Good Soil Nursery
США
Добавлен 30 ноя 2020
Hello and welcome everyone, my name is Chris.
I've been gardening all my life, and after my third combat tour, I decided to start my own plant nursery. Good Soil Nursery came to be in Afghanistan of all places. I've sold fruits, vegetables although, I like to grow, and eat them selling them was never really my thing. Thats where flowers, and in particular delphiniums a flower which I am passionate about play an integral role not only in my gardening life, but also in the creation of my nursery. Join me, and please don't forget to subscribe, as you join me on this adventure of having a small nursery, I’ll tell you about different plants, tips and tricks or to just listen to my story.

You Decided To Start A Plant Nursery
Thank you so much! I'm so excited I can save my lavender! Could I ask if it is only in April that this pruning can be done? Thanks
You’re very welcome and thanks for watching. Earlier the better if pruning hard like in this video. It will give your lavender the best chance at recovery. Than the following year prune in the fall or after flowers have faded.
@@goodsoilnursery I really appreciate the reply! To clarify: it is not a good idea to do it now in Oct?
I would not. With cold weather around the corner the lavender may not have a chance to recover and succumb to the cold
@@goodsoilnursery Thank you so much!
Muy buen proceso
Thank you, and thanks for watching
I have been on the learning curve with my lavender. Trimmed mine a lot like you did but was cautioned not to dig up even to improve growing medium to sandy compost. Very exciting to see real gardening skill.
Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
What if your lavender bush blooms almost all year? Doesn’t stop producing flowers until the first frost. El Paso West Texas.
If it’s woody like the one I did in this video. I would wait until spring and when the lavender starts its new growth for the year so you can identify where to cut down to. If you’re just talking about pruning by a 1/3 I would just do that before first frost.
When should you be doing this exactly? During/before Springtime or when Summer's ending? I adopted woody lavender from someone whose father passed, because they were going to get rid of it anyway, but I'm a bit hesitant as I don't want to ruin the plants 🙈
Do it during springtime, doing it in the spring gives the lavender the best possible chance at recovery and will allow you to spot the new growth to cut down to.
Gran video 🎉
Thank you, and thank you for watching
😍 Lovely And the weather looked perfect too.
It’s a beautiful place highly recommend if you have time in Geneva. It’s free, many things to see and not to far from restaurants and the lake. Thanks for watching
Thank you, I was getting depressed looking at my beautiful bushes not looking so beautiful. I wonder if it's the extended hot, dry spells we've had this summer. I finally watered them a few times and that seems to have helped.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. It could be, however lavender are what they call sub shrubs. If you don’t prune every year they do get very woody.
When should I give the lavender a hard prune? Spring or fall?
Spring is the best time, gives the plant the best chance of recovery
I planted 15 mature delphiniums then we got a severe heat wave an most look totally dead now. I think I overwatered trying to keep them alive.
It’s possible, however any plant planted during a heat wave without an established root system has a very hard time
Great video. I need to do that to my lavender. How long did it take for your lavender to grow big and full again?
It took until the following year to grow back big and full, so let’s say you prune this year, next year they most likely will be back nice and full.
I have a blue Pacific Giant delphinium that I planted in about 2015 - so 10 years old (holding my breath!) and about 5-6 feet tall. I am near Denver, Zone 5, cold winters, wind. I put 3 tomatoe cages around them - just added a fourth - which I attach to each other and to the fence. I intend to plant a few more since I'm not sure how much longer it will live. Love them!
10 years it’s really happy where it’s at.
I was wondering about the woody part. I have had mine for two years your video is the first one to help me with quest and hopefully keep mine looking good. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching and practice makes perfect
Thank you
You’re welcome
Thin Rebar painted light green set in ground and tie in trying to hide as much of rebar as possible.So plant look self supporting .Why i paint rebar green
Rebar is a great idea
Очень люблю дельфиниумы,давно выращиваю их
I love delphiniums as well they are such a remarkable flower.
Yes no garden should miss out the beauty of delphinium.
Absolutely
Awesome video, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching
Please make a video when you blue poppies bloom
I can do that
I have to give it a try in September
Great to hear
Muchas flores
Yes there are
Thank you for the video. If these self seed, do the seeds spread and travel far? I didn’t realize how poisonous they are and I put them in a terrible spot and I don’t want them all over my front yard. I want to move them but when is the best time to move these? Thank you for any advice!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. These don’t self seed all that well with the exception of the species delphinium (Requenieii). If you are thinking about moving them fall or spring. Most plants are poisonous, and you would have to eat delphiniums for it to do anything. We have multiple dogs, cats, kids and wildlife as long as that don’t like munching on random leaves they would be fine.
My lavender has no white flowers at the top of the blue
Most lavender has purple flowers there are some varieties that have all white flowers
Thank you! I didn't know how to care for lavender and mine got so woody and sparse looking. I have hope now 🥰
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. Hope it works out for you.
Gran vlog
Thanks
Once the seeds germinate in the little trays....how do you proceed to transplant the seedlings into a permanent location, and how deep shd you plant the seedlings.?? Thank You. 🙏🙏
You can surface sow the seed, but I prefer sowing them a 1/4” deep. I move them from a 98 cell tray, to a 50 cell tray, than a 3 1/2”x 5” pot, then finally a 5” pot when root development is good in the last pot I put them in the ground asap
Such a beautiful place.
It really was, I highly recommend going there if you have the opportunity.
Thank you! The life you just saved was my lavender plant
You are very welcome.
It seems one would want to control/minimize woody growth? Otherwise, as the plant matures, the green growth will appear further away from the root zone. This correct?
You would want to control that, unfortunately most people who buy plants like lavender are not told that at purchase or just don’t know.. Anyone, I mentioned this in the video who wants or buys lavender should prune a 1/3 of the plant after blooming. Most people don’t know that and typically aren’t told that when they buy the plant this video showed plants that weren’t taken care of, and how to help remedy the issue.
Thanks! I grew a bunch of lavender in 3.5 inch pots. They completed a full year of growth and wasn’t sure how to prune since most videos don’t really talk about growth in young plants. After your video, it makes sense now to prune after the flowering. This will encourage new growth at the base, allowing that new growth to catch up to the pruned parts, thus creating a bushier lavender.
@@mghtrock48 you're welcome
Omg I just threw away 3 lavendar plants that look like yours. Why didn't I see this video sooner. Thanks this is the 2nd year of purchasing Lowes lavendar plants and they die.
You’re welcome. It may or may not be a tad more expensive sounds like you should check out some local nurseries in your area.
My lavender got water logged and looks awful but will give it a good cut and see what happens.
Just look for where the green growth is popping up and trim above that.
@@goodsoilnursery I’ve probably over chopped but hopefully it will come through.
I use painter's tape as well. Easy to write on and easily removed 😊
It sure is
Can i cut the seeds while green
Wait until they turn brown so you ensure that you’ll have a higher germination rate.
First year growing delphiniums here in Zone 6B! I found this video very helpful thank you for sharing your knowledge very much appreciated.
You’re welcome
curious to see what it looks like if it survies?
Wish I could post pictures, out of the 5 I pruned hard 3 survived and are looking fantastic.
Casually "Blood, fish, and bone meal" 😆 Love the backyard feel of the video and you just sharing what you care about. I don't mind the lawn mower here and there..I do recommend getting $25 lav mics so that we can hear your wisdom better, though. God bless you
Thanks for watching and I’ve been looking for mics those seem like really good mics.
😊
Thanks for watching
Muy buena labor
Thank you very much
❤
Thanks for watching
It's a good video except that you went too fast and didn't get enough close-ups to show exactly where you were cutting. If you slow down a little bit and showed more of where exactly you cut according to the new growth, it would very much improve the video. Thank you for your time though.
Cut just above the new growth. Thank you for watching
Very informative videos, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome thanks for watching
Thank ya bro From Massachusetts
You’re welcome. If you’re ever interested in some plants, we are working on shipping plants as we speak.
You’re welcome, and if you’re ever interested in plants we are looking at being able to ship plants this year.
You didn’t mention how much of each. Is it 50/50 compost and perlite? And I have a bag of worm castings from last year; are they still viable? Sorry for all the questions I’m binge watching you for tips in the garden.
I don’t do 50/50 because of the plants, i grow it’s probably closer to 75 compost to 25 petite then add a bit of worm castings. Think of it like a witch’s brew or making soup, whatever your plants needs are. If I was doing succulents I would be most likely be doing 50/50. That’s fine I’ll answer all the questions.
I have had good luck with just throwing columbine seeds in various areas, also dividing them. Also cosmo seeds just throwing them in bare spots in sunny locations; however, they are annuals here (western Washington-zone 8b) seeds are cheap enough, just remembering to do it within the seed planting window. Poppies I haven’t had good results but I love California poppies. Fox glove grows wild here you see them along roadsides and highways. I bought the Dalmation varieties on clearance and they have reseeded nicely (fairy garden looking.)I want to try the Cleome and verbena seeds..can I plant them out now 3/22 spring in my flower beds? Any extra info is greatly appreciated 😊
Very nice
Can you do the same with Heather? Mine looks woody like your lavender -straggly and gappy instead of full.
Heather you can’t cut back as hard or be as drastic. Without seeing the plant I would remove any old dead/dying branches. Then from here on out cut stems back 2/3 after flowering, and over time it should grow i to its own.
I’m in zone 8b outskirts of Seattle. Rain all last week and this week. I have one in a big pot I lost my other 13 that I dug up and moved to this place 6 years ago. They did okay the first year of transplanting but started dying off 2-3 years. The one I left in the pot seems to like it. All under partial shade as I have lots of trees throughout my beds. Can I use miracle grow potting mix for the cuttings? Or will the professional Sunshine 4 Aggregate mix from home depot work?…it comes in the purple and white bag. I have a very big bag of that from last year. Also my rooting hormone is probably 3 or 4 years old from house plant cuttings. I don’t see an expiration date. Thanks for your time and this! video.
Try to plant them in the sunniest spot possible underneath the trees and make sure to add some fresh compost every year due to the fact the trees feeder roots may be sucking up many of the nutrients. You could use either just firm them down in the container or growing tray to help hold the cuttings, looking at both the Sunshine seems to be the better of the two. The rooting hormone should still be fine. When you take the cuttings have a humidity dome over the top or a good bag. What’s hard to see in this video when you take the cutting take a piece of the crown with it. You can also lift and divide your delphiniums if you would like more. If you want check out The Delphinium Society on Facebook it’s full of great people, information and if you want you can join their society online.
Great list! Gateway gardening!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Thanks for this presentation. Very informative.
You’re welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this excellent presentation. I've been flying blind with my lavender.
You’re welcome, lavender was a learning curve for me as well and I’m very happy this helped you.
That's clever ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching hope it helps
