@@maritimegardening4887 you are helping people. You have the gift of observation and common sense. Some of your simplest solutions are inspired. I really liked your use of cardboard strips in your garden to plant parsnips. Your hoop house design is also worth watching. Thank you!
That’s exactly how I build my gardens...have plenty of old trees, but I seem to hit way more rock when driving in those pegs. You make it look so easy! Inspiring video as usual. Love it!!
Hi Greg, We don't have manure, do you think if we create a bed like this with mushroom compost, will it work? Thanks for any advice from you. Really appreciate it. Love this video and all your other videos, you help us with ideas how to not break a bank to grow food. Thank you. Cheers.
HEllo. I am learning very much whith you sir . I like very much your videos . They are very Simple but whith very good explanation. Your videos are a inspiration for me. I have a question. You please give me your idea about that. You made the beds pararel One to the other! And all are made paralel whith the midle day sun posision??
I love your video's, but the music should be background soft, I mean soft, as it drowns you out at times! Please, please turn in down really low or better yet have no music at all, just sayin! Thanks for sharing!
I got it from a horse stable. They usually give it away for free. This manure was not aged at all - but the garden was built in the fall - so it sat there till the following spring, and then I grew tomatoes in it (above ground veg). By the following year it (this year) it was totally broken down, and I grew potatoes. H-manure is very weak, so you can grow stuff in it - just wait a couple years before growing root veg in it and you'll be fine.
looks nice, however do you foresee any slug problems from rotting logs? I have done something like that but without fill and using larger logs to create windbreak around zucchini transplants, but the slugs started to emerge from under the logs and chewing on the plants, so I had to remove the logs in a short order.
Yep....use what you have!
A video after my heart. I love to make do with what nature provides
Winter here in New Zealand. Making soup with lots of harvested veges, and being inspired by your gardening videos 😁
You've got some of the best, most practical advice around. Love your methods and the way you teach. Thank you. I'll always look for your videos.
Thanks so much its great to hear that I'm helping people :)

Absolutely love your energy and perspectives man! I will be binging on your videos for the next couple days! Sending some love from new brunswick :).
Thanks man enjoy!

I got lucky with the rocks in that garden :)
I like watching you work. It's almost like watching those Dick Proenneke videos.
That's so funny - I love those videos - I've even thought of doing an "homage' to "alone in the wilderness".
A real master class on self sufficiently. Thanks.
Thanks Dorian!

Yes that should be ok. I would grow a heavy feeder like squash or corn in the 1st year since you're filling the whole bed with compost
Can you tell me the climate zone ? I am planning a home garden on 1/2 acre near Peggy's cove. BTW, I do appreciate your videos. Thank you.
I live near terrence bay - same zone as you :)

most of the beds run north-south
@@maritimegardening4887 obrigado por responder a minha pergunta. Um abraço de Portugal.

Thanks, I'm a total amateur with this whole video thing, I'll guess I'll turn it down a bit more in future vids.
I like the music. Just like he has it.
How old is the horse manure you’re using? I assume it’s from your own horses? Just trying to figure out where I can get some.... thanks

I’ve found people wanting to get rid of their horse manure on Kijiji!

I have slugs everywhere regardless of logs. I use ferric sulphate to control them when they get too bad.
how do you use it? and how does this deal with them?
Try spraying with a water and amonia mix. turns them into fertilizer.
Have you watched any of Charles Dowding? He is a no dig gardener, he's from the UK. You two could be dangerous...!
Thanks, yes I Like Dowding.
