Good evening Hollis and Nancy...I reside in North Eastern New Brunswick in Canada...I would like to say thank you and GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. I so very much enjoy watching your videos on gardening...I began my container garden this year...and following your way made it alot more clear and understanding...Thank you
I’m in Virginia too! Love your videos, they have a been a huge help for me. God bless you ❤️
Me 3!
I lived in Iowa 19 years and first to garden that yard (probably) but out there I had top soil over 20" deep , Now in Ohio I garden here 3 years if I drive 3 rods in the yard 10" 1 will find a 3-6 " rock to much clay . I've carrier out est a 32 gal can of rocks each of the 3 years but now this year I am getting smaller stones so things are getting better,Lots of manure and compose.
Thanks beautiful soil Sir
🙏🏼💪👍🇺🇸 great looking soil. Can’t wait for my tiller.
Mr. Hollis, great videos always. 👍 I'm fairly new to gardening, I've been trying it for about 3 years now. However, I still fill I'm missing the most important parts of getting my soil prepared. This video answered a few things for me. Thanks again. ☺ I'm gonna try turnip greens, collards, and cabbage this time around. God bless you and your family. I will continue to observe your videos for guidance, and if it's okay I'd like to hit your page with a question or two from time to time. Thank you so much again. Godspeed...

Thank you so much for watching 👍

Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶
Blessings
There is nothing prettier than Virginia dirt! I still haven't got use to S.C. Red clay.

It took me a while to get it rich, lots of leaves turned in it for a few years.
my brother has the same problem and he called the city and that fall when the trucks went around sucking up everyone's leaves at the curb they dropped them off in his garden. Some were in plastic bags and you occasionally got a kids plastic arrow or flipflop or action hero but it was pretty clean god stuff and after it rotted that winter and he plowed it under real good and again in the spring he gave it a good deep plowing. It did wonders. But you need a mix of greens and browns for it to be the best for instance brown leaves and green grass clippings. Also make sure you are clear about what the agreement is. My brother was delivered about 1,000 hefty bags of leaves
I know soil every where is different but here in Kentucky i use 10-10-10 exactly like you do except i also add one large box of epsom salt every three years and natural lime. Our soil is black and rich but it still has plants with yellowish leaves and we would still get blossom end rot on our tomatoes.Its good rich dirt but its low in magnesium and calcium. Magnesium is required for the plant to absorb nutrients and epsom salt is all magnesium. Without it, a plant will be severely under-nurished even in the richest of soils. And blossom-end rot is from a lack of calcium which the natural lime takes care of. We used eggshells for the calcium at one point but animals attacked our garden trying to locate the egg smell even though they were finely ground. Everything from dogs, skunks, 'possums and racoons dug up everything looking for that smell. Im a younger guy in my 30s and my neighbor is in his 70s and we both have gardens and we both compete over everything from earliest tomato to largest vegetable and largest overall yield and general appearance of our gardens. We go to the hardware store and buy our seeds together every year so we know we grow the exact same things so if his corn is ten feet high and dark green and lush and huge ears and mine is scraggly and six feet tall then believe me I hear about it every day when we have our afternoon beer together sitting in the cool shady spot between our backyard gardens. Sitting there it is impossible to look at anything else but both gardens side-by-side and we sit there shit talking each others garden. We are very close friends but its just what we do. . Every year we beat each other on various things that one of us gets lucky with or pays special attention to better than the other guy. Like one year my broccoli grew almost 2-feet across! But overall its been even. Last year, as a prank, i tossed my hardware store seeds when i got home and got online and i ordered seeds from many different companies that specialized in selling seeds for contest growers. I ordered every giant there was. I ordered the Atlantic something or other pumpkin that gets over 2,000 pounds and Watermelon that grows alnost 300 pounds and bigger than two square bales of hay, carrots that when you hold them up high they go to your knee and weigh pounds and pounds each, green beans that are from Asia and look exctly like regular Kentucky beans except they grow three feet long without getting leathery, asian cucumbers that grow three feet long too and every giant you could think of...radishes the size of basketballs was another i remember distinctly and a 39 pound sweet potato and an ear of corn so big, kids practically confused it with their school bus! Let me tell you, even though they cost around ten bucks for four seeds, the money i spent was priceless. All summer long my neighbor would stare especially at the pumpkin and he kept asking me my advice and would i come over and tell him what he was doing wrong. Hahaha. I even told him that i was spraying all of my vegetables with manure mixed with water and he was spraying that all over his food all summer. As those vegetables grew out he never got suspicious because all of it looks like the ordinary vegetable but huge. Finally at the end of the summer I confessed. Word spread among the old men in the neighborhood gardening circles and I am famous now in my small town for the best and most elaborate prank. Everybody slaps me on my back and laugh and laugh and laugh and shake their heads.

Good evening Hollis and Nancy how often should i till my garden

+Kelela Russell
Thank you so much for watching!!! Our earth garden is 45' x 55' with a 24" Perimeter planting box
Amazimg! Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying your channel!

Welcome to the family 😍😍🐶
Hollis & Nancy, we are new subscribers from Virginia Beach, Va and we love your channel! What steps do you recommend for amending our clay soil? We want to start an in-ground fall garden and need some advice on where to begin. Do you recommend tilling or a no-till method? I was wondering how you started your in-ground garden when you lived in Newport News as far as preparing the ground. Thanks and have a blessed day!
I had clay there too. I deep tilled in cow manure once per year for three years. I deep tilled in a 10” layer of brown leaves each fall. I deep tilled in a huge amount of green vegetable material at least once per year usually in the fall. It took me about three years to get the soil where I wanted it
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead I appreciate it! Thank you!
I just "tilled" my 16x16' garden with a shovel and hoe. Took about 4 days off and on. I've got blisters on top of blisters...
Earplugs are worth the investment, sir.
What kind of small tiller do you use?
Hollis, this is my first earth garden. MFA gave me a bag of garden fertilizer that is 13-13-13. Is that going to cause problems for a vegetable garden? Do I need to just use that in my lawn? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated
Triple 13 is commonly used in gardening by many folks
Good afternoon hollis and Nancy question how often should one till
I only deep tilled once in the spring and once in the fall until my bed soil was established which took me 3 years. After that I didn’t deep till anymore. I only cultivate after that which is only 4 inches deep
The black soil i use is very sticky n i think it doesn't percolate water properly. it absorb water too much. should I mix some sand with it ?
+RAJENDRA MALKHARE
I would not add sand. I would add compost
Can you use a tiller to remove grass? I have grass that doesn't grow in the front and would like to plant vegetables/flowers there instead.
+Jaime Smith
I have deep tilled over grass before. It is a beast of a job but it can be done. You will need to till it in, wait two weeks and till it in again, wait two weeks and till it in again. It usually takes 3-6 times before you get it workable. After you have it where the tiller can walk through it easily, start adding in leaves, peat and Black Kow. Till all this in a couple of times and let it sit for a few weeks. It is now ready for planting
Thank you!
+Jaime Smith
👍
Hollis, after I deep tilled I'm getting a lot of my old plants growing up all throughout my garden,around 1000 seedlings. since it's almost late spring, should I till again or pull out?
+Todd Blessing
Deep till again. If you have a cultivator use it instead of deep tilling. If you let crops bolt to seed too long they will sow themselves and show up in the spring.
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead tyvm,

Hey hollis and Nancy what type of tiller are you using
Troy Built
I don't believe in NO Till at all. I remember as a child plowing all over our garden on the regular. nice video
👍
What tiller brand do you recommend for a 40x20 garden? I want to buy one but don’t want to spend a lot and go overboard
Troy Bilt is a very good deep tiller. For a small garden plot like your you could do everything you need to do with a cultivator. I use a HONDA. There is one on our Amazon Storefront on our channel. They are much cheaper than a deep tiller.
@@HollisNancysHomestead sounds good. I’ll follow it. But I do have a lot of grass that has grown over the garden since last year. Will the cultivator still do the trick?
No, you will need to remove the grass first. Then you can keep up with the weed control with the cultivator.
Till until the tines are buried
How do not have weeds?
Hand pull on the rows and cultivate between the rows
I used a tool rake/hoe, just wondering how yours had not even a sprout of weeds. 4x in summer
I stay on top of it
Growing a garden is a job in itself. I work 2nd shift but I spend a lot of time before I go to work and after I get home tending and baying my garden. When the plants break ground I really get into garden mode lol You have to get those weeds early and often or they will take over your garden fast!
Please do something to cutt the noice
LOL. Yes ma’am. We used to live 1/4 mile from I-64 in Virginia. Lots of road noise on our videos. We moved to Florida in November 2017 to a rural 15 acre homestead so our videos since moving here have cut the noise.
Tilling is actually really bad for the soil health. I don’t recommend unless completely necessary.
Tilling brings air back to the dirt
@@joebird1400 punch holes into the soils instead of tilling. Tilling actually is disrupting the soil food web. (Bacteria, fungi, etc) and actually causes hard pan in the soil over time. I recommend sheet mulching instead.
@@tyraeshields498 Does Hollis' soil and garden look like he has hard pan? Do his crops from his 'disrupted soil' look poor, weak or insufficient? Let me help, No they do not. H & N consistently produce awesome results.
@@shellysmith1037 do more research on tilling, my friend. I’m sure the reason his crops look healthy is because he has to supplement synthetic fertilizers.
Let me see if I can put you concerns to rest. I only deep tilled my garden soil for the first year to revive a soil that was basically dead. I deep tilled in organic compost and leaves. After the first year i layer on animal compost and I only cultivate 4” deep to incorporate the compost with the soil.
The black soil i use is very sticky n i think it doesn't percolate water properly. it absorb water too much. should I mix some sand with it ?
Sand and peat moss. You can even put grass clippings and mulched up leaves on top then till it in at the end or beginning of the season.
