If you are looking at ways to saving on your food bill, diet, or yard then look at this channel to show growing food in an urban setting is not as hard as one might think it is. I have serval years of experience with urban gardening with maintaining food security and land management with a city lot that is pesticide free and chemical free when I can be. However, being in an urban setting does not mean one cannot compost, be an organic gardener, keep honeybees, be more nature friendly, and make our own soil. Food to fork is a great way to improve the food on the table while reducing the costs at the grocery store.
Fall Roundup and Review
General discussion of end of year things to do. Those things like migration for butterflies and birds, local food, late blooming flowers, garden cleanup. Also getting prepared for mulch making and composting. #gardening #growfoodathome #grow #organicgardening

Art Of Compost: Retaining Heat and Review of Modifications to the Heap
Просмотров 19314 дней назад
Final thoughts on Hot Composting with water bottles, where to place, and in on big stack or different spots. Along with keeping the compost pile warm enough to keep the water bottles hot enough to heat up the heap. Which makes the system still in the working it out phrase but shows potential for faster compost making. #compostpile #compostbin #grow #growathome #organicgardening
Art of Composting: Adding Heat
Просмотров 53621 день назад
Previously I showed how adding hot water bottles can add extra heat in a pile with low nitrogen content. However, the magic number of 150 degrees F or 65 degrees C is a big huddle for many home composters. Therefore, by adding more water bottles into the core and more grass clippings throughout the pile to even out the heat and enhance the amount of heat in the heap. #gardening #compostheap #gr...
Landscaping with Rocks and Using Shrubs of Privacy.
Просмотров 3728 дней назад
Landscaping with Rocks can add a permeant and natural look while adding natural shapes. Although more costly than wood however the color and shape of the rocks in use can add more interest in the land space. While certain plants can be used to provide more privacy with raised beds. This video shows how to make use of both items. #gardening #grow #landscaping
Let's Talk About Bee Managament
Просмотров 20Месяц назад
This is my 100th video which I talk about how I manage my honeybees and why I do not like opening up the hive a lot. That is how I like to manage my honeybees and that is okay. If I see a problem, I will correct the issue otherwise I will be as evasive as I can and allow the honeybees to do what they want to do. #beekeeping
Compost Heap Checkup

Summary of the Compost Heap (pile) after some adjustments. The pile still has issues with heat retention and that will need to be worked off in the next video. For the lack of nutrients for the microorganisms fertilizes such as add bone meal which will also help heat the pile up. #compost #gardening #growfoodathome #grow
The Art of Compost: Adding Extra Heat and Air
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.Месяц назад
Compost is both an act of science and an art forum. I run two different systems and often time my compost suffers usually due to low heat. Therefore, I need to add more heat, regulate air flow and water better. Air flow is better with chicken wire, garden wire, or a perforated pipe in the center of the pile. The heat can be aided with hot water bottles can act as a heat sink which will act as a...
Summer is Hurting My Garden, and the Honeybees Are Doing Great.
Просмотров 32Месяц назад
This summer has been very rough on the garden. Low return on food production, more watering needs. However, this does not make a failure rather a learning experience to better understand for next season. I also show you what is doing well such as the garden huckleberries in bloom and fennel which helps the honeybees. If you find yourself in a similar situation don't give up but include those ex...

Onion Seed Update and an Announcement
That’s no grape tomato, that’s nearly a full size tomato! Goodness gracious!
Are you spilling your beer or liquor in the bins? Or bong water? Or is that a natural speech impuderment?
No beer and soda for the microbial guys. I use rain water. The voice yes I do have an impediment.
@@tulsaurbanfarmer I was panicked for a day. My seizure medication causes audio distortion that makes everyone sound the way you talk. I thought I was going to have find a new prescription.
@@TerrySlaven-zd3um Sorry you had/have the issue. I will try to perform better in the next video, so the issue is less noticeable. Thank you for alerting me to the issue.
@@tulsaurbanfarmer Have you tried beer or liquor or bongs? It helps with seizures.
I try to tell everyone . but they want to kill them.
As a beekeeper I always ask if they grow tomatoes or blueberries. Bumblebees are great for increasing the yield of those two plants
Beautiful. We have 2 African Basil & 1 Magic Mountain Basil (mostly for the bees, they love them) and 10 Italian Sweet Basil in our garden. 🍃
Thanks for sharing!
His wings turned into a prism!😮
Drill a bunch of holes in half the length a pvc pipe and put in the middle of your compost to the base. Heat rises. As heat rises from the compost the cooler air gets pulled in through the pipe to the bottom of your pile bringing in oxygen
I didn't have a pvp on hand hence the chicken wire however that does lead me to think about using both and turning the gap from the chickenwire into a keystone. A layer within a layer
Thanks for the tips!
Best compost is NO compost is easier and saves hours if just leave the weeds where they are and let the rot.
In terms of saving labour this is true. However, those weeds can choke out the other plants. Then there's the issue of roots and seeds. In your suggestion letting them rot will help but how will you limit the growth the following season?
@@tulsaurbanfarmer I have used this method for 50 years and no problem. How your weeds in dry weather and leave where they are, this does 3 jobs, suppresses weed seed from germinating and retains moisture and saves you lots of labour twice as one you don't gather the weed and take to compost and then again when you after to take it back again. Use your brain instead of your mussel..
If I seem like I'm disagreeing with you I'm not. Just as my method will not be like yours and that is an individual art and is truly unique. That is the point here in different ways and methods to speed up and find easy ways.
@@tulsaurbanfarmer Each too his own. If we all did things the same way life would be boring. When I worked in other peoples gardens I did it there way and found it un productive and time waisting, but you know what people are like when they are set in their ways then a young man comes along and tells them a different way to save time and money, they think you are a fool, barely a kid and he thinks he knows more than me. So I gave up trying too tell them and just took their money and did it their way. When I got home I thought, how much land will I need to build a compost bin for my 6 acres. That's as far as it got as I stuck to my method the same method all professional growers use that are worth anything.
here waste is charged by weight. if you can get rid of food scraps and other organic matter by putting it on a pile and flipping it every couple of days for a few weeks you save money and get a good workout.
That little Flying Dragon orange plant has a lot of growing potential to a big tree
It's maximum height is 10 feet, however the thorns can make a great hedge asking as it stays above -10F
I also live in Tulsa, greetings.
Gretting to a fellow resident. I hope the content inspires you.
Nice presentation
Your compost alley looks a lot like mine. Except mines between a hedge and trees. I get better results mixing grass clippings with other stuff like browns and garden kitchen waste. That way it doesn't tend to mat up like it does by itself. Cheers!
I will be talking about was to limit or reduce that issue next video. Thank you for pointing that out.
I see you collect rain water, thats awesome and Environmentally friendly. The only real con I see is it gets stale from sitting too long and not being chlorinated.
Swamp water can be applied to plants that are not producing fruit or vegetables. I always recommend drain holes to be used, one for ground contact and helps drainage, unless you want swamp water.
Looks like you'll have a a great garden!
I hope so!
Video starts at 1:21. A few points that were missed. 1. Leaves will not break down without moisture. So wet them thoroughly. 2. Air flow helps but isn't required. If leaving in a closed trash bin like the one shown, cover it to preserve the moisture, block light, and prevent excess rain from pooling at the bottom. 3. If your pile is over 2-3 cubic feet, most leaves will heat up during an initial thermal phase. Adding worms at this time would be smart, as they will find a temperature they like and and stay there eating your leaves all winter. The result will be a combination of leaf mold and worm castings, it'll break down faster, and is great for plants. 4. If you won't be adding worms, ground contact is essential. The worms will find it and help break it down much faster.
Thank you for your information. I don't add worms to the bin for a few reasons. We can have hard winters out here. Ground contact is ideal, however the leaves will still breakdown at a slower rate.
@@tulsaurbanfarmer Worms will survive in freezing zone 4 winters since the a big enough pile (over 3-4 cubic feet) will stay about 100 degrees all winter if built in mid to late Fall.
Our leaves are falling off before they turn colour here on southern Vancouver Island because of drought, too. We shred them up for leaf mold, mulch and, of course, bedding for my worm farms! ~ Sandra
Leaf mold and worm castings hold 100% water weight, which is a great way to counter drought. I have not used leafs for the worm farm, something I should think about.
I enjoyed your video, I just started my backyard garden a week ago in Florida.
My mother is from St Petersburg. Hopefully once your garden gets started you will be able to have a better selection and better quality of food.
Well fed geese

Nice
Thanks
Audio issue with the video,
Sweet little hummingbird!
Indeed!
At first. I thought it was the weirdest looking bumblebee ever…
They get mistaken for a lot of things to be completely honest.
Man, it took me seeing the garden the second time before I realized how big it is. You got a farm back there! I can’t wait to see more.
This was a good video explaining the reasons for gardening. I enjoyed it!
Thank you for your comment and encouragement to continue with more videos
Gente faltou o cara do cabelão😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They do like to get in my hair.
