    Your tips about taking off the buds and even snipping the tops of your peppers makes a lot of sense. A plant is basically a bio-reactor; the roots pull it’s resources from the soil to convert them into produce and leaves. Forcing it to grow more roots early means it can pull in resources at a higher rate later when you want it’s production to be as robust as possible! It’s like a biological down payment

    Just found your videos, so informative, I take my tomatoes plants and lay them on their side in the pots for a day or two, before I plant them, the plant will turn & start growing vertically. You then plant your tomato and the horizontal root system gets more water, which results in better growth.

    Once I started watching your video, I couldn't stop. The condition of the soil in the garden is always beautiful. In Japan, in the summer, in addition to what you are growing, we plant sweet potatoes, bitter melons, pumpkins, watermelons, and eggplants. All of them will surely grow big in your soil. Edamame, peanuts, and asparagus are also recommended. For herbs, how about shiso, myoga, perilla sesame? If I had a beautiful garden like yours, I would want to plant them all!

      @jbcryder 4 года назад +1

      I think I need to be more aggressive about removing suckers. In the back of my mind I think I would get more tomatoes if I leave the plant bushy . I’ll try keeping a single main stem this year and see how it goes. Thanks.

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  4 года назад +1

      jbcryder different techniques work better for different situations. Suckering to only one stem works well if you’re planting your tomatoes about 12” apart, but removing too much vegetation can also cause problems like sun scolding.

      @sharisees 3 года назад

      Thanks for asking and answering this question. I was wondering if you can expand on why you prefer raised (I’m assuming, framed) beds? I live on Oahu, zone 11a, with native clay soil. Debating raises beds considering drainage - I’d fill with my heavily amended clay soil, vs retaining moisture in the heat.
      I also have nut sedge all over the yard. It’s not organic, but you might want to try sedgehammer when you are doing your initial tilling out of weeds on the rest of your property.
      Finally, excellent videos! Clear and concise with thoughtful content. I can’t wait for more!

    I am loving your channel and videos! They are so clear and easy to understand, thank you! I just transplanted some zucchini plants and the leaves are starting to turn yellow. Any ideas? I think making too much water?

      MissGreenThumbs I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos! Thank you for that feedback!
      There are quite a few things that can cause a plants leaves to yellow. Yes, overwatering is one - how often are you watering? Often it’s also cases by a nutrient imbalance or nitrogen deficiency in the soil. There are also situations where you soil has plenty of nitrogen but the plants are unable to use it such as too much woody mater in the soil or a PH out of the optimal range. Yellow plant leaves are like a stomachache, there are a lot of potential causes but best to start at the most likely/simple fix and go from there.

    Love your channel. New to gardening here... built a raised vegetable garden. For soil I mixed composted leaves/grass, raised veggie garden soil, and some native soil in equal parts. I thought adding some composted chicken manure to the mix would be good but then my neighbors and some boards on the internet are saying composted chicken manure can give you e.Coli poisoning and all types of other hazards if used in vegetable gardens (especially with root vegetables) . Can you help please 🙏🏼
    Bed is only 4’x4’x10” so I can always swap out the soil as last resort

      Alex Gmail hi Alex, that’s awesome that you’re getting into gardening! I know how frustrating and confusing it can be to read so much conflicting information when it comes to gardening. I’ll tell you that I add our chicken manure to our compost and I know many others who do and I’ve never experienced or heard of and food safety related issues associated with it. That said, I haven’t done enough research myself to tell you that there is no risk, so I won’t advise what you should do, just that I add compost chicken manure to our garden every season and will continue to do so for now.

    Nice video! Do you prefer to always buy transplants? I noticed the only thing you planted from seed was beans. I started all my plants from seed this year and it was a ton of work!

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  4 года назад +1

      Kaity Nickell thank you! I prefer to start all of my plants from seed as I did with 99% of these plants. I start most of them indoors under LED shop lights then transplant them outdoors. I have two videos on that if you are interested. I used that zucchini seedlings from the nursery as a demonstration, and there’s not wrong with most nursery seedlings but there are certainly a lot of advantages to starting as many from seed as you can. You’re right though, it is more work.

    Hi! Thank you for all of your very informative videos. I have really learned alot from you.
    I was wondering if you had a video about how to pinch the tops of different plants?
    This is my first season with any types of plants and vegetables, and so far i think im doing good. But i want my plants stronger, escpially my tomatoes. I don't want to remove too much and ive researched it, but i'm a bit confused to where to pinch and how far, and how much.. :p

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  4 года назад +1

      Hi Tiril, I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos! Right now the majority of my RUclips videos are focused on creating our new farmstead but I’m definitely planning a pepper pruning video etc. I do have more about that on my Instagram and there is a link to that in this video description. If you’re new to gardening I would worry too much about pinching off plants except for basil. Your basil will love you if you just keep doing what I showed in the video.

    At 8:05 you said not to plant courgettes together, I have two plants in the same pot at the moment and wanting to plant them out but they're a climbing variety, should I still split them or could I just train them up the trellis separately?
    Also I learnt a LOT from this video thank you :D

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  4 года назад

      Sam Stunts the reason to not plant them together is because they will try to compete for nutrients etc. and it’s not that they will die, or not produce, just that it’s very likely you’ll have a much better harvest from them if you can separate them. If you keep them together that’s ok.

    Thanks for another great video Kyle! I planted some peppers yesterday and a few of the containers I got from the nursery looked like they had 2 plants in them, I tried to pull them apart but they didn’t seem to want to separate. I didn’t want to pull them too hard so I planted them together, but now I’m thinking should I either dig them back up, try separate again, or should I cut off one of the stalks? What do you think? I managed to get 4 zucchini’s out of 2 containers from the nursery though so thanks for the tip on that one!

    • @urbanfarmstead
      @urbanfarmstead  4 года назад +1

      Ben Robinson thank! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes they can become quite rootbound but I always separate them. With some you really need to take your tome and follow the base of the stem down and gently separate them. That’s what I would do, but you could also just snip one of them off at the base. Nice job with the squash!

    • @westcoastbestcoast7683

      Dp Tech Reviews manure has mixed reviews and of course part of that is because there can be a lot of variables with it. I don’t personally use it but if I did, I would let it compost for at least a few months before using it.

    Did you dig out the natural soil before adding the soil medium on top? I want to do a no dig bed and that’s what I thought yours was until you removed soil to plant the tomatoes etc. How many inches of planting soil or whatever kind of soil do you have to plant in. It looks like 6+ inches down? I have clay about 2 niches of top soil before hitting clay. Does your soil ever wash away after a rain? I’m very new & trying to think smarter & not work harder.
