I'm new to greenhouse gardening. Ive built my greenhouse on a raised deck (we have steeply sloping ground with shallow soil on bedrock). I'd really like to grow from raised beds rather than pots or planters - is this possible in a greenhouse that isnt in contact with the ground? I was going to use the left over decking, but im not sure how to manage drainage? Thanks

Aspen almost sounds like Aspirin :)

Thank you so much, this was the exact video I needed. I never know what "zone" we are in. Avalily is right up the street from me so I'm VERY grateful for this concise guide to when to plant.

So the root has to be made as tea ?

Do the leaves also contain Salicin? I once heard a Russian elderly man say he would sometimes make tea from the leaves of young Aspen trees to treat a fever. I wonder if the leaves contain the same chemical compounds as the inner bark.

I've used the powder as a mosquito repellent and it seems to work just fine.

I've been a forester for the past 18 years. I've never heard it called a "trembling Aspen". I was taught "quaking Aspen", Which may or may not be traditionally correct according to the Latin name. Though for communication with the rest of the world.... Well you know. Also not meaning to come and dump on your video. I like your videos and I think you are very well educated and have taught me quite a few things. Thank you.

Cool and interesting!

Your mom gave me a tour of your yard on Friday, impressive. You do a phenomenal job.

That's why they have put the seed vault in the cold

Nice video ! You've done a lot with your space- thanks for sharing. Any tips for propagating the goji berry- can you make cuttings or divide? THANKS

Wonderful! I think I have everything but arnica... I now NEED arnica. Oh and no horseradish... well- because... lol! But I do have lots of comfrey in a couple of larger forest gardens. Also just trying winterberry and wild cranberry in the Berry walk this year so will be sure to take your advice in building fungal dominance! Thanks for the awesome tour! Also want to grow more ostrich ferns for fiddle heads- a tough one in high desert. Hostas are edible too! Oh and the Romeo cherry of the Romance series only grows 4-6 ft (slowly) I have Cupid and Juliet too! LOVE your garden style!

New to greenhouse gardening. In planning the garden beds I am feeling like 20” wide is wide enough for my small body, is there a downside to that width for things like tomatoes, squash, melons, cucs? Thanks for the great video.

Is the parasitic compound the same as the quinine substitute I read about from inner bark? Do you have a tincture recipe?

My GH in Calgary is also like a jungle!

Thanks Kalista, super helpful video for us!

I’m a little baby duck quack quack quack quack quack not a hater

Mom is that you The one in the purple shirt

I make a delicious chickweed Pesto but be sure to food process it because those little internal stems can wreak havoc in your gut (like a binder vine invasion).

Thanks Kalista! How does Black Poplar compare to Trembling Aspen? Are the medicinal qualities similar?

Thanks for the video! Loved how straight forward and to the you are. Question for ya! If your beds don't have bottoms, can the root system extend down into the natural earth, perhaps depending on how compacted the soil is? If so, what would be the point of adding bottoms to a garden bed? Ok I'll squeeze in a second question too! Before filling my beds with soil, I put in old logs from around the property, after learning that they'll slowly break down adding nutrients to the soil (after a year or so of taking some from the soil first, so I hear!). I'm wondering if the roots will have any trouble growing around these logs. I left 2-5" gaps between them hoping any roots could continue growing unhindered. Thanks again for the vid, I'm currently enrolled in and quite enjoying the VERGE PDC, after spending years aimlessly experimenting with permaculture techniques, haha. Finally nice to have some direction and guidance. ✌🏼

Thanks, I'm in zone 4 as well. Trying to hone in my starting times, this helps a lot.

This is such a good example of how so many (most) of us in this society have lost touch with our surroundings and the earth in which we live. I grew up on a prairie farm where the aspen (we called them poplar trees) were the most common tree. We didn't pay much attention to it and did not understand any of the medicinal values you have mentioned. Many years later when I returned from my prodigal ways to try my hand at farming, I did make use of these trees but only as firewood to provide warmth for my family. Only now, in my "later" years am I beginning to appreciate the plants and trees indigenous to this area (Treaty 6 Territory) in a way that expands my gratitude for the bounty of the earth. This in turn encourages me to double down on the pursuit of Permaculture in the upcoming online Verge PDC course .

Great info Kalista, I have not used Aspen much , but will after hearing all it's attributes.

Thank you. What size is your green house ?

Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make this.
