Collard Seed Selection: A Labor Intensive Task With A Delicious Incentive
Collards bloom and set seed over the course of several weeks, starting in late winter and going well into spring. This presents the opportunity to select several strains from the Utopian Seed project’s Ultra Cross Collard Mix, but to achieve this requires the daily removal of the flower buds of undesirable strains of collards. Once the selected strain sets seed its flowers can become a part of those being picked daily and a new strain can be selected for. Rather than this being a tedious chore the culinary attributes of collard flower buds and flower stalks make this labor intensive process a relished spring harvest ritual.

We love blueberries and so do birds! However, if we don't make an effort to head the birds off then there won't be any blueberries for us. It's pretty easy to net them but beware the netting can be deadly to snakes.

Spectacular Soil

While transplanting Egyptian spinach into beds where it had previously failed, Pat noticed incredible soil aggregation and an abundance of earth worms as well as sow bugs. However, the latter also known as roly-polys though mostly beneficial, can in some cases go rogue and prove enormously destructive. But fear not: we've got a solution for you!
Mixing Potting Soil

In this video we demonstrate how to use concrete reinforcing wire and bamboo to make a quick and easy trellis system that can be used to support seven tomatoes at a time. This set-up makes for the ultimate tomatillo trellis because it prevents them from becoming too jammed in together as is the case when using a cage or the Florida weave.

Best Practices for Utilizing Leaf Mold
This was a great video! Thanks for all the information!
You should use a small shovel it works better .😊
At first I thought that was wood chips behind him. THAT IS A LOT OF LEAVES! My gardening disorder had me drooling over that pile - lol. A pile that big would REALLY benefit from occasionally turning that pile with a loader to keep the air mixed in for better/faster decomposition. When I gather my leaves, I mow them into a row several times to grind them up as much as possible. Then, when I collect them, I use a DIY leaf vac device behind my mower that grinds them up even more as they pass through the mower blades and then the collector fan. After all this, the leaves are already broken down pretty small by the time they get to my bins. Having a massive pile like he has would be nearly impossible to handle that much material to break it down - especially since his pile is being added to quite often by the landscape companies dumping there. What a great system. The landscapers are happy to have a place to dump for free, the land owner is happy to be getting all of the leaves for free - DELIVERED no less! And his garden is reaping all the benefits! If he gets enough companies to dump and a big enough pile, eventually he could easily sell the leaf mold to area gardeners. Only in America baby! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
i got several started with the winter sow method; if i had to do it again, i would sow the seeds directly on the ground where i want it to grow with the top of a milk jug or plastic dome with a hole on top for the water to drip in....it's true that the flavor is extra strong... the aroma of it is delightful...trying to figure out how to get my laundry and the whole house to smell like lovage.... somewhere i read "use it like celery"....and i generally put a lot of celery in everything as a complement to bell peppers and onions (holy trinity), but it was a mistake to chop a stalk of lovage and use it in any one pot. good advice: put a stalk in a pot and let it flavor the soup in a few minutes (seconds?) and quickly remove it....thank you!
I divide mine constantly....giving to people...and it is thriving.
Thank you 🌱
@ 4:30 Do I understand, to leave the roots growing through the leaf mold when taking the leaf mold to grow plants?
also incredible for healing wounds including hemorrhoids, bc of soft texture & size of the leaves - perfect to use as a natural bandage that will comfort & soothe the skin
I take a handful of leaves chop them up finely and dry them. I then use it for tea which I like very much. This time of year I just make the tea with fresh leaves. I also like just picking the leaves and chewing on them - this I do almost daily I like it so much.
Wouldnt a short day onion mature well in the north as well? Before the days get long there, the days are short.
You talk more about your understand and knowledge about nutriments and very little at all about the best ways to use Leaf Mold. STAY on TOPIC. Don't waste our time showing off your overall knowledge
Your comment uses incorrect English. If you are critiquing a video, please use correct English(requiring only a teeny modicum of intention), otherwise the comment comes across as unconscious.
Well I appreciate all the knowledge imparted in the video, it is all totally related to growing with leaves. If you think it is off topic, then you don’t know the topic. Do you just want to be told what to do without understanding the interactions? If you meander and weave a garden you see more than if you rush straight through to wherever you think you should be arriving. If this video is too long just wait and see how long it takes to grow food. I recommend the commenter Mr Fords stick to short form videos for people no patience or tolerance to others with knowledge. And tell plants to get on with growing vegetables, no messing around with micronutrients or deep roots, or big leaves, just flower already and grow me what the seed packet said. So guess explaining anything to Mr Ford is now showing off. Mr Ford just wants to be told what to do without bother to understand why. Once you learn about nutrients no one will have to tell you how to use your leaf mold. Guess This video is not worthy of your precious time? I would say you are overly sensitive to thinking others are showing off, best look at that. This is the result of ever decreasing attention span. Imagine having to learn without people sharing from their experience. Which took them time, but you want a 60 second summary of what took years for someone else to learn and accomplish. No appreciation is shown by commenter Ford.
You came here seeking knowledge that you obviously lack. You should have learned in school that you need to know the basics of a subject in order to actually understand it. Rather than complaining about how he shares his knowledge, maybe show some respect and appreciation for the information that he IS sharing. If you think he's wasting your time by freely sharing the knowledge that he's acquired over decades of gardening, then perhaps you should go elsewhere. It took you more time and more effort to type your comment, complaining that he didn't give you exactly the information you want, as quickly as you wanted it, than it would have taken you to simply click on the next search engine result. What an impatient and ungrateful spoiled little child you must be. Mommy and Daddy must have never told you "NO". I bet you're a lot of fun at parties. You obviously lack social skills as much as you lack gardening skills. Perhaps your next few Google searches should include: "Patience - what is it and how can I get some?", "How to be respectful to others, especially when I'm asking something of them", "What is gratitude and how can I learn to show it to others" And finally "Social skills for Dummies"
Literally zero information about how to use leaf mold. Just a boomer showing off his pile of leaves.
Why the disrespect? That "boomer" probably knows more about gardening and growing than most of us ever will. You need to know how to make leaf mold before you can ever use it. Rather than complain about what he didn't teach you, maybe show some appreciation for what he did teach you. It's better to remain silent and appear foolish, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. So perhaps he could have been more accurate with the title. Is that any reason to disrespect him? You have a single video on your channel with a solid minute of grass, trees and crickets with the date as its title and you have the nerve to insult this older gentleman because he failed to title his informative video to your high standards? Seriously? Do better.
Does the Greek one grow wild?
Fascinating video, I just found one of these guys along a roadside, about 5ft from the road itself. I am wondering if it'd be safe to cultivate this plant, grow new plants from its seeds, then make tea from those plants later on. Is that safe or am I just being unsafe? Also these plants are pretty.
I use coconut coir, perlite, vermiculite, pea gravel, lime findings, pine bark, pumice, coffee grounds, bone meal, wood ashes, prairie mycorrhizae, dried maple samaras, tree flowers, and acorn caps.
1 year no cigarettes found Mullein today. Making a tinture now
Hi, Came across your post. Were you able to fully quit? How did the tinture work out? Thank you in advance 😊
I take lemon balm and ashwagandha together for anxiety and clear thinking. The lemon balm is actually better at that for me than ashwagandha. I was just reading about it and it increases sensitivity of the Gaba receptors in the brain.
cold turkey was the only way that I could quit smoking also. 24 years without tobacco.
good job i just hit my one year no intention of going back...cold turkey all the way
Great video, thanks for posting!
Thank you for your video. I'm making my first leaf mould and I'm very interested in ways to help the process along without shredding the leaves. I don't have any means to do that. I haven't filled my bin yet (wire with landscaping material around it to keep from losing the leaves in the wind) but I'm half way there. It's about 200 cubic feet in size. I'm keeping it moist. Should I turn it like you do with compost? I'm very anxious to get it right since I put alot of work and time into it so far. Lol.
Don't know where you live but I'm in Ohio collecting leaves now ! I run over them a couple of time with mulching mower and put them in bin ( wire mesh ) and turn those leaves once a week until too cold ! I also cheat a little and add grass clippings ( 1 part laef/ 1 part grass ) lasagna style leaves grass leaves grass and so on ! Great for mulch ! Hope that helped it works for me , but I don't want to wait years ! Lol ! 😆
@@sean6100Zone 7b, central Alabama. Thank you for the help. Since I posted that I've learned that we do have a mulching mower that needs the pull cord replaced. I'm raking every day to fill 240 cubic feet bin I made. I improvised and wired together some wire fence border pieces, lined with landscaping fabric and started filling it up. There won't be any grass clippings for me to add because our grass has already died back. I have plenty of leaves though! I wet them and turn them. Hopefully I'll get to chop them up when the mower is fixed. I really enjoy projects like this! I'm learning and experiencing so many new things. Again, thank you for your kind words. They've helped!
@ Sean - greatings from Germany. Instead of grass clippings you can use coffee ground. You often get them for free from star bucks, hotels, companies.. Compost worms loves both coffee and leaves.
@@Gabi-lt4mx thank you. I've been using coffee grounds in my compost but I didn't think about using it in my leaf mould. Good idea.
@@PBarrPrince, I would leave out the landscape fabric, and let your leaves have direct contact with the ground so that worms could come in, and help break down the leaves. Not to mention their personal addition to the compost with their droppings. Sounds like a great set up, and happy gardening!
Thanks!
Keep blackwalnut leaves away from garden mulch. It need 2 years to rid toxins. Great vid!
Dr Alaho Olu on RUclips is really a center where you can eradicate your diseases and viruses, I was cured of my human papilloma virus (HPV)..
Thank you for this series!
Fantastic video!
How much should we drink a day?!
In depth? Lol I think I have a different definition!
Excellent video. Why are there more views ?! The quality of bagged "compost" is absolutely terrible. Would you use the same ratio for a raised beds?
Incredble video. Never heard of the mycorrhizae relationship between trees and vegetables. Consice and we'll presented. We doing our first hot compost pile currently and will start leaf mold this fall. Subscribed !!
Its taste is not very strong compared to Chinese celery. But its taste is like celery and parsley combined. I love this plant. I have over 13 lovage plants that I seeded this year. The seeding rate is pretty good. It was hard to get it started. But once it starts growing in a 2 inch pot, it is indestructible. LOL
It is indeed indstructible! I use it for Chop N Drop, it's so prolific. However I disagree on it being less strong than Chinese Celery, at least compared to the common Chinese Celery variety grown in Asia.
Can I do this any time of a year, or is there a reason I need to wait until spring/fall? Will that make a difference, if I do it now in July?
You want the most energy stored in the root and not too much green growth trying to be supported by the smaller root piece. That is why he cut the leaf backS
You can do it anytime. It is like a hosta, just take a shovel and chop it in half, or chip off some of the root. No problem.
Brilliant. Thank you 😊
Yes, tobacco also works for stings. My step dad didn't smoke either, but his friend did. He spit on it and put it on my wasp sting. I remember being bummed about the spit, but it started working almost immediately. I was grateful. lol
Mr. Battle, you are such a treasure. An absolute gold mine of information. Thank you for sharing. I hope all is well with you. It's been a while since your last video here. Much love from a newbie
Couldn't help but notice your St. Croix hook bracelet!
Did the new plant make it?
Camara man is a bit shy...could do with getting up close
Thank you for sharing. It’s best in soups added right before you stop the heat and add the lid on. It gives the most amazing smell that way. Very healthy too.
Zzzzzzz
Stephen do you have any brain cells?
Hello sir... I want to start a leaf mould bussiness. Can it will be a profitable startup business ...plz reply soon
It is delicious dried, freshens up the flavor of soups and sauces, especially in the winter months, when fresh produce just doesn't have much flavor. You can get at least 2 cuttings per year, even cut right down to the ground. Late April to early May, then again in the summer.
Thank you for this. Just planted some last year and finding not a lot of info on the practical practices with it.
Eastern Oregon living in umatilla city limits their impossible to control
Pat - This piece is useful to describe an approach to leaf mold requiring the very least effort . The outcomes will vary widely. This RUclips by Dr. David Johnson about the fungal dominant compost describes a more ambitious approach to leaf mold. David's work and the Johnson-Su Method has been praised in other Living Web RUclipss ruclips.net/video/aGiJt6e_gqQ/видео.html
Helpful, thank you!
^^
^^
Wish I had room for a pile that big, have to make do with grinding leaves up real fine and layering them on the garden though.
Also should mention that I love the fact you don't use gloves, we are out there to feel a connection right?
Some people leave the leaves in garbage bags
It has been a prolific year for these pests in our area. While weeding by hand in the lawn I located a 'clutch' of 79 pupae in a 1 square foot patch, and many more smaller clusters intermittently throughout the lawn. I'm eager to try the traps. Thanks for the tutorial!
Bet you’re a fun-guy...great video and info!
Good stuff!
