Our Raised Garden Got Invaded! + the results of our experiment...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2022
- Finally! We harvest the garden after THREE years of using our raised accessible garden boxes. This year we had some really tiny invaders coming in to sabotage our plants... Sad day for the garden... but we still managed to harvest some amazing veggies. The potatoes did GREAT along with the basil. Super fun. We enjoy this yearly project.

You should set up a couple of outdoor cameras and get a full time-lapse over the whole season, that would be pretty awesome to see.
that would be awesome indeed
Agreed, that's a pretty nice idea there 💡
yeah 👍
yes an excelent idea
not only woudl that be cool for watching the stuff grow, speed timelaps, but maybe catch some wild animals visiting? o.o
I don’t know where the carrots went. 2 minutes later you got a pony in the garden. I think I know where the carrots went. 🤣
*pony have exited the garden*
Nah, carrots were doomed due to the heat.
Carrot seeds cant dry out not even once or they wont make it.
@@buckykattnj that's what the pony wants you to think
These guys are definitely a cute family. Somehow the tech, accessibility and farming works so well.. and then you get to see the family having a great time. Love this channel.
Man watching jerry with his son and realizing i started watching this man way before he even got married makes me feel old.
Seeing a tech youtuber doing farming is fun😃
And using a tech that support the farm
He became the tech guy of Nature!
I don't know if this is satire or not
It’s surprisingly extremely enjoyable. Great work!
LTT farming when?
Omg your baby is growing up so fast! It seems like it was yesterday when we were getting garden/baby progress updates 😇
is he adopted? im just curios
@@waldirbraz5621 no🤣
@@waldirbraz5621 bro have you even watched his videos? No he isn’t adopted you doofus
@@waldirbraz5621 bro💀🗿
It feels like it was yesterday when he made that bike wheelchair for that girl and look at them now. Good stuff.
If you read the fine print, a lot of the "compostable" stuff is COMMERCIALLY compostable, which is a very different process than what you can do at home. It's subjected to much higher heat and pressure, plus it's ground up so it has a lot more surface area and degrades much more quickly. In short, everything will biodegrade much more quickly if you have a way to grind it up before you put it in the bin.
never-mind the difference between biodegradable vs compostable which are not the same at all.. .
No fancy editing no effects just pure happiness and cuteness with Jerry Jr. More videos like this please. More power!
When germinating your carrots put a shade net or something to retain moisture. The seeds are so tiny that they dry out very quickly.
Yes like a cloth bed or something like that. and try soaking them time to time.
I love how varied this channel is.
I was thinking that before... There's really no other youtuber who can go from building an electric vehicle, to seeing what's inside smartphones, to building a library in Africa, to renovating a family cabin, to home farming.
I'd even say, there's probably no other person who can do all that. This is truly one of a kind.
@@shipwreck9146 yeah
JerryrigEVERYTHING
@@shipwreck9146 Or they have ten different channels...
I don't really know how to explain this, but it so fascinating to see the amount of topics this channel brings up to its community.
We went from tech reviews, teardowns, to renewable energy, to electric cars, to the introduction of a wonderful family, to then explain all of the difficulties of disabilities and how to find workaround, to awesome projects for people with disabilities.
I have really no words on how to describe this, you are awesome, keep up the wonderful work and keep up with this wonderful family and community. Much love from Italy ❤
*novice gardener here. Two things that really improved/helped my garden was straw and diatomaceous earth. The straw helps the soil retain moister and gives the fruits and vegetables something to lay on to help prevent rot. The diatomaceous earth is great for pest bugs, it's like little razor blades to the larva and freshly hatched bugs. I sprinkle a layer of diatomaceous earth first then put straw over top.

@@premprabhakar805 Yeah! I know the story behind Jerry.. Jerry was his grandfather! But thank you

Most people don’t know his real name, so that’s why I just went for “jerryrig” because now everyone knows who and what am talking about.
@Ellis The DJ Yeah that’s true!
Don't feel bad. I had a terrible year in the garden as well. Damn skunks and grubs got me bad. It's just part of growing👍
I hope they didn't spray their stink over your garden at least.
Cover your grow beds with 4" of wood mulch over the winter & then rake it off in the spring.
Make an open air compost pile. Use 4'H x 13'L kennel wire in the shape of a 4' diameter ring. Add whatever organic matter that you can to it (no meat, bones, fats, etc though).
In the spring, rake out the compost, sift it with 1/4" wire cloth, & then use it to top dress your grow beds!
Also, don't be afraid to use fine mulch (straw, grass, or wood) around your garden plants after they are a few weeks old. It helps the soil to retain moisture & to stay cooler.
Great garden! For an easier potato experience, put 6 or 8 seed potatoes in a 3 ft x 3 ft box (18" deep). As the plant grows, add a 4 sided box 6 in or 12 in tall and infill with dirt. Keep doing this for the entire growing season ending up with a 4 - 6 foot tower. When you harvest, knock the tower over and you should have potatoes all the way up the tower! You can also build a chicken wire column and fill it with straw as the potato plants grow.
This channel is varied professionally. The off-road trucking videos, wheelchair off-road testing and cars in general has become my favourite but I have to admit that the garden videos are also a “steal of attention” I like them so much, respect to the work put in, weekly Timelapse is crazy, that’s why I watch and enjoy them🙌🏾🤍❤️
MUCH LOVE ZACK‼️
And also seeing the baby boy grown is so lovely 🤣 can’t forget Cambry as well, I love seeing her in the videos.
These videos bring me so much joy. Will be watching again later with my daughter who loves ponies horses gardening plants etc I love it THANK YOU
Hey Jerryrigeverything, I’m a Landscape designer from Washington state. I’ve worked with my dad on installing irrigation systems, lawn care, and gardening with my parents since I can remember; and my collegiate schooling just somewhat helped solidify what I’ve always enjoyed doing. That being said, I’d be more than happy to help you design your irrigation system for your garden as well as explain everything on why I select what parts go with what. It’s a great way to expose people to my profession (Landscape Architecture) and the impact it has. As well as how it co mingles with architecture and interior design!
Wow, this little guy grew since a year ago. I remember watching the "We grew more than just pumpkins this year" last October, and seeing him as a baby.
The fact that Zach is good at everything makes me wonder what he eats for breakfast lunch and dinner 😂😂😂
Apparently jalapeno breakfast sandwiches, which is pretty metal I guess
A lot of zucchini 😀
@@sortodawy hahaha looks like he really eats lot of em based on the produce 😅😅
Garden updates are low key my favorite videos of the year.
So true
Same Here!! 👍🌱👍
Thanks for taking us along. I always love seeing these videos each year!
As other comments have mentioned, have a shade net for the carrots for next time. This is also necessary if you want to grow tomatoes too. For the potatoes its also necessary for them to grow in 'soft' soil. You can also raise up the soil in ridges to aid the potatoes growing to their full potential.
On composting, one idea to fasten decomposition is to add about a quarter of the volume of the container with soil. Soil has great bacteria and microorganisms that break down the organic materials. When you finish harvesting the leave snd other remnants of the plants can be chopped up and added to the compost pit to add filler for next years soil. If you're short for time there are biodigesters that help fasten the biodegradation process.
Pro tip for small scale corn growing, you can plant beans in between the corn since they're mutually beneficial to each other.
I remember i started watching this channel for him then for his wife then for his gardening now this cool kido steal the show 👌
Your garden layout is very well done, that's the sort of layout I could do with, so I could get around in my wheelchair here in the UK 👍
'i'm not crying, you are'
protect this family at all costs
put a plastic sheet below the strawberry plants, make a small hole and plant the sapling in these holes. It keeps them away from pests, insects, and when they grow-up, the strawberries don't touch the ground. you can reuse the plastic sheet for next season too.
From Strawberry growing region of India. (Maharashtra state)
Add a layer of straw mulch (the reason they are called STRAWberries) on top of the plastic or instead of the plastic.
So glad you two found each other. I’m enjoying watching your lives grow together. Very happy for you three.
Y’all’s son is so cute! You both will be great parents!

I've never used the word "y'all," and it actually feels gross to me to even think it. Like, I have no reason to dislike the word, it's just, instinctively, I hate it.
So, I don't judge others for using it, but I'll never use it myself.
thank u cheering me up with this video, had a really bad night. it was nice to see good people, making good content. bless your hearts.
Hello! I wanted to share a few things that might help y'all.
1. Adding some worms to this raised bed would probably help a lot. I get mine from Uncle Jims Worm Farm.
2. I haven't really seen it but you guys should add a mulch of some kind. It will help retain some of the water going into the garden. I use barley straw (also good for the worms) but I don't have as big a bed as this so there might be something more cost effective.
3. All of those weeds you took up in a previous video can be used in a compost pile. You can add grass cutting and stuff similar which would be "greens". However you also have to add "browns" aka dry leaves or grass, newspaper, cardboard etc. They combine to make the compost.
4. Adding a layer of compost to the top adds a lot of the nutrients that these plants use. The plants roots don't get a lot of nutrients from deep down in the soil, but mainly the first 6ish inches of the soil (If I remember correctly).
5. To also reamend the bed, you can do a soil test and find out what your soil needs. After 3 cycles, it is probably in need of some lovin at this point. There is a wonderful book called The Intelligent Gardener. It is a great read and may help understand reamending the soil. Alternatively, there is a company Build A Soil (which is where I also get the nutrients to reamend with) that has something called the craft blend and you can reamend with that. Everything they have is very organic and are a great company. Either way, there probably isn't a ton of nutrients left in that bed at this point.
6. When you reamend, you can just top dress rather than remove the soil and mix it up with the new nutrients. However one of the things the worms will do is come up to the surface, eat the nutrients and bring it down into the soil as a water soluble nutrients that can be easily eaten by the plants.
7. I haven't done potatoes before honestly, but when I have watched videos on it, I have seen people mound around them to give them extra space to grow more potatoes. There are several methods, but I would suggest looking around.
8. Epic Gardening is another UA-cam Channel that is fantastic and Kevin is very knowledgeable and may be able to help you. Build A Soil also has a UA-cam channel and Jeremy is also incredibly knowledgeable but you may not be as interested in his videos, even though they are very informative and I highly recommend their products.
9. They aren't the end all be all, but if you wanted to have a little more monitoring of the garden, you can add Ecowitt moisture sensors around to see how everything is going. I have just started using these so I can speak a ton to their efficacy but they at least give me an idea. If you know the soil is moist but some of the plants seem dried out, you may be able to catch some of the pest problems a little earlier.
I know this was a ton of information but I hope you get to see it and it helps for future years.
P.S. - I know it is already decently through the season but you can top dress at any time, same with adding worms.
I'm watching your videos from a longtime, and i want to admit that I love your behaviour and respect towards your wife more than your durability test videos. You are very kind and humble person sir. And one more thing I love how you explain things , and your way of talking, love from India . ❤️
There are millions who view you as the perfect couple.
Don't ever go apart please..
No-tilling, what you’re talking about keeping the foliage covering during the winter, does help keep nitrogen from evaporating. The dying foliage will also put a little more nitrogen back into the soil if you “leaf” it there.
Adding bamboo stakes around your plants once they get a few inches tall will let you use twine to tie the plants to the stakes for support. Bamboo stakes last forever and are super light and smooth to handle. If you put a notch into the top of the stakes then you can also hang twine from them to support horizontal branches as well.
Something we've found that helps is to cut things down that go into the compost. As small as reasonable, essentially
Cutting down adds more surface area to nibble on.
And you want a lot surface area to nibble on as possible.
Not sure if those biodegradable things are healthy for plants and as for humans to consume from.
Your son is absolutely adorable!❤
Couple things:
1. Rotating peas through your garden will help the soil, they’re natural nitrogen positive plants
2. With your potatoes, building up the soil around the stem of the plant will help it grow bigger and stronger
3. Mixing some peat moss and cow manure into the soil at the beginning of the season will also help grow your plants.
4. Crushing up egg shells and using them as like a powered pesticide around the stems of plants will help with bug control
5. Putting some cow manure into your compost bin will also help speed up the composting time
Hope this helps
From a farmer: Zack if you want to get rid of those squash bugs you need to get rid of the plant debris and burn it so they don’t winter there.
That last ear of corn with small kernels isn’t ripe on top yet, but it’s still good. That used to be my favorite; the early stuff. To test corn don’t pull the husks down like a coon, test near the top of the cob by taking your fingernail and seeing if a kernel pops essentially through the husk.
Have you folks also considered planting the corn somewhere directly into the ground, like rows against the fence to help the wind from knocking it down from the additional height?
Pumpkins just need a mound of dirt/manure to do well. If planted elsewhere that has room to take off like crazy Cambry could also get through that last aisle easier.
And you could consider planting a cover crop to put nutrients back into the garden. The main thing is spreading manure throughout to breakdown over the winter and fertilize. You have critters put some of that to good use. And yes, compost pile on the ground and turn it over from time to time is best so the worms can get to it.
And plant either decoy plants close but not next to or companion plants amidst the plants in the garden to help deter pests. Nasturtiums are great for this. Cosmos attract beneficial insects like real ladybugs. Grandma always used to plant marigolds around the edges of her tomato and pepper plants.
I wish everyone had the inspiration and passion while being so humble. Seeing the channel and family grow is such a whole hearted experience. Keep it up Jerry!
This is so wholesome to watch, I love it! thanks for sharing your family with us! ❤
Not to discredit all of your hard work on the garden, but Jerry Jr. kind of stole the show in this one with his excellent commentary.
best part of the entire episode was seeing the progress of junior. loved to see him .
plz let him be a part of every vid
What a Beautiful cute baby you have ❤ I wish him all the best childhood with his 2 beautiful parents. Much love ❤❤❤
Loads of love to you three from me a millions of more Kenyans. God bless your family.
Beautiful family! Your kid will grow up to be an amazing person because of you two, I can already tell!
for the very big zucchini: cut them in half along the long side, with a spoon gently scrap the seeds out from the zucchini itself, then you can stuff them with bread, mozzarella, ham, and everything else you like, spread some bread crumbs and parmigiano on top. Put the 2 halves on an oven-proof pan and roast them in the oven until golden brown and cooked.
They you should became really really good.
Congrants for your garden from Italy!
Your baby is adorable. God bless your family.❤
Your garden may not have been the best, but watching your family grow is a beautiful sight!
Wow!! You have an amazing family. Congratulations! Seeing this garden, your family, and you simply blow me away. You got the life goals on lockdown. Again, congratulations! Happy gardening, parenting, loving, and living!!
As a fellow gardener, this made me just so happy. It's a tough skill but it gets better every year. Thanks for sharing ❤
You guys should try planting some winter wheat for these next couple months so the garden doesn't go unused. Super easy to take care of and out-competes weeds as well! It **can** also help with maintaining soil quality.
There are also a lot of salad like things to plant in autumn which do a great job in protecting the soil. And whatever you didn't use until you start planting again you just put it on the compost to get organig material😉
This inspires me to start my own garden
Its really cool to see the progress of your garden, but man, you have a lovely family! What a great blessing! Cheers to all of you.
Composting is potentially one of the hardest things to do in the garden. You need a somewhat particular “blend” of greens and other bio-degradables like egg shell and paper. Also that “rotisserie chicken” is supposed to be turned every few days to allow oxygen into the mix to aid decomposition. My grandmother did it very successfully for many years on a larger scale so it can be done but it’s difficult nonetheless. Best of luck next year 👍🏼
Yeah there was not enough material in the composter. They should add all the bio material after the harvest into the box (leaves. . . ). Then add egg shells, used coffeepowder. . . and you also can add special compost accelerator. And like it was said, turn it regularly. This will speed up the process and will give you good food for your plants.
I'm a relatively new subscriber to your channel, and my heart is overwhelmed watching you guys! ✨✨
There are a whole lot of positive vibes! Keep up the good work. ❤️
Jerry, We loveYour family videos have special warmth to them.
on the topic of composters.... when you restart your compost add egg shells shredded newsprint and everything from your kitchen trash that isn't foam, plastic or metal. paper and all other kitchen waste is compostable. The last thing you need to add to start your compost is chicken poop. I made 25 lbs. ready compost in a composter the size of a corner mailbox with just 10 pounds of starter blended from that type of stuff and adding some ash and all yard clippings for one summer while adding the kitchen waste from cooking for three adults. and leave it access to the ground so the worms can get into it and you'll also add worm castings to your decomposition.
I think this is my favorite video you've uploaded in a while. Very wholesome. I look forward to seeing next year's results.
Cambry : everything's not going great
Jerry: the potatoes are doing great
He is obviously Irish. Idk.
Jerry? I thought Zac's grandfather has passed on?
Compost works best when out in the open. I would build a small 5 x 5 ft box in the corner and add the compostable to it. You need a whole lot more than that small amount to get it going. You can always add the leaves from the corn plant, etc to it. And dry tree leaves also helps with things. Before I moved form my last property my compost pile was 20 x 20 and 7 ft tall. We also have horse's, sheep, and chickens adding to it with their manure. It takes about 7 months and then you have black gold compost, which makes the garden grow super well.
This two couple is an inspiration for every couples. I love how they care for each other and same thing thing with their farm. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You have a beautiful family Buddy! Congrats! My twin boys just turned 4 months old yesterday. Love your channel. Greetings from Poland.

Thank you for sharing your garden and harvest with us and thank you so much for sharing your little man with us he is gorgeous ❤️🇦🇺
There is nothing more lovely tahn watching you guys having this nice life!
Keep on the great work!
You should give growing Garlic a try! They grow fall to spring so you can keep the garden growing all year round. Love seeing garden updates.
Try to cut the bigger pieces into smaller chunks before adding it to the bin, it helps in the decomposition.
Also I would suggest to use saw dust to manage the ratio of greens to browns, it's easy to handle and also decomposes quite faster than dry leaves or newspaper.
Just watched the entire video, such a lovely video. Family time and the best part about it all is that you are documenting your life so your kid and maybe kids and future generations can see what you accomplished aswell as watching themselves grow up.
That's so positive dude. Glad that little one is growing up.
This was so freaking wholesome, thanks for making my day.

What A Beautiful Family. God Bless You All.
Your mini -me is growing so fast. Good job.
The rotary composter do work well, but you need to put stuff in regularly, and give it a spin. Kind of looks like you did not put in much. Also add some leaves or sawdust, as you need "brown" in your compost for it to rot/break-down well.
Definately a shortage of mass. Also, some items which say they are biodegradable or compostable, are really only industrially compostable, so you're going to struggle to have them breakdown by just throwing them in your garden setup.
It's really nice seeing Cambry again...😍😊❤️
I’m so jealous they are such a nice family
This is probably the most wholesome content I've seen on UA-cam in a long time. May God bless you guys continually.
We are going to look back on this years later being both novice gardeners and new parents.
Been such an **amazing** journey thus far, cheers to the future and some new tests for the garden :)
Hope yall are well
This is so cute! I really enjoy the garden videos every year.
You guys are an inspiring couple. I can tell you love her lots

Love you 3000 💕💕💕
I had to go back in time and see if Camry was always dark haired, made me double take lol. Great video as always
What a beautiful family 😍 God bless you guys 🙏🏻
You need to put more in the compost, add in some grass clippings and leaves and some soil, you need to make a good environment for decomposers to live in, them add the food into that
It’s so fun to watch Zack become a dad
I breed/cross tomato varieties as well as collect rare and unique vegetable seeds (because I don't have enough side hobbies). If you ever want to try some, let me know, I'll send them down.
Seeing Jerry Jr. My heart is so full !!!!!!!!!!
