    Thanks for the chart @ 4:54. I've not planted an official SFG yet...though I have come close by using an earlier version of his book I bought years ago at a garage sale w/o knowing much about SFG. Hugely useful process. I used DIY Berkley hot composted soil instead along with other natural fertilizers ( wood ash etc etc). That was the best, most productive garden I have ever planted. Have since moved from that 1/4 acre location and gave away all the soil and the raised beds before moving. I so miss those raised beds. Next hope to do an official SFG. thx x2

    Considering that everyone has now been ordered to stay indoors you should do a video on the best vegetables and fruits to grow indoors. It would come in handy right now.

    • @wandajuul5150
      @wandajuul5150 3 года назад +1

      Most fruits and vegetables are very difficult to grow indoors because they require pollination to produce the fruits. Maybe lettuces, but haven't heard much about doing it.

    • @mooncatandberyl5372
      @mooncatandberyl5372 3 года назад +1

      @@wandajuul5150 some plants can be pollinated indoors by hand, either tapping with your hand, using the vibrations from an electric toothbrush or using a soft bristled brush such as a new/clean make up brush. you also need to keep them on a south facing windowsill so they get at least 6 hours of DIRECT sunlight a day, difficult when you live in a small 1 bed flat. peppers, tomatoes n herbs can be grown and pollinated indoors, and others. window sills are very narrow, but putting a narrow table or two infront of window sill provides some extra space.
