Which gardening Videos

@ianroady Not much really. I keep mentioning Motorcycle reviews but no-one here is listening :)

Nice one Patrick! Always good to decode things. It's high time I pruned the gooseberry and red currant bushes at the back of the garage, they've been neglected for years (a bit like me). Pruning is a task I am unfamiliar with so I've watched a few short video clips on the subject and, you guessed it, I can only hope that I will receive the spiritual wealth to accomplish this work well, the material wealth also necessary (my house mate's secateurs need replacing) and the good fortune required in this latest endeavour. I've read that gooseberries aren't as popular in The US. Is this true? And what does that book have to say about using piss as fertiliser?

1) Create an environment favorable to earthworms yup 2) Use mycorrhizae to promote healthy plant growth debatable 3) Use pine needles to make soil acidic debatable 4) Use vermicompost to improve garden soil yup 5) Avoid watering overhead to control plant diseases wrong 6) Apply compost tea to help enrich soil debatable 7) Add lime to soil to raise pH yup 8) Always mulch gardens debatable 9) Add sand to clay soil to improve drainage wrong 10) Water deeply and infrequently to encourage a strong root system yup

Hi Patrick, I am Annie from Malaysia Last year, I watered my organic garden wit compost tea, it florished and I had so many tomatoes that it was a pleasure snacking on them when I went to work on the garden. My home brew consisted of fish emulsion which I made myelf, dried cow manure and molasses with a 3 T of diluted EM1. This year I did not use any compost tea and I can see the marked difference, plants are not doing as well as last year. So I perked up and now water the garden with compost tea again. The Collards, Tomatoes and chilli peppers are doing great. The corn isn't, but its not their fault as I neglected them earlier in their growing stage and besides we had rain every day so much so that a few of my Cherry Tomato plants died. I had to replant a few and am quite happy with the new plants. The Ziinias are vibrant and so is the Sunflowers, Squashes and Syo long cukes, I harvested 2 giant Syo cukes. The Black Beauty Eggplants were delicious, I harvested around 50 from 6 plants. They were large palm size. So I will have to say, weekly application of compost tea helps.

oOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM DYING TO LEARN HOW TO GARDEN. IM EXCITED. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED. GARY, YOUR ACCENT GIVES YOU AWAY....NO NEED TO POINT OUT YOURE FROM MARYLAND...ALTHO I REALLY WOULDNT HAVE GUESSED THAT STATE. LOL. SO, MAYBE I CAN GROW SOMETHING NOW. IM IN FOOTHILLS IN CALIFORNIA. IVE GOT FRUITS AND NUTS DOWN BUT WAS THINKING MAYBE SOME VEGGIES. LOL

Question about plastic bottle for watering tomatoes? I thought it's not safe for us to drink out of the bottles if they have been in the sun? Wouldn't this be just as harmful?

How do you stop the soil coming out of the ends of the guttering?

Those shiny "emergency blankets" make good scarecrows when cut into strips and tied to stakes. They flutter and blow, shining and glittering. I trellis beans into a tunnel for food and shade.I definitely do NOT like the mis-applied word "Hack" that has become so popular. You can't just put the word "hack" onto everything willy-nilly. That word should only be used where it's meaning is appropriate. "To force your way in without permission" does not really apply to gardening.

I spray aphids with vodka so they die fast and happy. But I check for ladybugs and lacewings and their larvae first!

Mr. Handsome.

I absolutely love your videos!! I have learned so much. Seed packets don't provide as much information as you do. I wish I had come across your site years ago; it would have saved me a lot of loss and made gardening easier. I love all the ideas and tips. Thank you so very much!!!!!

1. Another use for toilet paper tubes: use them as cutworm collars. 2. You can easily roll your own smallish pots using newspaper. Just roll a sheet around a can of food and then tuck in the bottom and remove the can. Then stand them up in a tray and fill with sewing mix. 3. Garlic and hot pepper spray (add a few drops of soap to make it stick to the leaves, remembering that you'll have to respray if it rains) repel pests wonderfully, but remember *not* to spray when the midday sun is broiling or you will burn the leaves 4. Practice companion planting: marigolds are great pest repellant plants as well as looking cheerful 5.To save water (a big issue in the Middle East where I live), sew leafy plants close enough together so that the leaves of adjacent plants touch and so don't expose the soil to the sun unnecessarily

GMOs are absolutely safe. Educate yourself before you attempt to educate others.

Thank you for sharing this information. Signed petition, wrote to our state reps just now. Ms. Boxer is one of them. Sadly I think the thing we will All need to do is invest heavily in heirloom seeds and grow our own!

I stopped the tape at 11:40 and wrote both of my senators. I hope more will do the same.

HA! I Told Josh about the Dark Act :) Fucking love that dude. Yes Josh I hipped you to it :D lol. Lets do a Grow or Die 2!

I played hooky from work today and went the the Expo. Fabulous stuff everywhere you look. I saw you and Josh at the boogie brew booth but you both looked busy and I didn't want to interrupt. Hopefully next year I'll be able to be there on the day you're speaking.

I agree with you completely, but I must point out that we must find a way to win this one even against such formidable foes. There are only a few foods that they can even market in the first place. Boycott those few foods. Corn, soy, canola, cotton, and now a handful more. Memorize a short list of foods to give up. Publish the list.

OMG!!!! Those videos are so amazing! I loved it! You teach so well how to do things, it is really great! keep doing it pleaseeeeee >.< (ooh, and I am sorry if there is anything wrong with my English...)

I really like the suggestions about dealing with pests. We have been finding it difficult to grow vegetables on our terrace this season because of squirrels, crows, and peacocks and peahens. I suppose we need is a mesh now. 

How do you know if soil has a lot of nutrients to begin with (I dont really feel like buying compost)

Great video. Well executed, love the host. Great info for the beginner and seasoned gardner. Love to see more!!!

Great video the only thing I'm concerned about right now is how do you improve mineral depleted soils?

Hi just wondering do you have plans for an android version of your software there are many android users out there and I feel you are restricting your market by not providing an android solution love the concept of your product and would definitely buy it if it came available

I can't decide...which is more beautiful.....the design or the designer? I'll go with the designer.
