    In JAX, I have a dedicated space to put dead water oak leaves. It is aesthetically worked into the landscape. I have a natural retaining wall of jasmine- large 20’x 6’. No chemical treatments on yard.
    If you dig under these, it’s rich dark soil and earthworms are dense.

    Something I’ve heard from other gardeners that I really like: You don’t need to focus soo much on the plant, you need to take care of the soil and the soil will take care of the plant. Of course something else very important to remember is the right plant in the right place 🙂. For mulch I try to use what I have at hand (twigs, leaves, grass cuttings, ChipDrop, hey) knowing these will eventually decompose. Thank you for the very valuable information you’re providing.

    I want to start vermicomposting, but I'm nervous it will bring more pests and bugs in the summer. I'm also worried about keeping the worms cool. I don't want to have to put frozen water bottles and such in my bins every day. I don't have the freezer space for that. I started burying my vegetable scraps to break down over time. I'm just digging holes in my garden, putting in the vegetable scraps, and covering it up. It's a start 😅😂

      I bought a black bin with yellow top from home depot and keep them in my porch area (out of Sun). Temps still reached 90 degrees here in Florida and they flourished! I never added water bottles. I had so many babies born I moved some to my garden bed hoping they’d survive! Just watch lots of RUclips videos to get started.

    I see tomatoes in your background. I think you'll be pleased to know that tomatoes like biochar better than compost. I advise for any new tomato raised beds using like 20-40% (inoculated/charged) biochar, your CEC would go thru the roof, many composts can't compete with biochar in terms of CEC and sandy soils have a very low CEC.
    Sandy soils benefit from biochar the most. I have heavy clay soil and use it mainly to fix compaction issue once and for all. Sand would work too but it's a much worse solution.
    Biochar is good for sandy soil because:
    - Increases the CEC, which is one of the main reasons you're not leaking nearly as much liquid carbon (liquid OM) and gasses.
    - Home to microbes and fungi, does same as point 1.
    - Biochar retains up to 7 times its weight in water, compost retains up to 10 times so biochar is pretty close.
    - Aerates the soil, which is why for people with heavy clay soil it could be a good thing not crushing the biochar so it aerates your soil even more.
    - All this goodness is pretty much eternal, lasts from hundreds to thousands of years, or as the scientists like to say, it's recalcitrant.

    I am sure these daily videos are a lot of work, but they are wonderful, so thank you. I've been using biochar in my garden for a few seasons now and it is helping a lot. I don't add anything to my garden during the growing seasons, only when prepping beds, so I need something that both holds onto nutrients and improves the soil structure. I do charge the biochar first using rainwater, homemade compost, and soil from the garden.

    Another home-run! Such thorough coverage, and good argument for why everyone should care about the environment, even if you are totally inward focused.
    And bottled water, yeah, even "natural" spring water in Florida HAS to come from the aquifer. I chaperoned a field trip and saw Zepherhills, Nestle (back then) and a private store brand, all being pumped and packaged from the same spring source, which leads back to the Floridan. Since we don't have glacial springs, we are ALL drinking from the same water resource, tap or bottle. Lets not mess it up.

    I grew up in Seminole and used to regularly go to swim in local springs. There was one directly behind the St Pete College library and the other was at end of Ulmerton Rd by the beaches (that may be Largo). All since dried up to a trickle (assuming Ulmerton one is also since it is on private property and can't check it). I hear a lot of blame on agriculture for the blooms and water quality. Although they still play a large part...we have to remember they have been around in the state for a loooong time at roughly the same size. In the past few decades the size of agriculture farms has been roughly the same. Our population on the other hand has grown by almost a quarter in just the past 20 years. All you have to do is drive around the state and when you see natural areas getting torn down...they are building neighborhoods and not more farms. Most are strict HOA type of neighborhoods that have lawns. Seems logical to me where the blame for water quality declines lies. I'm hoping native plant movement catches on more rapidly. Your channel certainly helps. Great video!

    The best argument for raised bed gardens is that the fertilizers, even the organic plant food, is somewhat contained limiting runoff.

    thanks for another great vid. I live in a condo and do mostly container gardening and I've been experimenting with something I saw on youtube- fermented plant juice. I don't have the space for a compost pile so this has been an easier way to break down some of the goodness locked up in plant trimmings and make it immediately available back to the plants that are still growing 🙂

    Red tides are gross, you can't go to the beach at all when they're happening. You can immediately feel the irritation in your throat and nose when you park at the beach if it's happening, and you can smell and then see the dead fish rotting on the beach, it's gnarly. Also it's important to know whether your county has a summer fertilizer ban, which they do to try to prevent runoff during the rainy season. I'm down in Sarasota county and there's a ban on fertilizers during the summer months that contain nitrogen and phosphorus, you can only use potassium, or what are considered low-yield fertilizers like worm castings. Not that there is much to fertilize in summer in the first place, since there ain't much you can grow!

    @Life With Eric. I've been vermicomposting for many years. (Over 40 years in the same place.) Glad to say I've only ever had 1 rat issue. There is random insects that live in my compost including black solder flies. But they are all good. I cannot however include cardboard in my bins because that invites wood ants to make their home in it. Not good, but a little DE and removing the cardboard got rid of them and didn't hurt any other critters that I know of.
    It's very rewarding to pile a bunch of weeds and lawn clippings in a bin along with some food scraps. When decomp starts I add my worms and 6 months to a year (depends on the size of your bin) you will have lots of worms and beautiful black gold to add to your veggie garden. It is a slow process, be patient and you will be rewarded in the end. Happy vermicomposting. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

      Unfortunately, as David the Good says, horse and ruminant manures can contain chemicals that can destroy your soil (and can do so for years to come). You have to make certain that these chemicals are not presen in the manure. The chemicals are aminopyralids.
