Thanks Gary for all the content. I didn’t mind the shoe talk, it’s not an infomercial at all. The shoes are related to gardening, it makes sense. We all have bills to pay I like that you have one or two sponsors that are related to gardening. Never really push brands or labels on us, but if it something you believe in you tell us. I appreciate the info and recommendations. If only the Mucks had half sizes 😩.
I appreciate that. I only promote products I use and like but I was experimenting with the ad placement. Ill be doing 30-45 seconds in one spot. Thanks Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com

I hope you get well soon. Gardens do really help for therapy. I had Covid in Dec. What really helped me was taking Vit C every 30 minutes or so. You can't overdose on it as it will get rid of extra. Try whole food, egg drop soup if you like that. My other go to when I'm sick is elderberry syrup, zinc, Vit D & magnesium. An old remedy is cutting a onion & leaving it next to wherever yr sleeping, esp at night.

I used top soil to fill up my back porch bed. I added soaked alfalfa pellets broken down and added composted manures. I expected to find my plants yellowing but they never did. They grew and have been doing well for months now. I've harvested my kale and collards multiple times.

It wasn't the squirrels it was the rain at the critical time it needed to pollinate. We got pounded nonstop for 2 weeks. Planted again And we got another round. I'm not experienced enough to know how to prevent the rain from washing all the pollen away . Someone said cut the tassels off with the pollen and after it stops raining for a week go pollinate the ears. I don't know.

Love this timely video. I am in zone 7B (NC). Quick question, I just got new beds with high quality compost mixed in n, is it still a good idea to water with fish emulsion and how often do you water your fall veggies with fish emulsion?
I like the fish emulsion just 1x at least. For a well composted bed that should work. You don't have to but it is good to get leaf growth going.

Gary, I'm hoping that you can answer a question for me. I took the advice you gave me a month or so ago about planting a garden in grow bags around my rv. Anyway, I bought some Roma tomatoes at the store a week ago. Decided to try and save the seeds. The flesh didn't taste too great. Now I'm wondering if I dried these seeds, planted them and let them grow, is there a chance that the tomatoes could taste better that the ones I got the seeds from, or am I wasting my time? I'd really like to go to your store and get some heirloom seeds, but I only have a small area and I think you probably sell packages with 10 or more varieties. I really enjoy your videos. You give great advice and seem really down to earth. I bough some 5 gal buckets and hope to use them for a fall garden. I would also like to find some 5 gal. grow bags that aren't too expensive. Thanks again.
Your videos always seem to come out when my mind is focused on the topic. I was just outside thinking I need to clean out my beds and add soil. I was wondering what in the world I could do that is inexpensive. Awesome! Where are you located (State)?
I use old goat bedding after they have used it. I know the seed has been eaten and they have added nitrogen to it with their manure. I put it in the bottoms of my beds and top it with soil.
Goat manure is really good. Get your fall garden supplies! Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I think my best garden ever was in the sandy soil of Glen Burnie in the 90s. Grew some amazing arugula in Takoma Park too.

I ordered my fall seeds from you today. I was wanting San Marsano tomato seeds, are you going to be offering those? I have Ferry Morse seeds but they didn't do well at all. I can't wait to see my fall seeds start germinating. I'm going to try the zucchini again. Hopefully there won't be any squash bugs or vine borers. Fingers crossed.

Thankyou for demonstrating 'straw' as mulch over sown seeds I need to use this going forward. Unfortunately I had already used bagged garden mulch & concerned it would suppress sown seeds as well as weeds, used it anyway because I was concerned about solarization. My zuc's and cuc's direct sown still thankfully came up despite bagged garden mulch. I seem to be having difficulty finding 'straw' in suburbia containing no unwanted 'tack', a trip to the country may be required.

GREAT video thanQ! I've switched to it a while ago...major improvement & lots of money saved👍👍👍U said Top Soil is garbage...but that's NOT true! Here's what I've been reading: Topsoil is the most fertile and most valuable portion of soil, according to a joint topsoil report from the Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District in Grove City, Ohio, and the National Resource Conservation Service. Also said: Naturally occurring topsoil consists of differing soil aggregates--conglomerates of sand, clay, organic matter and other soil components🌱🌱🌱
No no top soil, in your real soil on your land is awesome. The BAGGED Top Soil is not that. They call it Top Soil for filling holes and such.

Do peas bolt? 🤔 I planted some green giant snow peas a couple weeks ago bc they grow 8 feet and take a wee bit longer. Are doing grest about 1.5 feet tall already but now we've had a week of very high hest and humidity. The growth tip looks a little bulky and like yellow buds. Never seen that before on peas. IF SO.... should I replant? Will it effect the plant or peas going forward after the heat wave?
The don't. But if you leave pods on their they mature to form seed and can slow down growth. But mostly the heat comes and beats them up the growing in the spring. If you are growing into the fall, the heat can slow flower production and pods. I would replant some. Get your fall garden supplies!

You produce really informative, high quality videos and that's the only reason I put up with the product endorsements. I am a YT premium subscriber and I pay for it because I don't wan't to deal with ads. If you are that desperate for the revenue then monetize your vids. Forcing paying members to put up with the ads is wrong.
I disagree as I think that is on YT. I have sponsorships hashtags in the description. Since you are paying, maybe YT should highlight them in some way.

I live in NC and you're correct. We had freezing temps mid May this year. Then the monsoon followed by the drought. I want to plant some things and did plant bush beans , more cucumber and squash. All doing great. Have beds cleaned out for my collards , carrots , later mustard and turnip greens etc. But the temps are brutal now. 97 to 99 the next ten days with 70 plus humidity. All my plants are shaded and I'm waiting eventhough here you never know it's always a gamble. Now I know the argument about climate change but in my 70 years I could always predict when to plant. Now every year is a crap shoot.

I can help you on this subject sir. The wood industry doesn't use most of the nasty chemicals that they used to use. That said I don't use pressure treated wood on my raised beds and here's why. Think of the wood you use as future materials for your garden bed. As it breaks down it becomes wonderful soil additives that you know where it came from. As to what verities of wood that might be best determined by where you live and lumber prices. For example, I live in the Great Pacific Northwest, Washington state to be exact. So here I prefer cedar but lordy is cedar expensive, even when lumber prices are not ridiculously high so instead I normally buy Douglas Fir. It won't last as long as cedar but I normally get at least 10 to 12 years out of it and that's pretty good. Hope that helps. Have a great day. 🌤🌱
@@victorbenner539 the reason i asked this question is because I have some treated wood that is in good shape but I’m not using right now and wanted to build some raised beds with it
It is pressure treated and VIctor below has good input. It is treat with copper now and I have now worries about it. Get your fall garden supplies! Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you for verifying that I spoke well on the subject of wood for raised beds. I very much enjoyed the compliment. Have a great day. 👍
Good Morning! New to gardening and appreciate all the wonderful information you share each day. When filling the beds how do you determine the soil depth that plants need? Im located in sandy Florida so the soil beneath the cardboard will be horrible once the cardboard breaks down. I have had great success using five gallon buckets but would really like to set up a few beds like you have in this video.
So that is a good question. In general they all need good surface soil and soil to grow into but the leafy greens tend to grow in the top 4-6 inches verses deep roots. I would probably go with 'horrible" as making raised beds that have 12 inch sides. That would help most plants and with time the sand below should get better. Get your fall garden supplies! Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN would the same apply to peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, or should those beds be deeper? As for your seed shop I ordered a few weeks ago and have started seeds that were 100% on germination.😊 It’s so rewarding, I look forward to new growth everyday.
Hello Lisa! I made a raised garden bed over a gravel walkway last summer and that cardboard became an issue for the roots of my plants. If your garden soil isn’t rich in nutrients your plants will want to dig deeper down to look for nutrients. And if they’re met with cardboard then it will stunt the growth of your plants and won’t produce anything for you and all of your time and energy will have been for nothing really. If you only have 1-2 garden beds pay for the good organic garden soil. I won’t advise anyone to use the cheap stuff. I made that mistake last summer. It really delayed my growing season. Over this next year try to compost and by next Spring you can use the soil from your compost pile/bin. Also since you get more rain than average and a lot of the nutrients can escape from your compost pile, make a worm bin and keep it in a dry place that averages 60-65 degrees year round... you’ll have saved yourself the need for expensive fertilizers and what not. Best of Luck to you Lisa!
The bagged names are just misleading. I have videos on it if you seach bagged soil. GARDEN SOIl in the bags doesnt have as much peat moss and more peat moss makes potting mix. They charge you more for that. GS would harm earth beds. Get your fall garden supplies!

Hi Gary, I have raised beds but have to top off each bed with new dirt each season. Do you think it’s best to line the bottoms of each bed with landscape fabric (not plastic) to avoid the settling and break down of dirt each season?
I would use fabric. I would just add compost or leaves or manure or other soil to the top. You want worms to crawl and they will make the whole space better each year Get your fall garden supplies!

I bought some "Garden Safe Slug & Snail Bait", OMRI approved, and it did the job. I was so excited to see all the volunteer sunflower plants, in particular one with multicolor. So I didn't plant any this spring. Slugs ate 90% of them! The slugs were gone within a few days of putting the bait out. Beer works for some slugs if you put the right kind of trap out where they can drown. I researched using copper. One lady recorded her experiment and found that it has to be 2" of copper to stop them. I had copper sheets, so I made 2 " bands around my seedlings. But I tell you, the slug bait works fast!

I hope you get well soon. Gardens do really help for therapy. I had Covid in Dec. What really helped me was taking Vit C every 30 minutes or so. You can't overdose on it as it will get rid of extra. Try whole food, egg drop soup if you like that. My other go to when I'm sick is elderberry syrup, zinc, Vit D & magnesium. An old remedy is cutting a onion & leaving it next to wherever yr sleeping, esp at night.

If you think the mucks are comfortable try some crocs. They are great and your feet won’t sweat and give you a fungus. Nice garden.
I used top soil to fill up my back porch bed. I added soaked alfalfa pellets broken down and added composted manures. I expected to find my plants yellowing but they never did. They grew and have been doing well for months now. I've harvested my kale and collards multiple times.

It wasn't the squirrels it was the rain at the critical time it needed to pollinate. We got pounded nonstop for 2 weeks. Planted again And we got another round. I'm not experienced enough to know how to prevent the rain from washing all the pollen away . Someone said cut the tassels off with the pollen and after it stops raining for a week go pollinate the ears. I don't know.
@@darrelldunman3627 sorry for that, but mine was eaten. I had corn and kernels, but something ate it all. My garden is fenced, so that’s why I say squirrels

Love this timely video. I am in zone 7B (NC). Quick question, I just got new beds with high quality compost mixed in n, is it still a good idea to water with fish emulsion and how often do you water your fall veggies with fish emulsion?
I like the fish emulsion just 1x at least. For a well composted bed that should work. You don't have to but it is good to get leaf growth going.

Gary, I'm hoping that you can answer a question for me. I took the advice you gave me a month or so ago about planting a garden in grow bags around my rv. Anyway, I bought some Roma tomatoes at the store a week ago. Decided to try and save the seeds. The flesh didn't taste too great. Now I'm wondering if I dried these seeds, planted them and let them grow, is there a chance that the tomatoes could taste better that the ones I got the seeds from, or am I wasting my time? I'd really like to go to your store and get some heirloom seeds, but I only have a small area and I think you probably sell packages with 10 or more varieties. I really enjoy your videos. You give great advice and seem really down to earth. I bough some 5 gal buckets and hope to use them for a fall garden. I would also like to find some 5 gal. grow bags that aren't too expensive. Thanks again.
Your videos always seem to come out when my mind is focused on the topic. I was just outside thinking I need to clean out my beds and add soil. I was wondering what in the world I could do that is inexpensive. Awesome! Where are you located (State)?
I use old goat bedding after they have used it. I know the seed has been eaten and they have added nitrogen to it with their manure. I put it in the bottoms of my beds and top it with soil.
I am in Maryland.
Goat manure is really good.

Thankyou for demonstrating 'straw' as mulch over sown seeds I need to use this going forward. Unfortunately I had already used bagged garden mulch & concerned it would suppress sown seeds as well as weeds, used it anyway because I was concerned about solarization. My zuc's and cuc's direct sown still thankfully came up despite bagged garden mulch. I seem to be having difficulty finding 'straw' in suburbia containing no unwanted 'tack', a trip to the country may be required.
I like the straw light dropped for the seeds. It does help and it is easy for them to get through

Morning. Thanks for all the info!!! Will have to try these. What if you don’t have aged straw. I have straw that is in our barn but not aged.
So it can be used. In the video description I talk about alternatives. The fall crops are growing more on the top several inches of the surface generally speaking. If you they plants struggle a big dose of fish emulsion will get them back on track. Come next spring the boxes are in great shape.

GREAT video thanQ! I've switched to it a while ago...major improvement & lots of money saved👍👍👍U said Top Soil is garbage...but that's NOT true! Here's what I've been reading: Topsoil is the most fertile and most valuable portion of soil, according to a joint topsoil report from the Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District in Grove City, Ohio, and the National Resource Conservation Service. Also said: Naturally occurring topsoil consists of differing soil aggregates--conglomerates of sand, clay, organic matter and other soil components🌱🌱🌱
Where was the top soil harvested? That is never listed on the bag.
No no top soil, in your real soil on your land is awesome. The BAGGED Top Soil is not that. They call it Top Soil for filling holes and such. It is not the fertile part of what you find in fields, bagged up for your use.

Where do you get the cardboard? Normally, I have it saved from amazon purchases, but don’t have any now and I’m ready to amend some beds and plant. Thanks for the video as it was timely.
So many places will give it to you like liquor stores, bike shops. grocery stores but this I bought form Home Depot. They were packing boxes like 1.49 each for the thin medium.

My neighbors are constantly putting boxes out for recycling.
Would you do something easy to save on potting soil for containers??
I sort of have that as I make mine. 50% earth from your yard and 50% peat moss is a great container mix base. Look up container mixes. But that is the base and you can amend it as you wish. Potting mix is a lot of peat.

What’s your thought of using cut grass instead of straw?
I use it. A thin layer so it dries will work and the seedling can push through it easily.

How do you anticipate 1st day of frost? When checking frost dates for Maryland I initially found Oct. 15 was the date, then Oct. 22nd, and now ita projected to be Nov. 15th.
Oh just go with an average. Middle of October.

Where are you located? I live in California foothills at 2000’. We have a long growing season April ~ October/November. How do I find out about first frost?
I am in Maryland. Your fall season is different. You can go to weather.com and look at old maps or type in LAST frost date (Town, State) and that usually works. You might not really have one to worry about.

Maybe I missed it, but did you dig these beds down several inches first to make these changes, or are they new? If new, what will you do next year?
Nope, I just dropped them on the ground that were mostly paths or part of the asparagus bed. Dropped the weeds and cardboard and filled. The three 8 inch beds are all brand new. Some compost will be thrown on top of them come winter.

Do peas bolt? 🤔 I planted some green giant snow peas a couple weeks ago bc they grow 8 feet and take a wee bit longer. Are doing grest about 1.5 feet tall already but now we've had a week of very high hest and humidity. The growth tip looks a little bulky and like yellow buds. Never seen that before on peas. IF SO.... should I replant? Will it effect the plant or peas going forward after the heat wave?
The don't. But if you leave pods on their they mature to form seed and can slow down growth. But mostly the heat comes and beats them up the growing in the spring. If you are growing into the fall, the heat can slow flower production and pods. I would replant some.

You produce really informative, high quality videos and that's the only reason I put up with the product endorsements. I am a YT premium subscriber and I pay for it because I don't wan't to deal with ads. If you are that desperate for the revenue then monetize your vids. Forcing paying members to put up with the ads is wrong.
I disagree as I think that is on YT. I have sponsorships hashtags in the description. Since you are paying, maybe YT should highlight them in some way. A side from that I will have made over 125 videos this year and maybe 8 will have sponsorships. That is a pretty good ratio. But I don't try an keep the content useful.

I'm worried I've started my fall seeds too early and my second summer wave too late. Lol, we'll see what happens. Last year was my first fall/winter garden and this NC weather is wacky, so it's anyone's guess what will happen 🤷🏽♀️.
I think it will work out. And its good to take notes. I am starting more fall crops this week. Thanks as always

I live in NC and you're correct. We had freezing temps mid May this year. Then the monsoon followed by the drought. I want to plant some things and did plant bush beans , more cucumber and squash. All doing great. Have beds cleaned out for my collards , carrots , later mustard and turnip greens etc. But the temps are brutal now. 97 to 99 the next ten days with 70 plus humidity. All my plants are shaded and I'm waiting eventhough here you never know it's always a gamble. Now I know the argument about climate change but in my 70 years I could always predict when to plant. Now every year is a crap shoot.
@@darrelldunman3627 Ok, so I'm glad to know it's not just me. I've only lived here for 3 years and I was thinking it was just a wacky growing area. It's always a learning process whenever we move (retired Air Force family). But this has been the most challenging. And we plan on being here for the long haul. Any advice you have on the growing area would be great!
Gary, do you have any recommendations for nut grass in your beds? I have no idea where it came from but I was pulling it all summer and it has literally taken over several of my beds. Is there any way for me to get it out without chemicals or digging each nut out?
Beans in October zone 9. Is this a good idea? Will frost in late November kill them?
Frost will damage them. You might be out of time for beans

Is the wood you use for the beds pressure treated? If not could you use pressure treated wood?
I can help you on this subject sir. The wood industry doesn't use most of the nasty chemicals that they used to use. That said I don't use pressure treated wood on my raised beds and here's why. Think of the wood you use as future materials for your garden bed. As it breaks down it becomes wonderful soil additives that you know where it came from. As to what verities of wood that might be best determined by where you live and lumber prices. For example, I live in the Great Pacific Northwest, Washington state to be exact. So here I prefer cedar but lordy is cedar expensive, even when lumber prices are not ridiculously high so instead I normally buy Douglas Fir. It won't last as long as cedar but I normally get at least 10 to 12 years out of it and that's pretty good. Hope that helps. Have a great day. 🌤🌱
@@victorbenner539 the reason i asked this question is because I have some treated wood that is in good shape but I’m not using right now and wanted to build some raised beds with it
It is pressure treated and VIctor below has good input. It is treat with copper now and I have now worries about it.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you for verifying that I spoke well on the subject of wood for raised beds. I very much enjoyed the compliment. Have a great day. 👍
Good Morning! New to gardening and appreciate all the wonderful information you share each day. When filling the beds how do you determine the soil depth that plants need? Im located in sandy Florida so the soil beneath the cardboard will be horrible once the cardboard breaks down. I have had great success using five gallon buckets but would really like to set up a few beds like you have in this video.
So that is a good question. In general they all need good surface soil and soil to grow into but the leafy greens tend to grow in the top 4-6 inches verses deep roots. I would probably go with 'horrible" as making raised beds that have 12 inch sides. That would help most plants and with time the sand below should get better.
Get your fall garden supplies! Please visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden shop for seeds, seed starting supplies, neem oil, TRG merchandise and more at www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN would the same apply to peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, or should those beds be deeper? As for your seed shop I ordered a few weeks ago and have started seeds that were 100% on germination.😊 It’s so rewarding, I look forward to new growth everyday.
Hello Lisa! I made a raised garden bed over a gravel walkway last summer and that cardboard became an issue for the roots of my plants. If your garden soil isn’t rich in nutrients your plants will want to dig deeper down to look for nutrients. And if they’re met with cardboard then it will stunt the growth of your plants and won’t produce anything for you and all of your time and energy will have been for nothing really. If you only have 1-2 garden beds pay for the good organic garden soil. I won’t advise anyone to use the cheap stuff. I made that mistake last summer. It really delayed my growing season. Over this next year try to compost and by next Spring you can use the soil from your compost pile/bin. Also since you get more rain than average and a lot of the nutrients can escape from your compost pile, make a worm bin and keep it in a dry place that averages 60-65 degrees year round... you’ll have saved yourself the need for expensive fertilizers and what not. Best of Luck to you Lisa!
I have a question about garden soil versus potting soil. I thought garden soil was supposed to be mixed. Will garden soil destroy the plants?
The bagged names are just misleading. I have videos on it if you seach bagged soil. GARDEN SOIl in the bags doesnt have as much peat moss and more peat moss makes potting mix. They charge you more for that. GS would harm earth beds.

Hi Gary, I have raised beds but have to top off each bed with new dirt each season. Do you think it’s best to line the bottoms of each bed with landscape fabric (not plastic) to avoid the settling and break down of dirt each season?
How will the worms get through if you line it with material? I just add more mushroom compost mixed with raised bed soil.
I would use fabric. I would just add compost or leaves or manure or other soil to the top. You want worms to crawl and they will make the whole space better each year

Slugs rule my garden! Help! They completely ate 2 squash plants. So sad. Advice?
Pour them a plate of beer
I bought some "Garden Safe Slug & Snail Bait", OMRI approved, and it did the job. I was so excited to see all the volunteer sunflower plants, in particular one with multicolor. So I didn't plant any this spring. Slugs ate 90% of them! The slugs were gone within a few days of putting the bait out.
Beer works for some slugs if you put the right kind of trap out where they can drown. I researched using copper. One lady recorded her experiment and found that it has to be 2" of copper to stop them. I had copper sheets, so I made 2 " bands around my seedlings. But I tell you, the slug bait works fast!
Iron phosphate or sulfur baited slug baits.

Loose soil. If the straw stays really matted it can be an issue but when you are dropping it and loosening it, plenty of oxygen mixes in there.

There is cheap in price and terrible content in the bags. Top Soil is inexpensive and lacks in content but you can add it. Kellogs, I don't know if it was me, is more expensive and a really bad woody mix in my opinion.
