I have over 150 fruiting trees in my urban garden. I'm always learning how to maximize space with growing veggies in containers to dwarf fruit trees. Thanks for another informative video.
Keep these long videos coming Mr Kohler, I love listening to them while I work and if I need to see an example of what you’re talking about I play it again 👍
I just found this video. Thank you, John, for doing this episode... now, I have to figure out how to put this information to use in my traveling school bus home...
This was a pretty cool video. :) I used nettle tea for my tomatoes yrs ago and they were so healthy and robust, I started adding organic nettle leaf powder to my fertilizer routine, along with molasses, ACV and fish/kelp emulsion. Love her small space ideas since I also garden at my apt patio. Quite timely! Thx for what you do John! :D
I love my GreenStalk such a space saver for my balcony garden. Herbs on top, beets, carrots, cabbage red and green. My balcony is only getting 4 hours of sun daily. I will be getting a second one, I have pots as well.
Hey John, I have a good size back yard with a retainer wall that I want to use but I’m not sure if I will be maximizing my space. When you come back to Vegas if you have any free time could you give me a couple pointers? I live in the Henderson area. Either way I really appreciate what you do, I’ve been learning from you for years and I’ve been learning a lot. Thank you!
love your passion for gardening and sustainable living! You are one of my inspirations for becoming less wateful! i hope to be living a zero waste life someday
What do you think of SIP buckets? We live on an incline with terrible soil and nematoads so raised beds are a must, but we also have infrequent rain so having it keep extra water is nice.
Ashley Pajak I think they’re really cool but I would suggest only using white buckets, to ensure that it reflects as much sun off of it as possible to stay cooler
So apparently there are many varieties of tree collards! Different shaped leaves, structure of suckers, etc. I saw one on the internet that's name started with a "d" that I've never seen before. Thought you would like to know John.
I live in las vegas i have a bell pepper questions about how long to keep them in the full sun. I have my bell peppers in containers and they were getting sun from 10:00 to sun down and look like they were getting beat up. I put them under my padio cover out of direct sun. Was that the right thing to do or how much direct sun should i try to give them. thanks i am trying to learn
I'd like to see you collaborate with Florida's Paul Cuffaro and Kenan of Kamp Kenan who are friends, both have fish, reptiles and farm animals and who need to grow food to feed them all "with food that money can't buy"
I have tons of mesquite wood to cook . I don t need methane gas. Don t the chickens eat her garden? I tie twine to the roofs edge so tomatoes grow up high.
I have a question about using azomite ,if I put it around the plant during transplanting do I need to sidedress and how often? Really enjoy your videos very informative
Wow great video John! That’s so funny my foti is taking over my garden! One question I wanna ask is what you can use beside its root? What else do you know about foti that you’re so interested about it?

I'd like to know if anyone is doing this in the Pacific Northwest area. Most gardening videos seem to be from southern CA or other sunny year round areas.
Most videos are in sunny places because plants and trees need sun. If you live in a place that doesn't get much sun, you won't be able to grow much. Honestly there's not much to gardening - know your land and how and where sun crosses it, mulch it if you're able to, plant things that grow well in your area, and then water. John used to be in the San Francisco bay area (so you can watch older videos) but he's moved to sunnier parts. Pacific Northwest - L2Survive has videos of Paul Gautschi's Back to Eden tours, New Jersey - The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni, Michigan - MIgarderner.
Do you need help with a new tenant watching your edible plants, you know I need help and well with the need of a rainforest dome or half dome or greenhouse. Do you have any discount sellers of a rainforest dome or greenhouse?
And could you pretty please do a video just on growing your own imo's and such??!?! I was on the edge of my seat at the end of the video! I'm no expert either dude, take a back seat and let the interviewee teach us both. Much love and appreciation.
The greenstalks do work..by design...HOWEVER.. it take an enormous amount of potting soil to fill each of those levels, and it's heavy, so you will absolutely have to have away to rotate it! YOU DO HAVE TO ROTATE IT. ..!
I've learned there's a time and place for this show. I love watching John and I've just accepted his long format. I do speed up the playback to 1.5x and I find it's still very easy to follow. I also only watch his show while I'm doing other tasks like the dishes, it's good background noise.
all the food there looks like it takes a long time to produce not 30 day crops which what she will need to do like your videos but on this one had to do a thumbs down, just do not see it doing 70% of her food, the rain water system and other things was interesting but just do not see the food production here
2nd I saw here did not like her first she needs to set on her hands when she talks, saw the shirt yeap selling it saw the book yeap selling it just trying to sell things on this video
Technically, cows belch methane as part of repeated grass digestion. Many places you can donate clothes will accept stained items to shred for insulation. 100% cotton will compost much faster in direct sun.

He is amazing
@@butterflyybabe77 yes yes butterfly..;)
That makes it so easy to find parts you're double interested in lol
Neat tour & interview...especially the summary of Dr. Ingram's compost making. Keep this going.
I have over 150 fruiting trees in my urban garden. I'm always learning how to maximize space with growing veggies in containers to dwarf fruit trees. Thanks for another informative video.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We had a fun time talking about gardening!
In how much space did you plant your 150 tree sir i'm planing on growing more than 200 trees ?
@Real Life Fruitopia
Keep these long videos coming Mr Kohler, I love listening to them while I work and if I need to see an example of what you’re talking about I play it again 👍
She is a genius! Thanks John!
Great info! I love seeing how other gardeners grow their plants and all the nerdy stuff, too! Thanks!
I just found this video. Thank you, John, for doing this episode... now, I have to figure out how to put this information to use in my traveling school bus home...
i love what you do here. absolutely brilliant. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. God bless you!

Ambree Williams i’ve never used nettle before that’s pretty cool
You have me great ideas to repurpose. Management of space,awesome.
Glad you found this video helpful!
What a great video, I love the creative use of space, plants and the entertaining content

I have 4 acres and I'm still watching this. Lol I just love your videos.
Thank you. I like this idea. small land gardening.
I put a compost pile on a blow sand area where nothing would grow. A couple years later that was the best spot to grow.
she has the best tree collard i have ever seen. can I get some seeds from her garden?
I love you both!!!! EXCITING!
Rainwater is awesome. Yeah mosquitos that's an issue, that has to be dealt with, good point.
love your passion for gardening and sustainable living! You are one of my inspirations for becoming less wateful! i hope to be living a zero waste life someday

Hi everyone i have question for all, i have 10 acres of land and one home what should i do with these. Shoud i be farmer? worth it?
MAN OF STEEL I would create a edible forest
I did that with arrowroot in hard clay soil. They were twice the size! I think the clay made them work harder.
Mucho interesante . Gracias por la information.

I have my bell peppers in containers and they were getting sun from 10:00 to sun down and look like they were getting beat up. I put them under my padio cover out of direct sun.

Great info guys 🤗
I spy a GreenStalk Vertical Planter! Thank you for sharing, John! :)
Yes!
Great video. 🦋🦋

Thanks John 👍✌️
I have tons of mesquite wood to cook . I don t need methane gas. Don t the chickens eat her garden? I tie twine to the roofs edge so tomatoes grow up high.
I grew celtuce this year, very tasty, I do try to grow at least one new thing per year.
I try at least one new thing a year.... this year it is gourds. Trying loofa and bottle varieties.
Do either of you have a trick for dealing with flea beetles, organic only.
Garden on and rock on
I have a question about using azomite ,if I put it around the plant during transplanting do I need to sidedress and how often? Really enjoy your videos very informative
Eugene Conner you can side dress but you must water it in, fortunately rock minerals last a very very long time but I would do it once a month
Awesome
Wow great video John! That’s so funny my foti is taking over my garden! One question I wanna ask is what you can use beside its root? What else do you know about foti that you’re so interested about it?
Jodie Thuy I use Fo-Ti on my skin anytime I have a mosquito bite
You meant the leaves? Good at least they’re some use of them! I have an abundance of it! It takes over my small garden
Zaatar Gardens thank you
I got a 2 or 3 year old Fo Ti in a pot, maybe trade?

Taunton Deane is the name of a tree collard I believe is different from the ones you mess with!
If you watch John's videos you're a garden nerd, Don't deny it.
We're all Gardenerds!
Guilty
They shouldn't have the methane maker if the bleeder ever has to be used. Methane is 25x more potent of a greenhouse gas than C02
I just learned the other day that cows burp methane, they don't fart it. I had no idea!

If vegans don’t believe in a raw food diet then how do they also claim to believe humans ever sustained existence on all plants?
awesome!
I want to know that how the seeds made, mean we buy to grow, but where they comes from?????????
You grow the plants, let them flower and then you collect the seeds. That's where they come from
Do you need help with a new tenant watching your edible plants, you know I need help and well with the need of a rainforest dome or half dome or greenhouse. Do you have any discount sellers of a rainforest dome or greenhouse?
And could you pretty please do a video just on growing your own imo's and such??!?! I was on the edge of my seat at the end of the video! I'm no expert either dude, take a back seat and let the interviewee teach us both. Much love and appreciation.

I don’t know what either of your “situations” are, but you are so cute together! Of course, you’d need to convert her to raw. 😂
She's wearing on her ring finger.
I missed the ring...well I tried. 😁
@@GregDinAZ You're not alone, I saw the same exact thing.
@@eastsidaproduct So did I lol
You need wind guard on mike couldn’t hear what you were saying. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️🖖🏻💪🏻✌️
Is this garden under a flight path?
Ian Wynne Sounded like an old WW II plane. Might be by Santa Monica Airport. Cool General Aviation airport.
where can I buy those kales seeds?
LMAO I totally call the seed catalog garden porn. I've never heard anyone say that but me. You know it sister!
Looks like to grow that much food on that size lot there would be growing food year around looks use every sq foot of space
#nerds are awesome
❤️
Dude you need to not make your videos so long. I don’t have an hour to watch this video. I do have 5 or 10 minutes though.
I've learned there's a time and place for this show. I love watching John and I've just accepted his long format. I do speed up the playback to 1.5x and I find it's still very easy to follow. I also only watch his show while I'm doing other tasks like the dishes, it's good background noise.
Bad audio!
all the food there looks like it takes a long time to produce not 30 day crops which what she will need to do like your videos but on this one had to do a thumbs down, just do not see it doing 70% of her food, the rain water system and other things was interesting but just do not see the food production here
Just do not see it, 70% of her food of them 6 beds, plus another spot
Two small loaf of bread will not last us two days
☝️🙂✌️First!
When someone starts a video hyper active or too cool, I immediately turn it off.
2nd I saw here did not like her first she needs to set on her hands when she talks, saw the shirt yeap selling it saw the book yeap selling it just trying to sell things on this video
This is the first Thumbs Down that I done on any of your videos
