11:00 This was my project. The original aim was to mount the laser on a drone instead of wheels. It would automatically detect and map the locations of weeds in pastures/farms, and then zap them (and then check back on them in a couple of days to see if they need a re-zap). This is back in 2018. As a research student my project originally was to identify the most effective laser source for this application. But given how much I learnt about the spectral signatures of plants, I also ended up helping them to use hyperspectral imaging to delineate weeds from crops. Unfortunately my contract expired during covid lockdown and haven't been able to find a job either in physics or agriculture. Anyway this selective approach avoids injuring the crops, and may provide a real alternative to herbicides...
How was the laser on a drone supposed to be powered? Aren't these lasers real power hogs making it necessary to carry a huge (and heavy) power source around? I think having it on a trailer like that is much more achievable. Or was the drone just supposed to do the mapping while the laser was being towed? But then I'd still think it's much easier to just include the recognition part on the towed platform.
I "regrow" onions for the tops. They're a bit thicker than standard green onions, IMO, so hold up better on hot foods. They can also be dehydrated and ground for onion powder. It makes me happy to squeeze every penny I can out of things. The orange candle works.
Great video as usual guys We do this orange light in Egypt for hundreds of years now, we always do it at the time of the feat of Epiphany usually in February (Coptic Orthodox Church). The idea is that the inside flesh of the sking will wick and be saturates with the oil (olive oil is the best) and will create a good oil lamp for several hours. We also cut/ engrave crosses on the top part( the dome) for cross light/ shadow. It has a religious meanings but now you know where did this come from. If you google it you will get the idea
It's cassia cinnamon and unfortunately you can't perpetually harvest which is why sourcing from those who prioritize replanting is so important. It can also take 15 years to reach maturity for harvest 😓. We use cinnamon in so much but so little is known about how environmentally and culturally impactful its harvesting process is. Ceylon is different and papery, the one that is more known for its health benefits. It's not used in baking/cooking in the same way cassia is.
I’m from the Faroe Islands and I can confirm that I know some people who plant potatoes in wool. We have so many sheep here, that farmers have too much wool (point being that the sheep aren’t sheared to provide for the potatoes). It works just as well as burying them in the soil.
I found a slow water dripping pipe from next to our A/C unit and I can't afford to fix it so I put some melon seeds in the ground where it drips and left it alone. That was in mid July. So far it has a 3 foot vine and 7 flowers and I haven't done a thing. I can't wait for the melons to come. I'm gonna put pumpkin seeds there next.
That is the ac drain line, it is supposed to be there and there is supposed to be water coming out of it when the unit is in use. Like water on the pavement when a vehicle is running the ac.
I've done the orange peel pith candle and it makes the room smell nice too :D and yeah - when wool is sheared from sheep, it gets sorted (or "skirted") into categories of firsts, seconds, and thirds. Firsts are what largely make it into commercial yarns and fabrics or into fiber for handspinning, seconds require a bit more work and are sometimes used for blends and more textured/novelty yarn, and thirds are parts of the fleece that wouldn't be terribly useful for yarn (things like wool that's especially dirty, has excessive vegetative matter in it, or is too coarse). Thirds and sometimes seconds would be excellent use cases for wool mulch!
@@rinarose9544 Up in Canada they have problems getting rid of sheep's wool, not profitable they say, can't even give it away. Watch "Sheepishly Me". She got so frustrated about it and decided to develop items of her own for sale, cute items. Check her out.
I saw a video of wool baths to clean it, it's a pain in the ASS and uses a lot of water. For quantities like pallets full of wool that have to be forklifted.
Cork can be harvested pretty much forever, as long as it's removed without damaging the tree. It takes 7 to 12 years to regrow to "commercial" thickness. The two most common types of cinnamon are "true cinnamon" (Ceylon / zeylanicum) and "chinese cinnamon" (cassia), although there are a few more variants (Saigon cinnamon, Malabar cinnamon, etc.). Ceylon is slightly more expensive than cassia but I actually find that it tastes a bit "burnt" when ground into powder, while cassia tastes a bit sweeter. So, I tend to use ceylon cinnamon sticks but cassia powder.
I know someone who put a brand-new, clean septic tank in the side of a hill to make a bunker/root cellar. The tank was cheap because it was unusable due to a crack but that was easily patched.
Hi Kevin and Jacques, your neighbor here from Tijuana. I have done some tests regrowing things just for fun and I have had great success regrowing onions from the root base, also regrowing celery the same way. You do get a full onion not just the greens. I planted two, one base rotted (I think it was too thin), but the other one did develop and I had a big onion bulb, you couldn't tell the difference from the ones I grew from seed. If you plant an onion root base you do get a full onion, if you plant a green onion base you will get green onions, same goes for leeks.The orange candle does work too. 👍
The rake that makes grid lines is actually really handy in a farming situation. Having the gridlines already down makes planting so much easier and faster since there are usually multiple people planting hundreds of plants and everyone is trying to maintain spacing. Probably wouldn't be used on a large industrial farm, but the small farm I worked on really wanted one
I live in Wales and we have lots of sheep, I have used the wool trick it is very effective and seems to keep slug attack down and mulches the plants. The other cool thing is that it rots down over about 18 -24 months and adds nitrogen to the soil.
KEVIN, SOMEONE, ANYONE. I have this crazy idea that I want to know if it will work and if it actually has any benefit at all. Recently moved to a townhouse to gardening is a maybe next yr. So we all should know by now that indeterminate tomatoes exist and burying the tomato stem is a thing. So instead of trellising and pruning tomatoes, can you just knock them down as they grow and bury the stems? Pruning considerations would drastically change, preferring the top growth and heavily prune bottom leaves as we go. Also there would be some underutilized space needed for where the tomatoes will land. But maybe we can use that spot for some quick produce? Lettuce, cilantro, green onions for spring. And on top of the stem we can do native flowers or anything else.
If you thin apples every year, you get large apples every year instead of one big year and then nothing the next. We hand thin apples, pears, and Asian pears at the school orchard to ensure fruit for the kids. We thin when the apples are nickle sized, not be the flower, but this tool looks useful.
Is that true for all apple varieties? My apple tree came with my house, and after reading that, I can’t actually decide if I even want it to fruit every year. She’s been full of problems and I’m not diligent enough to keep on top of them. 😕
@@foodgrowers1531 right now she produces a BANANAS amount every other year, but this year I've got a sooty blotch problem, a continuing problem a lack of calcium and maaaaybe a pest; when I read your comment I thought "maybe if it produces every year I can get a better handle on fixing her problems..." but if I put a bunch of effort into pruning back only for her to not produce in the off year, I miiiight get arrested for screaming obscenities at a tree... ha!
My grandparents had a cool DIY fruit picker for their huge avocado tree. Cut a 1" square from the upper lip of a tin can. Nail the can to the end of a long 1x1 with the cut facing up and out. Cheap and brilliant. 💚
The best thing about that lazer weeding thing is the lack of needing chemicals to kill the weeds. That's cool. The wool, if you don't have the soft/pricey wool can cost more to process than would ever make. So it becomes a waste product.
2:26 very true, best thing to do if you want the calcium in the shells is clean them, toast them, powder them, then leave them in some vinwgar for a few days, youll have WCA or water soluble calcium when the reaction has finished
You can also feed them to chickens or other livestock, and it breaks them down the same way. I mix powdered shells into my goats' mineral blend, and their manure of course ends up in my garden!
Protip: If you have a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder, you can save up your eggshells and dry them out until you have a decent amount, grind them into a powder and boom. NOW you have something that's great for your soil. I add shell powder to all my potting soils and if i've saved up a bunch over the winter, i can use them come spring to amend the soil of my yard as well before transplanting any seedlings to my yard.
I let mine dry out in a bucket, smash them by foot or tool, and spread it into my garden with compost. I never had the space or patience to do more than that lol
I grind mine up and mix it into my goats' mineral blend, and I have neighbors who mix it with their chicken feed. The gastric juices react with the shells and make the calcium available in the manure, which then gets mixed into my compost.
Ive made the oil lamp out of the orange peel and pith. I did not put the top piece on it. But if you dont accidentally tear off the center pith, it works
Hey Kevin & Jacque, I recently saw a cool hack on yt shorts by an older gentleman that refers to himself as grandpa. Before his strawberries put on fruit he scatters a bunch of small, red painted rocks around his plants. The idea is that the birds will come and peck at the painted rocks and learn that they don't enjoy these "strawberries" . So, when your real strawberries come in they'll leave them alone. I'd love to see you guys try this out!
I once used duct tape on an apple tree branch that got damaged by a fallen branch. It had absolutely perfect fruit that I didn't want to lose. Couldn't believe it when it worked! Branch healed perfectly and I didn't lose the apples😊
i got two bulbs off the onion bottom i bought from a local, bolted, and i cut it back. let it go again, harvested several months later, when it bolted again, got thousands of seeds, processed the stalk and dehydrated and made powder, processed the bulbs to onion flaks !!!
So as an "unprofessional gardener" who's grown nearly all my food for 30+ yeeqrs I can tell you guys the snail roll method for seed starting works great. I thought why not try this spring and the root system on my starts was incredible. Don't knock it until you try it. 😉
Me vs Squash Beetles, My best year with pumpkins was in 2021, we had 17 pumpkins total. Since then squash beetles have claimed the pumpkin patches and we barely received 5 pumpkins. The difference. In 2021 I had a visit from an entire wild turkey family who ate all of the squash beetles that year. I figured that birds must really love eating squash beetles. So what did I do? I put the pumpkin patch under the bird feeders. This was a twofer since the deer in the area love headbutting our bird feeders and eating the seeds. This year, 27 pumpkins. I'm trying it again next year to see if I get a good crop again.
Horticulture student here! The grafting is correct and will work, but grafting like that is not easy. It has a low success rate and has to be done at a specific time of year under specific circumstances depending on the species of tree. It's pretty cool though!
I LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS AND THE COOKING ONES. The expirements and weird plants are def fan favorites. I think traveling to different greenhouses and gardens would also be super cool.
I totally agree with the egg shell thing. Even feeding them to my worms super crushed up it even takes them ages to get through a lot of shells at once.
The angry mango lady is a part of marketing trend in China that says “we’ve got such good products but we don’t have enough buyers “ and the package thing is to protect them from birds and pests
I've seen other gardeners use the packing foam method to germinate seeds and they have all said that it makes it easy to start a lot of seeds in a small space, so if you don't have a ton of room to start seed this could be a great method. They've also shown planting from this method and taking the seedlings apart is actually fairly easy.
2:35 Agree. Even in our compost the eggshells are one of the things that are visible the longest. Even they break into smaller pieces over time it takes a long time to acutally decompose. But my sister is using eggshells on her balcony for her snails XD
I’ve seen those tree harvesters at work. Fascinating but also terrifying. And they just leave the top bits they don’t want on the ground which isn’t great for wildfire reduction.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong. However I believe that is stem safe grow protection/deterrent for the caterpillars to climb up to the leaves is what y'all are calling a screen in the egg. Best to use toilet paper roll, soak the 🥚 shells blend into powder and use as fertilizer . I've seen all different kinds and some do look like screens like the copper garden wire that's safe that you can use for floral/plant seedling or even mature yielding plants.
8:30 there's actually like 5 types of cinnamon. They get grouped into two groups: true cinnamon (one type) and fake cinnamon (4 types). You're most likely to get the fake cinnamon in stores and actually the fake cinnamon is better for baked goods as it retains the flavor of cinnamon after heating.
i'm a fishkeeper, too. first thought was "oh no..... that foam is gonna kill the vapor exchange" that lets the water oxygenate and all with surface agitation. i hope no one implements that PARTICULAR setup. there's other ways to accomplish the same thing tho.
Fun video, thanks. Just an FYI the massive square planting is taking place in the Chateau Villandry's vegetable garden in the Loire Valley of France. The garden is designed in the typically classic French style. The garden is massive and the produce is all used it is not an ornamental garden, it does feed people. The low fences surrounding each garden patch have espaliered apple trees that have trunks as thick as 3-5 inches thick. An absolutely visit for ANY veggie gardener and worth the trip to French. It was my first stop after landing in Paris.
Sheep need to be sheared, and with so many synthetic fabrics, most wool now just gets composted. There used to be tons of breeds of sheep that were specialized for different terrains and climates. Their wool had a variety of textures and characteristics, not just for soft garments. Lots of it was best for rugs or upholstry or outerwear. Now people only want merino. It’s too bad because wool s such an amazing fiber
In Malakka the gardeners graft different coloured bougainvillea together so the trees/bushes/plants have many different colored flowers. Looks magnificent.
Y'all. That thumbnail came straight off a Harlequin romance novel. I'm not even one of the people who thought you two were in a relationship, so it's not that! All you need to do is slap "Sowing Love" on top and you've got yourself a bestselling novel. 😅😂
@@epicgardening Kevin, I just watch a short of yours on growing beans from store bought beans. Can suggest a few to grow both pole and bush varieties? Thank You.
Oh no, please do not try the "hydroponic" idea with a fish. Bettas in particular need to breathe air from the surface and if that plant was left in the tank as shown the fish would have suffocated.
Hi, I live in France (Loire Valley) and think that the chateau with the precise planting technique might very well be Villandry. Their beautiful vegetable gardens are quite famous and definitely worth a detour if ever visiting.
hahaha i will laugh my A$$ off if they do an episode with switched hats. OR if they cosplayed as each other. like jaques has to talk and act like kevin and be all about "ORDER IN THE GARDEN" and kevin has to suck it up and do floppy hat chaos gardening. i LOVE the spoof episodes. they're just so fun. immediately several come to mind and it's one of the reasons i watch this channel over others. plus they have that good wholesome BFF vibe and it's cathartic, a nice foil to the absolute chaos going on IRL everywhere. this channel really helps shut that out for a bit.
I have a root cellar in our very old home, and I have no idea if it’s good or not. It’s about 5x8, with dirt/sand floor and what looks like an old potato bin. It seems really humid, and is really musty. I suppose I could re-line the floor with clean sand, but I don’t know if that would take care of the mustiness. It’s on the same level as the basement, so not deep underground. The house is well over 100 years old. It was used to store crockery planters, etc. We’d have to remove all that, and probably the wood of the bin (stall?) as it is really punky. I don’t know if it’s worth fixing up as a root cellar though. Decisions decisions… (edited for clarity)
14:17 Apple and similar fruit trees need to be thinned since they make far too much fruit per cluster, usually the middle flower (king bloom) produces the biggest and best fruit - so I guess they use that tool to selectively thin the outer flowers / fruit to get the best one. I usually just wait until after pollination and fruit set, since some of the fruit might fall off due to lack of pollination, and the unpollinated fruit will easily just fall off - so that tool doesn't really solve much.
i get why. when you see friends who are really in sync and get along so well you can wonder if it's a ship. but, nope! lol. both dating other people. it's so fun to watch people when they jive like this. it's about as satisfying as kevin looking at that carrot puller and talking about driving the machine. haha! i also agree with jaques, going too hard on "ORDER" can be nightmares. i love that they come from totally different ends of that perspective. chaos gardening versus super orderly. lmao on some of the silly vids involving that, too. :D
Since you guys do experiment's. Have you thought of getting everyone in different zones to try and Plant something that you don't typically plant? Like Avocado, pineapple, lemons, papaya etc? I'm from Minnesota and Now live in Iowa and people do this type of thing and I'm amazed at how they've done this! I've seen Pears, oranges elderberry and Avocado. I do realize these may take multiple yrs but it's be an interesting series and something to check back in on every 6 months or per season.
I'd love to see you review and even test things like homemade/DIY rooting hormone, insecticidal soap, etc. There are so many recipes out there for this stuff, I'd love to know what actually works!
Fun video. I do wonder though how they keep the cinnamon tree alive cutting it all the way around. I was taught this was girdling and would kill a tree.
Potato Ty always amazes me with how much he harvests.Kevin is the potato daddy 😂. But potato Ty is the granddaddy of potatoes and maybe, just the carrot daddy. Anyways, found the new drip irrigation with the sponge helpful and looking forward to more sus garden hacks and more videos soon.😊
YT has a video showing that carrot harvester & it shows how tops are cut off & put right back in the bed. And there's a companion video that shows how they use the carrots to make baby carrots. Two very interesting videos. I watched em yesterday.
Canadian context: Not every sheep has wool you want against your skin. Sheep that have that kind of wool tend to not be breeds that produce as many lambs as are "necessary" to make an operation profitable in the modern world (or they're a small breed so the lambs don't yield as large a cut of meat as people want/expect... or they're a breed who grow more slowly than is necessary for a profitable operation). In the past, the wool from those sheep would have had a commercial application; rugs, upholstry, winter coats, stuffing for upholstry/quilts... the list goes on and on and on. But now, we use synthetic fibres for A LOT of things. Wool needs to be cared for in specific ways. Synthetic fibres are developed for each specific application to eliminate problems wool faces. And even with clothing, few people choose to wear wool anymore because of the care necessary. Plus, since the sheep who produce fine wool often aren't types that produce lambs "as profitably," (per modern affluent world standards) their wool is suddenly more expensive (because it has to make up for the less-productive lamb operation). Besides, synthetic fibre is always less expensive. Anyway, while the demand for lamb/mutton differ wildly ftom region to region, the long and the short of it is that wool has largely become a waste product for most sheep farmers who are producing lamb; you can only get a few pennies per pound for it, which doesn't do more than maybe pay for the fuel to haul it off to a mill (that's another problem... Because we used to use a lot of wool there used to be more wool mills around. Now, your farm might be VERY FAR from the nearest wool mill that will take it) That represents TIME SPENT, too... something farmers have very little of, especially for extra work that takes them away from the farm, that pays very very little. I've been very interested in getting sheep, just for my own uses, but when learning how to care for them and process a fleece you end up learning about full-scale operations too. And now, I live on a rural property where my neighbours are small-scale sheep farmers. They give their fleeces away to anyone who wants to use it for anything. I used waste fleeces to insulate my small chicken coop, for example. I haven't approached them to get fleeces to use as mulch in the garden yet... it seems... idk, offensive or something. Altho returning the wool to the soil surely must be better than not having it used at all (they have a hay loft full of bags of fleeces). re: the orchard scissors thing - if all the clusters of blossoms on the branch of a fruit tree manage to produce a fruit for each flower it opens, 1) the fruit tend to be smaller (thinning the fruit tends to produce much larger fruit) 2) some of the fruit will grow "squashed" by its neighbours as it develops (loss of quality of yield, since the market wants uniformity both for sale but also for shipping) 3) the branches will be heavily weighed down. Some branches will get pulled out of the shape you wanted them trained to and won't bounce back to the shape you wanted them in (potentially important for maximizing yield and quantity and potentially tree health/longevity), some branches will split, and also, in some cases for some kinds of fruit grown on short trees, the fruit near the tip of lower branches may become more accessible to non-arboreal animals who'd eat it/damage it even if they can't eat the whole fruit.
Do not ever do that to a betta tank. Bettas are obligate carnovres and they're members of Anabantoidei, they have to come to the surface for air sometimes as their gills can't gather all they need. that's an echo of the "betta vase' and it is bad, it kills fish. don't do it.
That mango is called เขียวเสวย (kiew-sa-weui), meaning green eat (as in delicious or gourmet), in Thailand. It's very mild in flavor but very meaty, long, and big. You can find it imported at Vietnamese or Southeast Asian grocery stores in Summer. (Pan Asia and Hiep Thai have it.)
So what was the cost of building your homestead/ epic garden? What % came from yourself and what % was from the firm investors you partnered with to buy a family owned seed company?
100% of the money to build the homestead came from my own pocket, feel free to check the Reddit post for my response as well. That video is fear mongering and misleading
I've heard on BBC Gardeners Question Time that people can use wool for a slug deterrent. . how long it takes to break down, but it seems like it would be a nice cozy blanket to warm the soil. You guys could do a collab with Right Choice Shearing. Katie and Darien have to shear a lot of sheep whose wool is not good for textiles. Dude. I need that thinner tool. I have three apple trees and I'm just lazy enough to use this thing.
According to google Black Diamond Apples are actually real. Its just that they are rare, difficult to grow and near impossible to export out of China where they are viewed as an extreme luxury gift. They're also not true black but a deep plum purple and supposedly incredibly sweet and rich tasting.
The whole egg shell thing while bad, you CAN use eggshells well in the garden. Bake em and grind them up. They won't exactly help your plants but worms and other bugs LOVE eggshell bits above anything else to use to grind down food. They make bugs happy that make compost and break down nutrients for you and those eggshells will eventually be added to their frass over time. Watching worm and bug bins cameras on youtube can teach a lot about the ecology of soil. Ground shells are feeding your helper bugs, not your plants!
Resusing old water bottles like that in garden is never good idea. That kind of plastic is not meant to be out in UV or used beyond its one time use for water. It starts breaking down and you get chemicals and microplastics in your garden.
A lot of small family farms that grow Christmas trees would love to have an affordable contraption that makes trimming 8 foot trees as easy as that boxwood.
Love the video as always, I just wish all the hacks you review would be home garden focused as the average lay-gardener has no access to or use for the industrial contraptions/processes.
This was really fun. I've got a species Rhododendron that is in need of water about every three days. I've been looking for a hack. The sponge in the water bottle is a great idea.
In my family, we are the suburban kids. But our cousins are the farmers and ranchers and almost all of them have invented machinery of some kind (or another invention) that makes their jobs easier. The level of innovation is amazing and from what I've observed from a distance even, that kind of mindset starts when they are very small. Successful American farmers are some of the most creative, intelligent innovators and problem solvers in history, and don't get enough credit for what they do. (So when they sound an alarm or make a complaint about something, yes, even political, we should listen to them).
Yeah, eggshells unless you dry them out, grind them up and treat them with vinegar. They are not bioavailable unless you have some really good living soil they can break it down, but even that takes a while. Sprouted seed tea sprouted seed.Tea
😁👍👏👏👏 You guys are funny. Sonedsy youll have to come out to the TN family estate, and see how we do it. Might surprise you how we mix very old with with the new.
Wow imagine all the carrot rust flies running (flying) to that field when those tops got cut.😳😱 From what I read off the internet their sense of smell is insane they can sense carrot tops being cut for miles away. I remember correctly .😅😅 0:11
So the spiral hack is more for starting seeds so that the seedlings are easy to pull apart and then plant wherever you want them. I’ve never seen someone actually put that spiral in a pot, but maybe that’s to help with moisture?

i would bet this becomes a thing
Wow, all respect and I'm sorry about your bump in the road and hope it's temporary! Glad you commented.
VERY cool project! Are you too far in your career to do a postdoc at an ag school?
How was the laser on a drone supposed to be powered? Aren't these lasers real power hogs making it necessary to carry a huge (and heavy) power source around? I think having it on a trailer like that is much more achievable. Or was the drone just supposed to do the mapping while the laser was being towed? But then I'd still think it's much easier to just include the recognition part on the towed platform.
I would bet it doesn't become a thing. "Roundup hates this man!"
I "regrow" onions for the tops. They're a bit thicker than standard green onions, IMO, so hold up better on hot foods. They can also be dehydrated and ground for onion powder. It makes me happy to squeeze every penny I can out of things. The orange candle works.

I put my ginger planter under my AC doing the same thing! It's so lush and I'm in zone 4. Hope your melons and pumpkins are delicious for you!
Just the chainsaw bar on the industrial tree harvester you looked at is $250-300
I've done the orange peel pith candle and it makes the room smell nice too :D and yeah - when wool is sheared from sheep, it gets sorted (or "skirted") into categories of firsts, seconds, and thirds. Firsts are what largely make it into commercial yarns and fabrics or into fiber for handspinning, seconds require a bit more work and are sometimes used for blends and more textured/novelty yarn, and thirds are parts of the fleece that wouldn't be terribly useful for yarn (things like wool that's especially dirty, has excessive vegetative matter in it, or is too coarse). Thirds and sometimes seconds would be excellent use cases for wool mulch!

The two most common types of cinnamon are "true cinnamon" (Ceylon / zeylanicum) and "chinese cinnamon" (cassia), although there are a few more variants (Saigon cinnamon, Malabar cinnamon, etc.). Ceylon is slightly more expensive than cassia but I actually find that it tastes a bit "burnt" when ground into powder, while cassia tastes a bit sweeter. So, I tend to use ceylon cinnamon sticks but cassia powder.
The part of the wool is probably the skirting, which is the “junk” wool that may be stained, or contain too much vegetable matter and/or animal waste.
I know someone who put a brand-new, clean septic tank in the side of a hill to make a bunker/root cellar. The tank was cheap because it was unusable due to a crack but that was easily patched.

Hi Kevin and Jacques, your neighbor here from Tijuana. I have done some tests regrowing things just for fun and I have had great success regrowing onions from the root base, also regrowing celery the same way. You do get a full onion not just the greens. I planted two, one base rotted (I think it was too thin), but the other one did develop and I had a big onion bulb, you couldn't tell the difference from the ones I grew from seed. If you plant an onion root base you do get a full onion, if you plant a green onion base you will get green onions, same goes for leeks.The orange candle does work too. 👍
Hi not my neighbour thanks for sharing you knowledge, I always wanted to try this tricks but I didn’t believe it will work.😊
The rake that makes grid lines is actually really handy in a farming situation. Having the gridlines already down makes planting so much easier and faster since there are usually multiple people planting hundreds of plants and everyone is trying to maintain spacing. Probably wouldn't be used on a large industrial farm, but the small farm I worked on really wanted one
I live in Wales and we have lots of sheep, I have used the wool trick it is very effective and seems to keep slug attack down and mulches the plants. The other cool thing is that it rots down over about 18 -24 months and adds nitrogen to the soil.
when I was an archaeologist I dug up egg shells that were well over a hundred years old. so there.
nah, that was just your assistant having eggs for a mid-day snack.
The double sided pruner is used to preserve the king blossom when thinning apples.
KEVIN, SOMEONE, ANYONE. I have this crazy idea that I want to know if it will work and if it actually has any benefit at all. Recently moved to a townhouse to gardening is a maybe next yr.
So we all should know by now that indeterminate tomatoes exist and burying the tomato stem is a thing. So instead of trellising and pruning tomatoes, can you just knock them down as they grow and bury the stems?
Pruning considerations would drastically change, preferring the top growth and heavily prune bottom leaves as we go.
Also there would be some underutilized space needed for where the tomatoes will land. But maybe we can use that spot for some quick produce? Lettuce, cilantro, green onions for spring. And on top of the stem we can do native flowers or anything else.
If you thin apples every year, you get large apples every year instead of one big year and then nothing the next. We hand thin apples, pears, and Asian pears at the school orchard to ensure fruit for the kids. We thin when the apples are nickle sized, not be the flower, but this tool looks useful.
Is that true for all apple varieties?
My apple tree came with my house, and after reading that, I can’t actually decide if I even want it to fruit every year. She’s been full of problems and I’m not diligent enough to keep on top of them. 😕
@@emmalowmax Let go and it will produce or not and you can pick or not, prune or not. Be as diligent or lazy as you want - no judging ;-)
@@foodgrowers1531 right now she produces a BANANAS amount every other year, but this year I've got a sooty blotch problem, a continuing problem a lack of calcium and maaaaybe a pest; when I read your comment I thought "maybe if it produces every year I can get a better handle on fixing her problems..." but if I put a bunch of effort into pruning back only for her to not produce in the off year, I miiiight get arrested for screaming obscenities at a tree... ha!
My grandparents had a cool DIY fruit picker for their huge avocado tree. Cut a 1" square from the upper lip of a tin can. Nail the can to the end of a long 1x1 with the cut facing up and out. Cheap and brilliant. 💚
The best thing about that lazer weeding thing is the lack of needing chemicals to kill the weeds. That's cool. The wool, if you don't have the soft/pricey wool can cost more to process than would ever make. So it becomes a waste product.
2:26 very true, best thing to do if you want the calcium in the shells is clean them, toast them, powder them, then leave them in some vinwgar for a few days, youll have WCA or water soluble calcium when the reaction has finished
You can also feed them to chickens or other livestock, and it breaks them down the same way. I mix powdered shells into my goats' mineral blend, and their manure of course ends up in my garden!
Protip: If you have a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder, you can save up your eggshells and dry them out until you have a decent amount, grind them into a powder and boom. NOW you have something that's great for your soil. I add shell powder to all my potting soils and if i've saved up a bunch over the winter, i can use them come spring to amend the soil of my yard as well before transplanting any seedlings to my yard.
I let mine dry out in a bucket, smash them by foot or tool, and spread it into my garden with compost. I never had the space or patience to do more than that lol
I grind mine up and mix it into my goats' mineral blend, and I have neighbors who mix it with their chicken feed. The gastric juices react with the shells and make the calcium available in the manure, which then gets mixed into my compost.
Ive made the oil lamp out of the orange peel and pith. I did not put the top piece on it. But if you dont accidentally tear off the center pith, it works
Hey Kevin & Jacque,
I recently saw a cool hack on yt shorts by an older gentleman that refers to himself as grandpa. Before his strawberries put on fruit he scatters a bunch of small, red painted rocks around his plants. The idea is that the birds will come and peck at the painted rocks and learn that they don't enjoy these "strawberries" . So, when your real strawberries come in they'll leave them alone. I'd love to see you guys try this out!
I once used duct tape on an apple tree branch that got damaged by a fallen branch. It had absolutely perfect fruit that I didn't want to lose. Couldn't believe it when it worked! Branch healed perfectly and I didn't lose the apples😊
That's a great idea!
The laser weeding is so much better than chemicals!
i got two bulbs off the onion bottom i bought from a local, bolted, and i cut it back. let it go again, harvested several months later, when it bolted again, got thousands of seeds, processed the stalk and dehydrated and made powder, processed the bulbs to onion flaks !!!
So as an "unprofessional gardener" who's grown nearly all my food for 30+ yeeqrs I can tell you guys the snail roll method for seed starting works great. I thought why not try this spring and the root system on my starts was incredible. Don't knock it until you try it. 😉
Me vs Squash Beetles, My best year with pumpkins was in 2021, we had 17 pumpkins total. Since then squash beetles have claimed the pumpkin patches and we barely received 5 pumpkins. The difference. In 2021 I had a visit from an entire wild turkey family who ate all of the squash beetles that year. I figured that birds must really love eating squash beetles. So what did I do? I put the pumpkin patch under the bird feeders. This was a twofer since the deer in the area love headbutting our bird feeders and eating the seeds. This year, 27 pumpkins. I'm trying it again next year to see if I get a good crop again.
Horticulture student here! The grafting is correct and will work, but grafting like that is not easy. It has a low success rate and has to be done at a specific time of year under specific circumstances depending on the species of tree. It's pretty cool though!
I once used left over wool (I spin) as mulch around a plant and my son wondered if there was a dead cat out in the yard.
Oh poor son! 😂
I LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS AND THE COOKING ONES. The expirements and weird plants are def fan favorites. I think traveling to different greenhouses and gardens would also be super cool.
I totally agree with the egg shell thing. Even feeding them to my worms super crushed up it even takes them ages to get through a lot of shells at once.
The angry mango lady is a part of marketing trend in China that says “we’ve got such good products but we don’t have enough buyers “ and the package thing is to protect them from birds and pests
@noorarahimi1498 - Such a shame. Not. Maybe they can sell them to Russians.
I've seen other gardeners use the packing foam method to germinate seeds and they have all said that it makes it easy to start a lot of seeds in a small space, so if you don't have a ton of room to start seed this could be a great method. They've also shown planting from this method and taking the seedlings apart is actually fairly easy.
2:35 Agree. Even in our compost the eggshells are one of the things that are visible the longest. Even they break into smaller pieces over time it takes a long time to acutally decompose. But my sister is using eggshells on her balcony for her snails XD
@16:45 it would be great if Epic Gardening did tours to farms like these once in a while ✊🏾
We will!
🥔tips please
Jacques, you look amazing, super healthy! I’m mostly a listener so I haven’t actually watched the visuals in ages. You look great.
A little bit of bark dust 😂😂 I love this episode! My favorite gardeners!
I’ve seen those tree harvesters at work. Fascinating but also terrifying. And they just leave the top bits they don’t want on the ground which isn’t great for wildfire reduction.
Rubber snakes and rats I got at the dollar store keep squirrels out of my garden. I just have to move them periodically
I wonder if the rubber snakes will work for a stray cat?

If I'm wrong I'm wrong. However I believe that is stem safe grow protection/deterrent for the caterpillars to climb up to the leaves is what y'all are calling a screen in the egg. Best to use toilet paper roll, soak the 🥚 shells blend into powder and use as fertilizer . I've seen all different kinds and some do look like screens like the copper garden wire that's safe that you can use for floral/plant seedling or even mature yielding plants.
13:24 Not only do I have the patience, I have the grit and I have the determination, and I have the willpower.
OK seriously though, I do drink LMNT Sparkling cans when I’m in the garden! Spot on ad, gents!!
8:30 there's actually like 5 types of cinnamon. They get grouped into two groups: true cinnamon (one type) and fake cinnamon (4 types).
You're most likely to get the fake cinnamon in stores and actually the fake cinnamon is better for baked goods as it retains the flavor of cinnamon after heating.
That FISH is a Betta and needs to surface for air. Mindless.
i'm a fishkeeper, too. first thought was "oh no..... that foam is gonna kill the vapor exchange" that lets the water oxygenate and all with surface agitation. i hope no one implements that PARTICULAR setup. there's other ways to accomplish the same thing tho.
I have pathos stuck in one 9f the little cutouts of my 50g lid.

I want an entire video of Kevin and Jacques reviewing million-dollar farm machines.
Fun video, thanks.
Just an FYI the massive square planting is taking place in the Chateau Villandry's vegetable garden in the Loire Valley of France. The garden is designed in the typically classic French style.
The garden is massive and the produce is all used it is not an ornamental garden, it does feed people.
The low fences surrounding each garden patch have espaliered apple trees that have trunks as thick as 3-5 inches thick.
An absolutely visit for ANY veggie gardener and worth the trip to French. It was my first stop after landing in Paris.
Sheep need to be sheared, and with so many synthetic fabrics, most wool now just gets composted. There used to be tons of breeds of sheep that were specialized for different terrains and climates. Their wool had a variety of textures and characteristics, not just for soft garments. Lots of it was best for rugs or upholstry or outerwear. Now people only want merino.
It’s too bad because wool s such an amazing fiber

In Malakka the gardeners graft different coloured bougainvillea together so the trees/bushes/plants have many different colored flowers. Looks magnificent.

Kevin, I just watch a short of yours on growing beans from store bought beans.
Can suggest a few to grow both pole and bush varieties? Thank You.
The Cinnamon Roll thing is so the sprouts are easier to separate when transplanting 😉
Oh no, please do not try the "hydroponic" idea with a fish. Bettas in particular need to breathe air from the surface and if that plant was left in the tank as shown the fish would have suffocated.
that logging machine blew my mind!!
Hi, I live in France (Loire Valley) and think that the chateau with the precise planting technique might very well be Villandry. Their beautiful vegetable gardens are quite famous and definitely worth a detour if ever visiting.
YOU TWO GUYS HAVE TO SWITCH HATS ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha i will laugh my A$$ off if they do an episode with switched hats. OR if they cosplayed as each other. like jaques has to talk and act like kevin and be all about "ORDER IN THE GARDEN" and kevin has to suck it up and do floppy hat chaos gardening. i LOVE the spoof episodes. they're just so fun. immediately several come to mind and it's one of the reasons i watch this channel over others. plus they have that good wholesome BFF vibe and it's cathartic, a nice foil to the absolute chaos going on IRL everywhere. this channel really helps shut that out for a bit.

Hey, hobbits need ALOT of food.
I have a root cellar in our very old home, and I have no idea if it’s good or not. It’s about 5x8, with dirt/sand floor and what looks like an old potato bin. It seems really humid, and is really musty. I suppose I could re-line the floor with clean sand, but I don’t know if that would take care of the mustiness. It’s on the same level as the basement, so not deep underground. The house is well over 100 years old. It was used to store crockery planters, etc. We’d have to remove all that, and probably the wood of the bin (stall?) as it is really punky. I don’t know if it’s worth fixing up as a root cellar though. Decisions decisions… (edited for clarity)
14:17 Apple and similar fruit trees need to be thinned since they make far too much fruit per cluster, usually the middle flower (king bloom) produces the biggest and best fruit - so I guess they use that tool to selectively thin the outer flowers / fruit to get the best one. I usually just wait until after pollination and fruit set, since some of the fruit might fall off due to lack of pollination, and the unpollinated fruit will easily just fall off - so that tool doesn't really solve much.
That's exactly what I was wondering, since I seem to remember that most flowers don't get pollinated and never grow into apples!
I've been here with you guys for well over a year & TODAY is the day, that I learned you are not a married couple?? 😂😂😂❤

i get why. when you see friends who are really in sync and get along so well you can wonder if it's a ship. but, nope! lol. both dating other people. it's so fun to watch people when they jive like this. it's about as satisfying as kevin looking at that carrot puller and talking about driving the machine. haha! i also agree with jaques, going too hard on "ORDER" can be nightmares. i love that they come from totally different ends of that perspective. chaos gardening versus super orderly. lmao on some of the silly vids involving that, too. :D
Save your egg shells. Bake them at low temp then toss in a food processor to make a powder. Free calcium.
I do the same and give them to my hens. The like the egg shells more than the commercial 17:39 oyster shell product
Since you guys do experiment's. Have you thought of getting everyone in different zones to try and Plant something that you don't typically plant? Like Avocado, pineapple, lemons, papaya etc? I'm from Minnesota and Now live in Iowa and people do this type of thing and I'm amazed at how they've done this! I've seen Pears, oranges elderberry and Avocado. I do realize these may take multiple yrs but it's be an interesting series and something to check back in on every 6 months or per season.
@savinginstyle - Can't just plant Avocado. A live shoot of a known cultivar has to be grafted to root stock.
I'd love to see you review and even test things like homemade/DIY rooting hormone, insecticidal soap, etc. There are so many recipes out there for this stuff, I'd love to know what actually works!
Fun video. I do wonder though how they keep the cinnamon tree alive cutting it all the way around. I was taught this was girdling and would kill a tree.
Potato Ty always amazes me with how much he harvests.Kevin is the potato daddy 😂. But potato Ty is the granddaddy of potatoes and maybe, just the carrot daddy. Anyways, found the new drip irrigation with the sponge helpful and looking forward to more sus garden hacks and more videos soon.😊

I'm twelve years old and I want to be a farmer because of this guy. So inspiring😂😂
YT has a video showing that carrot harvester & it shows how tops are cut off & put right back in the bed. And there's a companion video that shows how they use the carrots to make baby carrots. Two very interesting videos. I watched em yesterday.
Wool is commonly used as mulch. You can get them from eat sheep farmer 1-2 times a year.
Canadian context:
Not every sheep has wool you want against your skin.
Sheep that have that kind of wool tend to not be breeds that produce as many lambs as are "necessary" to make an operation profitable in the modern world (or they're a small breed so the lambs don't yield as large a cut of meat as people want/expect... or they're a breed who grow more slowly than is necessary for a profitable operation).
In the past, the wool from those sheep would have had a commercial application; rugs, upholstry, winter coats, stuffing for upholstry/quilts... the list goes on and on and on.
But now, we use synthetic fibres for A LOT of things. Wool needs to be cared for in specific ways. Synthetic fibres are developed for each specific application to eliminate problems wool faces.
And even with clothing, few people choose to wear wool anymore because of the care necessary. Plus, since the sheep who produce fine wool often aren't types that produce lambs "as profitably," (per modern affluent world standards) their wool is suddenly more expensive (because it has to make up for the less-productive lamb operation). Besides, synthetic fibre is always less expensive.
Anyway, while the demand for lamb/mutton differ wildly ftom region to region, the long and the short of it is that wool has largely become a waste product for most sheep farmers who are producing lamb; you can only get a few pennies per pound for it, which doesn't do more than maybe pay for the fuel to haul it off to a mill
(that's another problem... Because we used to use a lot of wool there used to be more wool mills around. Now, your farm might be VERY FAR from the nearest wool mill that will take it)
That represents TIME SPENT, too... something farmers have very little of, especially for extra work that takes them away from the farm, that pays very very little.
I've been very interested in getting sheep, just for my own uses, but when learning how to care for them and process a fleece you end up learning about full-scale operations too. And now, I live on a rural property where my neighbours are small-scale sheep farmers.
They give their fleeces away to anyone who wants to use it for anything. I used waste fleeces to insulate my small chicken coop, for example.
I haven't approached them to get fleeces to use as mulch in the garden yet... it seems... idk, offensive or something. Altho returning the wool to the soil surely must be better than not having it used at all (they have a hay loft full of bags of fleeces).
re: the orchard scissors thing - if all the clusters of blossoms on the branch of a fruit tree manage to produce a fruit for each flower it opens,
1) the fruit tend to be smaller (thinning the fruit tends to produce much larger fruit)
2) some of the fruit will grow "squashed" by its neighbours as it develops (loss of quality of yield, since the market wants uniformity both for sale but also for shipping)
3) the branches will be heavily weighed down. Some branches will get pulled out of the shape you wanted them trained to and won't bounce back to the shape you wanted them in (potentially important for maximizing yield and quantity and potentially tree health/longevity), some branches will split, and also, in some cases for some kinds of fruit grown on short trees, the fruit near the tip of lower branches may become more accessible to non-arboreal animals who'd eat it/damage it even if they can't eat the whole fruit.
Do not ever do that to a betta tank. Bettas are obligate carnovres and they're members of Anabantoidei, they have to come to the surface for air sometimes as their gills can't gather all they need.
that's an echo of the "betta vase' and it is bad, it kills fish. don't do it.
That mango is called เขียวเสวย (kiew-sa-weui), meaning green eat (as in delicious or gourmet), in Thailand. It's very mild in flavor but very meaty, long, and big. You can find it imported at Vietnamese or Southeast Asian grocery stores in Summer. (Pan Asia and Hiep Thai have it.)
It looked like there was no pesky seed in the big, beautiful mango!
Likely to be fake, going by the "I love China" shirt. Tends to be subtle propaganda/a scam in some way.
Some mangoes have very thin seeds. They're way less annoying to eat.
So what was the cost of building your homestead/ epic garden? What % came from yourself and what % was from the firm investors you partnered with to buy a family owned seed company?
100% of the money to build the homestead came from my own pocket, feel free to check the Reddit post for my response as well. That video is fear mongering and misleading
I've heard on BBC Gardeners Question Time that people can use wool for a slug deterrent. . how long it takes to break down, but it seems like it would be a nice cozy blanket to warm the soil. You guys could do a collab with Right Choice Shearing. Katie and Darien have to shear a lot of sheep whose wool is not good for textiles.
Dude. I need that thinner tool. I have three apple trees and I'm just lazy enough to use this thing.
According to google Black Diamond Apples are actually real. Its just that they are rare, difficult to grow and near impossible to export out of China where they are viewed as an extreme luxury gift.
They're also not true black but a deep plum purple and supposedly incredibly sweet and rich tasting.
Been following you for years and I am always inspired and learn so much from your videos and book. Cheers from Costa Rica!
There is someone I follow who uses wool in their seed starting mix for soil blocking.
And they say necessity is the mother of invention.
Totally enjoyed this video! Thanks!
The whole egg shell thing while bad, you CAN use eggshells well in the garden. Bake em and grind them up. They won't exactly help your plants but worms and other bugs LOVE eggshell bits above anything else to use to grind down food. They make bugs happy that make compost and break down nutrients for you and those eggshells will eventually be added to their frass over time. Watching worm and bug bins cameras on youtube can teach a lot about the ecology of soil. Ground shells are feeding your helper bugs, not your plants!
Resusing old water bottles like that in garden is never good idea. That kind of plastic is not meant to be out in UV or used beyond its one time use for water. It starts breaking down and you get chemicals and microplastics in your garden.
we already have microplastics and chemicals on our blood. it's not the end of the world, we will all die miserable anyway
Is it wrong that I have a crazy crush on Jacque?!? I just love his laugh!!
A lot of small family farms that grow Christmas trees would love to have an affordable contraption that makes trimming 8 foot trees as easy as that boxwood.
Saturday tea post-gardening with my favorite boys! Let's go!
Love the video as always, I just wish all the hacks you review would be home garden focused as the average lay-gardener has no access to or use for the industrial contraptions/processes.
I've seen other videos of those mulchers and they are so cool 😮 sometimes they grind the trees in place, no need to take the tree down first
This was really fun. I've got a species Rhododendron that is in need of water about every three days. I've been looking for a hack. The sponge in the water bottle is a great idea.
In my family, we are the suburban kids. But our cousins are the farmers and ranchers and almost all of them have invented machinery of some kind (or another invention) that makes their jobs easier. The level of innovation is amazing and from what I've observed from a distance even, that kind of mindset starts when they are very small. Successful American farmers are some of the most creative, intelligent innovators and problem solvers in history, and don't get enough credit for what they do. (So when they sound an alarm or make a complaint about something, yes, even political, we should listen to them).
This was so entertaining
Thank you guys❤️❤️
Wool is used in Norway for growing food in gardens
Thank you for putting me in such a good mood on a Monday morning! 🙏🏼
Yeah, eggshells unless you dry them out, grind them up and treat them with vinegar. They are not bioavailable unless you have some really good living soil they can break it down, but even that takes a while. Sprouted seed tea sprouted seed.Tea

So the spiral hack is more for starting seeds so that the seedlings are easy to pull apart and then plant wherever you want them. I’ve never seen someone actually put that spiral in a pot, but maybe that’s to help with moisture?
