THANK YOU FOR WATCHING & THE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT! I COULDNT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!
I thought the most compost/soil I ever had delivered was 6-7 cubic yards. It was 12! I was way off!
I love that your videos are longer. Sometimes I think 20 minute videos are too short! Thanks Bre!
Love to hear that!! Thanks for watching!
@@itsbreellisI agree bre! I love watching these long videos because it gets me excited for the growing season
Please please please don't apologize about the video. This was one of my most favorite videos bc it's longer. I absolutely enjoy the longer videos. Please do more this spring and summer. Thank you
Love to hear this! Thanks for watching!!
Not boring at all! It's wholesome and peaceful. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one living vicariously through your content :)
Thanks for watching!!
I appreciate going along with you during all your “boring” tasks. As a new gardener it helps me see what I should be doing in my own space. Thank you for all you share. 😊
I love to hear this! Thanks for watching!
Not boring!!! You are a go getter!!! Though I’m twice your age you really inspire me to just get out there and get it done!! Love the real lifeness you show!!! I appreciate your experiences. Your place looks so Amazing💚 And I’m taking your advise and waiting a bit to start tomatoes 👍🏼 Thank You!!!
Thank you so much!!
I look up to you Bre!! One day im gonna have a place to myself and my husband, a beautiful garden like you do and make all my bread from scratch
You're to kind! Thank you so much for watching!
Working on moving 1.5 tons of compost yesterday and today, idk how you still manage to look great after so much work!!
lol I was a mess! The camera hid some of the dirt all over my clothes and face lol
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and I’ve finally worked up enough nerve to start a garden this year! I used to loveeee makeup growing up and throughout high school .. stopped doing it because I really lost my self confidence after graduating, tried so many different hobbies.. I feel like I really lost myself for a few years after graduating.. everyone I went to school with knew exactly what they wanted to do and either went to college or immediately started their career.. I worked at the Sedgwick county Jail as a deputy at 19 because I thought I wanted to eventually be a police officer and after a year during Covid I felt it just wasn’t for me.. quit that and only made enough money to pay my car payment and burnt through my entire savings. After allll of that I felt depleted and convinced I was going to be a literal nobody. I’m 23 now and I FINALLY feel like I’m slowly getting mentally stable. I was at Walmart one day during spring time last year and stumbled across a window bird feeder.. I’ve always loved listening to the birds in the early morning. Love sitting outside with the dogs just listening to nature.. after getting that bird feeder I was like what if I started growing flowers.. so I was YouTubing helpful videos and came across your page and your entire story.. and not to mention you’re in Kansas ! I’m in Kansas too!! Anywho long-story short you have inspired me. I hope you continue to make videos because I truly enjoy your videos and advice and just your entire outlook on life.. I hope the 2024 season brings you nothing but joy and peace. Thank you for being YOU and making these amazing videos. Even if it’s just playing in the soil I love it!
You have plenty of time to figure it all out!! When I was 23 I became extremely allergic to hair color and I was a hairdresser. I had to leave that career. I did a few other things and covid came around and I was laid off from the career I stubbed into after that. Thats when I started to really dive into gardening. The more im outside the better Ive always felt when It comes to uncertain times! Thanks for sharing your story, and congrats on starting your first garden this year!!! So exciting!!!
Well, a year ago we lived in the city on .75 acres with a small garden but had BIG dreams of being self sufficient and having a large property with a large garden, animals, fruit trees, etc
I love all your videos! Nothing you show us is ever boring! I learn so much from you each video! Thanks again..
I got 4 cu yards of soil last year for my raised beds, this year I went a little easier for my grow bags and only got 2 cu yards 😂. It's great exercise, and I noticed the leftover soil was perfect for worms to move in and give me free worm fertilizer!
Also for my compost bins I use untreated pallet structures with removable wood slats for the front-it works really well.
Thanks for sharing your compost idea & thanks for watching!
I just found your channel this past week, and I couldn't be more thrilled lol. I have a backyard garden in the midwest with about the same amount of space you have. I just got a chip drop for mulching my garden beds, and Holy. Swear. Word. Has it been a ton of work. Your videos have been super relatable, and I've been loving them!
Thank you so much for watching!!! Gardening can be some hard work, but so rewarding!!
I recently had 6 yards of compost delivered to my home for our new garden! Good luck haha
Soil delivery day is always fun one lol
Thanks for listening and making Longer videos I know it takes time to edit and all, but I appreciate your time and sharing your gardening with us and Please make LONGER VIDEOS.. 😊❤
Thanks for watching!!
Hi, not all grubs are pests. If you mulch or you find some in your compost heap, they could be Rose Chafer larvae and you definitely want to keep these, they are very beneficial for your garden.
Really cool using the hog fencing for a frost cloth structure too! I might see if i can use a bigger version for shade cloth and insect netting as well. Gotta try SOMETHING to keep the pests off my brassicas! 😄
Looking forward to this video. I haven’t watched all of your videos, so I’m wondering if you have broken down how you compost? I’d like to start, but it kind of seems a little daunting.
When I get a new system going ill defiantly do a video breaking down what I do. Honestly dont over think it, its pretty easy compared to what some people say. Do a even mixture of "browns" - anything dead and greens - anything alive/food scraps and make sure it stays moist and you mix it. You will be just fine!
Oh my god... I actualy love your compost setup! I've been stressing over affording wood and tools to build a wooden one in my yard, but you just put up some T-Posts and hog fencing. Simple and BRILLIANT! That probably breathes a lot better than wood as well, aerating the pile and speeding up the process. Only thing I might do different is put a panel on the front too to contain it from all four sides.
Yup, that was the main reason we did it! Only complaint was not having something to be able to close the system off in the front. Otherwise it got the job done!
I just bought a compost tumbler and love it!!!
Its not boring! Its very therapeutic to watch
Thanks for watching!
Beside the incredible content as always, i love the Sarah Connor´s Garden edition.
lol I always get that when I throw on the sunglasses! Thanks for watching!
Look forward to these every week, great videos and so inspiring ☺️
Thank you for watching!
I planned out my garden about 2 weeks ago and since we have had some nice 70 degree weather this week I took that time to get the garden prepped and the beds made for the first time. Last year and the year before I just shoved stuff in the ground. This was my first time doing an in ground garden the last 2 years and this year my first really planned and laid out space. My garden is about 60 by 10 with a 10 foot greenhouse I placed at the end of it. So I have 50 feet of in ground planting space. I laid out 20 beds in that space. I have 6 8x2 beds along the fence that my neighbors share and then 12 6x2 beds and 2 4x4 corn beds. This nice week of weather I laid out and tilled every single bed over 2 days and I was incredibly sore too. It makes me so happy to have a "true" garden. I am putting in tposts at the end of some of the rows for climbing veggies, I have a few more to still put in before I get twine wrapped. I'm taking that slow since I won't have plants in the ground or reaching those trellis' for a few months still. My mom scored on a pallet and a half of border bricks last year for I think about $40 total so we made 4 beds around my property and still have a ton of bricks left for us to use in her space and mine. It's made my property look so much better to have focused areas to put potted flowers in. We are hoping to move next year so I'm not putting all the flowers in the ground here.
So glad you mentioned auctions, because i got some metal raised beds like yours from an auction! So excited 🎉
I love that!!!
Spring is upon us 2 days left!🎉 Love your videos, I’m so happy when I see you put them online ❤
So excited for spring! Thanks for watching!!
Great job getting it done ❤😊💚
👍 I always say you can't have enough soil. 😎🐢 Great advice and great looking pots 🌞
Great video!
Bri, I really love this video, You definitely worked really hard!!
I’m sure though all your hard work will certainly pay off.
All that you did looks really great!!
I loved coming along with you as you cleaned up and planted your broccoli, kale, cabbage.
I definitely learnt a lot from you!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video, Bre. I found it anything but boring. I actually found it VERY inspirational.
This is my 4th comment on this one video because several elements of this one video have really clicked with me.
Most notably the reason for this comment is that your mention and demonstration of using beneficial nematodes may just be a possible solution to the ant infestation in my raised bed. I hear they don't necessarily kill them, but they can make them move without disturbing the soil, and that's great! Plus it'll be a general benefit for soil grubs and other stuff anyway so hell yeah! I'll be doing more research. Cheers! :)
Thanks for watching!!
Looking good Bre!
Thank you!
Looking good!
Thanks!
looks great, Bre!
Thank you!!
You never really realize how much soil it is until you're moving it around your property. We're going to need to fill the trailer about 3 times this year. Im so not looking forward to it 😂
100% yes!! Its defiantly not the funnest part of spring lol
It is the busy time of the year... Spring has sprung. I'm gonna go ahead and congratulate you on 200,000 subscribers... What an amazing job your doing. Don't over do it and have a great day.
Thank you so much!
I have several of the yardfully geobins and love them. If you get more than one, you can easily flip the pile. Stores away flat when not in use
Thanks for sharing! Ill check that out!
Not boring in the least - I really enjoyed the longer video and the additional tips and past experiences you were throwing in!
Love to hear this! Thank you!
Not bored by you 😂 love you videos
Thanks for watching!!
Hey Bre! Why don't you turn that back space into both your compost area and chicken coop, chickens will even break it down faster, plus their poop in the compost is amazing. How quickly does the bags dry out? Have you also considered letting out our chickens in the winter into your garden bed space to find those grubs? Sine there is not that much planted, it should be good? Also, do you use that wood in your house for the fireplace? Absolutely love your vids.
Loved the longer week long episode!! I think I should've started my brassicas a bit earlier. I started them a little earlier than the packets said but yours are so far ahead of mine! I'm in zone 7. Exciting news though, my husband and I got plastic put on my new 9x13 greenhouse today! I'm over the moon excited! I ordered some grow bags but not from boot strap. All of your hard work paid off! It looks amazing!!
That is very exciting!!! & Thanks for watching!!
For a compost system look into getting a Geobin. You can make it as large as you want and it still saves space because it’s vertical.
Ill check that out! Thanks for sharing!
@@itsbreellisI’ve had mine for almost ten years and it’s holding strong and it’s only like $30.
One thing I like about your videos is the fact that you're often explaining things while you're actually working and accomplishing tasks. If you didn't that of course would be good too. But I think it separates you from other gardening channels where it's just talking to the camera or only kinda doing stuff. Again- not that there's anything wrong with that.
Love to hear this! Thanks for watching!
🍅🌶🍓🥦@@itsbreellis
I'm curious what fencing you used for the chicken enclosure and where you purchased it?
Chapter markers would be nice for longer videos, in case viewers want to skip back to certain parts for reference. Other than that, longer videos are GREAT!
Noted! Its something I tend to do in the summer months but completely spaced since winter time I typically don't have longer videos!
How do you get those hoops inserted to stay put into the ground to cover you're starts?
What did you use to get the t-post up and out? I have problems doing this.
❤❤❤❤❤ this video we’ll really all your videos😂 what brand of loofah seed do you use
Thank you so much! Ive gotten my seeds from baker creek. Heres a link to them www.rareseeds.com/edible-gourd-dishcloth-luffa
Oh boy. I just had my top soil/compost delievered. My husband said 2 yards was enough. Boy was he way off. 4 trips to Home Depot (so far) and get bags of the same.
It can go so fast when filling up new things!!
I would love to come to help
how old are your broccoli seedlings when you start fertilizing? and how often do you fertilize? love your channel, thanks!!
Thank you! I started around 3 weeks I believe. Most my seedlings will get fed around 2-3 times before they go out depending on how long they are inside. It also depends on what you use. The fish and Seaweed fertilizer Ive been using can be done every 1-2 weeks
Your garden and house are beautiful! I’m just curious, why do you want to move?
I love our current space. Ideally I’d love around 5 acres so I can get other animals and have a larger garden. I’m content with what I have but I’d love to dabble into other things!
Where did you buy the compost soil? I live in Andover, KS and in need of compost soil but afraid to choose the wrong place and bad quality!!
How many sweet potatoes can you plant in a 50 gal grow bag?
in kc? who did you get your dirt from
Do you put anything in the bottoms of the grow bags to fill space or do you fill them completely with soil?
In the grow bags Ive never have. I have with my garden beds though.
When you say compost soil what is it? Sometimes you soil other times just compost. 1:45 Just dirt or just compost? I want to be sure I get the right stuff for my bags.
It was a 50/50 mix of soil and compost, this helps it to be less dense, and more workable vs just compost.
Hi Bre! Random question...how do you have enough space on your phone to film your videos? I record a lot of little nature videos but I'm constantly having to delete stuff off my phone and it drives me crazy. Do you just have a phone with a ton of storage?
I have so many external hard drives that I transfer all my footage onto. I typically can only film 1-2 videos before I run out of storage.
Do you water your garden with the hose?
yup
What brand are your overalls?
Patagonia
my least favorite part of gardening for sure, i have to deal with about 15 yards before the end of the month
That will be so hard work! Be so nice once its all done!
Nice LONG video. I had to watch it in 2 parts. I wish i could of helped you moving all that soil, i feel bad watching you doing it alone.
We're the isa girls more quiet than the new girls?
lol yes!
You go girl! Who needs a man?!
Girl thank you for showing the real true of gardening my butt hurts of too much digging for my fruit trees . I hope Is all wor it 😂😂😂
Gardening and growing food can be harder then it looks!! I'm sure your fruit trees will do great!! Cant wait to get some for myself!
Thank you 😊 1I got me a 4 in 1 grafted cherry tree that cost 149 dollars but thank God they send me a 3 or 4 year old tree because I am sure I getting some 🍒. You can get you some and grow them in containers. 👍
