I hope that you feel the gratitude coming from us to you and your family. Sometimes a Lazy Dog video can be the highlight of the week, especially for those of us whose outdoor growing season is over. I have yet to find the perfect tool for fine weeding, though it's not from lack of buying a new one or two every year. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Brooklyn and the boys.
I use grass clippings (green)around my carrots. It keeps the weeds at bay causes an explosion of soil borne bacteria and provides the carrots with a heavy dose of nitrogen. With sandy soil it helps a lot.
I’m sure most will agree that we are thankful for you sharing your knowledge and time with us. It means a lot when a subscriber asks a question and they get an answer. Love having the family included on this channel too. I’m gonna miss y’all next week lol! Y’all enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
I was able to grow carrots for the first time this year! Thanks for all the gardening advice to allow me to have success! Carrots will be on our thanksgiving table this year. 🥕
1) Happy Thanksgiving to you, Brooklyn, and the boys. 2) I have two garden plots; one in the side yard at 4300 sq ft and one in the back yard at 1700 sq ft. They are nowhere near as large as your 10 plots, but are enough for our needs. Being in the garden is my little “slice of heaven” here on earth. 3) Be thankful we grow as many onions as we do. Yesterday (11/19) an onion recall was published for fear of salmonella contamination. 4) We are now hauling out all the moribundos plants from the 2021 growing season. We will be adding a layer of compost and then topping off with a layer of wood chips. After that, we cover everything with heavy tarps from December through March. This works for us by keeping down the weed pressure. As a Northern Grower, it is too cold to grow much of anything during those months, anyway. As a Southern grower, obviously your situation is different. 5) Been with LAZY DOG from the beginning and am glad to see the channel growing so well. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
For those of you who've had bad luck with long carrots (prepping carrot beds can be difficult) consider the ox heart carrot or shorter french chantenay varieties. The are OP, reliable, heirloom varieties. Great chunky carrots for fall soups & stews. I had a magic carrot bed once. I did amend it with organic matter & even some coarse sand & relay/cover cropped it for rotation purposes. I have never been able to reproduce that soil again. It was a native wonder to that area.
Thank you - have a blessed Thanksgiving week with your family . I miss my Daughter April ann Ulrich who was killed Nov 26th 5 months after Graduating high school here in Montgomery , Texas Its hard for me to even get out of bed daily - my only Daughter & youngest - My older son & wife and my 2 granddaughters are coming over for Aprils Angel Day . God bless your family & be careful out there these days Josette Tharp Montgomery , Texas 🙏🏻
I so agree that we need the right tools and strategies to work our land, whatever size we are working! Sometimes I have to go searching for a weed in my little garden! I know gardeners who still think the only way to weed is on your hands and knees pulling every thing and removing, my Mother-in-law is such a one, in her 80’s and not about to change the way she does anything😂! I just have to bite my tongue. Klaus
You know I love y'all - I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Do you remember the first time you planted carrots at your house? Well. That's where I am - New ground and tons of weed pressure. It would be impossible if not for my single tine cultivator and wheel hoe! I'm a week or so behind you in my planting, but I'll be out there today doing exactly what you've just done! You've taught me well, Travis!
You're helping a lot of people with their gardens Travis. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm thankful for your help and advice. You're a good teacher.
I have my onions and cabbage kale cauliflower and broccoli but I'm still picking peas and digging potatoes, I am in zone 8 b about 100 miles east of you. Another good show 😊
Until I started watching gardening videos I never really understood the purpose of a hoe. Most all of my gardening has been in containers or small beds so I’ve never had a need to use a hoe, but yours was a great explanation of which tools to use and how to use them. Thanks for sharing and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Let us know what you ate from your garden.
I know this video is from long ago.. & possibly you already did a video about different weed controls ~ that you use or don't.. But.. I would Love your opinions on the various types. Thanks again for the great advice 😊
Going to get one of those single-tine weeders before Spring season. The wheel-hoe, with the stirrup hoe attachment, has been ten times better than it was advertised to be! Happy Thanksgiving!
Since most of my gardening consists of 5 gallon buckets and raised beds, I don’t have weed pressure.. I use straw for mulch. Helps to keep stuff from drying out. Congratulations on the channel. I love watching your videos. They are always so informative. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Happy to hear that you are taking time to spend with your family during the Thanksgiving Holiday! Love your videos- Hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving.
In Idaho I could grow "mad" carrots. Now here in Arkansas, dismal failure now for 3 years. Going to rework my carrot bed AGAIN and give it another "shot".
Great video Travis. I hope you and your family have a great holiday. I am thankful for your help and the information you share with us. It has really helped with my gardening adventure.
It would be interesting to see why you do different planting methods than others. Living in the north my season is over but I'm planning on a heated greenhouse for next year.
Hey y'all, I liked the video esp the tool you helped to develop. You showed 3 hand tools I think if you showed all three in use in the soil you could show how the first two don't quite work and how the third one does work. That would help the visual learners. Take care bye for now
i have extremely sandy soil and a few years ago i started throwing grass clippings for mulch it ends up creating a mat and havent had issues with weeds and the soil has improved dramatically. i till it in at the end of the year and plant clover for the winter
Have you tried ground cover with holes spaced for carrots? It's initially a bit of work, but once the ground covers are made they can be used for years. I made some for carrots, brassicas, and onions. Fire ants tend to want to move under the covers, but they don't mess with my crops.
Sometimes we do incorporate the plant debris back into the garden. When we're harvesting carrots, we pull the tops in the garden and drop them there so they can add organic matter to the soil.
I tried wood chips in a spot couple years I fought pests more then in my other areas,I think it gives them somewhere to hide from the spray or lay eggs
You made a video recently where you mentioned giant marigolds that can be used as cut flowers. Where did you get your seed, and what is the variety name? I ordered Inca II marigolds from UF but I cannot find anything labeled “giant” marigolds. Thanks for your help!
Here's a link to the one we planted: www.johnnyseeds.com/flowers/marigold/giant-orange-marigold-seed-1883.html#q=giant%2Bmarigold&lang=en_US&start=1 They also have a yellow version too!
Why don't you use straw mulch? Seems to me it would be easily tilled into your beds after harvest accomplishing sort of what you're doing with cover crops.
Hi Travis, do y'all have Thorny Pigweed, if so how do you control it? I found tarping it helps alot but unfortunately the seeds seem to be almost imortal..and the extension service promotes the use of chemical weed suppression as a means of control...this chemical will last 2-3 yrs in the compost or your garden soil...
We just try to get them before they to seed with frequent, shallow soil disturbance. Cover cropping also helps keep them from thriving during the warmer months for us.
Okay Travis it's all your fault I went to my local cotton gin and got some gin trash but it's not actually compost yet I've got it spread out watering it in and I'll keep turning and flipping it and hopefully it will be black gold by spring. Anything else I can do to help speed up the process? I hope you guys have a awesome Thanksgiving ☺️
I fight the dang weeds in my onions every year, i can stay on top of them for the first couple months but they always seem to get away from me when the warm season stuff gets going. Any tips?
Use blood meal and bone meal. 1 cup of each for 15 feet of row. Mix it in well to about 5 inches deep. You carrots should grow well with that. You can side dress with blood meal ( dig it in beside your row. Shouldn't leave blood meal on the surface.) Do not use as much as when you first planted.)when they get about 3 inches tall. Before you plant your seeds you should check and correct your soil Ph. Around 63 to 6.8 is a good for carrots.
Wait! Wait! let me get my Lazy Dog Hat on and some paper and pen... OK! … I'm ready!! Uh huh... I've been planting carrots in the same place and have weeds bigger than carrots! That confirms my fears. Weed seeds! Lots of em' So, my decision is now to till it under and move the carrots to garden #2 where the "warts" whatever kind it is, isn't present. I needed this info and confirmation; thanks! Now tomorrow till the rest of the "mess" under and plant more carrots in #2 garden; it's more sandy there anyway. :- ) Happy Thanksgiving !!! You all are awwwwesome! Alright, Alright, Allllright!!! And may God bless.
I have a WHY DON'T YOU??? Why don't you space the crops closer - why are the in-between rows so wide? Wouldn't narrower spacing give you more harvest or space to plant other things? Thanks for all the videos and sharing your gardening science brain with us this year!
Good question. The shorter answer is that we space them farther because we have enough room to do so. When we used to sell our veggies, we would plant things much closer. Now we like to give room for the kids to help in the garden.
All good stuff... nothing to disagree with... planted Parsnips for the first time, and I've been praying over them things... only to find out yours don't look any better. :) All I can say is they better be good for all the stress they have been causing me. I hate to have crop failures... even though I know they happen every year, I'm always striving for perfection. It's a character flaw, I've given up trying to fix it... I think it's stuck in my DNA. They tell me if I would just get that Jab, it would fix my DNA... I'm thinking it don't need fixing... so I'll just pass.
I made the mistake of not planting the parsnips thick enough. I think it had to do with the fact that the seeds were so much larger than carrot seeds. So it was more of a psychological thing that wouldn't let me plant them as thick, even though I should have. Oh well, I'll know next time.
Interesting. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the microgreen thing. I understand that they are supposedly really nutritious, but it seems like a costly seed expense for a bowl full of greens. You could take that many seeds and grow a bunch more groceries if you planted them in the garden. Not saying I won't try it one day and love it, just have a hard time justifying it right now.
I'm thankful for your guidance in last 19 months. I've never been so successful in gardening before
That's wonderful to hear! Glad the videos have been helpful.
I hope that you feel the gratitude coming from us to you and your family. Sometimes a Lazy Dog video can be the highlight of the week, especially for those of us whose outdoor growing season is over. I have yet to find the perfect tool for fine weeding, though it's not from lack of buying a new one or two every year. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Brooklyn and the boys.
I think a wire weeder would work very similarly. I've been tempted to purchase one to see if I'd like it better or worse. Happy Thanksgiving!
I use grass clippings (green)around my carrots. It keeps the weeds at bay causes an explosion of soil borne bacteria and provides the carrots with a heavy dose of nitrogen. With sandy soil it helps a lot.

Trivial but--Southern Drawl a bit refreshing from farther N. Commifornia, even if it's heel for hill. 😄
I came on when you were about 250 subs, so congrats on the growth of the channel. Enjoy your time off. ✌😃
We appreciate you being here from the beginning Steve!
I appreciate the advice and enjoy Brooklyn and them youngsters.
We appreciate you joining us Linda!
Thank you - have a blessed

We're very sorry to hear that. We'll be praying for recovery and emotional healing in your family.
I so agree that we need the right tools and strategies to work our land, whatever size we are working! Sometimes I have to go searching for a weed in my little garden! I know gardeners who still think the only way to weed is on your hands and knees pulling every thing and removing, my Mother-in-law is such a one, in her 80’s and not about to change the way she does anything😂! I just have to bite my tongue.
Klaus
If she's in her 80s and pulling weeds by hand, let her keep doing it. Probably keeps her active and in great shape.
Liking that single tine cultivator , reminds me of a tool that I really like, the Japanese weed sickle
Yes, very similar to that.
I've been enjoying the music selections in your videos.
Great to hear! Thanks for joining us.
Love your channel, never miss a video. YOUR WELCOME!!! HAPPY THANSGIVING !!❤🙏👍
We’re so grateful to have awesome subs like you!

First time with carrots in new soil is always tough. But you got this!
You're helping a lot of people with their gardens Travis. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm thankful for your help and advice. You're a good teacher.
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
I have my onions and cabbage kale cauliflower and broccoli but I'm still picking peas and digging potatoes, I am in zone 8 b about 100 miles east of you. Another good show 😊
Nice! We're going to try and dig what we can of our potatoes next week.
You can use a metal sign and a flame weeder. The sign will protect your plants while the weeds burn. You can mulch the gap with the compost you get.
Both great ideas!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Love your videos. May God bless you and your family
Happy Thanksgiving Debbie!
Nice looking lettuce
Thanks 👍
I appreciate y'all too man
Thanks Wayne!

i have extremely sandy soil and a few years ago i started throwing grass clippings for mulch it ends up creating a mat and havent had issues with weeds and the soil has improved dramatically. i till it in at the end of the year and plant clover for the winter
I bet that does work well. My mower doesn’t leave any clippings, but I hear they make great compost too!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Sara!
Im digging the songs...
Great to hear!
Happy Thanksgiving ☺🍗🦃
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
Always great videos!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. ✌
Happy Thanksgiving Mark!
I guess there IS more than one way to skin a cat. Lol. Good work Trav. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Many ways to accomplish the same goal. Happy Thanksgiving!
Have you tried ground cover with holes spaced for carrots? It's initially a bit of work, but once the ground covers are made they can be used for years. I made some for carrots, brassicas, and onions. Fire ants tend to want to move under the covers, but they don't mess with my crops.
I have tried any ground cover simply because I haven’t felt like I needed it. I would be worried about the fire ants though.
Do you turn over your winter crops into the garden in preparation for spring as well as adding compost?
Sometimes we do incorporate the plant debris back into the garden. When we're harvesting carrots, we pull the tops in the garden and drop them there so they can add organic matter to the soil.
I tried wood chips in a spot couple years I fought pests more then in my other areas,I think it gives them somewhere to hide from the spray or lay eggs
I think in some climates that can certainly be an issue -- especially in warmer climates where things overwinter in the soil/wood chips.
Another good video here Trav.
My question is... do you fertilize you carrots the same way you fertilize your beets?
Yes!
You made a video recently where you mentioned giant marigolds that can be used as cut flowers. Where did you get your seed, and what is the variety name? I ordered Inca II marigolds from UF but I cannot find anything labeled “giant” marigolds. Thanks for your help!
Here's a link to the one we planted: www.johnnyseeds.com/flowers/marigold/giant-orange-marigold-seed-1883.html#q=giant%2Bmarigold&lang=en_US&start=1
They also have a yellow version too!
I’m curious how that fermented okree turned out?
It got some mold in it before I could try it. I'm going to have to try again next year.
Why don't you use straw mulch? Seems to me it would be easily tilled into your beds after harvest accomplishing sort of what you're doing with cover crops.
I use it on perennials, but that stuff is $6 a bale around here. So it would get pretty pricey to use it on the entire garden.
Do you side dress the carrots, beet and what else you have in there?
Hi Travis, do y'all have Thorny Pigweed, if so how do you control it? I found tarping it helps alot but unfortunately the seeds seem to be almost imortal..and the extension service promotes the use of chemical weed suppression as a means of control...this chemical will last 2-3 yrs in the compost or your garden soil...
We just try to get them before they to seed with frequent, shallow soil disturbance. Cover cropping also helps keep them from thriving during the warmer months for us.
@@LazyDogFarm thankyou, they are a nuisence once established. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Okay Travis it's all your fault I went to my local cotton gin and got some gin trash but it's not actually compost yet I've got it spread out watering it in and I'll keep turning and flipping it and hopefully it will be black gold by spring. Anything else I can do to help speed up the process? I hope you guys have a awesome Thanksgiving ☺️
I'd pile it as opposed to spreading it. That should help it get hotter and kill anything that's in it.
I fight the dang weeds in my onions every year, i can stay on top of them for the first couple months but they always seem to get away from me when the warm season stuff gets going. Any tips?
Go out there 2x a week and lightly scuff the soil with a hoe, whether you see weeds or not. That should help tremendously.
Can’t help but think the spacing was on purpose that the notification popped up “How to grow weed...”. Lol.
It was not intentional, but definitely hilarious!
Please mention the fertilizer I need for carrots
Use blood meal and bone meal. 1 cup of each for 15 feet of row. Mix it in well to about 5 inches deep. You carrots should grow well with that. You can side dress with blood meal ( dig it in beside your row. Shouldn't leave blood meal on the surface.) Do not use as much as when you first planted.)when they get about 3 inches tall.
Before you plant your seeds you should check and correct your soil Ph. Around 63 to 6.8 is a good for carrots.
We just try to use a balanced fertilizer -- something with relatively equal parts of N, P, & K.
Wait! Wait! let me get my Lazy Dog Hat on and some paper and pen... OK! … I'm ready!! Uh huh... I've been planting carrots in the same place and have weeds bigger than carrots! That confirms my fears. Weed seeds! Lots of em' So, my decision is now to till it under and move the carrots to garden #2 where the "warts" whatever kind it is, isn't present. I needed this info and confirmation; thanks! Now tomorrow till the rest of the "mess" under and plant more carrots in #2 garden; it's more sandy there anyway. :- ) Happy Thanksgiving !!! You all are awwwwesome! Alright, Alright, Allllright!!! And may God bless.
Sounds like a plan Herb! Happy Thanksgiving!
My question is why u dont.grow.artichokes over thr winter!!!
What kind of lettuce is that?
That variety is called Tropicana.
I have a WHY DON'T YOU??? Why don't you space the crops closer - why are the in-between rows so wide? Wouldn't narrower spacing give you more harvest or space to plant other things? Thanks for all the videos and sharing your gardening science brain with us this year!
Good question. The shorter answer is that we space them farther because we have enough room to do so. When we used to sell our veggies, we would plant things much closer. Now we like to give room for the kids to help in the garden.
I Don't Like The Plastic Between The Rows Either The Soil Can Not Breathe Or Get Wet.
I’ve never tried it just because I haven’t felt like I needed it. But I could see where that would be an issue.
I’ve come here for the free weed 😆
Haha!
All good stuff... nothing to disagree with... planted Parsnips for the first time, and I've been praying over them things... only to find out yours don't look any better. :) All I can say is they better be good for all the stress they have been causing me. I hate to have crop failures... even though I know they happen every year, I'm always striving for perfection. It's a character flaw, I've given up trying to fix it... I think it's stuck in my DNA. They tell me if I would just get that Jab, it would fix my DNA... I'm thinking it don't need fixing... so I'll just pass.
I made the mistake of not planting the parsnips thick enough. I think it had to do with the fact that the seeds were so much larger than carrot seeds. So it was more of a psychological thing that wouldn't let me plant them as thick, even though I should have. Oh well, I'll know next time.
At first my brain read: growing weed from carrots 🤔😵💫😂
😂 😂 😂
I see your old employer is trying to dapple in microgreens now. As it looks they must be new to it.
Interesting. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the microgreen thing. I understand that they are supposedly really nutritious, but it seems like a costly seed expense for a bowl full of greens. You could take that many seeds and grow a bunch more groceries if you planted them in the garden. Not saying I won't try it one day and love it, just have a hard time justifying it right now.
Another difference is 10 day turn around compared to 60-90 day in garden, and there isn't any fertilizer or pest control needed
Sorry but when I read your title I thought you were going to show us how to grow weed....free.
Growing it free isn't the problem....
Haha!
