Straw ahead of uncomposted wood chips. Wood chips will use up nitrogen to decompose. Make sure your compost is close to fully composted, it will use nitrogen to finish.
You can add perlite to your soil mix if you think its too dense.
Look up companion planting. Lots of veggies do great together or terrible
Awesome thank you!!! Still a ton to learn with the outdoor veg. Im great at micros but this outdoor stuff is a whole new world haha!! Thank you for the tips bro
Thanks for sharing your micro green knowledge Donny! Wishing you success brother 🙏🏻
thank you!!
The best moment of this video is the pick and eating of the single pea pod. Wonderful!
sooo gooood
I didnt catch what you said you were feeding them. If your not you might have too. Woodchips will suck nitrogen out of the soil to help them break down. And most of the time raised beds need micro nutients along side the macro nutrients. Boron especially. Get with a local lab and have them text the soil in your beds so you dont waste alot of time experimenting. A local university extension usually is a good place.
awesome thank you!!!
So, wood will scavenge nitrogen but so long as the wood isn't in the root zone it won't matter that much. However the reason that your seedlings stopped growing after transplant is because of transplant shock which is very normal because of the root disturbance. If you want to stop it then you can either soak your seedlings in a compost tea or extract or you can go to using soil blocks which will air prune the roots and make transplant shock lessen.
Add fertilizer pellets to the bed of struggling veggies and till them into the first 2 inches of soil and after a few waterings you should see them catch up to the other bed
awesome thanks!
What do you think my problem is with these beds!!! I'm thinking the soil doesn't have enough drainage, plus the wood chips creating a fungal-dominated environment rather than a bacterially-dominated environment which annuals prefer more.
let me know what YOU think!
Yeah, your leafy greens are suffering from a lack of nitrogen. They're super nitrogen hungry. I'm an aquaponics hobbyist, and I need a super overstocked tank of guppies to get like 3 lbs of lettuce to grow.
Edit: and to tie in what someone mentioned below me, if your wood chips are in a state of decomposition, that will tie up nitrogen too. But if it's just a topical application, it might actually be the drainage like you said :)
You can mix in Perlite, Vermiculite or Clay pebbles to had better drainage to your soil. They sell inexpensive soil tests so you can check PH of your soil. You toss some soil into vile, add water and solution. Colors indicate the ph of your soil. Buy some earth worm castings if you haven't. It's great for the soul. I mix some into the yard and anything you plant thrives.
awesome thank you!
The bed with the wood chips try putting your finger under 3 to 4 inches to check how wet the soil is because with wood chips acts like a sponge so a heavy water and then check again put finger under again expecially new wood chips can really drain moisture out of soil just keep moist raised beds heat up faster than normal ground beds
Those wood chips are binding up your nitrogen. They need to be decomposed. Use the for weed control in walkways if you do put them in your beds put a layer of compost 4:10 under and make sure they do not touch the steams of 😅your plants. Love watching your stuff.
yes im still learning the outdoor stuff haha thank you!!!
Transplant shock possibly for the growth slowing. Look for your county extension office or somewhere locally to test your soil. When Transplanting starts add some worm castings and a good organic fertilizer in the hole. They are pulling so many nutrients to thrive and they may just be running out at that stage. They should show some good growth in a couple of weeks.
awesome thank you!
Hello! Love your content! Searched your channel for info on the testing you did while starting your biz (how you went about offering samples and then how you transitioned the folks you offered free greens to into paying customers, but couldn't find it! If you have any vids on this and can point me in that direction, I'd appreciate it so much! Thanks!
lots of farmers markets!
Do you test your seeds in water, to see if they float or sink, B4 using them? And are you adding organic fertilizer, like worm castings every 2 weeks? Are you charting/ documenting what you grow and how it's doing ect... Yeah could easily be several reasons why they aren't doing as well as the other's.
seeds performed great, I think its needing more fertilizer
Try growing peas with your tomatoes I have personally done a test with tomatoes on their own and another bed with peas and tomatoes and found a big difference as the peas are nitrogen fixing veges
Hi donny i saw many of your videos so helpful . Im gonna start with your suggested 4 crops . But i can't find a video which tells how much seeds i should use for 1 tray. Can you please tell that ? Thanks
depends on variety
I love growing okra and I combine strawberries with asparagus
awesome, thank you!
Wood chips can tie up nitrogen so add some nitrogen to your beds with wood chips.
X2
great, thank you!
I'm in my 4th season of Grow BioIntensive farming. Dug out beds in my back yard. Have removed thousands of rocks. I grow my own compost and only have to bring in alfalfa. I would not use wood chips on most crops. Close spacing planting will allow for a canopy over the soil. The leaves touch and helps with watering less. Look up some GB and the book How To Grow More Vegetables by John Jeavons.
Awesome thank you!!
Hi man! I love watching your videos and I’m thinking to start micro green growing. I was wondering can I grow at home edible flowers like calendula, hibiscus, daylily, chive and nasturtiums? And if I do how long it takes to grow those flowers? I appreciate it your time!
Yes of course you can grow edible flowers and anything you want!
Wood chips that get mixed in with soil leach nitrogen from the plants.
Thank you!
Hi how r u .. Merry Christmas i like to ask u if u have any information or have u try to plant this before if yes please share a video ( AGARWOOD SEEDS ) THANKS
never used them, no
That peach trees pretty close to the fence. Also they attract alot of bugs/bees next to the pool. Rip atleast you can eat a peach wile swimming lol. Try growing some bell peppers they are soo good fresh and ez to grow
thanks!
i didn't know that Mike Wheeler´s from Stranger Things had such an amazing Farm. Very cool Mike Greens.
lol
i prefer promix Hp for its higher drainage than the Bx. maybe introduce some simple pearlite in your soil mix to assist in drainage? I dont use mulch so not sure about that, I just layer pineneedles on the top sometimes
Fire Content🔥🔥🔥🔥BLeSs
thank you!!!
much love 🌱💚
the problem might be the compost you are using. unless it is certified organic you might have some sort of pyralid I think it;s called (pesticide) mixed in the compost through the ingredients used to create the compost that can cause the stunted growth. wood chips would cause a problem if you have a lot mixed in the actual soil.
everything organic for sure!! they werent mixed in, just on top
Trust me, fish fertilizer. Use a full dose, asses after a week, apply more if they're still struggling.
Awesome, thank you!!
Just sow the seeds in the ground where you want them. If they bunch spread them out as they grow.
The birdie bed could be in the wrong spot, could be too wet the soil is probably not the issue, but wouldn't rule it out.
Also the birdies bed get hot 🔥.
Use a sugar cane for mulch, or use a mycologist straw from mushroom farms. Wood chips are best IN the soil breaking down.
Keep the soil alive with ground up malted seed. Any compost is fine.
Mix the wood chips into the soil, and use a lighter mulch.
The purple in the grass, is Daisy.
niceee thanks!
From what I've learnt about wood chips, it isn't good as a mulch for your vege patch more for ur garden paths to suppress weeds and in its process to break down it takes alot of nitrogen and that is what your lettuces need.
yes thank you!!
@Donny Greens Yeah if u want to use wood chip in ur garden patch itself it would have to be well rotted, but straw is all good, here where I live in nz people use alot of pea straw.
got it, thank you!!! learning so quickly because you guys
@@DonnyGreens hope it works well for you
progress every year baby!! everything is going perfect!!
I notice your birdie beds are on a paved porch, put them on the ground, let the worms come and go from the bottom, the pavers get hot and you start getting mould instead of bacteria.
got it!
@DonnyGreens use a lighter mulch than wood chips.
Wood chips are best IN the ground, breaking down as food, not on top as mulch.
yes im quickly finding this out haha
How about a tropical food Forest greenhouse ?
boom !!
What of dirt should I use
for micros?
Are you letting the mulched beds dry out enough? When i started mulching years ago i kept watering as if i wasn't, big mistake. Letting the soil dry is a vital part of encouraging root growth, so maybe thats part of your issue? The new space and garden is looking great otherwise!
that could be playing a role for sure!! ive been watering every day, maybe i shouldnt be!!!
Water every other day
thank you
Dear Donny, in addition to instagram and facebook sales do you have any employees doing this job?
I'm in Santa ana California and I would like to come and buy kits from you. Please let me know. Thanks!
Hey!! I actually ship my kits. You can find links to all the seeds, supplies and equipment I use in the descriptions of my UA-cam videos or simply join the challenge here: onetrayaway.com/
Do you grow micrgreens indoors year around
yessir!
I’d say a few things. Pollination issues. Fertilizer issues. And nitrogen issues bc of wood chips.
got it, thank you!!
Lettuce likes cooler temps... they could be getting too much direct sun.
possibly
Let’s get a video on growing the new Microgreens you’re doing for chefs
i think im about to quite a few grow videos!
The wood chips are your main problem, remove them and put them in your compost pile. The wood chips will nake the dirt to sour, that's no good
gotcha, thank you!
@Donny Greens no thankyou, I am going to try growing microgreens
much love. hows the journey going? still need help?
Lol. Also plant way more flowers for the bees. They will be your best friends
thank you!
Get some of that ash from the fireplace in the soil.
alright!
to much water in outdoor pots . only water every 5 to 7 days outside
Got it thanks
Wood chips are good for woody trees fruit etc, not for vegies.
thank you
Starting my farm I live in a different place than you check it out I was a chef for about 15 years and I'm about to kill this s***. Danny Green's bout to get overlooked
haha okayyyy
@@DonnyGreens kidding bro you da man. Hope I do well
hope you do too
