Thank you for watching - this is the Grocery Row Gardening booklet, if you'd like to support my work: amzn.to/42yjEq0
Hey David do you try and root the parts of the trees that you remove after planting them?
I'd like to learn that. Many blessings everyone.
@@freewillchoice8052 Sometimes.
Thank you for your advice. I'm going to try what you advised for my ground.
Tip for bucket hauling water or anything heavy--have two buckets even in only half full, one in each hand to balance your load and make it much easier.
Give a friend some fruit, you'll feed them for a day. Teach a friend how to grocery row garden, you'll feed them for a life time. David really is the Good 👍
Shout out to Sherry and her new garden. She asked good questions, had useful info and wasn’t annoying; has a pleasant disposition. Future updates would be appreciated and make good content.
That's interesting, because I had never heard such novice questions before and I would be quite annoyed by such a blond. Each to their own I guess. I thought he had the patience of a Saint!!
@@anga.2359 good for beginners
@@anga.2359 Agreed!
@@anga.2359 did you not pay attention to the fact that that’s his wife? Surely she knows all of this but was asking just the right questions for any novice or beginner, plus that’s not even her real hair lol (I know because I have that one) Don’t comment until you learn some humility please! lol
That isnt his wife. Davids wifes name is Rachel.
Sprinkle dry grits where you have ants. They will take it into their nest and it will kill them off. If it gets wet, reapply more grits. Takes a day or two, but it works great.
What exactly do you mean Grits ?
Grits, or hominy, a southern breakfast food.
Dry corn meal works too.
I try to keep it away from birds, as it can harm them too.
Beats putting poison in your garden or yard.
I came back to this video after a while as i am starting my new gardens at the new house. I think i already said this previously but this is very close to what we used to do in Tuscany's mountains when there was no other way to make food than making it yourself. We have heavily terraced mountains where our grandpas used to grow olive trees, figs, apples, and all sort of fruit trees and they had grain, beans and potatos growing below them... Together with all other annuals.
I like this approach as it is the closest one to the traditional farming in my area but with a lot of exotic plant ideas to improve resilience ❤
I haul buckets without a hose, friends want to know why I never had a gym membership. Never needed one. My exercise plan involves eating healthy too.
Yes!
No Wayyy!! Sherry is a grocery row queen now! Please please film after 6 months 🥳🥳 and get her to start her own youtube channel showing the grocery row off every month haha!
We'll definitely revisit it.
I personally don't like watching a woman flirt with another woman's husband
@wanderingtheusa This kind of comment makes kind, outgoing women reading it worried to be themselves, to be curious, to ask for help, to start new things. Not a fan.
Honor your marriage by joyfully being a good partner and teammate. If your spouse cant be trusted around kind, outgoing people, then the problem is *not* the outgoing person. If you cant trust your spouse around outgoing people, you need marriage counselling.
Good heavens, a woman asking questions of an expert about the very thing that person is an expert in is EDUCATION not flirtation. How else was she supposed to learn anything? Text her husband and beg him to ask for her? Looks like the husband was camera shy or had other commitments.
Sherry and her husband seemed like a really loving couple still willing to try new ventures together and were lucky enough to have David as a friend willing to help. What a shame to perceive ugliness when there was loveliness.
What a shame to perceived ugliness where there was loveliness. Your comment was truth in love, thank you for your example.
Plus David's wife is filming....I don't think their going for a whole series starring David and Sherry.
You, sir, are the reason I compost. Love your books. Love your channel!!!
Thanks, Liz.
This is so inspiring! I'm a visual learner, so this is perfect for me.
Now I think I understand grocery row gardening better. I believe I can still make this work in my garden. Thanks!
You can do it!
I think I'm going to plant my first fruit tree! I needed shade for my rabbit shed. I never would have had the courage if DtG hadn't demystified it.
Rock on
I did so enjoy the presentation of the “ Grocery Row Garden “. I am alone and am physically unable to do this by myself. I have 3 raised beds that keep me busy. Thank you for your channel and for all the advice you give us.
Thank you, Sue.
Sue, you can do it, you are as tough as 6140 steel.
Love it ❤❤❤ Great to help your friends get started. I did Geoff Lawton's Permaculture Design Course about 8 years ago. This confirmed basically all that my parents taught me growing up as a child. Very much on par and out of the box thinking to norm at the time. This is great and wonderful knowledge you are passing on to your children ( as well as all the other people you have inspired and educated online) they will never forget. Heaven forbid, if something happened to you and your fabulous wife, this knowledge and physically going out and doing it, will stay with them for the rest of their lives. I lost both my parents as a young teen 2 1/2 years apart. The green thumb, the animal training (we were on a farm), the skills, knowledge, out-of-the-box thinking, the great inventions, the crazy inventions, mad and great and mechanics, building stuff, cooking and preserving foods we had grown, many types of art, sewing, top quality butchery and related skills, the native rescue animals (we used to help a local wildlife sanctuary a LOT), some would say we had a bit of a zoo but we had a farm filled with livestock and injured or orphaned wildlife, half paddocks, half bush and 5 house cows that were milked by hand, huge vege gardens and Mum's magnificent flower gardens, family birthdays, celebrations, and get togethers will always stay with me and have passed this on to my children, the cycle continues. I have over 10 siblings and LOTS of nephews and nieces. Life was ALWAYS LEARNING, doing, growing, inventing and encouraging. Most things had to have many purposes. Very few one-use things were ever around. We also bartered a lot and hardly went to the shops. Believe me that your time is not wasted teaching your children. They are very lucky too that you have so much wonderful valuable knowledge on your vids they can look at, as well as your books. Sharing your knowledge with others is a wonderful thing, thank you to all your family for the time and effort you put in.
God bless you all, from Australia 😊😊😊
Edit: Sorry for the long post, didn't mean to get on a ramble.
❤️❤️❤️ love this! Thank you for sharing your blessed life experience.
What an incredibly beautiful childhood. My heart breaks that you had to lose your parents so early and so close in timing to each other's. If this is what your ramblings are normally like then never apologize for rambling! Sending sincere love from Dixie.
How blessed you were to have such an upbringing!
Nette, that was quite a trial you went through. I cannot imagine. God bless you too. You are right!
This was far more informative than any other video or even the book
Thank you - we were trying to make a definitive video on the topic, and took a long time working on the script, filming etc. Much appreciated.
I'm late in life trying to learn to grow, 62, but so very excited too. To think in three years I have chickens and a small garden, and the beginnings of a small orchard is such a blessing. I so enjoyed this video. Keep going, your making a difference in many people's lives sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.
I’m right behind you sister!
My daughter and I both have celiac disease, and I often use cassava flour when I'm baking. I like the texture it gives much better than most of the other gluten-free flours.
It has a very nice, fine texture.
Sounds great. Many blessings everyone.
" The best food in the world is from animals"
FINALLY!! A gardener that makes sense! Im so in the right place.
I started my first garden this year in central/north Florida and I used a lot of things I’ve learned from watching this channel. I started by tilling and making 5ft by 5ft ground beds. I layered the sandy soil with things like alfalfa and manure to help repair the hydrophobic sand then I mulched everything with some dead shredded palmetto tree trunks. It did way better than I expected through spring! Now I’m thinking I want to change things up and this grocery row garden idea seems cool!
Go for it. Enjoy every minute. Ask lots of questions. Many blessings everyone.
Amazing! How did you shred the palmetto trunks? I just got a chipper but I haven't tested chipping the palmetto palm stems yet.
@@tomaitoe I actually just pulled them apart after they had sat for a bit.
Definitely add some bio char to that soil, and you'll see exponential growth
Oh David and family!!! This was a wonderful video with such excellent content for everyone! I loved that the background of the video was filled with sounds of children and adults busy with just being together in a wonderful mix of endeavors. It was all a delightful symphony of people together. It was exciting to watch the progression of the garden and I look forward to seeing more future follow ups. I have watched many of your videos but I think this is new favorite! May the seeds of goodness you plant be a mighty harvest for all ! ❤
Amen!
Loved it! This the The David the Good University!! ❤❤❤
Very nice.. I'm peacefully new into gardening. I'm still learning @ 68
Never stop! Good work, George.
I was just watching to pass the time because I only have room for a grocery row container, maybe, but this video is so packed with useful nuggets! Appreciate the visit.
DTG, standing on the shoulder of giants, and little old grannies of thousands of cultures to bring us the Grocery Row. We appreciate the translation.
Awesome video! Just finished planting my moringa, sweet potato, comfrey, kale grocery row. Can't wait to see it in the Fall
Thank you so much for this example. I have been trying to explain your method to my husband unsuccessfully. This will help enormously. So excited to start my own. My house was recently rebuilt after Harvey flood and it ruined my soil so I have spent this year allowing my yard to grow wild in effort to rebuild bio and add life to it. Next year I will be following this example closely. Thank you so much!!
Good luck!
Definitely! Maybe your husband will be inspired by this video, too! Definitely covers the basics.
David. This is a nice thing you have done. God Bless You.
It was a lot of fun.
This system isn't only working like a charm, it's by far the most enjoyable piece of garden I have. Working in the grocery row always seems easy, and it also gives off a good vibe. The diversity feeds our souls in a very GOOD way.
My grocery is going for its second year but it looks like it's been there for a while already. Incredibly lush and vigorous ❤
Thank you. It has been good seeing your updates.
@David The Good The only thing that can improve a grocery row is adding another row 👍
As you were looking at the Arapahoe berry plants it reminded me of the berry plants I got from a friend one year. He has a friend in the University of Arkansas’ AG department. This friend gave him some thornless berries that never made it to commercial sale because they are “too aggressive.” By the time I dug a couple canes to move to my garden. He had dozens if not a hundred plants. All of which derived from four. I love blackberries so much I don’t care that I can’t count how many I have now. I imagine this strain is closely related to the Arapahoe berries.
This was excellent! I watched the whole thing. I had to pause several times because...well, life happens. Where the heck were you when I started with fruit trees 15 years ago? They are a MESS!! We bought the book "Grow a little fruit tree" AFTER six years. If they grow any fruit, the critters get it. Although one year we had so many pears that it broke off branches. Then, my husband "pruned" it. Not a pear since. The minus 2 degrees in December killed our three fig trees back to the ground. But, they are coming back like gangbusters now. Thank goodness! Really enjoyed this. I had to laugh at the gal you were helping out. She knew even less than I did when I started. LOL But, I'm sure she's learned a lot just in this short time.
22:25 Now I know why I had such a hard time with the idea of a food forest. I like the organization of the grocery row gerden. I hope I will eventually have room to try this. If we are able to procure the land, I will definitely be buying your book.
Looking forward to this! Started ours last December and it’s really shaping into something beautiful! Such a different feeling to walk back from the garden to the table with the veggie or fruit we needed for the meal! Thanks Good family!
I really do enjoy the diversity of it, and the surprises as different plants emerge.
I’ve followed your grocery store gardening videos, but watching this episode is a great overall tutorial. I think I can totally do this!!
Thank you, Carolyn.
Oh, I became a carnivore about three years ago. And yet I still have a vegetable garden, my friends and family pick on me. They think I’m crazy like raw fruits and vegetables if you’re not going to eat them. You nailed it dude. It’s a hobby. 48:34
Great info on how to pick a good tree early in the year!
I’m going to have to pot my current perennials and move them into the rows when I start all this.
Lemon balm makes wonderful flavoured water. Pop a couple of sprigs in a bottle of water and leave it in the fridge for 12-36hrs. Because it's cold it takes a long time to release its flavour - but worth waiting for.
That sounds really good.
David, I'm creating the new Pharmacy row garden! Where someone could walk along the row of medicinal plants and pick the ingredients needed to make natural medicine.
Good idea
Writting from Denmark, without google translate 😉 I love to see you videos and learn so much. Most of all I love your energy and humor. Stay well
Thank you
That cat needs AA for catnip 😸🐾
Loved Sherrys excitement
Thank you so much for this! Sharing this with a gardening class tomorrow! Perfect timing.
One thing Ive learned the hard way, this system is dramatically easier with flat land. Do your rows on contour of youve got a lot of slope or make terraces, preferably on contour. Trying to do straight rows on significantly sloped land spells bad news on a heavy rain.
Also sun affects things quite a bit differently on a slope.
Put your faster growing trees/bushes (elderberries) on the south side. Theyll make more shade for the other plants and theyll be forced to grow up straighter. I tried to do my taller stuff on the north side and now everything in my garden leans to the south. That little bit o shade forces the tree (and veggies) to try to grow taller first.
Yes, good advice. You have to work with the slope.
Excellent!!
They should show this at schools
Oh WOW! Awesome!
Thank you David and all the gang for sharing this video. Great to see how it is done.
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦👍
I was thrilled to watch this video! I have taken two permaculture design courses and have had a hard time wrapping my head around tree guilds and mixing things up. This method is like a tree guild, but a little different. I love it! I’m so envious of Sherrie’s soil! We moved two years ago from and acre in north-central Illinois with amazing soil we created over 22 years, to far southern Missouri with 20 acres, half wooded, of clay that grows rocks. It’s horrific. We planted a small orchard, as well as a large garden that we’re experimenting with a variety of growing methods for annuals. I think this spring I’m going to start playing with some grocery store gardens in the orchard. The trees have been there two years, so I can add the shrubs and the smaller plants. I’ll have to do a little at a time, probably digging holes and making Biochar in them like I saw you do in another video. I also bought The Intelligent Gardener, Water Wise Gardening and Grow or Die. Besides rocks instead of soil, rain likes to tease us and then go around us. We go anywhere from 3-8 weeks between significant rainfall here.
That sounds great. You are making it happen.
So glad you did this. My daughter had me buy your grocery row garden book and we read it but we are very visual so this was very helpful..we are trying to do this in buckets..lol
Thank you. Good luck.
@@davidthegood she's joining the JR Division of the Global Gardening Homesteading Community (formerly Shed Wars) and we are still working on this project..lol..Mommy needs more than luck..but thank you!
This video is an answer to my prayer this morning for help and direction. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with others in such a clear and helpful way. You and your family are a blessing!
Thank you
Such a great presentation! Loved her insightful questions. “People need pruning too.” Loved it.
My **favorite** eggplant recipe is Imam Biyaldi. Delish!!
I love how you anticipated and addressed potential questions/concerns. For example, I saw the rototiller and was like, "What?!?" and then you explained why and how to do lasagna gardening as well. Thanks so much for these videos, David.
Thank you, Dawn.
Nice long format video, thank you for doing all the editing and taking these wonderful videos.
Thank you.
Very very interesting !! Thanks
Thank you.
Yep Alan Chadwick double dig beds are notorious for producing an amazing garden. Thanks for sharing learned a great deal!
cheers and shalom!
This is by far my favorite video, I love the longer videos David. Keep on experimenting and best of luck with your nursery business, but we know you don’t need luck when you have the best plants
This was such a wonderful video. Thank you. I just got hired to help manage a 10 acres farm, and I would love to take these examples into account. It would be beautiful to create more places like this!
Can't wait to watch this one - thanks for putting in the effort to make it!
"Why am I in shoes?" This is a very good questions. Thank you, David.
David, one of your past videos inspired me to grow mango trees from store bought mangos. The cute little guys are about 12 inches high now! We also grew pineapple plants from store bought pineapples and this year they started fruiting. So far we have three beautiful pineapples growing! I have four lemon trees I grew from seed, one is 5 feet tall now. We also grew blood orange trees from seed and they are doing well! The first one made it through freezing temps in the greenhouse so we are going to plant it in the ground this year and cover it in the winter. We live in Alabama zone 8b. I think I will overwinter the mango trees indoors though. Thanks for your inspiration! We have all of your books!
Thanks , I really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks !!😎🇺🇸😎
Ot was great to see the process again after reading the book!
This was an amazing video with such magnificent amounts of usable information! Thanks for sharing!!😊
Like the way God (Yah) picks us. Love that!
Wow. Thats a thorough prosuction. Awesome 😎👍
Lol love it... Why am i in shoes? Her enthusiasm for learning is awesome.
Composting is addictive.
Hello from Trinidad. Love this video.
People need pruning too. 😂
That tiny shovel make your job a lot harder bro. Thanks for all the knowledge as usual. Blessed.
I stand bare root trees in a bucket of water until I am ready for them. Could be overnight. I triangulate to for better placement. I want to do this as my kitchen garden. It's like a mini Garden of Eden. Love it. Thank you, David.
I live in atmore. This help a lot. Thanks for showing
That was an excellent video, thank you for sharing and educating me.
This was such an amazing Video David. The chemistry between you all, and the many tips you talked about made this fantastic watching. Can't wait to see the updates.
Thanks. We are good friends.
Have to watch a few times, i hope her stuff is doing good. Great videos.
I have a garden that I built 14 yrs ago, with 4ft wide beds with 3ft paths. I expanded it this year, and did 3 1/2ft beds with 2ft paths and I am really enjoying the slightly smaller beds. It's just that much easier to reach across.
I believe DTG is 6ft or so. 4 vs 3 or 3.5 makes a huge difference to us short folk.
My wee suburban garden is so tiny compared to this, this is a dream 🥰 I just added a hay bale garden this year, in addition to my one raised bed. (had to do something non-wasteful with the last couple years’ Fall decorations lol) Peas and green beans already rocking in them, despite my concerns about Grazon (we’ll see how it works out) But seeing this .. oh my gosh I want fruit trees and berry shrubs so badly!
How cool it must have been to have a David to come help! Like having. the Green Man smiling down on your land. 🪴🌝
David, God blessed you with a real beautiful gem. She is adorable ❤😊
She isn’t mine! But she is cool.
Tarping is great. Black plastic works well in killing vegetation and sterilizing. Rototilling disrupts the subsoil and some folks argue well against tilling. I've done tilling and no tilling and got similar results.
Yes. We used the tillage to loosen the top enough to raise the beds.
Ya I dropped seeds like you said to do, very liberating! ❤️ can’t wait to see the greenery.
I love the grocery roll garden! I'm working on mine's
Im so glad you asked her about watering and amazed she watered so little
This long form video is underrated. This is educational video on gardening for like entire process of gardening
Thank you. I would like to make more long-form videos. This took about 40 hours to produce, but it's full of information. Popcorn-length.
This is wife Kay I have learned a lot for you thank you for helping this old lady!!!!
You bet
Excited to watch
David, you're the man! You inspired so much of my gardening journey over the past 3 years.
Thank you
Great layout spacing tips. Mulch paths. Different weather in Liverpool UK. Definitely allow root seedlings to scab up in cooler wetter climates. Farmers here are losing multiple plantings and belatedly going for more woodlands and ground cover, if they're not flooded out of business. Btw
I used to sneer at labor-saving before my hernia😅.
That was awesome. I love watching the kids drop the manure on the garden. So fun to see how uninhibited they were.
What a wonderful system for growing a some of everything! We Master Gardeners need to take note of this innovative gardening method. We just added 3 fruit guilds to our fruit trees this past fall and hope to expand them into a food forest. There will be some mini swales and "grocery rows" in there too! Godspeed sir, from NE Indiana! :J
You have probably saved so many lives. 🖤 #prepping
Wow, beautiful growth!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉
This video has helped me understand the grocery row concept even better! And I saw potato SEEDS! Fantastic!
Thank you for this amazing content, David! Appreciate you and your family.
Perfect timing! I bought your book the day before yesterday and getting to see this method condensed on video and in the same region and climate that I'm in ... wow! I now have big plans for next year!
Thanks for taking us along on this personalized tutorial!
My brand new gardens (southern central FL) are a jumbled up version of super tips from you and a few other homestead gardeners! I have growth and produce after 2 months - from sandy nothingness ~ wahoo!!
Pears love to shoot up, yeah, but their branches when laden with fruit will bend down and touch the grass. Definitely need to stay on top of pruning them. Personal best suggestion via experience is to do some spring pruning, then some late fall (after dropping leaves). I do this for all my trees, tying 'markers' on throughout the growing season so I know which is best. No science behind it other than personal observations for *my* trees and micro climate. :)
I love this way of gardening! I started mine this year and it is so fun to gather food every day or so. I also love that you mentioned it’s good for the very organized to disorganized, I tend toward disorganized, and it really works well!
Good point about the organization of the garden. I’m going to go revise my biggest hügelkultur bed right now.
David the Awesome Instructor
David I totally LOVED IT 🌱🌱 I had to share and I agree we should all be doing this
Man how did I miss this one until now. Im slipping up. Going to have to up my velvet bean intake. That stuff does wonders for me. Turning all the boys I know into men. I plant the beans in their yard and dont tell them until its too late. Then I tell them about the beans and they love them. It all started from your daughters art work pack o beans. Much love God bless brother!
😍! Love it!
That was great! Good job!
I'm in FL and I have done the same simply because my husband doesn't want the fruit trees all over the yard. I planted peaches, plums, nectarines, apples, tropical cherries, herbs, Everglades tomato, African potato mint, roselle, etc. I didn't think of adding in blackberries! I picked up a lot of tips from your videos over the years, as well are your books.
Thats a very nice garden install. Great work 👏
Great vid we grow our ginger in old washing up bowls
that is an AWESOME garden center
