Οne way to do green onions to save space. You make circles of 23-25 diameter . Each circle in the row has a distance of 50 cm between each other. You water with drip irrigation when you plant in autumn . You water till you make a 23-25 cm wet circle. In each circle you can plant between 25-30 onions The onions will grow up with the drip irrigation. You harvest the biggest for the kitchen. The next smaller onion will take the empty position position and grown bigger. You do this till you harvest all of them. So you save space in these little circles. And weeding .You can do this with parsley,arugula,radish,chicory,chard,cutting celery,beets,carrots etc
I'd never heard of lasagna beds before, but ended up doing something almost identical to what you did with it in the pacific northwest this summer. Turns out it's a great way to farm slugs, and not much else. The things the slugs didn't eat, the birds buried or dug up by throwing the wood chips around to hunt for worms. I've finally built a raised bed for a winter crop, and that's kept most of the slugs out.
While labor intensive, I've WONDERFUL success transplanting carrots and beets instead of thinning, so I started them in trays. They do GREAT. You may want to start them inside early and transplant!
Same problems I have. Beets get eaten as soon as they emerge. Broccoli, collards, cauliflower aren't coming up.or get eaten immediately. Turnips, radish, and carrots are fine.
Dont worry about storm, this still so exciting to watch. I still think lasagna and daves fetted swamp love will do the best, though i cant help but to feel for the underdogs in this experiment. My beets are also doing terrible and the bugs are still eating our greens except the mustard which i recently learned is spicy. I think its perhaps the temperature is still too warm. Like you plan i will be reseeding in a few days.
The lesson here seems the indicate the importance of organic material as seen in the lasagna bed. Do you have access to wine cap mushroom culture ? I understand they can and will destroy nematodes as well as making short work of raw organics.
Humm, I had the same thing happen. The beet seeds would come up just under an inch then in 1 night, they were gone. Now my transplant beets are fine. The same thing happened to my onions. They would come up abt 2 inches then bam they are all gone. I even covered them with a mesh. What could it be???
This really is the best gardening experiment! It's amazing the difference the mulch makes. If you have any test strips or a calibrated pH meter, I'm curious to see the pH of the different waterings, since that can affect nutrient availability. Wishing you a fruitful winter season!
Sounds like you just need to do transplants for the gardens cause something is eating the seedlings, probably ants? Idk but its kinda the same problem you had in the tropics
I found something strange googling the election results, in the ballot measures for nebraska and utah, it's worth a look, and when you see it, it's worth a crusade, as i don't know if it's still on the books in all the other states.
Start from transplants, you could grow beets indoors until they're about three weeks, give them growlights or bring outside in midday for some hours daily.
I have such a difficult time getting Brassicas to maturity when seeding them in the ground. Seems like something always eats them or they die somehow. So frustrating. Starting them as transplants seems to work better for me. Also, what's up with y'alls' pee? Looks like you guys could use some watering. :P
Nice. I love turnips. Thanks for bringing us along. Why didn’t you liquid feed those beds before or when you seeded? Seems fair. And with the fetid water, wouldn’t inoculating the soil before or at seeding better prep the bed, a la Jadam microbial solution?
I'm currently planning my next garden area.30X80-I have chosen a spot that's level slightly raised and as a bonus it's between two previously existing swales. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on using my pigs and chickens to clear the grass and disturb the soil during the winter while also adding my "safe hay" lol I hope. Along with leaves from the forest. Is this a good idea or am I just creating a bed that will be to hot? I see others on u-tube applying these methods but i have always been told that manure must be aged. Is this a myth? location Arkansas north side of lake Ouachita 500 yards from water. Thanks for all the video's bro
Alfalfa has up to 400 ppm glyphosate in it. 400 ppm! That is a whole lot of glyphosate! (That’s the epa limit for animal food - look it up.) Anyway, not too surprising that not much came up in the alfalfa bed. Gotta use organic alfalfa ($$) if you’re going to use it in the garden or feed it to an animal or anything. There’s my alfalfa rant...
@@davidthegood I was 99% sure you did but had to ask. Looking forward to more updates as the experiment progresses. I planted a garden this year and trying hugelkultur in one bed, composted horse manure in a second bed, and I'm going to try composted tree clippings and biochar in a third bed. Different plants and planting times, but it will give me some idea if they are viable soil amendments to the florida sand in central fl.
Biochar has a huge amount of surface area, not just for nutrient holding capacity, but for holding air, water and lots of microlife. These benefits will last thousands of years. Although with the microlife it's likely many are killed off with a salt-based fertilizer like Dyna-Gro. So ideally the biochar would be better off with EWC/Compost teas, or organic liquid fertilizer like the Neptune's Harvest.

Watching this while some obvious beachcoming nutjob on my TV is rapping something about sheep in tall grass... And the kids are perfecting their giant machete swings! Oh, Goodness! Must be time to go out to my garden! Really just wanted to say, DtG, thank you for your prayers, brother! Blessings to you all!
“...and very handsome man sitting in the middle...” I love your songs! And I’m loving watching your experiments.
I caught that too!
The music is perfect. Hope everyone is having a beautiful day
Mannn, this is so me!!!! I sing about what I'm doing or to my daughter or niece ...lol it drives them nutts and I just laugh. I love it!!! God bless ur singing little heart!
Another work of classical art. Stupendous. The sound of both soft and calloused hands clapping can be heard wherever this plays.
I look forward to the updates. Slowly turning bad soil into great soil is so satisfying.
I didn’t know this was going to be a musical! Awesome! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱😃
Hey David
Looking good out there in the garden!
Excited to see that DFSW in action.
Happy gardening!

I like this experimental summary song.
Man, I envy your climate. Up here in zone 6 with 150 frost free days, we can't start a garden in September and expect anything to happen.
perfect time to start winter cover crops though! I planted mine mid Sept and had a foot of rye and vetch by first frost (zone 6a).
While labor intensive, I've WONDERFUL success transplanting carrots and beets instead of thinning, so I started them in trays. They do GREAT. You may want to start them inside early and transplant!
You and Owen could probably write some of the most beautiful music together. Such lyrical poetry between you both!
The song was hilarious. Looks like a deer is eating some of your stuff. Saw some deer tracks.
High five for the disembodied hand!
Funny and information. What more could we ask for?
Same problems I have.
Beets get eaten as soon as they emerge. Broccoli, collards, cauliflower aren't coming up.or get eaten immediately.
Turnips, radish, and carrots are fine.
Dude, best opening EVER.
Dave's in his prime! Great to see 2010 guerrilla style filming back in action 💖✌️😁
Love your musical style. Haha.
Love the playful playing!thank you for being you in this sea of seeds.
Dig the song narration.
I was like, "wait is he singing about what he's doing? " Even down to the speaking segue...cool stuff.
After having read up on earthworm castings, it's not surprising that bed is doing well.

From a farmer in Honduras. He says it takes 3 years for the Biochar to really start changing the soil.
Interesting.
@@davidthegood Here is the video. ruclips.net/video/0_IdgPmnbRU/видео.html&ab_channel=PaulMorris
You have some potent fertilizer there, Thanks for sharing your winter activity. Take care .Patrick
I'm watching your experiment with great interest. Completely love the soundtrack. 😁
The clever lyrics make the video. Can't wait to see how these experiments develop!
This song has me dying 😆 😆 took a good 50 secs before we realized the song was singing what hes doing 😄

Hey I like the music you made to go with this a lot , very 90s and simple/happy! Eager to see what your results are
The song says it all.
Great video for a Beautiful Song, I see this hitting the Big Hits Soon, I am sharing on my Food Playlist for others to see, really great information!
Very interesting David thanks for the update
Keep going till you be there.
this is the kind of content I subscribed for !!!! informative the David Way...
Looks like you're having too much fun!
Man this experiment is totally awesome
The music is priceless lol
Love the song
Since its so early, I'd suggest replanting the skips and note which ones are replanted
Yes - did it yesterday.
Your songs white themselves, Mr. The Good. So damn original. You are a rare breed who really makes me laugh...
This has happened to me enough times I start everything I can early.
Sounds like you just need to do transplants for the gardens cause something is eating the seedlings, probably ants? Idk but its kinda the same problem you had in the tropics
I see deer prints in the first bed. I’m surprised there were any peas left.
Ive always wanted to do a dog duty bed....of course not an edible crop but maybe flowers. Have you ever tried anything similar.
I found something strange googling the election results, in the ballot measures for nebraska and utah, it's worth a look, and when you see it, it's worth a crusade, as i don't know if it's still on the books in all the other states.
Love the song :D
I can't get beets to grow in The Panhandle, spinach withers away after a pruning- but I'm in salt air.
Start from transplants, you could grow beets indoors until they're about three weeks, give them growlights or bring outside in midday for some hours daily.
Have you tried perpetual spinach? It’s hardier than ordinary spinach
@@fainitesbarley2245 it doesn't like salt air

The peas are doing fine in the urine bed. Hahahahha
Best song ever
Darn, missed time with the gang. :(
Okay, the gallon of urine was a bit much but at least you put it to a cool melody. 🤢💚🌱💚
Urine trouble if you think urine is taboo
You crack me up!

That turnip didn't turn up.
Are you planting everything at the same depth with your little jig? Different seeds require different depths and will cause germination problems.
Yes, I know that. I added a little extra soil to the bottom of each station with small seeds.

What were the animal tracks going across bed 1? Looked like a small wild boar. That would mean very bad news.
I think it is a bobcat.
Black Gumbo Channel sent me to your Channel.
Welcome!
So do you guys sell produce?
Not much - my kids sell a little.
Why do you think the charged biochar would do better than the straight dynagro? Maybe the biochar is not as easily moved by water?
Biochar has a huge amount of surface area, not just for nutrient holding capacity, but for holding air, water and lots of microlife. These benefits will last thousands of years.

What kind of urine 👀
Tiger.
beets are fickle litte buggers
Nooooo! Nasty green chemicals! Why, whyyyyy?
Dyna grow, the evil fertilizer.
Just Blame 2020, its been mean to us all. (Humor sort of)
This is what you were doing on 2020's big election day? lol
I voted absentee.
@@davidthegood Lots of people did. That didn't used to be controversial. :)
which one did the best? I am a millennial and too impatient to see which one works best.
