My daughter has a guavatree. Can she still prune now? Nov 2024 and if so can she prune harsh. She is in Hartenbos Mosselbay SA

Great video...appreciate the presentation of the argument. Well received. Great information. 🙂

all my gem squash had been stung😪 Thanks for the detailed advise. why not start with the stocking from the beginning?

Does it work on cutworms or army worms and can I apply on grass?

Thank you for the video. Great info

I have many amranth plants any one need then rply

Sensational video. Thank you so much from Australia. 🦘🙏🌾

There are primocane fruiting blackberries. Arkansas has breed a bunch of different varieties. I have prime ark freedom. You can cut them all down in the winter and get a large fall crop. Or you can get two harvests one early spring then in late summer early fall.

I like how you not just showing how to do it, but also explaining WHY. Great video!

what is the pot size?

Thank you 🙏🏻

What size pot for one plant? Do they have deep or shallow roots?

Love your presentation style! Thank you. I have a severely neglected overgrown lemon tree planted on a grade that has leaned over due to its own weight. Creating a basin of sorts to help retain water is difficult owing to the grade. There are three equal-sized trunks emerging from the ground and each of those bifurcates about 1-2 feet up from the ground. I'm not sure if it's worth saving. Where do I start?

You have to take them out after every season? Or not?

Thanks so much was very helpful, I also live in Cape town, where can I kind a blueberry tree I love them

Thanks for the valuable advice. I am growing Lemon trees from seed from store bought lemons. Strangley from the same batch of lemon bought I two different varirty if lemon trees. One is a paler leaf colour with thirns starting to show and the other is much much darker. Not sure how well they will do with UK weather but now indoors for winter.

Is it normal to have young shoots that are not rounded? Are they called water sprouts and need to be removed? I notice that on the spots where I pruned, the shoots look like water sprouts or suckers.

Hey, South Carolina here. I have 4 beautiful peaches that are doing well. Its late october. The bottom 18 inches of leaves were eaten by deer unfortunately. Should i cut off those branches, knowing the majority of growth will now be 18 inches higher up? I would be cutting every branch to about thigh level. The trees average 72 inches tall and have been in the ground for approximately 8 months.. Tips?

Thank you for this very informative video. 😀

Really good vídeo!! Thank you.

I have just watched your video on cover crops. Very interesting and informative. I planted Vetch last year. And it came up again this year. I noticed it growing neatby where I. didn't plant it. Very sparsely. It has such beautiful flowers. The bees go crazy over the flowers. Still learning, so many things to help improve soil structure. Thank you Craig. 🌿💚🌿

thank u very much craig.u have been 0ne such inspiration for us fig tree growers.i had mine in big containers too.and because of notching ,we can safely and ideally manage to affect the growth of more branches in our trees the way that is going to be more viable and still productive as container growers of figs.ú

Do you sell Amaranth seeds?

When I kept chickens whenever I cleaned the chicken house I would throw the manure in a pile, let it sit for a few months then use it to side dress my plants. - After an exceptionally dry year my young turnips were looking mighty fine so I decided to boost them along with my chicken fertilizer. Next morning when I went out to look at my garden I discovered my turnips were gone. Because of the dry weather my manure hadn’t composted enough and was too hot. It had burnt my turnips to a crisp. Composting 101 😢😝

Execelente tierra

Thank You Craig for sharing the two ways of checking manures. I bought some sheep manure from a lady. When I asked her if she sprays any kind of fertilizers or herbersides etc. She said never has. She uses the manures from her animals in her vegetable garden etc. I bought lettuce, coriander, Spinach, radish and strawberries from her. They were YUMMY! Especially the Strawberries. Our garden is still to be established. I have mostly Nasturtiums, Dill, Borage, Marigolds etc planted. I just planted some Black Eyed beans for the first time because I saw them on the catalogue of the Nursery we ordered from. I think they also go by the name of Cow Peas. I tried to grow them several times, but they didn't germinate. Well once these beans go to seed. I will have viable seeds for next time. I believe in supporting local farmers and business people. Our daughter, our nextdoor neighbours also bought sheep manure from the same lady. I organised an order, to make it worth a trip for her. Our daughter filled some 10 litre buckets (food safe)1/2 way with rain water. Added the sheep manure 1/4 full. Covered them with lids and she left them to stand for about 3 weeks. She said the manure broke down very well. I also did the same. Waiting for 3 weeks to pass. Yes I have seen a few videos saying don't use manures, especially in America. Grazon is the worst of them and has wiped out well established gardens. So I guess it has scared them. So they go to the other extreme. Give manures a bad name. Manures have been used for thousands of years. It was only in the 1950s after the second world war that they started to use these chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Love all your videos as they are well thought out and go right to the point. 🌿💚🌿

I planted a 40 inch circle of red amaranth on Aug. 1st. then transferred the small plants. I got about 70 plants that made nice big heads . Which I removed and dried. The secondary heads are coming on now this 22 day of October. Plant it early, plant it late. I put nice leaves in the freezer like spinach. The red ones are so beautiful. You could probably grow them in pots for sale!

Thank you so much for this informational video. Amaranth has been growing like crazy everywhere I've lived. I recently learned that it can be eaten. I want to back some bread. and now I can use it in so many thongs. Again this a fantastic video Happy Growing

Oh wow. This is really good info. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that unless you are growing a market garden or plan on preserving your harvest, don’t plant more than you can use. That way it’s easier to protect individual fruit and trees. Something I’ve always wondered about is that for many years my family raised chickens and in the winter they were allowed to run free. Seems to me that we had less insect damage on fruit and nut trees back then. Maybe the chickens were eating the larvae of many of these destructive insects? Maybe?

Damn mousebirds got every single fruit on my trees... 😢 so no fruit this year, will go get some bags for sure.

Im not seeing any large organza bags big enough to cover a tree. They’re all small ones.

I cannot grow any stone fruit here... MUMMY ROT

Have you ever used organza bags or tree covers to protect your fruit? Has it worked for you 🌻 👉 Please consider buying me a coffee to help fund future videos- www.buymeacoffee.com/mysustainabilityjourney OR 👉 Please consider supporting my channel by becoming a member - www.youtube.com/@MySustainabilityJourney/join

Hello Craig, our daughter bought me a stack of big organza bags just this last week. I already had some small sizes. I use the smaller ones for collecting onion 🧅 seeds. I found that the wild cucumber grew bigger and I had to carefully take it off. A bit difficult when the "Garka" wild cucumber has thorn-like pricks. James Prigioni also uses some clay-like paint to protect his fruit. He slso uses it to protect Zucchini etc. (Surround Kaelin Clay) I think you can buy this product in America. Thank You for making this video. I shall be sharing it of course. 💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚

thank you I have tree in pot since 3.3/24 had 6 fruit one it and one still on never ripen 10/19/24 I live in zone 9 what is time line on the fruit to set and ripen

This looks great! Where can I get this pattern of fabric in the UK? Anyone know? Many thanks!

Do you have any suggestions on how to keep mole rats out of the garden? I'm up the West Coast and they're a real nuisance here and very destructive, biting off plants. I'm busy putting a border of chicken wire along the fence surrounding the garden, but already I've seen one climbing over the chicken wire.

Hello Sir, do we need to prune the tall going trees as well...? (the ones we plant around the fence); or is it like they generally don't go here and there but straight and we allow them to grow own their own just like that naturally...?

With medium size trees (say 15ft X 15ft) and a bad outbreak--picking leaves is not a viable option, U could spend 4 hrs on a solitary tree and I have half a dozen. My peaches were 80% defoliated last season contributing to a poor harvest and it seemed to hit all at once. Appreciate your work and info here.

May I share my two cents on the issue. The reason is fungus of course, but the trigger is the rain. If your tree is constantly watered by the rain, the fungus will be activated and no effective method works to stop them. I have moved all my peach trees into the greenhouse this year, and guess what, not one single leave curled, none. I recall that all the peach growing regions I visited are not subject to constant spring rain, but winter snow. Those regions are ideal to grow peaches. If you live in a place where spring is the raining season, well, good luck for that.

Simple facts please. Too much verbal. Looking elsewhere. Thank you for your attempt

Craig are you still using the Bokashi and the soil factory bag? 💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚

Its Fri 11/10/2024 Craig I have just watched this video you made 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing your ways of making kitchen scraps into compost. I too discovered we have Soldier Flies. I have some twenty litre buckets filled with coffee grounds, I experimented by making holes on the bottom of the buckets I didn't put any worms in. They were there for quite a few months. I checked the bucket the other day, to my delight I discovered lava of the Soldier Flies and earthworms. And I saw some newly hatches Soldier Flies. I shall be sharing this video with gardening family, neighbours and friends too. 🪱💚🫛🪱💚🫛🪱💚🫛🪱💚

Thanks once again Craig for a awesome video. We are going to relocate in the beginning of next year either to Sedgefield or Knysna and then start my vegetable garden.

What size of organza bag did you use?

Thanks. We have this problem in the SE US. It’s early Fall here. Forewarned is forearmed.

You definitely are not in Southeast Texas , as soon as I get one ripe fig the birds eat it first , every single time !

Oh dear. It’s in the middle of the night in Melbourne Australia and I saw your video. Almost want to dash out to the garden and get rid off those curl leaves now. Will definitely do that tomorrow. Thanks for the timely video. BTW, the fruit on your tree looks bigger than what I have here right now. Well my tree is only in year two.
