Appalachian Victory Garden: Getting Started
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2020
- In response to the recent global situation, while we shelter in place, we are planting an emergency victory garden to supplement our food supply and improve our sustainability through this event. We encourage all of you to get back to the land, plant what you can and grow as much of your own food as possible.

Jaimie my parents were children during the depression. Fortunately, I can garden and preserve the produce. I am thankful for the education and so very happy I passed along the lessons to my sons.
I would love to share some of my stories of my parents struggles. My father was just a young man at an orphanage home and my mom was one of ten children of a local farmer.
Little wonder this lady is in such great shape. She works HARD.
i too am in appalachia and over the years i have found that the clay really needs massive amounts of organic material and large amounts of coarse sand. my ratio is 1 part soil(clay), 2 parts sand and 3-4 parts compost,(stable sweepings/ cow poo/chicken poo ect..) once i did this and did an at home soil test i was able to amend the soil for acidity and then took a sample to be sent of to the soil lab here to find out the micro and macro nutrients needed. The next year was AMAZING.
My wife's family (from the UK) had a garden during the 2nd world war she said if it wasn't for that garden they would have went hungry. Thanks for the vid guys
Please show the growing progress weekly or as often as you can of the garden.
Great to see you in the garden again
My Grandmother Hazel had two Victory Gardens. The larger one became our house building lot after the war ended. I was blessed with growing up next door to Gram and was attached to her apron strings. Her brother, Ray, established Ried's Poultry Farm in Bedford, New Hampshire. 2,000 Rhode Island Red laying hens. They taught me how to be more self sufficient. So we did ok in the 1950s, with a roof over our heads, healthy foods and family. This spring, we are putting in fenced, raised beds on our woodland home. Yes, we are trying landscape fabric at the main farm kitchen garden. Thanks for showing how to work with it.
My 3 year old great granddaughter and I started seeds inside about a month ago.... So ready for good weather to transplant outside!
doubled my garden this year have some elderly neighbors that will need some help with food (fresh veggies)
In Montreal, bucket gardens were made on porches, rooftops, and fire escapes. They beautify the neighbourhoods, and socialized people too - any gardener was ready to accept compliments and to offer tips on how to do it. I was there in the late 60's I was told that the whole movement started during the war - and had continues on till I got there. I hope it's still going on there!
Love seeing the girls out there helping!!! Good experience for them!!!!!!!!!!
Hello from Morganton, NC. I am needing to do my garden in pots this year thanks to being the proud owner of a goat that thinks he is a dog! LOL
Nice video, especially like the history. Be safe.
Nice garden plot. It was a lot of work. I hope it produces a lot of food for your family. It was a good idea, especially
now in light of the unfolding events taking place. Stay safe.
Love your garden! Every area is different. Hope you will shut up all these "experts/keyboard warriors" and have a bountiful harvest. Looking forward to your progress! Rock on Guildbrook Farm!!
mom and daughter team, go go go!!
Great Idea! THANKS FOR SHARING. When the going gets tough. The tough gets going.
I follow Living Traditions in Missouri. They are only a little over an hour from us so they have great information for my area. I still learn from others all over the world though. Several years ago when I started my research I learned a lot from you as well. I do agree that having someone teach and talk about what they are doing that is in my area makes things easier. That said, I cannot call my garden a victory garden even though this is my first year gardening. I've been planning for this for most of my life. Spent three years in hardcore research. Two years talking my husband into it. Last summer transforming my backyard into a raised bed garden. Received a greenhouse in the fall. And, began gardening this year. I feel bad for those who are like me and have a black thumb and trying to get started under pressure. It's a good thing for you to bring this information to folks especially in your area. You're a really good gardener and folks will learn a lot from you.
Paulla Wells I reviewed many of your comments on many many channels. Spend moh
Rebecca Stanley - What?
Paulla Wells sorry my comment was cut off
@@Bex-rg8pj - Can you repeat what you were saying, please? I do not understand, "Spend moh."
Paulla Wells lol I don’t even remember
It is so lovely to have another gardening video from you! I've missed them!
Thank you! Your going to have a beautiful garden. Ours is about the same size and we are on a very small budget so we use cardboard boxes held down with rocks between the rows. If your able to have dogs in your new place I highly recommend a Great Pyrenees. We have one and he protects the chickens and the garden from all predators. Once word gets out in the animal kingdom that there is a Pyrenees they steer clear of the property.
We live in Virginia Beach Va. We have already started our garden again this year. Our local garden center and our local Lowes and Home Depot says they have seen a bigger demand for vegetable plants this year. Our back yard is only about the size of your garden so we have a small raised bed as well as a number of containers. I actually harvested some romaine lettuce today and had a nice salad for lunch.
Awesome! Hard work for sure! Great helpers. Don’t forget your row covers to keep your cabbage , brassicas, from being eaten! Very encouraging!
Terrific ! I have been gardening for nearly 30 yrs and have close to 600 plants. Natives, food plants, several certified habitats. This was a first visit to your terrific channel. Nice share ! So important...always a silver lining to challenges like these. Many blessings to you !
If more people used that fabric I think they would enjoy gardening more!
Yeah weeding is not fun
I started to use fabric last year and it was a game changer for me. Creeping charlie however doesn't seem to deterred by it. haha
I used that fabric before works ok for a few years butyou cant easily amend soil or booadfork at all. one other thing i learned is that rows need to be wide enough for a wheelbarrow and for me to kneel next to the garden bed
Sadly, many politicians don't want people to have gardens. It takes away control from the government. Life has certainly changed since WWII. I'm going to give it a shot though.
Most people don't even have access to land to start a garden.
Thank you for providing the name of the gardening application. This will definitely help. Your garden is coming along nicely.
Excellent video! Well-crafted and produced. Good narration and excellent audio. One of your best efforts. You raised a hardworking youngster, too. Good work!
I agree
Keep us posted on how your garden is growing! I know you have your hands full with the house build. But I miss your homesteading content like growing and canning! Take care and stay well :)
Love your work,,, we are using shovels and have recruited our chickens to eat all the bugs out of the dirt.
You guys put in some serious work on this garden! Nice work!!!
I love the garden cloth we have used it for a long time and you can reuse it next year.
Amazing garden. That'll keep you busy for the summer! Good luck with your garden and happy canning in a few months.
Wow, read my mind. We just moved into our new house last week (we're back in a small suburban home) and I was planning on spinning up some gardens. Very interested now in these types of gardens. Thanks for sharing!
You guys don't do things by halves, love it!!!
YOU HAVE A GARDEN!!! WOOHOO!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🎶🎉
Are you familiar with contour farming? That's a large plot you had created, and it is on a slope. You are going to have issues with soil erosion. The Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1940's began showing farmers in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina to plant their crops perpendicular to the slopes, following the contour of the land. This prevented soil erosion. My grandfather had a 280 acre farm in what was then rural Franklin, Tennessee, and he grew crops for 40+ years on that property with no erosion.
Good to know.
@ Hideout Good point, and one which is consonant with "lynchets", which are earth terraces perpendicular to the sides of hills. They are a feature of ancient agricultural field systems of the British Isles, and can still be seen in the landscape to this day. They are commonly found in vertical rows and more commonly referred to as 'strip lynchets'. Lynchets appear predominantly in Southern Britain and many are in areas close to Iron Age forts and other earthworks, including later Roman earthworks and earlier barrows from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
Thanks for information.
~~~You are just so right. We have been friends for years and you and your husband and channel are a joy to everyone. ..A big Thank you...GOD'S....JOY..
i set up my garden last week end. started sowing this weekend. micro greens are easy for quick harvest small crops
I love your videos. You are so easy to listen to - pleasant clear voice with a concise message. Very informative. I am excited about your new home. Hope your art work is bringing you peace during this time. FYI please remember your vulnerable spot is probably your mail and packages coming in so wear gloves and / or disinfect. Leave mail for a few days before opening. Spray packages with disinfectant. Stay safe!
I really love that you did a start to finish video. So satisfying to watch!
Yes!!! Awesome video!!!
That garden should turn out amazing!
If you have some cattle ranchers near you, see if you can get some molasses & mineral lick tubs. They are near 20" wide and 20" deep which is great for spuds or a couple of tomato plants per tub. You can move the plants to a sheltered spot if hail is in the forecast.
I learn something new each video. Thank you!
Check out Roots and Refuge channel. They have an awesome gardening and farming channel. They use cattle panels for their vertical gardening. I think you'll really like Jess and Miah and their channel. Btw, Marina is not only a beautiful name, she's a beautiful girl and seems to be an incredible helper. I was concerned with her mixing the fertilizer without a mask though. It was putting off a very fine powder that would be too easy for her to breathe in and I know you don't want that. I could just easily see it, I suppose, because of the camera. Btw, I'm Dana. I've been binging you guys a lot for the past couple of weeks since I found you and I'm loving your channel. Thank you for all of the wonderfully helpful information.
That's the size of one of my gardens! I try to grow sweet corn in a 1-acre field! Looks good nice to see you guys farming again!
Great step by step of how to plan, lay out and plant a garden. Great tips Guys. Thanks.
Great job.You folks have never backed up from hard work,i really truly salute you.May the God above bless all of you and the field in which he gave you.
I use that same weed fabric in my garden. My advice is use an auger drill bit to dig holes and then add fertilizer to each hole before adding plant. I use alot of rabbit poo but also add fertilizer specific to each plant.
I like that idea! 👍🏻
Victory Garden was and is one of my favorite PBS shows, thank you for the history on the name, I am starting one this weekend because of you, Thanks!
There are those great neighbors showing up again. Nice!
For those with wooded land you can also do mushrooms to supplement what you would normally buy. With a large harvest it is worth it to dry any extra for use out of season.
Thanks for doing this.
good for you...you are so on spot
I can't wait to see the progress. This is a big garden and it should be great! I watched you guys moved and started building your new home, now the garden is the cherry on top. Great job!
Looking so good. It’s really physical but the reward is wonderful. Helps you sleep at night just knowing you are being proactive in providing healthy food for your own family. I figure plant a bit extra for the wildlife, but be strong in safeguarding your plot too. This winter might just be calling those veggies into becoming a warm soup or a hearty stew or canned jars in the pantry. Loved the peak a boo view of the house in the background - high up the mountain. This current crisis might prolong the construction time, but it will get done in good time. Food, water, shelter and can do attitude. Priorities just like our ancestors before us.
thank you for the insperation, stay safe and well, much love from the uk xxx
I think everyone can grow something. I live in a small apartment and only have a 2x4 foot space outside I can use. But I grow in containers inside and out. I do microgreens and sprouts as well as herbs and some vegetables. sweet and regular potatoes are easy to grow in containers as are tomatoes and greens, summer squash and carrots and peppers work well too. Pick something you like and just try and see how it works.
Nice neighbor!
Thank you for a real good lesson. Be well and grow lots of healthy food.
Again, you are blessed with the best neighbors!
I have only a large backyard, but after watching this video...... I WANT A BACKHOE TOO!
Thank-You so much! That was so interesting on the history end and the actual making of a victory garden. Excellent!
lordy yall are hard workers!!! its already hot here and so we already thinking about the fall garden. keep us posted and great info.
Love this!!! Thanks for sharing!! ♥️
I AM SUPER GREATFUL that you did this wonderful thought provoking video. We can all fight this by learning to be self sufficient!!
Greetings from East TN! Thank you for spreading this positive message. We've been gardening for several years and just built two more raised beds on my wife's parent's land. We all have to do our part. Every little bit helps.
amen! perfect time to start a garden for anyone. Check in your local library or township buildings or even facebook groups to meet local gardeners. If i learned anything it is that everyone has a valuable lesson they learned and will always share their best experiences! Get out and grow!
Super video! Thank you for the inspiration!
So Happy to see you back!!!. Always loved your channel.
These are the type of videos i miss.
Love your channel! Thanks so much for sharing this video! Very Very helpful to me!!❤
Thanks soooooo much.
Y’all are so lucky that you had such fancy machines to help you get your land tilled! I love watching all your progress on your property:)
I LOVE THIS. My husband and I are farmers in Eastern N.C. We just bought chicks and your videos have helped a lot. Thank you for giving us reliable thought provoking information.
That weed burner trick is awesome. Great idea I’ll have to give that a shot
I remember going for walks in the woods with my dad and he'd always have a canvas bag that he's look for leaf mold. When he was younger one of his jobs was cleaning up the horse droppings at the cross street. The horses would reliably do their business as they were stopped waiting to turn. My dad was born in 1912 and gardening was something he did his whole life, even if it was a few tomato plants.
I want to thank you for sharing you have inspired me so much
It looks awesome!
Have you thought of doing contoured swales? Harvesting rainwater in the soil changed the way we grow, everything is even and abundant!
Guys this is awesome! I wish you all the amazing growing success
Great to hear the Victory Garden reference. I’m not a fan of the plastic cover, it’s not the best for soil health. Great for weed control, not much else. Mulch does both, weed control, and improves the soil.
Agreed. I've been using chipdrop and love gettig free mulch.
I’m a fan of the no dig method but that can take a longer start up unless you can find and purchase a large amount of compost. Works great in a coastal zone b. Not sure how well it would work in the south though.
Not well.
I use wood chips and compost. I also do not till at all, what few weeds I do have are easy to pull.
I love how your doing your garden!! What a great idea and I didnt even know that the app you talked about even existed, thanks!
You guys and that growveg app are wonderful resources!
Thank you 💐
It's going to be a great garden
Great vid. I saw another channel put up a string 2’ off the ground 2’ outside of a four’ fence and it kept the deer from jumping fence.
Interesting...we may try that
Awesome video,thank you
Whew! You all sure did accomplish a lot! I'll be planting my raised beds soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
Diane in NC.
Awesome- great job!
Started a victory garden this year as well. I have been gardening in raised beds for a few years now but put in a large in ground garden for more food production this year.
Check your rainfall. Did your area get a lot of rain last year. If you get a lot of rain, you will need raised beds so the rain can drain onto the pathways. My area normally gets 52 inches of rain every year. But we have been getting even more rain. Local gardeners have been struggling with all the rain.
We do get loads of rain, or have in the past few years. We did take that into consideration when putting in the in ground garden as we know where the water pools and where it stays kind of dry. We will watch for flooding and adjust as needed.
Great video. Our gardening styles are different, but as long as they grow food and I have plenty for myself, friends, and neighbors, that's all that matters.
You guys have so much energy💪❣️My seedlings are still indoors under grow light, no planting for at least 4-5 weeks. Love your videos!
Looking great you guys. Have an amazing Monday, Andreas 🇸🇪
You are an inspiration. And I love this information..looking forward to trying that app. Thank you and your family for this.
_Way cool and lots of information! Can't wait to see your hard work pay off with food._
Wonderful video, as always! God bless your family.
Great video. So much good information. Anyone just starting out would do well to watch this.
Your garden is looking good, Jaime! Those PTO driven tillers are the bees knees, I love mine! Looking forward to seeing the garden progress and produce some home grown veggies! Y’all take care, stay safe and God bless! 🙏🏻👍
It's been a long wait for your garden! We are heading towards winter, so I'm excited to watch your garden grow!
