    I don't understand stand why people will come on here and make mean comments if you do something different that work for you then just leave that comments let us know what you do or get your own videos,I just started my garden this year for the first time. I had the best watermelon,and cantaloupe I have ever tasted.tomatoes,cucumbers cabbage,mint,parsley, strawberries and I was shock, I didn't use peat moss made my own compost. The only problem I had was with my cabbage the worms but I ready to try it again because of people like this lady video taped her ideal for me to try.

    Lay your bag flat into the bed. Take a utility knife and cut a big X in the bag then flip it over. Then dump the contents of the bag. Lot easier.

    After ptting the paper down to help prevent weed growth I would then lay down some hay and wet it pretty well then add your soil on top moistening the soil as you build it up layer by layer. This way you don't have to worry about that small amount of water evaporating or wicking away. The wet hay on the bottom would help keep moisture closer to the ground encouraging deeper root growth. Also, I would also lay down some thing like straw or wood chips on top after planting, to help keep the moisture in and then you won't have to water as much. In fact you will only have to water every couple weeks or so even here in SA. Other than that, really awesome video on how to get it done quick and easy.

  • @melissarmt7330
    @melissarmt7330 7 років тому +38

    I use coconut coir for moisture retention and peat moss to adjust my pH, like I'd use lime (to go the other way on the pH scale). I add rock dust from as many different sources as i can get and mushroom compost for vegetables. I also line my beds with cardboard instead of paper. Different way of doing things.

    That peat moss looks like it was in a compressed bale. I loosen it right in the bag by repeatedly stabbing it with a large knife and breaking up the clumps with my fingers. Then I can scoop up big double handfuls and toss it in the garden. Also a large garden fork makes it easyy to mix the amendments together.

  • @yellowbird5411
    @yellowbird5411 5 років тому

    I just devised and started a new way to garden that should eliminate or minimize normal problems people have with garden plots of any kind. But I will share it once my plants are producing well. Right now the seeds are just sprouting, so, I need to wait and see how my theories are going to play out, and see if unseen problems occur. But I wanted to say that one problem with gardening for many (me) is getting those monster bags safely home without ending up in the chiropractor's office. I managed two 20 lb bags, one of garden soil and one of manure with compost. I wanted to get peat moss too, but they only came in 40 lb bags, and they were too bulky to lift. I live alone, and am a female who has damaged my back years ago lifting a bag of rocks out of my trunk for the garden. It has left me with lifelong back problems. So one way to manage might be to get a strong person who works there to load stuff into your trunk or hatch and if there is no one to help you unload it, cut the bags open and transfer the contents into smaller bags you can carry easily to their destination. Or have a garden cart ready (that's what I did). I also found my shovel is really heavy. There are lightweight shovels and small shovels on the market made for smaller or "weaker" people, also shovels that have different shaped heads for getting into weird places. I found some for just over $11, and plan on ordering one. My shovel is so heavy I just started using my hands to spread the compost and mix everything. Figuring out easy ways to garden will encourage you to start a small patch. It shouldn't be the amount of work videos show you it is. This video was good and made it easy for anyone. But I also recommend using leaf/grass mulch once the plants are up, and that way you have constant compost being made right there.

    Really wish gardeners wouldn't recommend peat moss, it's not a sustainable product & is destructive to the environment where it's harvested. Also, if you're going to recommend pallet wood, please tell people that it has most probably been sprayed with chemicals that they won't like leeching into soil where they'll be growing food. Some are heat treated instead & you can sometimes tell by a code on it, but it's something that should definitely be researched. This stuff may seem picky, but most gardeners respect & care about the natural world & would like to know. They also often grow their own food so it won't be chemically laden, which they can get easier & cheaper at the store.

      There are two main things to look for on the stamp:
      The IPPC Logo: if you don't see it, don't use it! Even if a pallet may be perfectly safe without this logo, it could also mean that it was treated with chemicals!
      The treatment code : [HT] = Heat treatment / [MB] = Methyl Bromide / [DB] = Debarked / [KD] = Kiln Dried.

    • @wendyeames5758
      @wendyeames5758 7 років тому +2

      I'm not sure what you're saying, ben Dover. The chemical used to treat pallets is methyl bromide, I can't see how that's related to copper. If you look up the specs for it, it's toxic & carcinogenic. It's, of course, up to the individual to decide their own risk level. I did think the info I provided was pertinent to people who may be wanting to grow veg for a healthful food supply.

    I planning to do raised bed, but is it expensive in preparing than the harvest cost , finally investment to make veggies , cost of bed, dirt, fertilizer , water for the year , will make 1 pound tomato $200 , but it is good fun and exercise

      The costs go down.....the bed only needs to be made ONCE and filled with soil once.....so they are not recurring costs. As for fertilizer, once you get going and mulch heavily, that cost goes away.

      @@TheRipeTomatoFarms Right. The setting up is the costly part. Dirt/soil can be reused many times, and each time you replant, just dig a little fresh stuff in, maybe compost from your own yard.

      @@yellowbird5411 Exactly. My beds only get better every year because I mulch layers of organic matter every crop, and I'm constantly adding to the growing medium. So the first crop is the "worst crop", ha ha! And each one gets better and better!

      Its just that it makes it obvious she is very new to gardening. Unfortunately if you're going to make yourself public you should make sure you either have thick skin or you actually know what you're doing.

    UA-cam videos never get attacked by nature like I do. If I did what was done here, at the very first leaf, on the very first sprout, an army of rabbits, aphids, slugs, molds and caterpillars, would parachute into my backyard from jet planes.

    Stomp on the bag of peat moss before opening the bag, this will be easy to spread on your raise bad.

    How can I create fertile soil myself without buying mulch or fertilizer, and how can I tell when its good? Id actually like to do the old fashion hard work, getting the garden in shape from scratch. Not just buying everything I need in neat packages which makes it as easy as 123, where's the fun in that?

      Jesus Villegas You can use mulch as a top dressing so the sun doesn’t dry out the soil and to retain moisture
