please do an update.
Alright the people have spoken! An update will be included in the garden tour that I will put up next week!
@@jacquesinthegarden, Thank you!
thank you
Please update it.
@@jacquesinthegarden Democracy in action, y'all!!! 🗳☑
"If you guys wanna see an update on that" IF he says! We would watch you grow hair. Of course we want the updates! Just make the video garden boy! 😋
Haha it shall be done!
I love this comment 😂
Garden boy haha
Quite apt
I’ve only discovered this channel, been watching religiously since.
Would love to see an update on the progress of the bed flip.
yes to an update on the chop and drop bed!
Definitely would like an update on the bed flip.
Jacques my good man, what you said about the manual work, getting exercise and feeling connected to the soil really resonates with me, I feel this is an important part of this lifestyle! Definitely would be interested in a follow up on the chop and drop progress! cheers
Agree!! It's so invigorating, isn't it!
I just don't understand the desire to take the work out of it, obviously if you aren't physically able to I get that but otherwise to me it's a pleasure and a great way to connect. 🙌
Last year I didn't thin my peppers, so some of them had a friend they went into the same hole with. They were as healthy and productive as the singles but also helped hold each other up. I saw no negative effect so this year I have let them keep their friend again.
Really would love an update on how the single planted pepper does vs the double!
I would definitely love an update on the chop and drop bed 🤗
That's such a great point about enjoying the physicality of gardening! Sometimes working smarter IS working harder! 👍
ALWAYS interested in your updates...I've learned SO much from you guys
chopping and dropping cover crops has been on my mind this week. perfect timing!
Your flowers are looking beautiful! And I always love to see an update on a good garden project!
Part of what makes your channel attractive, Jacques, is that you are real. You don’t try to make everything look perfect. So when you say that you’re willing to do a chop and drop for us to see later, we all say, yes! Of course! It’s really quite comforting to hear you say as you’re doing something in the garden, “this took a lot longer than I thought it was going to take.” That’s where we all live! Those are the kinds of things that help us connect to you and always want to see your videos. God bless your farm and your family! 💚💚
Please do an update, I’m very curious about how the burlap does! Your garden is so beautiful and inspiring. ✨🌱
Definitely want the update! And cooking suggestions when the peppers produce!
Thanks for taking us along today! I'll be able to plant tomatoes and peppers in a week or so. Exciting!
what zone are you?
i love your comment about why you dont use a machine.....to be more connected to the process is a major part of home gardening and i think that the people who look at what is efficient miss this point. I have heard and agree that efficiency is the bane of resilience which is again one of the big reasons for a home garden. This chop drop and cover method is similar to one i have seen by a fella who uses it to reclaim depleted gardens in his area of Japan
It's something that blew my mind! So many people commented saying I was wasting my time and that it looked like a lot of work. But I am choosing to do the work and I enjoy it so much more than listening to a lawn mower
Updates are great. You know Jacques I appreciate you sharing your experiences in the garden.
I would absolutely like to see an update!! Just wanted to add that I love the way you garden. I feel like we have a similar gardening techniques… mind you, I have nowhere near the garden you do (also I’m from Ny) … but the garden I do have I feel like I use a lot of the same techniques and I have picked up quite a few good ones from you!! One of the many reasons I love watching your videos! 🫶🏽💚
Love to hear it! Gardening in NY is definitely a different beast!
Man do I know it!
Definitely interested in an update. Including an update of the pepper planting. It's interesting that you're finding your peppers do better when closer together, and even tried putting two together.
I just started my compost pile today 💪🌱 I turned over A LOT of grass to build my garden beds, and insted of leting all that grass and clover go to waste, I made a lasagna of grass, wood chips and dead leaves from last fall. I did my best to calculate de C/N ratio 🤞 let's hope for the best!
That's a great use! Should be a healthy bed when it's ready
I vote for an update. Love what you're doing especially showing the details on how you do it. Great stuff!
I loved the short on the basket you made for your mom on Mother’s Day. It was wonderful, best gift ever!
She definitely appreciated it!
Yes please do an update. New gardener here. Learning all I can.
Would love to see an update. I enjoy seeing the changes you make and that you explain why you choose to do it that way.
I love updates where can see how things develop :)
I’m with you! Yes to gardening=exercise ❤ and yes to update
Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
I live in Minnesota. My version of the chop and drop is similar but it happens overwinter. I chop the garden, Mulch with straw, and let it sit over winter. When everything thaws I have a nice organic layer on my garden :D
Sometimes I wish I had some amount of freeze but I honestly don't think I could handle it 🥶
@Jacques in the Garden its nice. As much as i envy ppl who can grow year round there's something nice about getting to do a reset every year
I absolutely want to see how this bed looks in a week! Thanks!
Would love to see an update on the bed flip!
Yes, please update.
Just a side note.... A lot of gardens can be quite stunning to visit, but your garden is one in which a person would like to linger.
Friends usually linger as I make them smell things and sample out of the garden, most people leave with a potted plant or cutting as well :)
My grandmother puts 2 peppers every 30-35cm for 50+ years. This way the support each other and you have more harvest. You should call your relatives in Bulgaria for some advices 😊
That is great to hear, I have to go back now as a gardener and see how people are doing things over there! The best produce I ever ate was produce I had whenever I visited Bulgaria.
Your garden is looking great. You inspire me to just get out there in the garden, experiment, and have fun.
I love that your channel is still on the smaller side; I made a comment this passed week and you actually replied. I have enjoyed watching you and your garden grow over the last two years I’ve been following you. Your garden style is a little wild while your personality is more down to earth and it makes for great viewing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I try to keep up! I am glad you are enjoying it 🙌
Always want to see updates. I love the longer videos. 🌱
Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
I tied my cucumbers the same way and its super easy. Such a easy DIY trellis. Yes, we would love the update. I love the turquoise color greenstalk.
It's a wonderful system for sure! Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
This was great! I really hope to see an update on the chop and drop bed!
(cathy brock) Yes, definitely would like an update on the bed flip and the garden as a whole.
Definitely do an update. I just started getting into making my own compost and I love to see the results of others!
please do an update love all of your content.
Go go gadget worms!! Update please 😊. Im growing the lemon spice too.
Yes please to update. I miss your end to end process videos!
I definitely want an update!
Update please! Love your process! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Please an update, on the chop and drop bed. Garden is looking amazing, I'm growing a pollinator patch, because yours looks so good😊
I have decided to grow as many of my peppers as I can in 5 gallon buckets. They often last more than one year here (NE FL)(esp hot ones) and the bucket is the perfect size for their roots. I have orange jalapenos that I grew from seed in buckets that have 15 peppers on them right now. I love that I can move them around as I need the space or the lighting changes, and don't have to pull them up to make space for something when they're not dead yet.
I also find that 5 gallons seem to be the ideal container size for peppers!
I am a 82 woman abd love your chopping things up u r right good exercise
It beats the gym any day
Hi Jacques, thanks for the informative video, always love your content and style. Didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed on TH-cam but I fixed that! Happy gardening
I'd love to see an update :)
My eggplant roots were so tough to get out of the ground after 2/years! Thanks for all your tips on chopping and dropping!
Yes, we need an update on the bed flip...and the peppers. I am doing the same with peppers and I am curious to see how well they do. I did 3 cayenne 🌶 in a root pouch last year and they did amazingly better than the single planted one
Would love to see *all the updates! I actually just separated two peppers I had in a single cell. I kept them together when I planted too. They were a yellow green compared to my other peppers from the same "batch" and so I just think they needed room to grow
Yeah that makes sense, I am curious to see how the two in 1 does!
Thanks for the Chop and Drop/ lasagna bed refresh, yes on an update!! I'm in Coffee (and wine) country in the PNW, and great reminder on getting coffee bags!
I joined an Edible Landscaping project this spring, and we have 26 beds (most big grape boxes that are 4x4', and some round metal) along A[pine Avenue, in the old granery district. I'm tending a Tea Garden, with Tea camellia and some herbs in one of the squares. We had a weeding /compost day, where each bed got several inches of rich compost from the founder, Ramsey McPhillips, which included bio-char. Several weeks later we hosted a Garden Faire on the Avenue, and gave away over 3000 seedlings - mostly edibles plus some flowers! Ramsey brought bags of his compost to give away - tucked into coffee bags!
I also enjoy the physicality and connection with the natural world inherent in gardening - and miss it when my meals don't have something from my garden or locally grown! A friend gave me a start of a favorite salad herb, Nepetella, (Clinopodium nepeta) which has a 'minty/oregano' flavor, and is one of the fresh herbs I love picking just before adding. My youngest grandson loves purslane, and I was happy to show him one that came as a tag-along in some Roselle I got last weekend.
Ah, gardens
Love to hear all of this and the repurposing of material around you. Nepetella is one I have been wanting to try and I actually got seeds for it, excited to try it soon!
I am with you 100%, I like to work in the garden, and I need the exercise, walking a chihuahua only gets you so far.
I’m allergic to peppers but wouldn’t eat them even if I wasn’t. I’ll eat anything made with tomatoes (bbq sauce, ketchup, salsa) just not tomatoes by themselves or sliced on a sandwich or chopped on a taco, or a salad, etc. That being said, I watch your videos in their entirety even when they are primarily about tomatoes and peppers just because you share so much knowledge. And the calming tone of your voice makes for an over all pleasant experience.
Haha I'm glad you are along for my tomato obsession, I appreciate the comment and I am glad you are still getting something out of those videos!
Yes, I would love to see your update!
Great video. Would love to see a update 🌱🌿👍
I frequently put pepper plants that are in the same hole (usually two seeds got into the same cell and by the time I got them out, the roots had fused.) I never had a problem with it and always get good production. You should be just fine! Keep us posted on the peppers and the tomato!
That was very helpful. While “chop and drop” probably seems self-explanatory, it really helped me to actually see someone do it, and I would love to see a follow up.
Definitely would really appreciate seeing the update in a couple weeks! Thank you
I do recommend passing in the first year for berries. I’m on year 2 after letting the strawberry plants grow last year (and even getting some runners to replace lost bare roots) and the strawberry plants are going gangbusters this season. I noticed the plants I developed from runners last year aren’t producing flowers either but mostly runners as well. It might just be the cultivar I got but it seems that it’s just not really worth growing berries the first season.
I’m also growing them in the greenstalk containers but I laid out the tiers on the ground instead lol. I prefer the greenstalks bc the berries hang over the side instead of rotting on the ground.
I am too greedy sometimes, I just can't help myself. Good point on the greenstalk allowing the berries to hang over
Yes please show the process of the decomposition of the garden bed.
I loved it, you covered a lot, and it was great! I reeeeally liked seeing the big bank of flowers already growing next to the seedling peppers you put in. Yes, do folliw-up.
Your garden is just like mine! I've also got fava beans all over the place and i chop and drop them too! And then my zuchini is like the same exact size as yours.
🙌
Would love an update on your progress.❤
Your flowers are absolutely beautiful!!! I'm being pretty basic with my interplanted flowers this year, just some Marigold, Zinnia, and Nasturtium. Currently my peppers are being attacked by insects, but every time they eat a couple of leaves the plants seem to push more out! I also have flowers on a couple of them as of last week!
I'm growing those zucchini and they're amazing. I have had to do my own pollinating but it's actually fun 😊
I would reccomend soaking the chopped/dropped bed material with a soil inoculant. It helps those root nodes break down and become available 👍👍
Do you put on a bee costume when you’re pollinating?
I thought about it and settled on compost instead since it was easier for me haha
Thank you for the video! I have had a ton of questions about this method for a long time and I am so glad you guys put out a video explaining. Regarding the video, specifically the subtitles, I do have a complaint: I am a bit hard of hearing and often rely on subtitles to enjoy videos. However, I can't really do that when the subtitles, meant for the hard of hearing, are used as an advertising method. Please, for your videos, epic gardening videos, and the other channels the Epic Gardening company produces, please use them as originally intended to create a more inclusive gardening community. I greatly appreciate all the information y'all put out and would like to continue being a part of this awesome community! Thank you!
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing an update video to find out how your plants all turn out, as well as the chop and drop progress.
I love your videos. Learned so much, even tough living and gardening in Switzerland, not everything applies to our climat here. Thank you for your inspiration!
And updates!! Yessss please!!!!
Love to hear this! Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
YES! we NEED an update of that bed. please.
Jacques, I love your videos because you have a lot of experience and I learn things just watching you work that you don’t even realize you are teaching.
As a visual learner I always try to make sure I am showing alongside telling, very happy to hear this
Would love to see the cabbage ferment 😊 Love your style... have learned so much.
Thanks Jacque, another great vlog. Would love to see an update.
Yes on the update. After watching your earlier pepper video, I started a bunch more peppers . I’m super excited for them. Your flowers look amazing.
Update is included in my latest garden tour video and thank you!
Definitely want an update! 🌿 The addition of flowers made ur garden even more beautiful.
Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
Yes please on the update. Can never have too many, I say. I learn something every time. :-) Thanks Jacques!
Update is included in my latest garden tour video!
@@jacquesinthegarden Yay! Thanks!
First time planting squash this year, got 12 so far. Have 2 more on the way. Fun plant, and fits well in stews.
😂I've bought MANY gardening supplies from Grocery Outlet! I would love to see an update on the chop and drop bed.
Sometimes they really do have some amazing deals !
Take a shovel and incorporate the chopped biomass into the top layer of the soil. Learned it from very experienced gardening instructor at UC Santa Cruz
I would love to see an update on the chopped bed. Thanks!!
100% interested in an update! super helpful!
Saw the update before this! Great method, we've not had a very good summer here in uk and I've lost a few crops I think I might use this method to refresh some beds and use the time not tending those beds to work on some restructuring of the garden.
Yassss to an update. And still hoping for some Jacque in the kitchen content!
Jacques the teacher…thank you for your knowledge 👍👍👍
Def wanting an update 😊 we are all one ❤️🙏🏻
Lovely I am excited to see how it works over time 😊
Love your method of instruction! Thanks!
Definitely give us that update
Yes to an update on the chop and drop/bed flip.
I also grew alot of Fava, followed by corn, but i just chopped and added to my compost bin. I wasn't sure how to do the chop and drop method. Now I know for next time.
I’m growing emerald delight and I have one that’s almost ready to go. That’s one more than I got last year . 😊
🙌 every year something gets better! International airport
Yes please do an update. Great video. Informative
Follow up and multiple stage videos are the best
Comment for the bed update in 2-3 weeks. Great video.
Thank you for the updates :))
yes would love an update on the bed flip!
Yes please update chop and drop. I started this last year and want to see how someone else does it. Thanks
Jacques, we always want updates on what you do -- your garden is wonderful to look at and we learn so much!
Why are the Pride of Madeira looking so green at the moment? When is their prime bloom time?
Thank you!
This year I feel like they bloomed a little early, probably from the rain. Usually it's spring/summer and generally 1 bloom, I may go through and prune it all back once they are fully spent
