I love all of your videos. Thank you for providing such valuable information. I don’t know if you ever knew a Bruce Asakawa. Not sure of the spelling, but I used to listen to him in the 90s. I learned everything from him. I don’t know whatever happened to him but I am glad that you have these videos posted.
Hi Gary, I love your videos and could you do videos of growing mangoes and avocado from cuttings, I see a lot of fake videos on UA-cam, I love the way you teach us and I trust you
I don't have a green thumb by any means. I came to growing plants, fruiting veggie, and decorative following the accepted science (nitrogen cyclt etc). I made my own compost, lots of compost. I even tried the charsoil route making my own charcoal. I made compost tea. I hunted down chicken manure from farms. And every vegetable plant I grew was just disappointing to put it lightly, stunted cucumbers, barely any tomatoes, lettuce wilted, barely a bean grew. The only plants that did well were a couple of herbs dill n basil. However my avocado tree are still alive and well perhaps as a result of the recent typhoon that fell the trees and i had to chainsawthem back but wow great comeback. Mango sprouted by accident on my part. SO NOW here we are and Gary is essentially saying everything I've been doing following accepted practice is wrong. That really answers the question why my last 5 years with plants have been a failure. My orchids are doing ok. It's the only plant ibasically ignore.
@@steelmaster73or make your own. Price can vary wildly though. His mix is basically a very slow degrading organic like coco or peat at around 30-35% the rest is volcanic rocks of different sizes some sand 10% and 5% Biochar. Use what rock you can get locally if his mix is not available and inoculate/charge the Biochar before mixing it in or cut it out all together.
Thank you again Gary 🙏 ? I’m growing dragon fruit using a similar make up of soil as top pot using floranova grow, flora micro and flora blend. ? Being should I add cal mag supplement?? Just don’t want my dragons being Cal/mag deficient. I guess I should say I’m using RO/distilled water as I don’t know what 325ppm in my city water. Plus I don’t want chlorinated water killing off my beneficial bacteria 🦠 😊
I've just discovered your videos, Gary❤ and I am so very grateful for the these master classes! However...is there a fountain next to your camera or a fan or something that is causing that static sound????? I'm having a hard time hearing and listening and it is all such important info.... Thamknypu again for posting these
I talked to a farmer once who told me that one cubic centimeter of charcoal has the same surface area as a football field. He said charcoal has an incredible number of holes like swiss cheese that are one molecule thick hence the surface area which acts as a storage area for nutrients.
I'm in 9b north of the Bay area and our humidity in summer is seldom less than 50% and often 60% 70% sometimes plus. Does high humidity affect watering?
I'm wondering if there is a source of information about which plant has more oxygen needed and which one is not much. Now I understand why my tomato plants were thriving in clay soil. Cucumber, melon, watermelon are not so much
@@hippiecolleen1352 no , he’s selling his product ( soil ) and telling you some bs , my gram is as old as him and says the term was around back in the day , she is from the south he is not 🤷🏽♂️
One of Gary’s Best Gardening videos. Fantastic 👍👏👏👏

I enjoy that “side” knowledge that you throw in here and there. So anyway… great information, as always. Thank you.
This is just gold on gardening, learned so much, 🙏

Thank you again Gary 🙏

So if it gets warmer what happens
I get great education from you but what the point if I’m unable to get your product in my area - it casts me over $70 for shipping
you def can overwater , some plants dont like wet feet and its been proven , but this guys info otherwise is gold
Your not listening,if donr right with. Correct soil....they never have wet feet no matter how much you water......

If you divide 450 by 1,000,000 you get .0004. That's four ten tousandth percent. Correct me if wrong.
Percent means per hundred. If 450 per 1,000,000, it will be 0.045%
Gary with the fuckin conspiracies. Prove the climate scientists wrong and get a noble prize.
You have no idea how the world works do you.
