Glad you liked it. I can't wait for this season to clect more

I've se En people put the trellis hoop on the end of one bed attaching to the other bed, so the trellis hoop creates a curves arc in the walkway between beds. Experiment. Either that or just make a straight trellis on north side of the bed. I love breaking "rules" just to see what happens.

You're welcome, Deborah. I made the video because nobody I saw talking about this issue did a good enough job answering my questions. It's as if some book so.ewhere said to do it one way and people just kept repeating it without questioning the logic.

In my opinion, I think putting your beds with the long sides perpendicular to the water flow is best. So the long side of the bed would slow the water flowing down the slope. It's like a swale in permaculture. Even though you are growing above the ground in a box,, the box itself acts like a barrier to water flow and erosion.. Just my humble two cents.. I talk about this at the 4 minute 30 Second mark.

Bit of a rough patch for me right now. I will try my best to post again as soon as I can. We are actually at 60 degrees today, which is unusual for this time of year. But then Sunday it will be back to the 30s.

@@shaneswing2016 I just harvested the last of my squash and it was a hot day. Hope you are stay on top of what ever is eating at your spontaneity. My our Father fill you with overwhelming joy. Hang in there. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

Hey Linda. Yeah, please try it next season. They are a calorie dense free food that lasts for years without need for refrigeration or canning.

Thanks Linda. I'm so glad justin gave me the kick in the pants to make videos. It's been hard, but fun, and it does get easier with each video. Get those vids up.

That's interesting. I'm so used to garlic growing so easily with pests never messing with it that I would think it could grow anywhere.

@@shaneswing2016 no its been 2 years of trying and everyone keep telling me, nope that's not going to work. This is the third year that I'll be trying to replant the biggest ones from the last batch. Maybe it will start paying off.

@@shaneswing2016 so how much snow do you have?

@@jeshurunfarm about 2 inches on the ground for a few weeks now since it's so cold. Did.t get.a.chance to make my garden bed videos, so I'll have to do this right before spring planting begins.

@@shaneswing2016 you better, even if you show us just your snow covered world, remember, guys like me have only experienced snow twice in the 48yrs on this planet.

I buy the organic just in case they spray some inhibitor spray on them like they do on potatoes to stop the eyes from sprouting. I'm growing some non organic this year though as a test to see germination rates. I'll of course do a follow up video in the spring.

Ps. Yeah I grew enough that I will have enough garlic to last me until summer when this batch is ready. So far 200 cloves are in the ground. If all goes well another 400 will be ready. I plan to sell so.e next year. And I plan to make 7 more raised beds if I can.

Thanks Justus.

Try the roasted ones in salad. Mmm.

I was wondering where you were. You have any black walnuts over there?

@@shaneswing2016 nope. We have lychee, citrus and banana trees here, we are in a subtropical area and it's hot here as we are in our spring time. Our challenge is to keep the veggies cool, cheap shade is my specialty and big strawberries 🍓

@@shaneswing2016 o yes. We have thousands of hectares Macadamia trees and other nuts.

Thanks for stopping by to comment. You saved me a ton of time. I used to process one nut at a time with a small piece of wood in my hand and rubbing the nuts against the edge of the wood.

Thanks Lisa. All is well. I have about 8 inches of woodchips right there. Leaching into my beds has never been a problem there or around the beds. But yeah, have to be careful with the juglone juice.

Nostalgic and tragic memories there Redhot. I at least hope they didn't landfill that walnut wood or burn it. That would be even more tragic.

Hey Redhotfiat. Yeah, there's not enough foraging volume to sustain everyone if they all knew how to identify plants. Fortunately, not everyone does, but even still foraging doesn't supply enough calories in general. Walnuts and acorns are good calories, but still not enough.

Thanks Justus

Just keep my head down and produce more videos (that and beg people, lol)

Hey there. The Russian olive is a relative of the autumn olive, but edible Russian Olive berries are grayish-green. People can also confuse the berries of Autumn olive with edible bitter buffaloberries and inedible red honeysuckle berries, so be careful to fully identify anything you plan to eat. I highly recommend the books that I link to below by Samuel Thayer.

Thanks. I'll do that from now on.

We get a good amount of snow in winter and some below zero temperatures too. I'd say in about a month, I'll harvest most of the crops in my garden. But the last two seasons, I've had kale that made it through the winter.

O wow. Nice one. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

Thank you Kulick family. These trash bags keep out the cats and deer pretty well. I used only them before I started using row covers.

Lol. Yeah I was going to mention how some people use the metrix system but I forgot. Respect.

Laura, I'm in Maryland. You?

@@shaneswing2016 North central Florida. Zone 9b/9a

Laura, do you follow David the Good channel? You'd probably like him. He's from Florida and wrote a book about gardening in that state.

Thanks Laura. I had so much fun with this.

Haha. Yep. Best $5 spent yet

You're welcome I got 20 bags yesterday. Going back to get more soon.

@@shaneswing2016 I’ll have to make a trip.

Yeah, it's so cheap that I got 28 bags so far.

I have a compost pile, but it isn't enough. In the US, I guess we are fortunate to have surplus. At that price, I had to buy some.

@@shaneswing2016 I bought bagged compost and soil from multiple brands, I’ve found lots of dirty things, lots of glass, plastics, and I even found medicine bottle caps and in one bag female sanitary item (the most disgusting of all) When I move to my own property I’ll be making my own compost pile. God willing. Australian soil is bad and full of clay, the companies put clay soil and slap some organic matter in there and call it premium soil at $15 a bag ( small 20 litre bag)

@@Michaelsaba1 damn Michael, that sucks about the soil in your area. Yeah,make your own for the win.

@@shaneswing2016 thinking of moving to US. Things are getting very communist here.

As we in the southern hemisphere are entering spring our baged compost is very expensive. As for governments grabbing power. It is happening globally. Brace yourselves, this is going to be weird. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦

Thanks Justus. Will do.

Nope. All good. Just posted another video. Thanks.

Let me know how the harvest goes, Justus.

Indeed!

Thanks Laura. So glad to see the younger ones learning the lost art of foraging.
