenhouse.
