    I'm a container Gardener...dang HOA! So I use a watering can. I've had amazing results using your 20-20-20 at a ratio of 4 tbs per gallon with the microboost. Maybe that'll help some hand watering folks out there.

    Dried out horse manure is the best ! It dries out fast and be broken down into flakes easily. I also keeps ants away since ants won't go near horse manure. Good to put around your house foundation too to keep out pests.

    Hey guys-I have grown Mountain Half Runners for most of my life. Got two rows in now. Yes, they do much better with support to grow on. My grandpa used to grow them in with corn, but you have to wade through the weeds to harvest. They will run all over. To me, there is no better flavor in a green bean than Half Runners. Good luck with your growing this year-really enjoy your show. And appreciate both of you sharing your expertise and encouraging us to grow on. Melody B in NC

    Travis - you mentioned that you have started a pesticide program for your beans already. Can you give us an idea what your maintenance schedule looks like to keep the insect pressure down on your crops? Maybe one of those nice charts that you do Travis would be helpful so we can keep track of what we need to do on an ongoing basis. Thanks!

  • @Backcountrysportsmen
    @Backcountrysportsmen 4 года назад

    Question for next weeks show maybe? I do raised best gardens in 4x8 boxes. I successfully grow corn and other large veggies. My question is should I be ripping the entire root system out after the harvest or cutting at soil level and leaving the roots in to decompose? What method do you find more beneficial? Love the show. Mike K

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад +2

      You can do either. If leaving the root systems will interfere with planting the following crop, remove them. If not, you can leave them.

    Great shows guys! I’ve had 6-3/4 inches of rain in less than a week. I had just injected micro boost and 20-20-20 to my garden, and had also side dressed my sweet corn with Chilean nitrate. Should I hit it again since we have had so much rain. I figured I would loose some to to run off etc.

    It has begun to warm up here in Northwest Florida(85) and I noticed my Cucumber and Squash leaves sag a bit....should I be concerned with a bacterial infection?

    • @gardeningwithhoss

      We don't really do both. Myself and Greg have in-ground, row gardens. Mrs. Hoss has a raised bed garden. She grows most of what we grow, with the exception of some large vining crops like watermelons or pumpkins.

      The biggest issues with no-till down here are fire ants and nut grass. Fire ants love undisturbed areas and nut grass does as well. It’s not that we don’t believe no-till gardening works, it’s just not as easy with some of the problems we have.

    Got a topic I was hoping Greg could expand on... My gramps use to talk about planting certain vegetables together because they supposedly performed or tasted better. I believe it's called companion gardening. I've also heard some vegetables like potatoes and onions can problems for it neighbors. What are the ones we should not plant next to each other and how close it too close? I'm working with one garden plot. Thanks!

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад +2

      You can do that if you have a small plot. We like to plant the same family of crops in the same plot because it makes rotation easier.

  • @malliaher3421
    @malliaher3421 4 года назад +1

    You guys mentioned planting time with onions and it got me thinking about some of the seeds I recenlty bought from Hoss-- lacinato kale, Cherokee lettuce, and Harmony Butterhead lettuce. It says that it's heat tolerant, but should I just wait until the Fall to grow these plants? I'd rather grow more okra or tomatoes if I'm going to get bitter leaves. Zone 7b southeast. Thanks and I'm looking forward to episode 100.

    • @gardeningwithhoss

    I love the videos. I am one of them guys that emailed about how much 20-20-20 to use. Rookie gardener 8B in CA. First time using drip tape so I'm learning how long to water for my clay soil. Also first time using the EZ Flow injector. The reason I asked about what YOU do is so I can adjust what I do. My biggest take away from this show is when you said "If your plants have yellow leaves your either over watering or under fertilizing". I think I have done both. So, I will be watering less (I believe 3 hrs was too long). And adding more fertilizer to the injector (1 cup 1st time. 2 cups 2nd time). I think 2 cups for 450ft of rows is ok). I also have a pest problem so my yellow leaves could be bugs or decease. Trying to keep my hopes up but most of my garden is not lookin good.

You don’t have to comment (Fish and egg) And don’t comment on people making dumb questions/statements that aren’t as knowledge. And if people who are following you need a specific (40oz) you don’t have to comment about your frustration. So positively and your subs will double. I bet.

    My garden is a sandy clay-loam in Western North Carolina, I want to add hay/goat manure compost. How do I know how much to add? Can I add it now? Can I use it as a side dressing? What does one use between the t-posts for supports in a Florida weave? I've always used cages. I love my new double wheel hoe it's gotten a lot of use in the two weeks we've had it!

    • @gardeningwithhoss

They are three different sizes. I would not grow any if I had not inherited a pea sheller. I inherited a Taylor Way sheller, I think the name is. It is built in Georgia, I am sure about that. You might want to feature that machine when you are talking about peas.

  • @michaelmorris1802
    @michaelmorris1802 4 года назад +1

    That is the primary reason I don't make video's... the honest truth is I'm a hobby gardener.... I don't like that... but it's the truth (no formal education on growing anything). So I keep my gardening skills the few I have, mostly to myself. The one thing I do know is that since I started watching this show, seems like a long time now, and taking notes, and referring back, and trying things... that the yield in my garden has gone way up. Now it's probably true that I could buy it from Publix and Croger cheaper than "I" can grow it... but that's not the point. Some stuff I don't agree with, based on my personal experience, but more often than not I have been able to improve upon what I was doing, on a regular basis... this past 12 months... my garden hasn't set idle one minute... which is working me hard... but we are growing more and a wider variety than ever... and we (the wife and I) are happier because of it, and that's what it's really about for us. Good food we grew ourselves, and that we share with family and friends. We gave away a lot of produce last year, and probably will this year. That brings us a lot of enjoyment.

    I love that you're not pruning your tomatoes. I had to come to the realization of what's the real purpose? We grew up gardening and I've never known my parents to prune their tomatoes. I've tried it and it's a true waste of time. Am I pruning just to grow a few large tomatoes or do I want maximum harvests? I did take your advice and hilled my tomatoes this year and they look so much healthier. Thanks... great show

I got a pack of seed from you(Silver King) . I'm starting my starts tomorrow. Once they're ready to be planted I'm going to be planting in a 8X8 plot. Anything wrong with that ?

    I've always wanted to try growing patty-pans, they're cute and quick. The fact is I don't know what to do with them once harvested. I can't imagine having to peel them with all those scalloped edges, too time consuming! Can you eat the peel? Do you bake them? Boil them? I haven't seen a lot of them in the North.

      Nana Jane they are tendered skin like a yellow crookneck squash. You cut them up and cook just like you would like crookneck or zucchini.

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад +1

      No need to peel. Just cut into pieces and sautee with some onions and peppers. They also make a great squash casserole!

      Don't want to give them much. We injected 20-20-20 and Micro-Boost on ours several weeks after they emerged.

    Super good show guys. Y’all made fertilizing sound easy. FINALLY. What happened to X amount of units up front and X amount of units through out the growing cycle. Shouldn’t we be measuring how units there are in that 3/4 full, half gallon container? Just sayin.

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад

      Yes. That's basically what we were trying to say. You've got to think about it in terms of how many units you want to apply to a specific area.

    how do y'all decide what to grow in a year when there are so many different types and so many different varieties . also i had a soil test done and i have a low level of phosphorus on my property and was wondering if that would turn my leaves slightly light green on my bean plants, and could i add rock phosphate along with my fertilizer to give it alittle extra boost

    • @gardeningwithhoss

      We have some tried and true varieties we like, but we like to grow new stuff we've added to the site so we can show our viewers/customers the wide variety of crops you can grow.

    Hey y’all, live down here in Florida (Go Gators), I have a new garden (year 1) that is just overgrown with weeds. I watched your video on ways to help control weeds in the future, using the on your hands and knees pulling method at this time. The question is; the black tarp kills the weeds and seeds due to the heat, will it also kill all the microbes that are beneficial to soil health. I want to get rid of the weeds but not at the expense of soil quality. Thanks in advance for your help.

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад +1

      The black tarp kills the weeds mostly due to lack of sunlight. Believe it or not, it doesn't get super hot underneath the tarp. The black reflects light instead of absorbing it. So your microbes should be fine. Nothing some good composting couldn't solve.

  • @theobannons

    I've been a fan since 2018 when I bought my wheel hoe, it was a huge game changer for my garden. With more time on my hands, my spring garden looks great and it seems like I'm slowly buying up everything you guys sell to make it ever better. There are some things that I've been waiting on coming back in stock (I haven't emailed asking about them, promise!) You mentioned this week that there are some things that you'll be able to get back in stock from your suppliers and some things that once they're gone, they're gone. On your next show could you run through the list of things that once they're gone, they'll be gone for a while? I don't want to keep checking the website like a stalker if you just aren't going to have more of what I'm stalking (1 gallon sprayers or plow attachments or pest control products). Thanks!

    • @tmaready
      @tmaready 4 года назад

      I agree or instead of just putting out of stock put and estimated time it may be back in stock or no more for this year or something to help us out a little bit. Will inform your customers and cut down on questions and emails.

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад

      The biggest issue currently is that we have no way to predict sales. In the past, we have had pretty decent projections based on previous years. But this year has been completely unpredictable.

      Have not seen that done. Could make the soil more acidic. Keep an eye on the pH over time if you do decide to do it.

    How do you feel about using granular fertilizers like 10/10/10 etc versus organic fertilizers a lot of people where I live frown upon using the granular fertilizer but my grandmother has used it all of her life and she's 84 and healthy as a horse

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад +1

      10-10-10 works well. Organic fertilizers have to be broken down into an inorganic form before they can be absorbed by the plant.

    I've got about 13 yards of horse manure in a cedar chip bedding, I've had locals tell me the bedding will tie up that nitrogen for years, I'm wondering a good option to work with it to boost organic matter, I'm putting in my fertigator order, is the complete organic and Chilean nitrate compatible with the fertigator? And sorry to add, is there a minimum pressure/flow for the 2gal EZ Flow?

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад

      The complete organic fertilizer is not water soluble, so it’s not compatible with the injector. But the Chilean Nitrate is. Not sure of the minimal pressure, but our drip systems run on 12 psi

    I do not think that you understood my question Karma I want you to know if the way that you applied your fertilizer would work with the wood chips?
    I know that I cannot mix the wood chips into the soil I just was curious if since I have wood chips over my garden bed if the way you applied the fertilizer around your plants would work with the wood chips.

    • @gardeningwithhoss
      @gardeningwithhoss  4 года назад

      The wood chips are going to suck the nitrogen either way. So I would recommend pulling back the wood chips, mixing it into the soil around the plants, then recovering with the chips.

    Great show! Could you suggest the best way to find a provider of good compost? Internet search? Ask local feed and seed store? We purchased a truck load of composted horse manure from someone off of Craigslist and we got a garden full of weeds and morning glory. We didn't have many weeds prior to adding that compost. We live in central GA. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

      Most compost companies aren't only, so an internet search might not provide many results. You just kind of have to ask around. Talk to other farmers/gardeners and you'll hopefully find something.
