****THANK YOU BLACK COW **** Hollis and Mrs Nancy have been a great help to us and future generations of growers. I also have used your product for many years 👍
Same here! It seems a little clay-heavy, but the plants seem to do well with it. I try to use my own compost, but I just can't seem to generate enough. Black Kow is a great supplement!
So happy for you that Black Kow has sponsored your channel and supplied you with all of that manure. You certainly have been faithful with its use in past videos and as I was setting up my raised beds I used exactly the same products. Here’s to a successful garden.
Mr. Hollis, now that you lost weight, when the scene of you getting off the cart to dump leaves, I said "who is that kid who's helping them out?" Thank you for the videos Nancy and Hollis!
Man,the amount of work and dedication, not to mention money and resources, this takes is unbelievable. Thank you so much for what you do and for your love of gardening. Your channel is truly underrated. You are, as far as I can tell, the only start to finish, one video gardening UA-cam channel out there. You have taught me a great deal, and I especially thank you for spreading the love of gardening to millions of people. For me, gardening is not only a way to get fresh, organic, backyard-grow nutritious food, but more than that it’s therapy. So thank you for what you do and God bless you and your family.
So glad you liked the video❤️❤️❤️. Stay tuned, lots of gardening videos coming now. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. Have a peaceful weekend
That was a LOT of work. Amazing job! I got so excited when you dumped the leaves! They sure do make a huge difference in building soil fertility. I admire your work ethic. I can't wait to see some beautiful veggies growing in your garden. Good luck!
I just watched the video and from the first second I had a smile. The progress on the homestead is awesome to see. Hollis and Nancy videos just feel good for some reason you can’t explain.
So glad to hear that. That is very important to us. Stay tuned, we will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of this year (2020). I think the best is yet to come❤️
I really appreciate how authentic you two are in all your videos, nothing seems like it's read from a script, rather you explain from experience, and that's what I'm looking for! Also my favorite part of each video is Nancy at the end with her sweet "have a blessed daaayyyy!"
Thank you Daniel. It has definitely been challenging. The garden complex is coming together nicely now. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of this year showing the garden complex coming to life including vegetable growing videos 👍
I’ve have been binge watching all your VDO’s all week. I can tell, you really love what you do. I love how you are so informative! I also look forward to seeing your little doggie too. 🐶
I love that you have a a sponsor, Black Cow! I have followed y'all for years and excited you moved to my home state. I started with sand too. I found it easier to keep layering. If I have to till, it is only a few inches to pull out the weeds, otherwise the sand keeps rising to the top after the rains. I use mushroom compost followed by pine bark mulch. It's magical in the garden. God bless. I can't wait to see more.
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned, lots of gardening videos coming now. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️
Good on Black Kow for the donation of their fine product. Your channel’s tutorials are what taught me about the benefits of Black Kow-me, and from the comments below, lots of other folks. So it’s sort of like payback. Been using it for years now and have reaped many benefits. Your new garden bed is coming right along!
P.S. I love you all. I appreciate you sharing your faith with us. I recently found your channel and I love it! I have gotten so many ideas and learned a lot.
Tough getting a garden started to begin with, but nothing but sand makes it harder. Your off to a good start and yes, that was a very generous donation. My garden here was nothing but a sand bed. At the time I was working on a dairy farm and I put about 6 yards of the oldest stuff I could in between my growing rows for years. For the past 4 years, I have been using the Back To Eden method, plus I add worm castings that I produce during the planting time. Now that I have rabbits, I have that available too. Good to see you all working a garden again. Love and blessings to you both.
Sounds like your garden soil is coming along beautifully! We are working on getting rabbits for our homestead too. I am really looking forward to the rabbit manure fertilizer !!!👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead took a long time getting there, but I had determination to grow for my family. You will be amazed at how well rabbit manure works. Are you fishing down in Fl. so that you can use that too? My plan up here in Maine is to take my boat out as soon as the ice is gone and fish for trash fish to use when I set out a punch of plants. Many blessings to you both.
I too garden in Florida, about 80 miles south of you. I am amending the sand as well like you but adding vermiculite, coir fiber and 10-10-10 fertilizer in addition to the peat and Black Cow. I amend the soil in sections and grow in beds and containers until I eventually have the whole garden amended.
I’ve used Black Kow many years while gardening, however since my heart attack and open heart surgery in 1916 I’ve had to give it up. But can’t speak highly enough about Black Kow Manure, you doing it right Hollis and to be able to get them as a sponsor is absolutely AWESOME. Best there is out there in the market, congratulations Hollis and Nancy!!!
I really dig y'all's channel. And I REALLY dig how you glorify God- it puts all this into perspective. Those of us who love the Lord need to be as grateful as possible- and y'all display that gratitude. Thank you. 👍🙏
I’m sooo excited that you’re back in the garden!👏🤗I’ve watch all of your videos from your last place. You are the best! Thank you! God Bless!😘from Canada
Thanks for hanging with us Pamela❤️. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. Stay tuned, lots of videos on the garden complex
Thanks for hanging with us. The best is yet to be. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of this year. Lots of gardening videos coming including growing vegetables 👍👍
I also use black kow manure and have occasionally had problems with it burning my plants when mixed directly into the soil and planted a few days later. Recently, I tried a new method that seems to be working. I used this method both in containers and in raised gardens. In the bottom of the container, I put a 4 inch layer of compost, followed by a 4 inch layer of black kow. Then I added my soil mixture which was made using equal parts of old potting soil, new potting soil, black kow, peat moss, and top soil. I also added a small amount of trace minerals, some bone meal, some Epson salt, and some blood meal. Not only does it not burn the plants, but the plants are dark green, strong, and fruiting early.
Oh Hallelujah! Great job Black Kow! I love your product and I learned about it from Hollis, so it is great that you have sponsored them for this. Yay, so happy for Hollis and Nancy! I have shared your channel name so many times with other Homesteading channels, I just love your channel. I pray that your subscriber numbers are coming up, sharing is caring.
Having had to amend my soil quite a bit I would recommend that you do 30 bags of peat spring and fall! Add manure at the same times. It will make a huge difference in about half the time.
Thank you Hollis, Nancy, and Bing Bing, Another great video, and a great start to my day! God bless you for your thoughtfulness and sharing. Hollis, I think your OCD has its advantages. God bless and stay blessed, Amen!
I'm glad to see the garden is coming to life! My wife and I love you both and we enjoy learning and growing with y'all! Much love from Texas! Oh one more thing ....Hollis, Buddy we gotta get you a tractor!!!
We are so glad you and your wife enjoy our videos. That warms our heart❤️❤️❤️. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of this year (2020). I think y’all will enjoy them. Best of luck to you with your garden this year! Yep, I need me a tractor 👍. We are saving up for one but I will have to work with what I have until then💪
Smart of Black Cow. Very good product. Gardeners friend. I have grown veggies in Florida for years. It is a huge effort to deal with the sand - especially if you want to stay away from man made fertilizer. It is worth the hard work. Good soil means healthy garden.
It is a really big challenge. Im doing my garden in ground and between the root knots, pests of all kind, the non stop rain we'll get, makes me wonder why i still push forward at it lol
I also live in Florida and I can confirm that the "soil" here is not the most desirable. I will be moving to some land at the end of the year for now I'm just container gardening.
I'm so glad I found you again! I watched you for a couple of years and then lost you when you moved to Fl. I appreciate your love of gardening and have learned so much from you!
God bless you! I am overwhelmed just looking at the space. It's great but I can see it's a ton of work. May God strengthen you both. Looking forward to the next three years of gardening at your awesome homestead!
I occasionally used black kow but since watching your videos I use it to amend everything! Once I started using it for seedlings using your seed starter recipe it did wonders!! Thank you
I'm in south Tx ..while my garden is not even close to your size I have been using leaves(mulched)veggie scraps..ash..and either fresh manure or bag. Area I live in is sandy too..its taken yrs to get fairly good soil..lol lots of work..but feel blessed when get good produce..thank you both for your videos. I missed when you all moved..God Bless ...
Thanks for watching Elizabeth. Stay tuned, we will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. I think you will get a kick out of them. Have a peaceful evening ❤️
Cannot wait to see what the end results will be like. I know the Bible says to not to be envious of others..... But I am of your little homestead. Keep up the great videos, love you guys.
So glad you moved to FL...l am in the panhandle n find it hard to find someone not in Oregon or Michigan...so I know we r talking apples to apples...thanks, love your stuff! 😁❤️👍🙏🏼💥🐓
It may be that I am of the same generation as yourselves, but I enjoy your choice of background music. Also, I am now sold on Black Kow for their generosity (if not wise marketing skills).
Thank you so being so kind. We used Black Kow for over 20 years and love it, so we alway just put in our video. A subscriber told them about us and we got sponsor by them for many of our new video by their donation of the Black Kows. We are now able to grow a lot more so we can share 3/4 of our garden with families and friend. Especially in these uncertain time. God is awesome
Always been a BLACK KOW fan but never got the mix right. You helped me see the light on this product. Just got back into gardening after 5 years.. love you info and help THANK YOU!
Check out UF IFAS Extension for information on gardening in your county. I’m in Polk County and gardening is so different. Planning for our heat is important. My growing season starts in September and is over in June. Only Sweet Potatoes, Okra and Sugar Peas grow in June July and August. Some people use shade cloth for our summer heat. Mulch is is good for reducing soil temperature. You may want to think about a well for irrigation. Good luck
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead I would love to talk with you someday. I’m from VA Beach and live in Winter Haven. My first crack in gardening was a bit disappointing. I’m doing so much better now I know our season. If you want to talk sometime. I would love to. You are doing so well Rich 863-258-5854
He loves riding in the gold carts. Now when he is riding he will leap out and chase a squirrel or anything else he sees. Don’t forget, he’s in charge of security 🐶❤️🐶
Good job on the garden. Soil preparation is the name of the game. Good video Nancy. Keep Hollis working till he gets it right. Just Kidding. You two are a good team. God Bless your endeavors.
Love your video's they are so informitive on how to grow, amend soil, making all sorts of tables, cupboards, cooking etc., a wealth of knowledge, thank you Holiis and Nancy, much blessing to you both, and to Bing Bing for keeping other things in check!
Good to see you back in the garden. I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and I’ve been waiting to see you start up your new garden. Thanks for your videos and may our Lord Bless you and keep you brother.
Thank you Darryl so much for watching and hanging with us. The wait is over. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. Lots of videos on the garden complex including growing vegetables 👍👍👍
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few months and really enjoy them. Hollis, you’re one hard working man! You keep putting the videos out and I’ll keep watching, just don’t hurt yourself ol’ buddy!
Thanks for watching Danny. Yeah, my body is catching up with my age for the last year. Injured my back, knees going bad, hips going bad, overweight, high BP, Diabetic, the list goes on and on. 😂. I have definitely had to slow down even though my mind doesn’t want to my body is calling the shots. I have been an extremely hard worker all my life so to slow down is very hard for me.
I had good luck adding grass clippings, bags of composted products and any leaves I could obtain, mixing it into the hard clay in Virginia soil. Spent biomass from the garden is also beneficial in building nitrogen in the soil. I know from experience your potash is very low from the sand, some wood ash may be helpful if it don't affect your PH.. You guys have done a lot of improvements since moving to FL.

****THANK YOU BLACK COW **** Hollis and Mrs Nancy have been a great help to us and future generations of growers. I also have used your product for many years 👍
I had to get a new phone and make a new email and UA-cam page. I was so happy when your video popped up! Last I knew, you had just moved.
I can't wait to see it all set up and everything growing good luck 🙏
Where can I found the black cow manure!?🤔 I live in Minnesota!? Anybody!!‼🤔🙏😇 Bendiciones 🙏😇‼🤠🇺🇸🇲🇽
Thanks a lot for your videos. They are very informative.

I’m glad Black Cow sponsored you. I started using their product because of you. Awesome.
You won’t regret it. It is an awesome ingredient for successful garden soil.
Same here! It seems a little clay-heavy, but the plants seem to do well with it. I try to use my own compost, but I just can't seem to generate enough. Black Kow is a great supplement!
Me too.!
Me too!
Consider some cover crops that can be tilled in to help build the soil.
So happy for you that Black Kow has sponsored your channel and supplied you with all of that manure. You certainly have been faithful with its use in past videos and as I was setting up my raised beds I used exactly the same products. Here’s to a successful garden.
We are so blessed to be sponsored by Black Kow!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I really missed watching your gardening videos. God bless you two.

Have you thought about sowing a cover crop between growing seasons? It will help feed the soil & add bio materials when you till it in after growing
In Florida our in between seasons are only 5 weeks❤️
I didn't think of that. I wasn't sure how far north or south you were either.

He loves riding in the gold carts. Now when he is riding he will leap out and chase a squirrel or anything else he sees. Don’t forget, he’s in charge of security 🐶❤️🐶
I cannot wait to see your new Garden it's so exciting God bless
I love how diligent and organized you are. God bless you both :) You have inspired me to do my own homestead.

Thank you Phil❤️❤️❤️. We are on it👍

I have purchased Black Kow in the past because I saw it on your channel.
Love your video's they are so informitive on how to grow, amend soil, making all sorts of tables, cupboards, cooking etc., a wealth of knowledge, thank you Holiis and Nancy, much blessing to you both, and to Bing Bing for keeping other things in check!
Love the methodical approach you take. I wish I was more that way
Very helpful! We are currently looking for property in FL and I will be setting a garden up.
Good to see you back in the garden. I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and I’ve been waiting to see you start up your new garden. Thanks for your videos and may our Lord Bless you and keep you brother.
Thank you Darryl so much for watching and hanging with us. The wait is over. We will be releasing two videos each week for the remainder of 2020. Lots of videos on the garden complex including growing vegetables 👍👍👍
Awesome, very interesting. Wish you two and your dog the best. Can't wait to hear from you soon.
Thank you Don. Stay tuned! We will be releasing two videos/week for the remainder of 2020👍
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few months and really enjoy them. Hollis, you’re one hard working man! You keep putting the videos out and I’ll keep watching, just don’t hurt yourself ol’ buddy!
Thanks for watching Danny. Yeah, my body is catching up with my age for the last year. Injured my back, knees going bad, hips going bad, overweight, high BP, Diabetic, the list goes on and on. 😂. I have definitely had to slow down even though my mind doesn’t want to my body is calling the shots. I have been an extremely hard worker all my life so to slow down is very hard for me.
I had good luck adding grass clippings, bags of composted products and any leaves I could obtain, mixing it into the hard clay in Virginia soil. Spent biomass from the garden is also beneficial in building nitrogen in the soil. I know from experience your potash is very low from the sand, some wood ash may be helpful if it don't affect your PH.. You guys have done a lot of improvements since moving to FL.
LOVE you Miss Nancy and Hollis too! God Bless you both. 💞 Say hi to Bing Bing.
Say hi to Bing Bing.

when u first moved to florida I thought there was snow on the ground.....took a min or two to realize it was sand. hahaha
Love the music!!! Makes it more exciting!!!!
Hollis, you should plant a cover crop of clover or vetch and till that in
Planning to do that👍❤️
