I'm a visual learner and I really appreciate how you SHOW, in detail, how things are done from beginning to end. Thank you!
Agreed!
Me too !...I use this I drew...may help you too xx I pm u my cheat hope it helps ..debbi vasileiou xxx
Yeah. He’s great
Me too😊
I’d love to see a video of JP’s favorite square combos in sqft gardening and how those squares evolve via interplanting through the seasons
Not going to lie, I normally fast forward to see my boy Tuck 🐶. Happy Birthday baby 🎉🎈🎂!
“The carrots are in, it’s looking fantastic” “beautiful kale” I love this guy
Good to see you and Tuck doing well. We love Tuck. sending him hugs n kisses.
Ma'am ur so intelligent
Yah, you're back, missed your vlogs and glad you are back, stay safe and healthy my friend,
One of these finest gardening channels on all of RUclips. Fantastic teacher. Outstanding video quality in every regard. Thanks so much, James, for the valuable education!
I watch "Growing in The Garden" with Angela, and she does square foot gardening, and she has had great success.
I used to watch Square foot gardening with him when I was younger. He had a TV show.
Look her up she has great ideas.
God bless 🙏
We need an ASMR of Tuck eating veggies!
Haha Yess!!!
Yo james.i just gave my dog a raw carrot for the first time he went nuts.thaks for the quality videos.
Thanks James! You've breathed life back into my vegie garden! Seriously, I gave up on it two years ago. There was a LOT of effort to keep up with the weeds only to have deer and birds devour the vegies, grapes, etc. it was overwhelming and I decided to not plant again....until I found your channel!:) Now I have a new plan, going to try things I have never tried before, and all thanks to you! I am excited to get started. Thanks! Happy Gardening:) Sending little Tuck lots of love and Happy Birthday wishes!
Give that little Tuck a bunch of hugs and kisses too, happy birthday soon little fella ;)
Hey James! I’m glad you’re back!
I’m gonna tell you what happened while you were gone, but first you’re gonna need to sit down....
😂
About 10 years ago i started layering wood chips like you because my soil was a solid clay pan, and the wood chips I could get all I wanted free locally delivered, they just wanted to get rid of them. Over the years I still go through about 6-8 loads of chips, I have a 1/4acre garden. But about 6 years ago, I was able to get a ton of 2x8 lumber for free and built raised beds on top of my wood chips garden. Over the years they of course decompose and i just chip the paths between beds, but I keep another two piles of wood chips that I treat as compost piles, which that is the mostly decomposed material I use every season to top of my beds. Probably over the past 3 years, my yields has been exponential. Not only are we feeding our entire house but about a dozen families on our street, its really quite insane. We are able to squeeze in more crops, harvest is super easy and space/efficiency has been maximized. Thanks for doing these videos.
Jason Miller very nice. Our ground here in Oklahoma sucks as well and is clay.
if you are using wood chips on the garden, what would happen when you try to turn the soil next season, is that ok for the soil. would not that be too much wood chips on the soil. thanks
So I don’t turn my wood chips I just plant directly down in them. After a year or so once you pull back about an inch you reach black gold in the form or great soil. Plus you shouldn’t turn your gardens. That encourages wind and water erosion of everything that is good in a garden, like minerals
@@batikh100 you definitely don't want to mix the soil with not composted wood chips. What I have seen on YT this is the common mistake and reason for people blaming the BTE is not working. Wood chips mixed with the soil will take the nitrogen from it to decompose. The natural way is like in nature - just adding new layers on the top.
Jarek M. You can also throw your nitrogen in, in the form of greens like your grass clippings etc.
you planting Tuck digging... sweet combination.... un grande abbraccio Tuck
Youre my fave, and I've watched a lot of channels. I click on you before edible acres or Canadian permaculture legacy (or any others) because your energy and detail are just unmatched. Thank you for making such an impact on mine and my family's life.
You're sweet Kristi! Me and Tuck appreciate the kind words and encouragement
You inspired me so much that now I have fruits and veggie plants all over our house 🌱
Happy Birthday Tuck! 🎂🎈🎉🥳❤️
You inspire. You are the reason I wanted to start a garden. Seeing how huge the harvests were was amazing! Thank you
Your positivity is contagious and overall amazing, keep it up!
So happy to see you and tuck are safe and healthy 😉👍
Good to see your well Tuck, keep eating your vegetables and you'll live to be an old man and a Happy Birthday to you.😊
James and Tuck are back! Hooray! Looking forward to tons of great videos, lessons, and harvests this year!
I have been doing this from the start of my veggie patch, but I cut food grade bottles into tubes and plant inside the "grow tubes" that are sunk into the soil about 1 inch, great for water retention as well as giving the various plants different amounts of water inside the grow tubes, also cuts down on weeds.
"what's going on" so missed that - how to you keep the squirrels from eating peach tree flowers/leaves, Happy Frog, will buy it just for the name, Happy Birthday Tuck, extra carrots!!!❤️
Are you okay?
r/ihadastroke
Last time I checked, Happy Frog was $20 for a bag that size! If you're growing a high value green crop, it might be worth it, but carrots, and spinach maybe something more economical makes more financial sense in times like these.
@@middle-agedmacdonald2965 44$ canadian whee I am. That's without tax.
People use it for growing pot, not cheap veggies ;)
It is expensive but worth it! "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope
@@seedaholicgardens9085 I think a better way to say that would be. "It works great, it is ridiculously expensive, and there are comparable products available at a far lower cost that would work just as well for simple garden veggies. "
It's the question of if you need a Mercedes to drive to work, or a Honda. The end result is getting to the destination.
Live wisely, not frivolously.
First a big ❤ for tuck! Love the little guy 😍
Secondly I've been using this method for most of my gardening life. What I love about it is I never put two of the same crops in adjoining squares, one it helps in natural pest reduction by not concentrating the plants and two it makes the garden look incredibly pretty.
Enjoy your beautiful garden, from new Zealand!
your use of the countersink bit makes me really appreciate your attention to detail.
I look forward to starting a garden and bring my doggies. Tuck is so adorable. 😍
So glad you’re ok!!!! Literally went to your IG the other day seeing if you had posted at all and was getting worried since you’re over in Jersey. Thanks for posting!
Probably heard me screaming "JAMES POSTED" all the way from California!!
Ahhhhhh that was nice, ready for more. 🤩
I heard you. I'm in Vista, CA screaming right with you. hahaha
Jessica Cook same haha
Shawn Glass same here from Fallbrook, CA
@Ellen Tresidder awesome I am sure it should be ok we have such great weather here. We are just north of yuba city by collins lake... small world. He is great been watching for a year we just bought land. Perfect timing
MICHIGAN!
So glad to see you and Tuck back! Missed you both and thank you for your very positive message. Be Blessed.
Oh, I’m so thankful to see you and Tuck back! I was getting a little worried, but I figured you’d not be doing much during the winter...
I’m starting my own garden this month, thanks to the quarantine, giving me time to be home and take care of my family ❤️
here in Brazil the fall is starting, but as our winters are mild, it’s a great time to put a lotta stuff in the ground!
Thanks for sharing, it’s always so satisfying seeing you work in your food forest... 🙏
❤️ Luv Tuck ❤️
Glad to see you back my brother!! Let the growing start!👍🏻 hello tuck ol'boy.💖💕❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤
Welcome back, James and Tuck! We are happy to see you again!
I’m starting a garden I think I’m going to get a puppy. Tuck hangs out with you in the garden which is so nice having his company.
James is awesome, been hooked on watching his videos and planning my own food forest as well. Lots of great knowledge and how tos passed along to all of us out here. Tuck is adorable too. Keep the videos coming please and thank you .
My brother , I been waiting and improving . I am so stoked ur back . My favorite show is back !!!
Let's Goooo! Good stuff Donald. Me and Tuck are glad to be back, and will be posting regularly now. We thinks its going to be a great year!
Hi James I planted my first plum tree a few weeks ago and finished my first planter box, my food forest is on the way good to see you back again.
Let’s gooooo
Happy Birthday Tucker....coming soon. He’s such a star. Love watching his adventures and tottering around. Sending big hugs and belly rubs 😘❤️🐶
Every time I watch one of your videos I am always so happy about your excitement. Puts a smile on my face every time!
So happy to see you back! Can't wait to see everything that you are doing for your food forest this year.
Thanks Brett! Yeah that is what's next. And things are looking better then they ever have!!!
@@jamesprigioni
If your planting in Jersey now, so its ok to plant in seattle area lower city.
James, good to see you again! I did the same thing today with the help of my grandson. It was his idea to use all my planters that were the same height and width. They all measured 14 inches tall, 12 inches wide. He put a 10 inch layer of wood chips over very large pieces of cardboard. Then we filled each planter with compost and lined them up on the wood chips. He told me no weeds for me to worry about. We did 4 planters wide and 10 planters long. It looks like a raised garden. My grandson told me he wanted me to garden easier this year. I had surgery and I'm getting back into the garden slower than usual. But he's going to help me this year. My great grand daughters will be helping this year too. They wish a fabulous birthday to your dog!!!! Love from south Texas and many Blessings too.
What a great idea..I can't do a full garden so this is a fantastic idea. Did you just do them like on your patio?
@@shar3332 Sharon, we did them on the ground, but my oldest daughter did this same thing on her patio!!! NO WEEDS!!!! She lined them up, the planters, at the edge of her patio, all three sides. It is fenced in by a eight foot tall privacy fence. So my son in law did put in some cattle panels on the fence, using u shaped nails to hold them up, for the tomatoes and cucumbers. Now, it got better as they thought out the plan....he did have some four by four timbers that he used as a base for the platers to sit on. It made the tallest planters four inches taller! A great help for her back. Then just today they added 10 inch tall planters in front of the tall planters, so it looks like two tiers! Those he planted with flowers. It's so neat and tidy. We will do the same thing here at my home for all the herbs. I hope this will work out for you. Blessings from south Texas.
@@deloresochoa6235 thank you so much. I will go get some planters tomorrow. This must be so much easier then having to bend down especially with a bad back. I appreciate you getting back to me. Have a blessed night ❣️😁
@@shar3332 Thank you too! Have fun!!!!
Love Tuck. He's a perfect companion that loves garden just as much as you do. Much love to him and lots of gratitude to you for these detailed videos 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love your enthusiasm and straight forward approach to gardening. Learning as you go. Love your dog. Tuck is the kind of pet I want. He’s so sweet.
Guy, you are great in your ideas！ Don't stop
I am so glad that you are back. It's been a long winter. I'm looking forward to lots of great content. 💚💚💚💚 for Tuck.
Happy Birthday Tuck! I also have 13 year old Yorkie that enjoys being outside in the garden. Your videos have been very informative thank you so much for sharing!
❤️ I've been watching for a few years now. You're my go to for nrw projects in my garden and the best practical tips.
So glad to see you're back. Been watching for you everyday. Love square foot gardening. Keep yourself safe and healthy.
Love the grids.Its a good idea to screw the string down to the wood we are always tying it to sticks and poking them into the ground which never really works :)
I just started watching your videos and I really enjoy them and the way you explain everything but my initial instinct was the CLICK CLICK CLICK as soon as I saw a gardening video with a precious little boi Yorkie in the thumbnail!!!! I'm obsessed with Tuck😍
So happy to find these videos, recently expanded my garden in NY and found these videos so helpful!
Happy birthday, Tuck! Your dad is so lucky to have you as his garden friend. ❤️
Missed your videos James!
Love the detail and you always (unknowingly) show me how I’m doing something wrong and now I get to garden correctly! 😊 Thanks for explaining the ‘why’ you do what you do. 👍🏻🤙🏼
So glad you're back, James! Love ur channel and i learn so much from you😄

Tuck is a cool pup. When I was a kid I had a silky terrier that I would put in my backpack and go fishing. He was an awesome ratter too.
Omg. I just discovered you. So happy. I already feel so inspired. Thank you !
Hey James, great to see you again! 😃 I always love seeing your videos. Be safe my friend.

❤❤ for tuck. I am happy to see you are healthy. Thank you for doing your gardening different this year. Your yard looks empty right now. Sending you and Tuck lots of hugs
Good to see Tuck is digging his own garden in the background haha
We've missed you, man!
Really like that you're experimenting with SFG. Been thinking about doing some myself!
Happy Birthday Tuck!!♥️♥️
This is such useful info and as always delivered with so much enthusiasm!
Happy Birthday to puppy. 10 years is a good age! Hope to see my gardens looking more like yours this year. I am in West Canada but we can grow limited trees, and bushes etc. My trees are only 5-8 years old, but they are doing well. LOVE your yards.
Your channel has inspired to do my own garden! So glad y’all are back! Love seeing Tuck ❤️❤️
I love the square foot gardening technique! We close on our new homestead Friday and I can’t wait to get planting! I have so many plants to get in the ground! Great to see you and Tuck back! ❤️
I've been using Mel's method for 30 years its fantastic.
Love your videos. You teach and show not just talk. Thanks I've learned a lot. Been square foot gardening for years but I leaned a lot from you,
Happy Birthday Tuck ❤❤❤. I love the tip on removing the spinach carefully.
We are so glad you're back😀 we've been waiting for a video. Thank you thank you! We've missed you!
Love the video's buddy. Happy to see you and Tuck back in action. Looking forward to more great gardening info from you!
Happy Birthday, Tuck!!!! Thanks for the great videos! I have learned so much.
I’m so glad to see you back!!! ☺️❤️
James Prigioni back in action...... LET'S GO!!!!!!!!.... btw I planted all my fruit trees three years ago which means they're on their leap year.... LET'S GO!!!!!! I did also get a frenchton dog who love chewing on wood chips and fruit hah you inspired me and Tuck inspired my dog
Let's Goooo John!! Yess, hopefully you getting some fruit this year then. Haha, the dog sounds cute!
@@jamesprigioni You channel always modeled what id want to do once I got land and knew you had a great channel for people to learn the abundance thats possible. And bet your channel will keep growing with more looking to be more self-sufficient. Keep leading by example buddy!
@@jamesprigioni Maybe try putting a pepper plant in the exposed earth bed since I've found my peppers are happier with the exposed the soil that stays warmer they seem to like better than the cool soil under the wood chips. But everything else has done well with woodchips, just peppers are a tropical plant and love all the heat.
Missing my homestate. Great vids. Family is stationed in Texas. So raised beds and containers will be my go to. My last garden was in Germany. I decided this year I would get back to my love of growing food and the satisfaction of eating it.
Nice video thanks for the quick tutorial on square foot gardening. Keep up the good work, I love your energy and positivity.
Tuck ❤️❤️ digging is his specialty! Hi James good to see you. I’m going to do this, this year. I’ve read the book backwards and forwards. I think I’m ready.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ARE BACK!!!😁 Written before the video started!
❤💛💜💙💚💟💗 hearts for Tuck!
Tuck is so adorable. Your little sidekick is the perfect touch. ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕😍
Great video! Love your energy! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. :)
Welcome back! Been waiting for a new video.
Thanks Phil, me and Tuck appreciate you waiting for us :)
thanks improved my garden last year..this year i will quadruple my crops thanks to your advice
we love Tuck...he's such a pleasant little guy!
Great work James! Love your step by step directions. I am inspired to build a square foot garden. Hey Tuck!!
"Yeh!" Great space economy ;-) ...Glad you're back!
Would love to know how to get horseradish root growing, if it's possible, please. When watching your previous videos, you got me interested in growing horseradish; and from that, making organic horseradish sauce using raw apple cyder vinegar, scrumptious and moreish. Thanks James.
About time James miss you brother what’s growing on man !!! Happy to see you !!!
Really liked the way you utilized the string in your screws when assembling the raised bed. I’m definitely going to use this method the next time I make one
Love this channel! I'm also in NJ, and I've just started my gardening journey!
YAY!!! BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!!
Let's Goooo! Thanks for being patient my friend
