    Great video! My area of California gets very little rain and has hot dry summers, so woodchips are a must! Big shoutout to Tuck! Never get tired of watching him crunch into a carrot! ✌🐶🥕

      ​@@omegamale7880 Now that the words out about wood chips it's getting hard to find them. I have been exparamenting with hay and straw. and having good success. I grew potatoes in it this year and had great resualts. 9 pounds Yukon golds from just 4 plants. 22 to go. I cover my beds in it for winter. Do a search on "Ruth Stout gardening method" I love to try new methods of gardening. Good luck!

    You and so many others have helped me and my partner see that this is such an amazing way to live.
    We have decided to buy 120 acres of rainforest in far north Queensland, Australia.
    I've been following you for a few months now. And I'm loving your gardening method of wood mulch.
    I know it's a long winded message.
    But thank you so much for your content. You are a dead set legend! Much love from AUSTRALIA!

Just finished a 10 hour stint in my fledgling Food Forest and couldn't have asked for a better way of spending my Sunday. 6, 40 cubic yard loads of chips have been dropped off and I'm not even close to being done yet.

    I've been enjoying your videos. I know we all have our issues in the garden, and mine is water, or lack of! So I really enjoy seeing gardens that have good rainfall, and what can be achieved.
    My dogs eat the fruit off the trees, the veg, the strawberries, feijoas! Anything they can get their paws on! They agree with Tuck, gardens are great :)

    When to water is a great topic. Our customers ask this all the time. We help as much as we can with advise much like your own. What new gardeners need to learn is that they will develop a sense of when to water the garden. It' kind of like you say observe and listen to what the garden is telling you

    Another great video James! I used to water all the time but it makes such good sense to not have your plants get accustomed to always getting watered, they has to send out those roots in search of water thus making a stronger plant! Tuck was so cute I seen him running around so it was so cute to see he was on a mission to get his carrot 🥕. Thanks for your video

  • @lucasgrowsbestyt
    @lucasgrowsbestyt 5 років тому +3

    James, by not watering as much you force the plants to search for water deep down in the soil thereby creating a larger, stronger root system to pick up more water and nutrients in the future. Kind of like how not spoiling your kids all the time can push them to have more motivation and a successful future. It also reduces the chance of disease which thrives on moisture. This is my thought process behind not watering as much, and I found once I did this my tomatoes grew faster! Now I stick my finger in the soil and if I don't feel much moisture, I water. I just want to say you are very skilled at getting the information and knowledge in your mind out in your videos. It is often challenging for me to do this off the cuff, but I aspire to be able to. Changing for the better is difficult but I'm learning all the time about gardening, video-making, and life through trial and error, researching and watching videos from inspiring people and gardeners like yourself. I'm not just saying this stuff to be nice or to get attention. I'm saying this because I truly mean it and I just want you to know I'm rooting for ya buddy! ✌
    P.S. I swear I just started making a video yesterday on the top watering mistakes in the garden! Crazy timing!

I gotta water my plants everyday, otherwise they are going to die out.. I planted my fruit plants in pots since i my front yard is too small to plant fruit trees on the ground.

    Down here in northern Alabama everyone uses pine straw as a much. Mostly because everyone is afraid of termites and the soil is dense clay. I removed all the pine straw from around my apple trees and replaced with wood much early this spring and ive noticed a huge difference. It really is incredible how much moisture the wood much holds.

    @nmnate 5 років тому

    We get about 14 inches of rain per year so I definitely irrigate here. Usually every 3 days during the hottest times of the year. The larger trees will probably slowly get changed to 1-2x per week once they're a bit more mature. Our plants always do way better on rainwater. I'm probably going to have to plumb up some rainbarrels to the drip irrigation to make full use of it.

    If you want to do a baby/ tiny garden/ mini garden with recycled containers from regular stuff what would you start with? If this is too much as a question and or not an area you want to go into, completely understand. Am simply amazed at all the incredibly splendid and curiously wonderful foods coming out of your garden. Your four legger is funny. Thank you for making these "live excerpts"-- your attitude is very cheerful and practical. You make things seem very easy, and yet know it's a lot of very hard work and discipline and dedication. It's obvious it's your passion and that you love it....

    Love your videos! Tuck reminds me of my cat Bella. She loves the garden and thinks it is hers. She rolls around in my carrots and eats all the baby cucumbers she can reach. I learn a lot watching her in the garden. Keep up the good work, James!

    My little girl is a Yorkie/Pomeranian mix (Lilly Ann). She loves to be out in the garden with me as well. She is obsessed with the sugar snap peas which are her favorite, but she also loves the carrots and cucumbers too. She hasn't learned how to dig them up on her own.....she waits for me to pick them for her. She will be 10 years old in November of this year. 💜

    Thanks James! I have some questions about your tomato stakes. How long is the bamboo you use? How far do you put it into the ground? And from where do you purchase it? I've tried several ways of staking and supporting tomatoes this year as I prune to single stem. This video made me realize I love your bamboo stakes the best.

    We averaged around 21 inches in central eastern SD. 8 inches in western SD increasing as you move east. Between the Rocky Mountains, the Big Horns and the Black Hills it dries us up.

    Hey James put my woodchips down early this year and found that here in Texas that the sun heat radiates off the woodchips and is burning my trees. So next year im goinh to cover the groubd around the trees with vine veggies such as cucumbers, squash and melons to keep the chips shaded and not reflecr up on the trees. Learning somethinh new all the time. Thanks for your passion.....Jeff👍

    Great point Sepp Holzer made was to not water lettuce or other plants during the day when they are wilting. I know it's tempting, but his point was that the plant naturally wilts to converse water and it's a natural process. I listened to him and sure enough my lettuce livened up by the next morning just fine. I think the key is to key observing to notice if the wilting is constant or just a cycle with the sun. Constant shows a need for water and maybe more mulch. Cycle with the sun is fine as is.
    By the way, love Tuck xo
