@GutenGardening you took a lot of precautions this year. Maybe having a cat could be of benefit as well. I really can't wait to see next year's harvest. I would love a bit more focus on the grapes if possible. I have basically no knowledge on that. My first planting died, and I have no idea why. Second planting was devoured by my dogs. Now I have finally enclosed my new garden section, and I am building a similar pergola effect. Pruning is apparently very important. I am genuinely not kidding. Food prices are going insane in South Africa. My garden used to be my hobby and sort of rehab when I stopped drinking. Now, I really need to level up. It is getting harder to provide my family all the quality they deserve.
Thanks for the videos. Just watched your indoor grow from a couple of years ago, and am trying it this year in a 5x5 tent with spyder farmer led's. Love the idea of growing inside in the winter (zone 8a, desert sw, so it still gets a bit too cold here for most fun stuff to grow outside) because the heat generated by the use of the high wattage lights, fans, heat mats, etc, offsets the amount of heat my heater has to put out to heat the whole house. Then I get high dollar food on top of that. The best thing is, I can cool my garage in the SUMMER using the same idea. Move the tent into the garage, have a swamp cooler blow directly into the tent, and the exhaust air exits into the garage and would cool be about 75-80f. It's 105f w/intense sun here for three months, so tomatoes and such can't really be grown easily outside (compared to a tent). Win win, because I run the swamp cooler anyway.
Wow, another nice haul! My daughter sold off the rest of our chickens while I was away. I'm planning on turning their run into a garden now. Lots of chopped straw in the ground, too.
It's been a while since I read Ruth Stout's book, Gardening Without Work, but I do remember her mention of adding cotton seed meal, or similar, as an amendment. Nonetheless, nice job!
Mostly cost from what we have found. Around here it is about 3 times more expensive to get ahold of straw. In this type of bed we really haven’t had much trouble with weeds at all.
Love your channel! I have watched it a lot over the past few years. Hope you are staying well and warm with this recent winter storm. As a zone 5 channel (I am in zone 5 in elm grove 😊) I was wondering if you had any interest in doing a video about how this recent snow dump and deep freeze can affect our spring gardens? I’d be very interested! I specifically love your channel because you are in my zone and you give amazing advice. Ps- took your potato advice and last year my harvest was great! I did red white and blue potatoes as well. ❤
Love watching a great potato harvest and I love that you get your daughter out to help... she will never forget these times..
Your bestest video ever!❤🤗
Ha! I had so much fun out there with my Daughter!
Beautiful harvest ! And you got the cutest gardener in training 😊.
Thank you for your inspiration to try to grow potatoes with different methods.
Thank you so much! I had a blast out there working with her. :)
LOL my mollies need to make a place even though their not the feature 😂
Right?!?!
This harvest was worth the wait. ❤ Love how the cheapest, least effort method produces such a great harvest.
It really is amazing what can be grown in this hat, and the critters really had little impact this year to that bed.

Wow, awesome harvest...tfs
Thank you so much for watching with us!
What an amazing potatoe harvest.
Love your camera work and your dialog.
Thank you so much! It helps to have a partner out there with me to talk to as well. :)
Thank you so much, I enjoyed every second of your harvest! Great job.
Awesomeness!
Awesome 💯

We have southern short tailed shrews (took awhile to id) at my location in WI, terrible things. Good harvest!
I have Some areas where I am composting guinea pig bedding and hay. I may try growing potatoes in it next year and see what happens.

Advantage to growing in hay over straw?🤔
