- John from www.growingyourgreens.com/ visits a gardener who barely works in his garden nowadays yets has tons of food to eat in Las Vegas, Nevada right off the Las Vegas Strip. Las Vegas is one of the most difficult places in the United States to grow food due to its extreme climate.
In this episode, you will learn how you can grow an enormous garden with very little work.
First, John will give you a tour of the little work garden at a mobile home part, so you can learn about the specific plants that can easily grow with very little input on your end. You will learn about perennial vegetables and annual vegetables that will readily re-seed on their own, so they plant themselves, so you don't have to.
Next, you will learn how you need to set up your garden so that it can work without you. You will learn many of the different elements that are required to grow food without you having to show up and tend to your garden every day.
You will learn how having a microgreens business helped him to make his little-work garden a reality by mulching with the flats of his microgreens after harvest to put coconut coir and some ungerminated seeds into his garden.
Finally, John will interview El Toro Loco to learn more about his secrets to having an abundant garden with very little work.
After watching this episode, you will learn how you can grow lots of food in a small space with very little work.

No excuses....make your own victory garden....food control is people control. Thanks for the great video and example.
@The Butcher don't rely on others or the system to take care of you. We should take care of ourselves - it's our personal responsibility to. Only what we can't do ourselves should we rely on the gov't for, and even then we should try to avoid relying on them as little as possible.
Don't rely on anything
EL Toro Loco, Your garden and it's plants are beautiful!
Love you guys💚you’re both funny and so passionate about gardening. God bless you both.💚💕🥰
Great positive vibes from Toro Loco. That's why he has a successful garden. 👍
John, I have learned so much from your videos. One thing I like to see on your videos is the printed names of the plants that you taste. Thank you for your videos they are fantastic.
I agree I’m trying to google some of the names and I can’t find anything 😢 my spelling must be way off
Love his t shirt. John Kohler is my gardens hero. Good, better, best. John is a great person. He thinks of the TH-cam audience showing them how they could become healthier and wealthier. I’ve learned so much and my garden is loving John Kohler. My pocket book loves him too. I’m not spending money on things that don’t work and my yield/harvest has doubled. Thank you John. Appreciate you!
You are the ***Best** John, Keep Growing Your Greens!
Toro Loco fully Loco! Love the munch at the end :)
Love how he uses trees, wood fence, concrete wall, lattice, and the tall building to create a cool shaded diffused sunshine environment protecting all of those tender plants from the same bright white hot sunshine & late day heat that we suffer from in Orlando, FL! The different types of containers using steel girder, plastic pallets, wood boards, compost mulch really do a lot to also protect the roots from any hot nutrient-poor dirt, sand, or rocky soil and plant-eating ants, nematodes, grubs, pocket-gophers, etc...also a problem in Orlando, FL. Thank You Guys!
Red Russian Kale makes great SPROUTS! much easier to grow than plants and better texture to chew!
sprouts -> microgreens -> baby -> adult -> flower -> fruiting/seeding
Wish you were in florida!!!! Great video as always!!! Thanks for the motivation!!!
This garden is sooo abundant! I love it! 😍🙌🏻
That moment at 29:22 when Toro says something about his girlfriend. And CUT!!! 😂😂
That was hilarious. I wonder how many minutes they stayed on that topic. 😂🤣
@@javier0304 😂😂😂
Ok, props to the guy for what he does. To the trading and knowledge he has gained in the years he has been focusing on health and healing from the natural abundance of the land. The last 5 minutes was at once a little painful, yet extremely amusing to watch all of the textbook psychological maneuvers that we have been taught as social creatures to fall absolutely into the abyss.
What I have come to realize today.... I was today years old when I realized.... that no social stroking or behavior mirroring or language mimicking works on John. It just doesn’t. The patience that John showed while all the attempts fell flat was absolutely outstanding. I hope the guy goes on to do very well for himself. John will not notice either way, because he is a terrarium of his own genious.
I learn so much from your videos! I'm in WNY, so there is a need to translate some of the information to a shorter growing season, but it's not difficult. Thanks again for a great video!
John. You’re a great inspiration in my life where as it comes to gardening. I love watching your channels on TH-cam. I learned lots of gardening from you and. I do gardening as well great idea’s of yours
List of plants in this video?
This year I'm growing more greens than before, and some for the first time. They are high in calcium in addition to the other benefits you mentioned. Growing celery, parsley, collards, spinach, lacinato kale, red Russian kale, plus cabbage. I love that you mentioned Medical Medium!
Cute cat✌️❤️
Great to see a new video John!!👍👍
Great tips, some inspiration to use in my garden. Cheers!
Love your peppers so nice..I love your back Yard so beautiful I want to make sure I watch you all the time on TH-cam I like the way your Gardens all set up and so much food can tell me a lot thank you so much
Amazing, one day I will have to drop by to learn about having my own garden 🪴 when I retire with my own hydroponics set up
After 14yrs of talking about it I'm finally going to start my own garden, I'm terrified about beginning, but I'm going to do it.
Awesome, don’t be terrified 💚start with what you’re really going to eat or with any vegetables to grow like tomatoes. Make sure you stick to the season you’re in for example if it’s February it would be cool vegetables. Look up you’re area zone and what grows best there in that particular season. God bless.
Im here in Vegas. I have corn growing, and The Red Russian Kale. My kale is soo big !
Wow. Miss you John 👍🏼👍🏼♥️♥️
Thank you both so much!!
Some great tips, as ever, cheers!
I am in the process of converting my drip system from using 1/2 in poly tubing with the emitters in the tubing to 1/2 in poly where I place the adjustable emitters. That way you have control of how much water is placed in a specific place. Really important in the desert. The proof is in this man's beautiful full garden. Those plants are so healthy!
I would love for you to see my garden in Vegas, I have took a lot what you talked about and am seeing amazing results
I would be interested. Contact me thru DM on instagram
Ayyyyy Toro Loco get it bud ! Good luck on the business
I love gardening I plant my vegetable garden every year thanks for sharing new subscriber here
Oh my God !!! I am totally inspired!!!!
Another great interview
I’d imagine the secret to this is the right soil, since everything is in a container it doesn’t have to deal with the desert soil at all. And of course the extreme sun is counteracted by the tree shade.
you know whats an interesting feeling? Until last year, Ive never known what a plant is by looking at it... sure, of course I know general things like a rhododendron or rose bush etc. However, greens all looked "the same." After two seasons, I watch a video like this, and before he says it, I will look at a plant (and if i grew it), I will be like, "hey.. that looks like xy or z"... and then when im right??.. it's a kinda cool feeling. :) When i saw the russian red, i guessed it. It's weird, the baker creek seed package shows the russian red as like purple... but mine look green like this guys. I have been org-fert'ing every other week.. so im not over or under doing it with nutrients, but... I wonder if they need more phosphorus?
Thanks My friend!
We need more people like this man. He understands humans position in life. I also do eat meat but fight for animals to be treated properly and killed as humanely as possible. Great video.
yasss - I had little reason to go to vegas to gamble - so I didn't have an idea of what to do when there when my parents are wanting to go. Now I have a real reason. This is super great! Are people able to get a double visit - one for El Toro and one with John Kohler for buying greens?
Very good idea!.
Always great information
Chinese celery is delicious and stronger tasting and I use them when young too for cooking etc - love them!
Can you please give the names of the plants clearly - typed over the screen; so viewers can search for them wherever we may be
I wish you would do a video on Texas edibleweeds so we know what to leave in our yard... I have stinging nettle seeds but they won’t start... can’t get mint started .,
Looks like there is a vacant space there John. You could move right in to #48.
Purple deadthistle is one I discovered in my yard in early spring. It's extremely soft and tender, but bland. It's good cut up in a salad for extra purple pigment though.
@ 22 m ....a blumat Soaker hose?.. Great guest by the way.
Thank you
My heroes have always been Gardners.
👍grow ur greens, migardner, epic Gardner, James prigioni food forest &more👍
Great video ✌️✌️✌️
Interesting video
Great video ✌️👍
Wow, I am so elated to have found a food guru!
Look on my channel, I did a serious "drop weight" playlist once before but I got FAT again during phase 1 2 and 3. I'm going too go from my current 315lbs to 200 in 4 months.
i love this channel
Any thoughts on Dr. Tim LaSalle approach of increasing soil microbial diversity using the David Johnson-Su compost making method? He explains "The Wonderment of BEAM" in the video 'OC CRFG May 2021 General Meeting'.
For example, on the Chico University page "How to Build Your Own Bioreactor", it seems to follow the Allan Savory grazing ted talk.
BTW, I also recommend the University of Oxford page "Is grass-fed beef good or bad for the climate?"
Yes! Medical Medium is my go-to guy too.
Hey, I'm inspired.
😲 Many nutritious vegetables, I wonder how can pest 🦟 be controlled naturally without pesticides and based on different environments and plant types. Thank you for sharing valuable information.
I have found that pest predators come into my garden and for the most part take care of the pests. Found a tiny black and red ladybug eating the aphids on the milkweed. The milkweed attracted hundreds of aphids but kept them away from the veggies. Praying mantis also eats insects. You can buy egg clusters to put in your garden. Found predatory wasps also in my garden. Just realized not all bugs are actual pests. Hand pick what you can. There are recipes of soap sprays you can also use. But you do need insects to pollinate your garden. And just grow extra to share with the pests that survive.
Hello John where is a good place to buy organic herbs to make tinctures?
I like his T shirt!!
"He doesn't even save them, he's so lazy"...lol
The mobile home park owner might just get some ideas himself and convert it into an entire garden if this guy renting gets too powerful on his land
May i know what irrigation brand you use?
Will these plants grow in Northern Nevada? Zone 9.
This was great. The only unfortunate thing (and very UNNATURAL thing) is that he relies on municipal water for watering the garden. Please try to find people using dry farming methods or simply harvesting rainwater that do not use automatic irrigation systems. THAT should be the goal- emulating the way NATURE does it and not having to be dependent on BIG BUSINESS/utilities or Uncle S in any way shape or form.
We hardly ever get rain here in Vegas. Seriously. Digging a well is about all a self-sufficient person could do, but can't even do that within city/county limits.
It's not a good situation.
Steak and flowers for me
I make a fantastic pesto with swiss chard, John
I thought you said he could not grow in ground? why did he make raised beds?
John you just changed the drip on his system when you unscrewed that adjustable emitter.
What kind of water filter is that? Can you share the link please?
Boogie Blue, I believe. Actually, I was unaware they came that large. I am getting the inline hose filter, myself.
Saag paneer from sting nettle!
Could you add the names for these plants in your detail section. This makes the correct spelling to find them easily instead of guessing.
Whaaaat you have much more Kale man! John Kohler from growing your collards!
His shirt 😂❤
What’s that plant at 8:49? Ikera?
Achira - canna edulis
SMILE
I recon he's a master grower of smoking greens too
I'm back because I want to buy his t-shirt
So he's not allowed to plant in the ground their but seeds falling and germinating on their own isn't a problem?
Chuga bitter greens? Anyone know the spelling? Also you can eat sting nettles raw?
I believe it is Aguja Bitter greens.
@@dprice6189 thank you!
Where can I get some paw paw seeds??
Buy a ripe paw paw eat the fruit and you have lots of seeds
Kale is the number 1 producer of nitric oxide!
Fifth person. Ya!!!
Chlorinated water...now that's one thing I certainly would disagree on...miles away...did you know there are chlorine resistant bacteria strains that have become immune to this CHEMICAL
First!!!
💯💯💯🍻
Squirrels and rats are damaging my garden and eating my vegetables... very upsetting.
Checkout Robbie and Gary gardening easy. Robbie shows how to get around the rats and squirrels
Buy tulle
titl -why not ???
How do you keep from causing water damage to your house if you keep the water on 24/7? Ive been teying to figure this out for a while. Thanks!❤
