when ur onions start getting bigger. remove the dirt from around the tops of the bulbs (after they get big with tall green tops) the reason for this is the onions will grow bigger & u can keep them in the ground right up till u use then, so they just keep on growing & u will have big big onions. we would leave ares in the grow right before it would frost. then pull them all & hang them in our garage to help dry them & we would have onions all winter long & put r potatoes on newspapers on a shelf it was so wonderful having something u grew that summer in the middle of the winter. I learned all this from my grandparents. they knew how to grow. they only had there garden to feed there 4 kids & they went through the depression. so that's all they had to eat. there garden & there chickens & eggs. they thought me a lot about everything.
You have really developed a nice approach to your videos, especially with all of the graphics and animations, as well as your narratives! Great job both of you!!! Very informative! :-)
I am so happy to be taking this visual trip with you guys. What an adventure and I love your attitude and creativity with the videos. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for this video! I as well am just about to try the Ruth stout planting this year for potatoes and I was thinking of adding these in. The companion planting and your explanation was brilliant. I was actually introduced to your channel in my course I’m taking in college called Field to fork: Local and Global food systems. It was shown in our class the 337 potatoes video. I’m looking forward to seeing more.
I am a new urban veggie grower with three raised beds so far and planning to add more. i am getting a lot of good information, things I need to know going forward. Thank you. I have raised swiss chard, tomatoes, zuchinni and sweet peppers and thats it so far.
I am going to experiment with this method where my lawn used to be. If it works, great. If not. I learned something. Thank you for your educational videos.
Did my straw garden set up last year, but planted nothing, was too busy on other projects. Now am about to plant garlic, onions, carrots and radish. Thanks for the video and tips.
fantastic video, i have to say your camera and editing skills have improved greatly since the beginning. and also you gave me the grow bug, i appreciate it. wish i would have done this years ago.i think in a few years i would like to try growing (The Sakurajima Radish) it can grow up to 100lbs. 😉🖒
Your content is really incredible and so valuable guys. You must have done sooo much hard work to get here and figure out how to make such good videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Hoping to start a small garden soon. ❤️
Your carrots will have a good shape even the first year, you'll be amazed at which speed the soil is built with hay, and after 2 or 3 years you will have almost no unwanted weed left.
I saw how things did not turn out as you planned in your follow up video. You can start your seeds in the hay and not the soil. This will allow the small feeder roots under the bulb to grab nutrients from the soil while the bulbs can grow large without the compacted earth restricting it. You did a video on fast raised beds by flipping sod over on other sod. You can do something similar here if you struggle to form rows with the small seeds in the hay. Place an inch or two of soil from beside your beds on top of the hay. Then stick the seeds in this. Your hay will decompose from top and bottom, and your root vegetables will thrive without any compaction.
WOW looking great, and giving me some ideas for my carrots and parsnips. so onions and radish companion it is. and then cover with layer of straw as don't have old hay.
This was an awesome show! I thoroughly e joyed it. This put me in the mirror to try this experiment in my yard for fall planting, as well. #Keepupthegreatwork #NewSubHere
hi. love you guys for the positive attitude. have u guys seen the lectures by the Kaiser's from singing frog farms? they do transplants reducing the growing period in ground. of course they tarfet CSAs and farmer markets, so may not be suitable for you necessary. but pls do have a look.
Hello! I'm near where you are, Gatineau, Quebec. I also want to experiment with the "Ruth Stout" style of gardening. I've already obtained bales of straw but I can also have access to clean hardwood chips (from a furniture maker). So this fall, I want to mulch with grass clippings, tree leaves shredded, wood chips and straw. My question is: Do I just make layers of these like a lazagna? Could you give me the order that I should put these in? Or even if it's a good idea? I plant a lot of garlic, like 200, so this would be good to put on top? Thank you so much in advance, Danielle
Thanks for the video. Sounds real interesting. Going to try it out on our homestead! Just subbed your channel, looking forward to your channel! When you get some time, check out our new channel, we would appreciate it! Y'all have a Blessed Day!
How PBS hasn't picked this series up as show is beyond me! Everything you do is perfect. Please keep it up!
Cuz there propaganda pushers

Yours is the best comment I’ve seen in months, excellent advice thank you.
@@robs9574 I learn so much from the comments.
That an encouraging story to share, thank you

gac914 I could not have said it better.😀
Agreed! What program do you use to create the graphics?
I am so happy to be taking this visual trip with you guys. What an adventure and I love your attitude and creativity with the videos. Thank you for sharing this.
Your voice is so great for educational videos ... you could probably do videos for other companies as a side job!
your videos are amazing!!! sets you apart from most you tube channels
Thank you for taking the time to edit your videos. I enjoy your clipping pace!
Nice video! Good animation and narration. Looking forward to seeing how the experiment progresses.
Very interesting can't wait to see how this turns out! Love the elbow room animation! 😉

Great attitude. thanks. First year stouting mid michigan 2020. hoping something grows for me
My carrots used to be pathetically small too until I companion planted them with tomatoes. Give that a try.
Love your animation

Thumbs up. Thanks for sharing. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE
I can't wait to see how this works out. And I love the cartoons ☺️
Simply awesome!
Cool! I'll be waiting for the results! I'm going deep mulch gardening myself this year, for all my gardens/beds.
WOW looking great, and giving me some ideas for my carrots and parsnips. so onions and radish companion it is. and then cover with layer of straw as don't have old hay.
Nice video.
this is kind of fun to watch your progress...................lol.

as you know our beds are new and we have put all sorts into them, it's been but slow but we have faith
another great video
I like your 'give it a go' attitude. Good luck!

How do you keep the grass seeds from the hay from growing?

Can companion planting be profitable or yield more than commercial farming?
I predict salads in your future.
Did you guys think about chickens for pest control in the garfen?
cool
You don't have moles, or screws, or gophers?
After years of putting hays on top of the new soil, would the ground be too high eventually?
We are A belonging with nature we forgotten nature nature is God
How was the turnout for this experiment
Was he throwing a 'G' in onion (onGion), or was that just my ear?
Lol… I was. But I’ve since worked that particular mispronunciation out of my vocabulary, thanks to comments like this one. ;)
@Back To Reality 0 hate, my sister does the same thing and I thought she was the only one.

Thanks for the sub! We'll check yours out too!
If your planting carrots correctly, you wont have any space what so ever for companion planting.
Correctly?
@@BackToReality yes, 2" spacing
