I put down cardboard and then put grass clipping on top. I works well, especially in an HOA neighborhood like mine.
Epic teaching as always Nate!! Best garden channel on the tube...
Have you ever watched Garden Fundamentals? Both are very good.
Thanks Nate, no danger of the sun cracking the ground here, I've a couple of inches of seaweed from the top end of the beach, it had plants growing out of it, the only problem is it's full of plastic pieces, from toy cars to lollipop sticks, sad, I piled about another 2 inches of good horse manure on top of it with shredded hedge clippings from a golf course to protect the mulch below, there's definitely an improvement from last year. I add JMS once a month roughly and compost teas every week and slug solution every night with fish hydrolysate, those pesky slugs are relentless here, neighbour's putting in a full patio to help them cross into my garden.
Does your garden smell more like the sea after using the seaweed?
@@alexkunnen no not at all, it smelt like a damp forest for the first week with the shredded hedge chippings but that's gone now, the soil is lovely and damp under them when you put your hands in to plant stuff, I've got wild pheasants that come in and hoke for bugs creeping about in the mulch.
I also use grass clippings. I go to my local lawn mowing company. And they are more than happy to give me tarp, after tarp of grass, clippings. Give that a try.
Great video! Just got a bale of straw today for my garden.🇭🇺
Thanks, Nate, for the Many lessons on gardening!
Great video, as always, beautyfull garden ! Thanks
Beautiful Garden! and So informative! You can save your precious garden with mulch!
Another excellent video, thank you!
This is great! I already use mulch on the beds. Now you have encouraged me to use it to keep the paths clean. Plus I learned that if I put organic mulch down in mid-season, I could better handle the weed pressure. Thanks Nate.
Nice and informative, love the format. I’m forwarding your video to my dad who was just commenting on many cracks in his garden due to lack of rain.
I agree brother. Hit it hard. 🤣
Great info!! 🎉 Thanks for sharing and about the too big leaves on your sweet potatos.... Not sure if you are aware of it but it is said that the leaves are very high on nutrients.. higher even than the potatoes itself 😉.... Might wanna look it up 🙏
Also if weeds start to poke through they are much easier to pull thanks for another great video!
very true!
I'm concerned with finding straw that isn't loaded with seeds and or herbicide. Thanks for great vid.
That was a huge transformation Nate. LOOKING GOOD. Next time grass is mowed, I'll be sure to get some clippings for the onions. Happy we tried the Brandywine and Galahad. Sorrel is new to us too. Green leaf variety. Lemon pepper flavor. It tastes amazing in salads. Spreads so it's in a planter.
You got quite the vibration going brother, I’m so happy for you & proud of you too! Plz carry on my friend & thank you so much for this knowledge drop & wisdom share, stellar as always! 🙏🏻❤️🐝
thank you for the positive energy as always my friend!!
Thanks for the knowledge my Viking friend! Learning and growing every day. Hope you and yours are having a great 4th of July :)
💚💚💚🌺 beautiful 🥰🥰🥰 At want point do we add mulch to areas where we have sowed seeds? Do we wait till they are about a foot tal!? Thanks for these amazing videos. My fav garden channel. Love it!
It depends on the size of the seed. The bigger the seed, the more energy it has to go through soil and mulch. Small seeds like onion seeds can't be mulched before they grow. Massive "seeds" like potato tubers can go through thick mulch.
@@tomatito3824 thanks so much💚
Nice hobby ❤
Thank you!
Thanks!
I use garden straw to mulch everything and it has worked wonders in every way you say! Keeps thing in containers warm in the winter too. But it doesn't add nitrogen like the grass clippings. Looks like I must invest in a mower that collects these as well as chops deciduous leaves so I can use them in the gardens. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and advice. It confirms, affirms and inspires us consistently!
thank you my friend and yes the ability to bag grass clippings and leaves is one of the finest investments for the organic gardener!!
Thankyou
❤ Thanks.
Thank you Nate- your video motivates me to check those mulch levels in the garden tonight. And we just had rain, so keeping an eye out for those weeds too.
I just just started more vegetable and flower seeds to replacewhat is done producing, and fill in any empty spots. @GardenLikeaViking what seeds are you starting this time of year? Much appreciate your info👍
Lettuce get right into it
would it be possible to do a jadam style fertilizer using just humanure and leaf mold fungi? would it be nutritious? and how long before it could be used?
I live in central florida , i used arborist chips from chip drop and chop and drop from the garden because thats what's available. Do you have an experience with this?
Eh Nate, you should consider doing a video on irrigation.
drip irrigation?
Hi Nate, thank you for this video! We till every spring and trying to see if it can be avoided. Could I apply a thick layer of leaves in the garden in the fall and not grow weeds for the next years garden? Or would I have to save the leaves and reapply the fall leaves to the garden in the spring time again?
yes thats one of the best methods for mulching actually is to just pile leaves a foot thick and let it settle and decompose over the winter then in the spring time plant right into the soil beneath the leaves... there's pros and cons for sure and I'll talk about them today on the livestream... thank you!!
@@gardenlikeavikingI can’t wait to listen to it while gardening today! Thank you as always Nate for the awesome content!
Is the strav clean from poision
Once I sent the photo of cucumber with rice straw mulch, He adviced me don't use straw mulch. It stuns plant growth. Can you explain me?
Conversations at my house.
Me: onions need more grass clipping mulch.
Him: I'm doing a chop and drop for lawns because WE no longer use anything on the lawn for a better compost.
Him: I need room. Garlic everywhere.
Me: Will a few beets and carrots be okay?
Him: Nice beets and carrots but I don't have room to walk.
Nate. We have a beautiful garden. Many kinds of veggies. Plenty of mulch. Your cabbage look grand and your garden is great.
Our Brandywine and Galahad, few tennis ball size toms.
👍👍👍
Question Nate. Not with mulch. But something is cutting my ginger at soil level.and it's a clean cut at 45 degree angle. Smooth cut. Looks clean like a knife. Any idea?
I think that is chipmunks. They clean cut my apple tree seedling the same way. I was so mad. It was a year old and looking strong 😢
Used local straw, it had a lot of grass seed so now we are still weeding. Grrrr. Should have asked about grass seed when purchased. Life and learn!
yes sometimes they set the combine too shallow and leave lots of the wheat seeds left... try to inspect the straw to see if its pure thats what I do
Have you tried Potassium Hydroxide on soft bodied worms/bugs? Would it have the same effect as the Sodium Hydroxide? thanks
I have not tried that because there has never been a need to experiment outside of the way I was taught because its so effective as it is... try it but I reckon it might damage the plant or not dissolve the pest
Hey Nate - any concern with layering on grass clippings too thick? Or is it if it’s done once the plants are already established it doesn’t really matter
there's always an upper limit but grass clippings can be as deep as 6-8 inches if they are somewhat dried out because too much fresh clippings will start to rot and can get very hot and lots of molds on them... but for the most part you can apply the grass pretty thick once they are established I have several inched deep on my onions
Would All vegetables do well with grass clippings or should I avoid some plants?
Good for all
What about seaweed mulch? I used it straight from the beach last year, and this year my plants are going gangbusters. I didn't wash off the salt. It's kinda rainy here so salt retention is not a big worry in my soil
seaweed mulch is wonderful if you have access to it and don't do it too thick!
I am having a hard time finding hay that has not been sprayed by Herbicides here in Ky. There's tons of hay farms all around my county but all of them spray 😭 Does anyone know if the straw from tractor supply is ok??
I would say a big no from TSC. Plus, you wouldn't want your dollars to go to drag shows. TSC recently backpedaled but I don't care.
The chemtrails in the UK are on a different level
You don't worry about the seeds in the grass clippings?
As long as you keep the grass mowed it shouldn't have seed stalks
It has not seemed to be an issue for me. definitely some grass growing but I couldn’t say whether thats from the grass clippings or blew over. I think the grass seed need more time before theyre actually viable
@alexkunnen Awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
You forgot, wood mulch, or wood shaving but gets expensive
i have plenty of straw around me but no one seems to know if they’re sprayed w any nasty chemicals. any suggestions?
Same here
If you don’t know assume it has been
@@alexkunnen my thoughts exactly
Learn from my mistake: I used an excessive level of leaves topped with arborist chips. I suspect this has caused most of my issues this year. The leaves or chips brought in some pest and slugs... or I left them a buffet and they thought it was an invitation. The beer traps and slug solution have mitigated the infestation, but I've got nothing growing this year, no weeds, but no produce... uggh
what!??... have you posted pictures to the discord of this?... I'd like to see them so tag me... but yes definitely the wood chips on top and the leaves on bottom I've done the same and it actually suffocates the ground it seems
Why is it that the sweet potato leaves too big? I am still learning.
because it indicates there's a lot of fertility in the soil and sweet potatoes will produce big leaves but very small tubers if there's too much fertility
Was she on that pause on purpose? 😜
lol......
Barefooten...my dogs need to breath baby!
I have a big issue with termites destroying the grass
