    Look her up she has great ideas.

    Thanks James! You've breathed life back into my vegie garden! Seriously, I gave up on it two years ago. There was a LOT of effort to keep up with the weeds only to have deer and birds devour the vegies, grapes, etc. it was overwhelming and I decided to not plant again....until I found your channel!:) Now I have a new plan, going to try things I have never tried before, and all thanks to you! I am excited to get started. Thanks! Happy Gardening:) Sending little Tuck lots of love and Happy Birthday wishes!

    About 10 years ago i started layering wood chips like you because my soil was a solid clay pan, and the wood chips I could get all I wanted free locally delivered, they just wanted to get rid of them. Over the years I still go through about 6-8 loads of chips, I have a 1/4acre garden. But about 6 years ago, I was able to get a ton of 2x8 lumber for free and built raised beds on top of my wood chips garden. Over the years they of course decompose and i just chip the paths between beds, but I keep another two piles of wood chips that I treat as compost piles, which that is the mostly decomposed material I use every season to top of my beds. Probably over the past 3 years, my yields has been exponential. Not only are we feeding our entire house but about a dozen families on our street, its really quite insane. We are able to squeeze in more crops, harvest is super easy and space/efficiency has been maximized. Thanks for doing these videos.

      @batikh100 4 роки тому +1

      if you are using wood chips on the garden, what would happen when you try to turn the soil next season, is that ok for the soil. would not that be too much wood chips on the soil. thanks

    • @venomsailor
      @venomsailor 4 роки тому +4

      So I don’t turn my wood chips I just plant directly down in them. After a year or so once you pull back about an inch you reach black gold in the form or great soil. Plus you shouldn’t turn your gardens. That encourages wind and water erosion of everything that is good in a garden, like minerals

    • @plutusiek
      @plutusiek 4 роки тому +5

      @@batikh100 you definitely don't want to mix the soil with not composted wood chips. What I have seen on YT this is the common mistake and reason for people blaming the BTE is not working. Wood chips mixed with the soil will take the nitrogen from it to decompose. The natural way is like in nature - just adding new layers on the top.

    First a big ❤ for tuck! Love the little guy 😍
    Secondly I've been using this method for most of my gardening life. What I love about it is I never put two of the same crops in adjoining squares, one it helps in natural pest reduction by not concentrating the plants and two it makes the garden look incredibly pretty.
    Enjoy your beautiful garden, from new Zealand!
