so excited for you! I've loved watching your gardening journey! We've been a CSA for 6 years, and every year there's learning. We just got our greenhouse, but we're in Manitoba Canada, so…no winter growing for us, but we certainly extended our season!
I watch your videos all the time and I was so excited to see the link to “more than farmers”! They are awesome!! Not always relevant to Alaskan gardening to be sure, but super motivating!
Wow you have done fantastic work lots of luck making your dreams come true .
This video came at just the right time! I was very discouraged after this past summer’s garden failure (only my volunteer tomato plants produced 🤷🏻♀️) TY so much. Your YT channel is educational, encouraging, and just make’s a positive difference. Keep sharing!
More garden videos please…loved this one 👍
In which state do you reside?
I'm wondering if chickens are "worth it" when calculated in with the fertilizer and compost they make. And don't forget how useful eggshells are! Oh my goodness … eggshells have so many uses from putting vital things into the compost… to adding extra nutrition to food — my sister boils eggshells in her coffee for 10 min to add extra calcium into her diet, for example. I'm sure there are other minerals and things as well… so I guess the cost of supplements could be added on the chicken side of the math for the question at hand. Knowing where your eggs come from and how the chickens were raised that made them has to come with some value as well.
Anyway… my point is… chickens don't just offer eggs, like you would buy in the store… even if you buy the high end eggs (which doesn't necessarily mean they are better… that company could be lying and really harvesting eggs from chickens in unhealthy conditions. and who has the time to research every company they interact with through their consumerism?! That is an exhausting task that feels like it requires investigator skills that don't come naturally. but I have gotten way off topic…). What I am saying though is that if you are going to calculate the cost of eggs against having backyard chickens… you must consider their full value for a true comparison.
*transparency…. I don't yet have chickens and don't have the mental bandwidth (at least at this time) even if I did have them to figure it out. I do hope to have chickens next summer though. I mention this perspective though because I have heard it talked about in other videos and it seems like an important point.
look into walipini….. You might be able to grow tomatoes in the winter…. I can't remember what your grow zone is….. but you might…. most definitely a banana tree
Great guide! More people need to garden!
So much value in this video and your garden looks amazing! 😍🙌🍅
Loved this video and seeing your progress throughout the years. Nothing beats homegrown food.
My neighbour started growing vegetables in the garden last year and now we have a really bad rat problem that didn't exist before. I see them climbing through the hedge all the time, and his cat is more interested in climbing the fence and attacking my dog than hunting the rats. Fun!
This.
I used to use a half moon edger but replaced it with a Fiskar edger. It’s a fantastic tool. So much quicker than the half moon for me. I also combine it with an Azada hoe which I use to just take the top turf layer off. It disturbs the top inch of soil but for me it’s time saving.
That is a beautiful size garden. My dream! Everything looking beautiful. Nothing beats field to fork in four minutes.
that sad part is that MOST people don't have space to achieve that… yes you can grow SOME food on a small scale, but that is not a lot… i have 1×1.25m gardenplot i built myself but that doesnt give too much
What a great video, This is where want to be! I just got started growing mushrooms. Which has a huge learning curve for me.
Comment for the algorithm. But my goodness I'm so glad you made this video! 😍
Pretty inspiring. I have a shit ton of deer that come by and eat my forsithias (sp?) and other stuff. Really annoying
Pam here….my first garden had a walnut tree on the side…NOTHING grew…found out the trees and nuts poison the soil…and takes forever to build up the soil. Best thing you did was bulid beds and adding compost and mulch. Your no till method also saved you too.
