    I'd like to thank you John on multiple fronts - first most importantly my lil sister has colitis and your videos and advice has changed her life. She couldn't find any foods that wouldn't make her sick. Now, she's got energy a couple more pounds - she still struggles to get enough daily calories on the (mostly) fruits ad veggies she eats or juices. So thank you sir! Secondly you've made me a better gardener. last summers haul of cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, etc showed me that organic growing is not only environmentally friendly but yields, flavor, even smell has jumped exponentially. I'm on the east coast and getting some of the more obscure organic supplies is a little tough locally (support your local businesses!!) but i made it work last year. So, again than you John for sharing an amazing breadth of knowledge with the world! Dan.

    Anyway bought my lumber yesterday, thinking today was going to be pleasant outside, but it is snowing out! Tired of this winter weather already. I was collecting my garden blocks in February! In order to be ready for spring weather for building my garden system.

    I bought my lumber for my new main raised bed, yesterday. Last year i made an 8x8 hugelkultur style raised bed but didn't really place any stable barrier around it, this year I am building raised bed border around it using raised bed garden blocks with tongue and groove so no screws or nails. Just slide lumber between the blocks and I can make it modular to add on later. This year am cutting out a section turning it into horseshoe shape so i can access from all sides without stepping into the bed itself. Will lose some growing space, but I think it will be better. I then will have a set of 3 4x4 beds at each corner with walking space between main bed and the outer beds and space to roll the wheelbarrow. I also want to make each corner bed into a cold frame bed as I live near Detroit. We will see how it all works out. My thought is if I make the beds hugelkultur style it will allow for the beds to keep moisture from rain water alone, and if I need to do a supplemental watering here and there, thats fine.

    Nice garden. You could make green juice for days without stoping. I have never seen so many greens in one garden. You need to move to a bigger property.

  • @ajthegardener

    Since u re-use ur beds u might want to stay away from the soil mixes with perlite and look into using lava stone. Perlite breaks down long term and terms to concrete in your beds at the bottom and will mess your beds up in the long run. And with lava rock for aeration it works better for aeration and helps with bio life and when it breaks down turns to nutrients not concrete. Other than that the garden looks great man.

    "Strawberry Spinach leaves taste better than real spinach". Lies! They taste just like lambsquarters. Acceptable spinach substitute when cooked, downright unappetizing raw.
    I've been seeking good summer spinach alternatives for 10 seasons now. By far the best substitute is Kang Kong (Ipomoea aquatica) if you want raw leaves. No bitterness, loves hot weather. Crunchy stems. John mentions rooting ones he purchased from an Asian market, but you can get hundreds of seeds for less than $1 shipped on eb*y.
    John, I may have missed it, but I don't recall you ever growing Tyfon Holland Greens. Massive leaf production, mild flavor, baby leaves good raw, large leaves great cooked. Great for intensive production in small gardens.
    Edit: cat tax at 38:39.
