Buying from Amazon instead of from more regional sources (there are many), for me, contradicts the basic organic premise of promoting soil health and local gardening/ farming communities. A local vendor has a lot of visibility and will usually try to give you good service and products because, if not, word will get out and there will be consequences. With Amazon, it’s not so direct.
I have been bing watching all of your videos. They are all great. "Dad" is a joy to watch & it is a pleasure to listen to all of his wisdom. It really makes me miss my grandfather. He taught me so much about gardening, farming, and living more sustainable. So I am really enjoying watching you & your father!
PS I think it's a fabulous idea to have a business selling soil amendments online. If I could just buy one for beans, lettuce, tomatoes, corn and etc., I'd love it since every gardener says something different about what to amend, how to feed etc. I love your channel and I did buy all of the soil amendments and the book.
I love your channel but especially love that you are brothers in Christ. And thank you for the way you end your videos with sharing Christ. God bless you both your families and your channel. God is good
We are all so Divinely Blessed to have a garden, a farm, animals and our love of God! I hold my seeds and visualize the Christ Light infusing them before I plant, and I always have huge harvests. I am SO grateful to have found your channel, thank you so much for the recipe of the amendments you use...it's the only thing I'm a little dim on. God Bless You!
Baby my babies, get the nutrition we neeed plus supply the right blend of minerals and beat the prices ....words of love I'm grateful to hear, woo! That's the bomb❤
Looks like I'll be ordering some peas. Never had great luck with peas, I usually started too late and it gets so hot in summer. NOT THIS YEAR. I think Dan reminds me of my dad and grandfather growing up and help them plant as a boy. Great Family!😊
Yes peas don't do well in the heat! And that is another reason I plant them on the east side of something that is tall so they get partial day of shade! Thanks for watching our videos and have a blessed day!
Love this video! My last enjoyable time with my grandpa was planting Peas! he had suffered a stroke and was having trouble speaking... but he let me know when I was doing it wrong :) We had fun that season... he passed away later that Spring... I will always treasure those times with him. anyways Great video!
My goodness I have been looking for this nformation... No more of synthetic fertilizer or you know "that brand"... My peas...were so sad because of lack of minerals... Thank you so much.. I didn't have a grandfather... but I can listen to dad for some goooood guidance... Thank you...!!
I love that song you put with the end of the video! Day by day and with each passing moments strength I find to meet my trials here. Help me then in every tribulation so to trust thy promises oh Lord! Great song! Where do you all live?
Just subscribed. Long time gardener here, but I have the hardest time growing peas and beans. I'm beginning to think I don't have enough minerals in my raised bed.Your information is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Have you been practicing strict organic gardening? Last season our bush beans were so abundant that we just did 1-1/2 pickings and left all the rest for seed. Thanks so much for watching and have a blessed day!
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork I compost myself and vermicompost, and some Black Kow Manure just recently as I needed more material in there. We do have a municipal composting facility near me, in fact, but I have read that people are finding broken glass and too many plastics in it. I really dont have a way of unloading as my husband and I are not in the best of health physically. It took me quite a while to get the bed done, 10 years. I live in the Ca High Desert urban, so our native soil is compacted and awful. Lots of earthworms in there processing the compost I add. I generally use bone meal, blood meal, Azomite, Kelp Meal, Fish fertilizer. I'm cutting down on the fish, however, because it draws too many flies, so bad we could barely use our patio last year😮💨. I'll be interested to see what products you come out with.
@bubbles6124 Have you ever tried using a pea and bean inoculant? Soils vary and some may have it naturally and others do not. Also, even organic gardeners have had aminopyralid (Grazon) contamination because it gets sprayed on hay and doesn't break down in the digestive tract of animals. It kills broadleaf plants (beans, tomatoes, etc.) Some have complained about Black Kow in this regard. Aminopyralids have ruined entire organic growing operations. 😔
Good to know about the minerals! Ive heard so many people say not to add too much, but I always wondered about it since my soil seems to be getting healthier.
Yes minerals are very important! You can overdo on anything but being organic it's much much more forgiving,some minerals tie up other minerals so you need to know something about how they all work together or don't work together in order to get the greatest benefit from them! Thanks for commenting we appreciate all the comments!
I plant my peas intensively - 3 inches apart in all directions. I fill the bed fully. I put 2 or 3 peas per hole. I get a huge harvest out of a bed that is 4 x 10
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you so much for responding. I thought of another question. Do you have a video on soil building. I know your father makes the blends for a existing garden that the soil is already in good condition. Didn't know if he had one showing what blend would be to build up the soil?
In the meantime, where do you source your dried organic dairy manure? Nearly all cattle ranchers near me use chemical fertilizers and herbicides, and the ones that don't tend to keep their manure for their own use.
I don't get too concerned about companion planting, I'm more concerned about the creating micro climates that are helpful for certain plants,like celery is a marsh plant so it likes cooler wet environment, peas like cool weather so try to plant them on the east side of something tall so they're shaded during the hottest part of the day,so those are the kind of things I consider when laying out my garden,I never worry about crop rotation either because if your biology is thriving there's no need for it,nature doesn't practice so why should we. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
I never had much succes germinating my peas directly in the soil. Normally it should work, but i think my soil is too moist (clay) so they rot away before they can sprout. Now I germinate them inside on some vermiculite and transplant outside the minute the root has formed
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork maybe, but on the other hand, everything is growing very abundant. Only germination of beanlike-seeds is a problem. So I think the soil is healthy and I would prefer not to disturb it by pretending I know better than the natural soil life.
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork What is the minerals recipe? Do you cover the peas with the straw mulch again once they've grown a little bit or if there's a cold snap? Thank you! This video was so helpful.
The mineral recipe is shown in the video. Yes, cover the soil back over with the straw. 👍 We forgot to mention that in the video. 😔 Anyways, have a blessed and wonderful day! ☺️
Do you feel that using a legume inoculant is not necessary for your peas? I always do for sugar snaps and beans out of habit, not from a knowledgable difference.
I never do,I believe if you have practiced organic gardening long enough and your soil biology is thriving that there's no need to inoculate the seed,I seem to always have a healthy bumper crop so much so I needed to reduce my number of plants. Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
Thank you for the links on the minerals, however I was THRILLED to hear that you are going to be making your own for sale! When will that happen? I was just thinking, it would be nice if I could buy an all-in-one bag of minerals that you are recommending for peas, and another for tomatoes, etc...
Glad you found our channel! We plan on making different amendment mixes to meet the needs of individual crops such as one mix for greens and another one for fruit bear vegetables such as your peppers,tomatoes, peas,beans,cukes,melons etc, another for flowering such as broccoli, cauliflower, etc and one fir root crops and then of course individual amendments so you can design your own fertilization program.
I find it's better to not have seeds in direct contact with the amendments, but if that works for you that's awesome, don't fix what ain't broke🤣 and thanks for watching! We really appreciate it!
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Is your dad using a Dramm one-touch 30-inch wand for watering? I've been looking for a good quality one to buy, what do you recommend?
I don't know if it's called a one touch or not but it is the 30" Dramm, I have about 5 of them and the only problem I've ever had was when I left it full of water and it froze but I was able to repair it easily so they have been really good wands.
No we're not Amish, never have been and never will be! We're believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to follow principles laid out in his Word the Bible!
Thanks for watching! Those measurements are good because with organic you have a lot of leeway, it won't make much difference if you're off by a bit so I'd just go with what was stated. Is there some particular ingredient that you aren't sure of?
The ratios are in the video and even printed on the screen. I’d be interested to know the formula for other veggies. Do you use egg shells or bone meal for tomatoes? Tomatoes are my “thing” and I’ve always been able to grow them prolifically. I always love to hear what others are doing to succeed with non-chemical fertilizer methods too! So far, amazingly, we have almost identical methods of setting up our garden plot, seed starting, etc.; and I’ve only watched a couple of videos! And I share your love for the Lord too. I suspect that although we are in different countries, we have similar roots historically. God bless you and may your garden prosper!
lol. when I plant my pea seeds like that, they'll all be gone before tomorrow afternoon .. eaten by mice and voles. Have to pre-germinate them in, e.g., a rain gutter and then plop that out into the trench. But raw seeds .. not a chance.
Sorry about that as I assume that people know more than they do,I've been doing it for 50 yrs and forget at times when in front of the camera to tell everything 😁
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! And no one comes to the Father or enters Heaven except through Him! Thank you for the pea growing instructions. I planted my peas in cardboard toilet rolls and they are looking great. But now the roots are starting to come out of the bottom and I have to get them planted into a raised garden bed. My husband just completed building two new raised beds from some free wooden pallets. The property we moved to back in the fall is in the middle of 300 acres of forest in rural Georgia, and the soil is entirely red Georgia clay, so I cannot plant straight into the ground. I have got to get my pea seedlings planted, but I am concerned about all of the animals eating my pea plants. We sit on our front porch balcony and literally watch entire herds of deer move through the forest surrounding our home. And I know there are lots of rabbits in the woods surrounding our home also. So I guess I am going to have to build a fence around my entire raised bed garden. Another project we have to try and complete just to have a garden. It is hard to start a garden on a new property, especially one that sits in the middle of a woodland forest, with nothing but Georgia red clay for soil. It is so expensive just buying soil to fill the raised beds with, and then I have the problem of my entire property being surrounding with old growth trees that cast shadows over the entire property, making it hard to find a sunny spot to grow vegetables where they can get at least 8 hours of sun a day. I am starting to get discouraged, as I spent years dreaming about moving back to the country so we could once again raise our own heirloom organic vegetables, and raise heritage breed chickens for organic eggs. Say a prayer for us that God will give us wisdom and show us how we can have a productive garden to grow healthy food in these trying circumstances with little money to buy things like soil, fertilizers, and fencing. I know God will make a way. Thank you for your help and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! You can do it, with God's help of course! He'll help you if you ask! You'll probably need to build some strong tall fencing around your garden. Maybe even electrify it too. I'd make Hugelkultur beds if it was me starting out. Cardboard down first, branches, logs and then soil and compost. Then you can top-dress it with amendments tailored to the vegetables you're planting. Blessings! 😊
Yes. Dad grew at least 3 Guinness recognized World Record tomatoes a few years ago. He also holds the current unofficial World Record for the largest/heaviest tomato that weighed 17.15 lbs. You can find a video on that tomato on our channel. Blessings! 😊

The property we moved to back in the fall is in the middle of 300 acres of forest in rural Georgia, and the soil is entirely red Georgia clay, so I cannot plant straight into the ground. I have got to get my pea seedlings planted, but I am concerned about all of the animals eating my pea plants. We sit on our front porch balcony and literally watch entire herds of deer move through the forest surrounding our home. And I know there are lots of rabbits in the woods surrounding our home also. So I guess I am going to have to build a fence around my entire raised bed garden. Another project we have to try and complete just to have a garden. It is hard to start a garden on a new property, especially one that sits in the middle of a woodland forest, with nothing but Georgia red clay for soil. It is so expensive just buying soil to fill the raised beds with, and then I have the problem of my entire property being surrounding with old growth trees that cast shadows over the entire property, making it hard to find a sunny spot to grow vegetables where they can get at least 8 hours of sun a day. I am starting to get discouraged, as I spent years dreaming about moving back to the country so we could once again raise our own heirloom organic vegetables, and raise heritage breed chickens for organic eggs. Say a prayer for us that God will give us wisdom and show us how we can have a productive garden to grow healthy food in these trying circumstances with little money to buy things like soil, fertilizers, and fencing. I know God will make a way. Thank you for your help and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! You can do it, with God's help of course! He'll help you if you ask! You'll probably need to build some strong tall fencing around your garden. Maybe even electrify it too. I'd make Hugelkultur beds if it was me starting out. Cardboard down first, branches, logs and then soil and compost. Then you can top-dress it with amendments tailored to the vegetables you're planting. Blessings! 😊
World Record ?
Yes. Dad grew at least 3 Guinness recognized World Record tomatoes a few years ago. He also holds the current unofficial World Record for the largest/heaviest tomato that weighed 17.15 lbs. You can find a video on that tomato on our channel. Blessings! 😊
Don't forget mouse and bird protection
Thankfully I don't have either of them,birds have never bothered my peas.😊
Do you put the straw back over them?
Yes! We did forget that detail. Thanks for asking!
Last year all pea seeds were stolen by mice
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. ❤
Amen!! Have a blessed day!
