- This farm has so many different kinds of soil - we're taking notes on what we need to have a successful garden in the future. Join me today as I show you what I'm doing in the one area. #appalachianmercantile #growyourownfood #sustainable #gardening #almostamish
Listen, calm down your gardens look amazing and you truly are as blessed as you are a blessing to others, I appreciate the honesty but you have to realize what so many people are experiencing this year which is discouraging at best,,,
I'm calm. :P Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video as always! You are a gardening inspiration!
Those carrots are beautiful. Thats one thing i struggle with growing.
Surprisingly, they did well. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yeah, where I live we have red clay soil, gets all over your clothes and is such a pain to get out of them its like brown pudding all over the ground 😭
My only success with red clay has been composting, it turns red clay into a very rich soil, adding sand into my compost also helped alot
That's our plan once Hubs has time to put our compost area together. For the end of this season, it is chop and drop. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
You must till your soil, that's why you have severe compaction. Try no-tiling. Look into soil health. You'll have weeds when you disturb the soil. Some"weeds" aren't bad, a variety of plants and roots can be beneficial to your soils and vegetables. Till and you will ruin your soil, reduce your production, and increase weeds. Lots of information out there for you to learn
@@jenniferhahn2851 it's our first year here. It's clay soil. As I said in the video, we will eventually be no till. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Darker soil? What does that tell you? Higher organic matter. Why? It looks like your soil is washing and eroding, bringing the topsoil to the first area of tillage or low land. Look into soil erosion and sedimentation. You'll have heavy soils in low lands because the eroded soil deposits there and organic matter accumulates in wet areas. Please, learn about soil and management, it's actually really easy and logical and will help you manage your land better. There's also prescribed grazing that improves your forage value. So many easy concepts out there for people to learn and implement
@jenniferhahn2851 it's darker from where there used to be a garden there and horse manure was added on a regular basis. Erosion would have better soil downhill, not the east to west. Where I was pointing is all clay, which I probably didn't make clear. Thanks for watching and commenting.
