I been watching you closely on this brother my lemons and limes are doing great, you just might see that lemon pie this season bruh. Have an amazing day at work much love
I'm originally from San Antonio. I keep up with the news there . It's so sad that that an 18-wheeler transporting a shipment of 1 million Honey bees flipped in San Antonio.... So sad.... Just another blow to growers environment and that man's income . I sure hope that driver was safe... just sad all the way around isn't it?!!!
I keep all my kitchen scraps in my old empty coffee tins in the freezer, so celery ends, onion skins, eggshells and coffee grounds are all in there when I need to feed the plants
I've been watching you video's I have a lemon tree my mother grew from a seed it's going on two years old and because of you I'm going to put into the ground this spring. Thank you I never would have thought I could grow it in 7b West TN
I’m so mad I missed the lemon tree cuttings! I need to be added to a mailing list, or I’ll pay for a few for the next batch now! Please I need that badly!
If you don't drink coffee or you need more grounds just buy big cans of the cheap stuff. Plants don't care if it's from Starbucks😄 Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add the coffee, turn it off and let it sit for a bit. I'd prob use twice as much water as coffee though I'm sure you could use more water if you wanted. Then you can drain it and use the grounds for the garden after they cool and the coffee can be used for liquid fertilizer mixes. We drink a ton of coffee so I'm pretty sure my compost pile is like 75% coffee grounds lmao
Great idea thought about it before but didn't think it would work as well, but what's the difference right??? So I will add a bag of grounds only thing is I hate coffee smell lol
If we don’t drink all the coffee in a day, I take the cold leftover coffee and pour it on my citrus trees too. I’ve been doing that all winter here in Savannah and my trees are all full of blooms or starting to bloom. I had always crushed up my eggshells before, but your way is much easier. I’m going to start doing that! I love it that you call us “family,” Mr. Lead! That makes my heart feel good. I love you and your videos, Lead family! Thank you for sharing your knowledge about organic farming!
A tip i came up with. Save your simply lemonade(or whatever you drink) jugs of oj/lemon/lime aid, rinse well. Drill holes in top cap to which now gives you a diy water feeder. I have one filled with CALCIUM drink, water and eggshells. Another one with potassium drink,water and banana peels, and others for various nutrients. Orange peels, mango skins, Epsom salt, ashes,etc....You can have a good drink for any flavor your plant needs. (Insert mad scientist gardener laughter here)👨🔬
I have 7 Apple trees....Fuji, Granny Smiths, Galas, Delicious, and one that has 4 different apples on it. 4 Pear trees, 3 Meyers, 2 Pink Lemons, 3 Plumb, 3 Tangerine, 1 Strawberry Kiwi, 2 Fig, 2 Avocado, 1 Mandarin, 3 Peach, 2 Cherry, and a Mango. You have inspired me to go outside and enjoy gardening. We also have veggies growing on our 1 Acre. Ty for all your videos! We love them! I’m a Foster mother with teenage boys ❤️❤️❤️
Lead farmer, I started doing the coffee grounds and eggs last year. But six weeks ago I started feeding fish emulsion on a bi weekly basis. My fruit trees are blooming like crazy! Thank you for the tips.
I like your simple method Uncle Lead ☺️ I bury food scraps at the base of my trees and they seem to be doing good no fruits as of yet but fingers crossed🤞 We drink a lot of tea here in India so Ive started using the spent leaves on my hydrangeas. Lets see how that goes! So excited! 😁
You made a subscriber out of me!! I REALLY like this concept of constant feeding. I also live that you repurposed a pallet for your greenhouse! That's an AWESOME idea! I know where I can get those bad boys for free!
Good video, it's relaxing and it reassures that what i am doing is good. I do the same thing you do to my plants with the egg shells and coffee grounds the results are great. What i do as well is i microwave or air fry my banana and plantain skin then i cut into piece and put around all the plants. Dude, you have so much stuff growing, i wish i had all the space you have so i can do something like you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing us 'eggsactly' how you do it Lead 🤩😉. I keep forgetting to save my egg shells AND I drink instant coffee due to being lazy so I'd better get myself better organised 🤪🤪
Our seed-grown indoor Meyer trees loved coffee grounds! It kept the soil aeraited and bug-free. Starbucks always leaves massive bags of used coffee for gardeners to take.
What about putting those grounds in a 5 gallon bucket of water for a little while then watering all the plants with it? Then still use the grounds around the plants after?
Fresh coffee grounds would be acidic. It's better to use used coffee grounds. They are more neutral on the ph scale. I have some citrus fertilizer spikes. Yesterday I ground one up into a fine powder and sprinkled some of it into the top of the pot before I watered it. I put all my grounds, egg shells, etc. Into my compost pile. When it's done I screen it through a piece of stucco screen/wire I nailed to a wood frame. A paper shredder is a big help for making compost. I never use bleached paper. Only brown bags and cardboard.
This was good. I live in Chicago, as you know it gets really cold here and I want to start my garden. I was advised to start inside since we have more cold days than hot. It’s gets overwhelming but my dad had a garden when I was young, I just don’t know how he started. Do u have any suggestions?
I work at the hospital and take it when I make new pots of coffee for the patients. Can we do this with Apple trees and blueberry bushes? The are only about 12 inches
Can I use tea bags instead of coffee grounds? Oh and how do you feed your other trees like apples, persimmons, and pears it would be a great to make a vid on that dude 👌🏿
I use used tea bags and dry it out. Plus I use the outside skin of onions and garlic (husk) as top mulch. Also, mango skins, avocado skins, banana peels, orange, grapefruit, lemon peels, potato skins.
@@oscaralejandro9868 I don't it would hurt. I just bought a persimmon and it arrived late August with dried leaves on it barely looking like a Charlie brown tree from stark bros. I repotted in a big pot container and it's a stick now I guess in dormancy indoors so I just add those things to the soil and water 1x a week or just every 2 weeks. We shall see when spring arrives if it comes out of dormancy.
Thanks here in S. California, we've been dealing with strong high winds and rain, yesterday I came outside to check things and found my lime, meyer lemon and "sleeping pomegranate" knocked off the wire shelving. Had to do some repairs, resetting and amending, was wondering if I should feed them after that trauma? I have grounded eggshells and banana peels but no coffee grounds, is that enough or do I still need to go to Starbucks for their grounds?
I live in North Florida and I have kumquat, calamasi and a orange tree. What is the deal with leaf miners? My trees just look so ugly from them. How do you stop them?
Hi Leadfarmer and Lady Lead, I am brand new and have bought fruit trees since watching your channel! My Meyer lemon tree came from the nursery with little green lemons on them. Since repotted they have little Browm spots and the leaves are not as beautiful as yours. My questions are should I remove all the lemons and can I fertilize them daily with citrus tone?
I have a new indoor 9 foot tall Centennial kumquat tree. Do you think I could use compost on my indoor tree? I’m afraid of getting mites. Does tea work too?
I have a question! Do you live in the North? If so, do you cover your citrus trees when it gets cold? Because I see that you have them planted in the ground! I live in South Mississippi and have just hit a gold mine on citrus trees! They were on sale and I got most of them for $10 and less! 🥰
Please help so I just moved in a new house and I got 2 citrus trees they are about 5 ft tall still green but I'm in AZ so the soil has been dry until I moved in again the leaves are still green no fruit on them can I still get use out of these trees
Those take time. Usually 3-4 years. My neighbor did the same thing and he got 3 small pineapples his 3rd year. He said although they were small they were very delicious! Hopefully yours will fruit this season!
Too much plastic waste my friend. couple half gallon MASON JARS holds the stink 🦨 u can ADD💦 so it's fertilizer tea that you're dumping around the trees 👍🏽👍🏿👍
@@CanaryBricks my local one does. All you have to do is ask, but I'd just ask about the grounds for your garden. If they think you are just trying to find organic coffee they might lie. Also I'd look for a place that only has 1-2 shops (keep it local) you have a better chance of finding someone invested in the community.
I have a jalapeno and a tomato fruiting right now in my living room, and I'm constantly feeding them. I figure they need all the help they can get. Good to know I'm on the right track. 👍🌶🍅🌱
Just what I needed! I have a Meyer lemon doing great by my worm farm because it gets a lot of worm tea spill off but my older trees out front need some food! 🧡
I have a lemon tree that is starting to flower. I have it in a container in the house. Way too cold here to keep it outside during the winter here .I do pollinate it myself should I be feeding right now? I have fruit and citrus fertilizer. Also I love your music where to you get your music from?
I been watching you closely on this brother my lemons and limes are doing great, you just might see that lemon pie this season bruh. Have an amazing day at work much love
Use that filter also OG! Don’t waste nothing! Thanks for being you bro stay up.. it’s time for a greenhouse
Good morning Leadfarmer73. The boiled eggs water is good, too🤗
Yep! 🥚💦
I go to my local. “⭐️💵” ☕️ Shop & also here in Seattle we have small coffee stands & 90% of them LOVE when you grab their used coffee grounds!
Simple,!! Easy!! I love it, Thanks Lead!! 🍋🍊🍊🍋
I can't wait to start my orchard! I'm starting with something easy...apple trees! LOL

Here in nearby Wilson County. Were they able to save most of the hives?

for the boil eggs keep the water as well and feed your houseplants with it, besides the rice water egg water is best ;-)

I've always failed with peppers (except chilli) because of worms that destroy it before ripening.
Get some BT. It kills worms and catarpillars

I also have a lot of eggs so I microwave them for one minute to dry them out. You can then crush them with your hands and no stink.
