    Thank you! I just about gave up on gardening a few years ago because of RUclips gardening videos. I'm sitting on 25 acres of land, but i had my poor husband out building raised beds. I was crawling around on the ground laying down plastic weed suppressing fabric and trying to figure out how to get everything to grow vertically. I bought expensive bags of worm castings and lost an entire potato crop to potato bugs, which I was trying to kill with dish soap. I watched this woman planting in her raised beds while reciting poetry and teaching me how to use a black light at night to find and squish horn worms on tomatoes. I had planted enough seeds for a zillion acres of farm land, and I ended up with like four tomatoes, six beautiful asparagus spears and a gigantic parsley bush (which I never watered, weeded, or looked at). No food, no fun, and no poetry. Then I watched your videos, and I thought, "Hey, I'll just throw some seeds out, try to weed, and possibly fertilize with diluted urine. I'm STILL digging potatoes that I forgot I planted, sweet potatoes that I never weeded, and tons of other food, some of which we ate tonight. No kidding, you are a voice crying out in the wilderness, and you saved me from boutique gardening. And thank you for not caving to trends. Grow on, my brother!!!!

      There is a time and place for square foot gardens and a time and place for row gardening. SFG are good for kitchen and summer gardens, but if you want to store food to eat all winter, it probably won’t work. So After years of SFG, I bought more land to grow in rows. Rows provide more volume with less work and have a purpose. Especially good if you have that much land!

    • @two_hands7455
      @two_hands7455 2 года назад +4

      I agree Marie that there is a time and place for everything. Different methods meet different needs and resources. The soil patch is like a blank slate, we can make the layout and use any methods we want within it, to match our resources and to best suit our needs. We can also 'mix and match' ideas. For example, I can do 3 or more corn rows (or half-rows) side by side for wind pollination, and have one 'extra wide row' for things like my small flax patch.
      I grew up row gardening, but I am having fun trying out new methods and ideas in the garden.

    I just subscribed to your channel. The reason I did that is because I feel that you approach things in a scientific manner. You experiment, you come to conclusions, I like the way you do things. A lot of what you do doesn't apply to my situation, but I like to see things well thought out and tested, and the whole grow food first thing is great. It's very inspirational. I'm trying to go strictly organic this year, and I want to get away from tilling in my vegetable garden. I think you have some great ideas and you have the science to back them up.

    im doing both, i have one 4x12 raised bed with beets, cat littler bucket containers with pickling cucumbers, and a small row garden with sweet corn, beans, squash, tomatoes, and a few pepper plants. My native clay soil is currently pretty poor, local farms usually grow wheat, beans, and corn here. we do what we can, and keep planting on lol

    If you've got space, single rows are fine and you can use the unused soil for a second crop.

    David, super fun and informative video! Sound advice, learn to grow food and worry about the rest of it later.
    Reminded me of my father when he took golf lessons..he asked the instructor about learning how to spin the ball like the pros did? Instructor looked at him and asked what his handicap was, my dad said 29, instructor shook his head and asked, why do you care? As if to say learn to hit the ball first and worry about the tricks later!

  • @dwaingibbs93
    @dwaingibbs93 2 года назад +1

    Loved it! Where I'm at in my gardening journey is I plant in raised rows at about a foot and a half to two feet at most apart. And then I mulch in between them more so for water retention than weed suppressing( I still do a lot of weeding). For me I found its a good balance between traditional row cropping and more so permaculture ideas. I'm adding materials to try to add to, or at the very least, maintain the soil, all the while I keep the spacing closer to plant more in a smaller space and as the plants grow larger their shade also helps with water retention and choking out weeds to an extent. It's all a learning process. I don't think that there is an end to what you can learn while gardening.

    more plants equals more water conservation. With exposed dirt, water evaporates much quicker. Companion planting helps tremendously. I leave no dirt exposed and my soil stays moist for a long time.

    • @krzysztofrudnicki5841
      @krzysztofrudnicki5841 5 месяцев назад

      Yes and no. Plants are solar water pumps. More plants will shade soil so it doesn't evaporate as fast, but more plants are more water pumping from soil and evaporating through leaves.

    • @tangokaleidos1926
      @tangokaleidos1926 5 месяцев назад

      @@krzysztofrudnicki5841 yes, you are right for total water conservation, but overall you get more plants with less water per plant. It becomes a concern if there is not enough water to grow more plants. Depending on the climate also, in a very humid area, the plants will attract water in the night and early morning. So, yes and no -- correct.

      @two_hands7455 2 года назад

      Is the ground covered in rocks, or just a lot of hidden stones that are fist sized or smaller that keep showing up? If it is the latter, that is 'good soil' locally in eastern WV, USA where I grew up. The cultivator will work fine. Just keep an eye on the row post marker to lessen the meandering, and go more than once if you want to straighten the row abit and/or plow deeper.

  • @essentialcomforts2166
    @essentialcomforts2166 Год назад

    I'm on the Colorado plains The ground basically is a brick when dry. I've actually started raised flower beds by digging out dirt and putting it on the border of the bed where it dries into hard border to hold in water and keep things like mulch from blowing away. I think it is like 'waffle gardening'. Than I add layers of whatever I can find. I'm not sure If I'd actually be able to grow anything on a bump row like you do (I guess I'm doing an 'innie' and you're doing an 'outie', lol. We also get hail and high winds. Do you think your row gardening method would work ok here?
    MIGARDENDER has mentioned core gardening where you bury a row of straw. Maybe that would help but I love your easy mounding idea since it doesnt require a lot of special things like peat moss or lumber.

    • @davidthegood
      @davidthegood  Год назад

      That is some serious hard soil. I would try mounding soil in rows mixed with compost , or doing the "lasagna gardening" thing. But I'm not an expert on that climate. Definitely don't give up, but experiment like crazy in multiple spots and you'll soon know the best way. Also, you might want to research how natives and settlers grew food there, if they did.

    what about soil erosion?

      @two_hands7455 2 года назад

      I am not an expert, but I suggest going along hill contours, not to plow straight from the top to the bottom of any notable hills. You can also keep a grass buffer zone between your garden and any ponds or streams, to help hold soil. If you have a long growing season, you may also have the option of planting ground cover crops.

      Weeding is good exercise. But there is a point where it just takes a long, long time to weed.

    Man, your info is not complete. As with most you tubers, it is moulded to fit a ideal that you can make a video with. And you don't seem to have a grip on history, and recent history. Our ancestors and even in my generation used horses or mules to plow and till the garden, thus the need for wide rows.
