      Walmart is trash that's why they are beating people out. Child labor, treats their employees like utter trash, and made some remarkable new comments. Boycott Walmart. Love YOUR channel though

      @growingyourgreens thanks for sharing! I'm in Chicago and my local Wal-Marts don't usually have these products until about May, which is late for me. I do usually have luck with Lowes or Menards clearance around this time.
      Hopefully I can luck up!!

    @3:10 Actually, the bottom part that is black is used as a top to help keep humidity in! The secret is to get a bunch of them and you can use the bottom black part as a top to keep humidity, then when they start sprouting and don’t need an extra top use it as a water bin. I think these are extraordinarily useful and flexible for multiple uses. Also thank you John for all of the work that you do. You have touched so many people’s lives and helped from afar! I deeply appreciate your spirit of giving

    I will have to go over and look around. I do buy an item that Walmart you didn't talk about it's Ferry Morris clay coated carrot seeds. No thinning down the seeds. I would say 75 to 80% germination. The clay balls are radish seed size. You get around 100 seeds for $2.50. I am not buying from them this year. I need to plant more carrots and I wanted a wintering carrot. I ordered from Johnny seeds
    The neem oil listed in the video is good for 2 years. I bought a small bottle. This sells out early in the season.
    Great video! Remember boogie brew has great products!

    Used the half Jiffy starting and half worm castings that study you cited recommended - had better luck with my seedlings in Happy Frog. But that's just my experience. Thanks for all your great videos and keep up the good work. Hope your legal woes with the channel are over.

    • @devinsullivan7233
      @devinsullivan7233 11 годин тому +1

      Ocean forest is great for starting seeds and for any size plant. Trust me I grow fruits and vegetables for a living. I’ve been using ocean forest for 17 years. For seedlings and for potted plants. There is no other potting soil that is as good or as consistent as ocean forest.

    • @davidbryden7904
      @davidbryden7904 Годину тому +2

      ​@devinsullivan7233 Ocean Forest can burn some seedlings, and it tends to have fungus gnats, so I don't like to use it indoors. By the time my starts had germinated, I had gnats all over the house. 😢

    Thanks for sharing this info about Walmart carrying more organic gardening products. I was my local Walmart about 3 weeks ago and cruised the garden section. Lo and behold...they had a lot of organic products! I was excited they had Azomite. I bought several organic gardening items. I bought the Burpee seed starter trays. I thought what a great design concept. I used the seed trays for my seedling starts today. I like the compact size so they don't take up a lot of room on my grow station shelf. Also, I like the bottom flat that catches the water after watering the seedlings. I've read quite a few online comments where people say the plastic cracks easily, especially the handles, and the trays don't last long. Guess time will tell.

    I noticed that my Walmart has a low cost worm casting option. Their garden section is better than other big box places. My problem with all of the big box stores is that they have their seeds and display out in spring. Our dry season. The fall and winter are our garden season.

  • @ikreate4u

    Great video! I have mixed feelings about promoting Walmart because the small businesses struggle due to them but honestly as a fellow gardener on a tight budget, I have been shopping there more frequently recently. Around the holidays they improved their garden center and products so much that I was also very impressed with much of what you showed here. Thanks for all of the helpful tips. Especially tge reminder about wearing a mask for the DE applications. I often don’t despite the warnings and you example is valuable to make me take it more seriously. I will be trying some more of your recommendations soon. ❤

    Hi John, Greetings from Arizona. I'm still hoping you'll come visit Arizona again sometime. To save money, I just use the black trays with the clear lids that food comes in from the market to start my seeds in.
    Costco has the Dr. Earth Gold all-purpose fertilizer - 25 lbs for $22.99.
    Earth Science Worm Casting is $12.99 for 12lbs.
    May you walk in beauty always!

    At Walmart in San Marcos, CA, the shopping carts stop working a little way into the parking lot. The wheels automatically lock now. So it is very difficult to transport bags of soil and products to cars as before it was never an issue. I went to HD.

    I bought the burpee seed trays this year. They are really nice. I didn’t need the dome time because we have enough humidity in our area. I have used Jiffy seed starter for years. My only problem is there is none on the shelves in July when you are seed starting for the fall and winter. So I have to keep some in stock. Thanks!

    I was making iced tea adding in whole cloves and boiling it until the water had a little color. Strained out the cloves and putting them in a small bowl. Just left them on the counter out of the way. Normally I get a lot of fruit flies in summer with tomatoes all over. Not this last year! I think I had less than a dozen… cheap try especially since I used them first. Year before I used cheap wine and caught thousands!

  • @devinsullivan7233
    @devinsullivan7233 12 годин тому

    Walmart here in Northern California doesn’t sell Alaska fish fertilizer. Only Lowe’s and Home Depot sell it but the price has tripled over the past decade. I would beg to differ that fish hydrolysate is better than fish emulsion. Fish emulsion is much better for plants that are growing in the ground because it has a lot more solids and so it feeds microbes slot better and has a better slow release.

    The Alaska fish fertilizer (based on my research) potentially has heavy metals (mercury, etc). Do your own research -but I live in alaska and I do not use this product

    I refuse to purchase anything from Walmart. I don't care if I have to spend more money or make my own homemade items.

    Organics is kind of a scam... Not only many products are way overpriced for what they deliver, but also there are
    many synthetic chemicals allowed to be called "organic", for instance copper sulfate for fighting fungi,
    potassium and epsom sulfate as fertilizers, the list goes on and on... Plus, there are a bunch of
    snake oil salesmen pushing their unicorn dust products, when many of them are almost useless.
    Dont get me wrong, organic agriculture is a first necessary step towards an agriculture less dependent
    on synthetics, but still there's a long way to go before people are educated and become able to sort
    the wheat from the chaff.
