I think this is my favorite episode. Ever. Anything Lee Reich has to say I want to hear. I just ordered “several” berry bushes to fill in my flower beds. Ready for an edible landscape. Thanks, Joe!
This show is absolutely worthy of corporate sponsors! Watched at 4:30 a.m. in L.A., where it’s still dark outside, and I want to head into the garden and start turning my compost pile! Lol. Now I’m waiting for the garden center to open so I can pick up more mulch, mushroom compost, worms & elemental sulfur! (I would have planted more raspberries & blueberries if I had known! My harvest has been pithy, not sweet enough to be excited. Kept them only to sacrifice them to the small wild beasts in the fruit trees overhead). Will rework my plantings & expect a better crop in the future. A wide range of garden products companies would benefit wildly from sponsoring this channel’s content. There’s a lot of interest in a greener world (love the show title). I benefited in a single visit, was thoroughly entertained (good editing!), & enjoyed the conversation. I’m an environmental scientist & gardener (whose garden has been my best teacher of environmental problems), & I loved the guests and the content. Host and guests are well informed, good humored & inspiring in a world that is full of disorder, dysfunction, and despair. The best place any of us can go to reboot & get healthy, emotionally and physically, is a garden. Our own or that of a friend or acquaintance. To anyone watching who doesn’t have a garden yet, do not despair! Every great gardener is happy to have extra hands in the dirt in exchange for tutoring and a few pieces of fruit while ur working! U’ll leave with the intellectual seeds (& physical ones, cuttings, free plants…) needed to grow a physical garden and a peaceful mind. The best opiates are words and stories arranged thoughtfully and being a student of nature in a garden. May everyone who watches dare to become addicted to both. Loved the show.
I did catch an episode of growing a greener world on TV. It was growing in a Suburban area where nobody was gardening. Except for one beautiful lady with a beautiful dream. Happy you are on TH-cam.
Oh my goodness! Our little girl would love your blueberry palace! It's her favorite fruit and it gets its own line in our grocery budget. She will eat a pint a day if we let her! Loved seeing ideas of all the things we can grown in zone 5.
Lief 💅.My heart prompts me the right feelings about you.Great job and having passion to connectivity of nature is appreciable.In fact you are not digging for gold but digging to germinate plants on earth.Gloriously nature most beautiful gift and enjoy the beauty of monarch beauty of nature 🙏.
Great episode guys. I’ve got a little tiny orchard and I was going to put chickens in it, but I think I’ll dump that idea and put in more fruit, especially berries. Like Lee, I love fruit!
Of all the gardening channels I subscribe to and all the random gardening episodes I have ever watched, this has been my favourite episode by far! Just subscribed and I look forward to binging!
I was watching your deer fence episode and this came up and what a wonderful episode. An eye opener episode with dr Lee Reich and enjoyed the walk around his farm/garden, and the beautiful Mohonk house upstate New York. Thanks and enjoy your channel!!
I absolutely LOVED this episode! I found myself laughing out loud, it was so much fun to watch. Your friend, is my kinda guy, what a character :). I’m so glad we were allowed into the ‘blueberry temple’ as an ‘anointed.’ I learned so much about lowering the ph in my soil for growing blueberries. Thank you so much for introducing your guest to us today, marvellous!
I see comfrey plant leaves on the compost pile. Comfrey leaves make the best liquid fertilizer! They are extremely nutritious treat for the chickens or other homestead critters. A lot of beneficial insects overwinter under dead comfrey leaves. The bees love comfrey flowers! Plant some comfrey!!!!
I’m in zone 5b, at altitude… I have 2 blueberry plants that I was told to plant in large peat moss bags that were dug into ground. I fertilize every spring with a blueberry fertilizer. Every fall I wrap in cloth, In 3 years I have never had fruit. This year I’ve decided not to wrap them, and have finally seen the beautiful fall colors, but would really like fruit…. Suggestions???
This is one to save and watch again and again. Love the Farmden term! I guess maybe I have a Garm, because my garden is a lot smaller but I wish it was a farm and that is my goal.
I don’t know if you ever travel outside of the country but please check out Bealtaine Cottage owned by Collette O’Neill. She’s an Irish environmentalist, writer and teacher who is famous throughout Ireland for Goddess Permaculture. Her TH-cam channel has been going for 10 years. She’s got such a fantastic story of how she started down this path.
I enjoyed this episode and it encourages me to get past my hesitation trying to grow Chicago hardy figs in SW Michigan. I loved the method of building the compost bin and immediately went on the internet to find notched manufactured wood or wood decking. But I found nothing like what Lee is using. Can you give me any tips on finding these boards? Thanks. Susan Stone
Another great episode! I'm really interested in the fig espalier's in the grow tunnel, and I'd love to see the process for starting one. Reich's _Landscaping with Fruit_ (I just bought it based on the podcasts & am still exploring it) has some very general espalier info but not that technique. Where could I find the step-by-step?
Thank you. For more details, try reaching out to Lee on his website. He's not the fastest to reply but generally he will I think. Hope this helps! www.leereich.com/
I learned a lot from this episode, and realize my blueberries could use a lower pH even though I'm in Ga Z7b where the soil is naturally acid. Where can I get elemental sulfur mentioned in this episode? Thanks!
Wonderful, Dianna! I just checked amazon and this looks good. The brand is readily available locally. You should try calling Scottsdale Farms. I think I've seen it there and they carry this brand. Cherokee Feed would be another option. Good luck. Here's the amazon link for your reference: www.amazon.com/VOLUNTARY-PURCHASING-GROUP-Soil-Sulfur/dp/B006MZGEDE/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=garden+sulfur&qid=1571498674&sr=8-12
Thanks so much for this! I have a question regarding composting: I'm finding tree roots growing in my compost bin, which I'm guessing is because I'm not turning it enough. Any ideas to stop the roots without inhibiting the worms that like to live in there, as I'm passively composting?
The roots are opportunistic. They know a good thing when they find it. There's nothing you can do long term. You an either keep root pruning around your bin or move your bin. I have the same issues. Roots love compost too and will seek it out.
Great show Joe.Lee should come to Floyd Bennett Field and check out our communitygarden.The ULTIMATE episode of GGW or podcast.Elliot Coleman,Barbara Damrosch,Lee Reich,Paul James,Erica Glasener,Rodger Swain and Charles Dowding and your the HOST.
That WOULD be a powerhouse episode. I've thought about a show or two like this. That's a lot of people in one show so I'd give more time to each one. But you may know we've already done and episode with Eliot and Barbara, and now Paul James. And Erica was in an episode last year when she worked as my associate producer. I plan on visiting Charles Dowding this next August so maybe I'll film that too. Just need to catch up with Roger! Thanks for this.
I know I am asking after 2 years …. still… what about wild blueberries, who are coming from the mountains… do they grow in such an acid soil too? Thank you
I live in Walsenburg Colorado and we are a zone 6. Any pointers on growing grapes and other fruit? I tried raspberries and they did good the first year. But didn't come back, the whole plant from top to bottom died.
Hi, Linda. I'd help you if I knew how to grow fruit in CO / Zone 6. But I'm in Atlanta, Zone 7b and it's vastly different. The best resource I can point you to is your county extension service. They are a wealth of info for questions like this with answers suited to exactly where you live. They are a great resource for local growing info and care. Good luck.
Thanks for the great episode. I was wondering if there where more details available for the product used to build the compost bins? Building like Lincoln logs looks like a great way to build new raised garden beds.
@@evega8368 if you open the replies below my comment and above yours you will see the explanation about the raised beds. Each one is custom made on site from purchased pieces. I was disappointed to find out I couldn't buy the lumber pre cut. Oh well.

I love his voice. I love hearing him on your podcast so to see him in person is a treat.
Ha! Well, look out. If he reads this, he's going to get a big head. Honestly, I like the way he speaks too. There's only one Lee Reich! Thanks Nina.
Great episode guys. I’ve got a little tiny orchard and I was going to put chickens in it, but I think I’ll dump that idea and put in more fruit, especially berries. Like Lee, I love fruit!
Love the show, I think we've seen every episode, this was one of the best.
This is my first viewing of this series and I like it very much so far.
Now this is a farm to lead by example. One can see the dedication and work that has gone into it. Thanks.
Lee is my HERO
Well information. Good show.

This is very inspiring! Thank you for sharing this video!
The gardening channel with James Prigioni is a great permaculture channel with a food forest
Love these videos!!!! Thank you!!
Getting ready to plant some blueberry plants before it frosts - so this was very helpful and well timed!
Yay, Anna! Great time to plant! Glad you caught this one.

Extraordinary input extraordinary results.
Love Dr. Reich's gardens! I feel more confident about getting figs from my Chicago fig now! Thank you!
I've been watching GGW for years. I think this might be the best episode I've seen.
Wow! That's saying a lot. Thank you.
I’ve learn so much from your show, thank you!
Thanks so much, Lita. In case you don't know, we have a LOT of shorter teaching videos on our companion TH-cam channel: th-cam.com/users/joegardenerTV

Whoops. You need two for cross-pollinaton.

Thanks Lee ! I'll get another one in the Spring (zone6a) ! You're the BEST !

I've had the same problem. The solution is to turn the pile more often and/ot don't let the compost sit too, too long.

@@ggwtv okay, thx!
What in the world???? I had no idea that place was so close to me! Yup i'm definitely inspired!!!!
I’m about to grow my first pawpaw tree 🌲:) the seed is on the way to me , so excited
Don't let the seed dry out. Stratify it in moist soil kept at 30-45° for a couple of months, and be patient.
Lee Reich thank you so much 😊 for the tips
Lee Reich 30 to 45 Celsius or F ?
Lee Reich so far I have two mandarin trees 🌲 two pear 🍐 trees 🌲 one apple 🍏 trees 🌲, they are still babies 👶 so excited for the pawpaw seed to arrive

I would like to know where you can purchase some of these varieties. I would love to have an edible landscape here at home.
I want your garden, I am so jealous. 😭
I would love to know the name of that cherry plant that he plants it. I would love to find one for myself
Nanking cherry
Beautifully done! Can I ask how you guys protect your blueberry bushes from birds?

Does anyone know where a person could find a Crab Apple trees ?
What kind of fig trees? My tags say fruit grows on previous year's growth, so if I prune mine like his (I want to!) I would get no figs......
Would the white currants be a goose berry?
Does anyone know why I'm getting the plants to grow nice and green but I'm not getting any vegetables on them.

Thanks for the great episode. I was wondering if there where more details available for the product used to build the compost bins? Building like Lincoln logs looks like a great way to build new raised garden beds.
I used a variety of artificial wood decking, available at building supply stores. They all worked well.
