First time viewer here. I'm very impressed with the depth of information provided. Your information on this YT video certainly encouraged me to join your membership, which I will do. I've seen multiple YT channels which don't provide enough information. I want more details like your provide here! Thank you for giving this teaser. I'm so glad to find this!
Thank you so much. It's a challenge to find a balance between "enough" information that is useful, and "too much" where the videos are too long. This is one of the reasons we started our own membership community - so we can dive deeper into subjects that are of interest. We would love to have you as a member of our community. Now is a great time to join too as we are hosting a Live Workshop about Poison Free Pest Control this week. Here's a link for details. www.gardensthatmatter.com/poison-free-pest-control/ Happy Gardening.
Thank you. Glad you enjoy them. We have a brand new program we are working on (hopefully ready to launch next month) designed especially for beginning gardeners. We will be notifying people via email when we are ready to launch it. If you would like to be notified too, you can sign up for our email list over on our website gardensthatmatter.com We would love to see you there. If not, that's ok too, we are also planning our UA-cam video schedule for spring videos. Glad you found us. Happy Gardening.
Very informative! We are trying to move towards a no-till "permaculture" inspired veggie garden... lots of videos online with opinions but you offered real, informative, practical info - VERY helpful! Thanks! Also loved the your video on cover crops 😀
Way to go Trish. I love that you are moving toward no-till. It really is better for the soil and the planet. Thank you for watching and sharing. Good luck with your "permaculture" journey. Keep us informed about how it goes.
Is there a different inoculant that can be used on bean pole plants that were started indoors from seed (no inoculant) and now ready to plant outside, something to mix in soil,maybe?
Where can I get these types of bacteria and fungi? Also, does buckwheat need inoculation. Lastly, can I have a live cover crop and plant my crop through it? Thanks for your thorough teaching! It’s feeding my excitement for gardening this spring!
Hi Charlene. Thanks for the comments and questions. First, if you buy a cover crop seed that is a legume (or has one in the mix), then you need inoculant. Normally, the supplier of the seed will have the proper inoculant. I would try your local suppliers first. We got our mix from a local supplier. If you have to order seed online, then ask about inoculant too. Did you watch our videos Cover Crops in the Garden Part One and Two, where we talk about the seed we use? I noticed your comments came on top of the inoculant video which is a companion to the other videos. The seed we use in those videos is called Ray's Crazy Fall Mix, but they have a Crazy Spring Mix too. You can check out the distributor's (King's Agriseed) web page to find a local supplier in your area. Here's a link www.kingsagriseeds.com/wp-con... Some of the suppliers only sell in 50 lb bags though, so if you have a small garden, you may be better off buying smaller quantities of a local mix or putting together your own mix of seed. Here's a link to another seed company that we love called Sow True Seed. They are local for us but sell online. sowtrueseed.com/collections/cover-crop They sell only open pollinated, heirloom, and organic seeds. I hope this helps. So glad to hear you are thinking about cover crops. Oh yes, no buckwheat doesn't need inoculant. Only legumes (clover, peas and vetches). And yes, you can plant into a cover crop, but make sure you clear a nice area around whatever you plant. You do not want competition. The cover crop will win (especially if it is a cover crop in the grass family). Here is link to Part One of our Cover Crops in the Garden video in case you didn't see it first. Part Two has a link at end of Part One. ua-cam.com/video/PhDXCbxWTp8/v-deo.html Happy Gardening this spring!
Usually at a garden center that sells cover crop seeds or pea seeds, or you can order online. Just google "pea inoculant" or "inoculant for legumes". Make sure in the description it is recommended for the type of legume you are planting. Happy Gardening.
Thanks for sharing this information. I was looking for a way to have a better yield on my bush beans. Do you think this will be beneficial for peas as well?
Yes. All legumes benefit. Examples of legumes are alfalfa, clover, beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils, lupins, soybeans, peanuts, and tamarind. If you are growing any of these, they will benefit from inoculant. Just make sure you check the seed packaging or with the supplier on the proper inoculant that goes with what you are growing. Happy Gardening.
I planted my beans without innoculant as none is available locally during lockdown. A bag should arrive by mail next week. Can I still add it to the soil after the planting?
You can, but I cannot guarantee it will help this year. The bacteria you will be inoculating with naturally occurs in soil, however, until you've built up a critical mass in your soil, inoculant is recommended. Have you grown beans or peas (inoculated) in this area of your garden before?If you have, there may already be enough of the bacteria in your soil. To be effective, the inoculant has to be in contact with the roots, which is why we inoculate the seeds. Bacteria should be able to move through the soil and find its way to the roots, but I haven't read any research to verify this or to suggest how long it would take. But the point is, it will not hurt to add inoculant after planting and you will be building up to critical mass in your soil. Whether it will help this year's crop is the question.
Usually you can get inoculant the same place you buy your cover crop seed. If not, several online seed companies sell inoculant. Just do a search for legume inoculant. You just need to make sure you get the right inoculant for what you are growing. Many inoculant cover many different types of legumes (peas, vetch, clover, etc) but sometimes they are specific like for beans or soybeans. I have seen inoculant on Amazon, but we usually get ours locally or from a reputable seed company like Johnny's Selected Seeds. www.johnnyseeds.com/search/?q=innoculant&search-button=&lang=en_US Hope this helps.
Hi, what type of inoculant can I use for clover? Only one I found is McKenzie rhizobium for legumes, but it doesn’t mention clover. Can’t seem to find that info anywhere.
Here's one at Johnny's Selected Seeds that we have used for clover. www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/inoculants/alfalfa-true-clover-inoculant-9511.html If they are out, Arbico Organics carries the same. www.arbico-organics.com/product/alfalfa-clover-inoculant-1/seed-care-growing-mediums?gclid=CjwKCAjw47eFBhA9EiwAy8kzNCnJLaYLEdhjzcG4VzCNT70CK7n596mMmHbzIZcfV4M-heAaGP6ZphoC0_cQAvD_BwE It seems kind of crazy that different legumes need a different inoculant (bacteria), but that is the case. We have trouble finding inoculant locally so we typically have to order online. Hope this helps.
Good god this delivery is condescending...."now usually we think of infections as bad"....are you talking to pre-schoolers....."now you are going to follow the instructions on the packet".
Wow this was very helpful. I am interested to learn more.
Wow, thanks I knew nothing about inoculation prior to watching this video, and now I feel pretty informed! Thank you so much, awesome video
You could make money on commercials. Not that you are "selling" in the video but you have such a clear and pleasant voice.
Thank you for explaining the innoculents!!!

Wow I never knew that either, now that's new to me!!! Thanks you❤❤ but where can I buy this stuff

@@GardensThatMatter I have seen some inoculants online. Do you have any recommendations to purchase any from?

If they are out, Arbico Organics carries the same.

Where can I get Rhizobium Bacteria? I've looked all over including online and no luck.
True Leaf Market is an online supplier I like for buying small amounts of inoculant (1oz to 5oz quantities). I'm in the US. Hope that helps.
Good god this delivery is condescending...."now usually we think of infections as bad"....are you talking to pre-schoolers....."now you are going to follow the instructions on the packet".
Grumpy-pants! How's that for condescension :)
I guess you just called me a pre schooler since I am new and had no idea about any of this!
