My wife throws epsom salts at everything in the garden with alarming frequency. I'm going to try to get her hooked on your channel like I am, and she may change her behavior! Thanks for doing FAQ FRIDAY, I've learned a few things and will keep watching to learn even more!
Lol. Ok perfect!😀
I've had blossom end rot and I fixed it with garden lime. I only lost 3 tomatoes. I put a handful of garden lime under each plant, in the garden or in a tub... no more blossom end rot ;)
What a beautiful letter and well earned. They are right Brian, you have touched people and deliver your information in a kind and caring and knowledgeable way. Thank you for sharing all you know. And a great big CONGRATULATIONS!
I agree , I have watched many gardening creators & Brian is so amazing & today is Sept 16, 2021
An this was 1 year ago ,
He now has 550,000 almost 600,000 friend/ subscribers thats almost 400,000 within 1 year ,
THAT SHOWS how truly great his content is !
He ever SO pleasant to listen to and still answers all questions,
God bless you 🙏🏻 Josette Montgomery County, Texas
First, a big huge CONGRATULATIONS!! Dude, that is so awesome! 37 days after the 100k. Unbelievable. The letter you received along with the 100k button was absolutely spot on. You have done a fantastic job with your content! You are obviously a natural teacher, but even more than that you really really do care. You so very much want to give knowledge, share knowledge and build a community. You deserve every bit of it!
Ok, now. I got at least two things from this video. First, crop rotation. I am in town. My garden is in my backyard like yours. I have a good amount of sun on one side, but not as good on the other side. I've been wracking my brain trying to think about how I could accomplish crop rotation. Now I have options thanks to you, but more importantly I have jumping off place to start any research of mine I need to do. So thank you so much for that!
Second, I used a mix that is dubbed "super soil" that I learned about from another channel. The mix contains epsom salt. Not a great deal in the scheme of things though. It is only 2 cups per the entire mix of like 2 bags of peat moss, and 2 of manure, plus other things. Make a lot of soil. I'm thinking in the future that is just not a necessary ingredient. At the amount that is added I might say it's not much, but it is the exact same amount as the oyster shells. Sounds like that is so not a good idea. Ugh.
Finally, my resulting question is, should I go back and add more oyster shells around the plants? Or some other source to increase the calcium in the soil now or will it be ok?
Thank you so much for all the effort and care you put into your videos!
Hi Paula! Sorry I missed your comment before. As always thank you for your support and kind words. As far as out in calcium after the fact my favorite way is gypsum diluted in water. But you could scratch in some of the crab and lobster shell into the surface of the soil around the plant too
California Garden TV - You’re welcome. And no worries.
Thank you for the information! Much appreciated!
Yes, PLEASE do a video on Epsom Salts to show the difference of with and without. Thank you! :)
epson salt
what is the purpose
.
@@bencyber8595 the purpose of Epsom? It’s magnesium, some gardeners swear by it to improve plant health.
I am 77 and started gardening 6 years ago with modest success. After discovering your site I have greatly increased my yield. Thank you so much.
By the way, I easily get Rock Phosphate from Amazon, usually within a week.
Thank you! I feel so special that you read my question! You even said my last name right! Will be sharing. Congratulations on 200k subscribers and you will continue to grow!
I use Epsom Salt on my tomatoes to give them a healthier vine and leaves. I've never heard of using them for blossom end rot. I mulch my garden with grass clippings and keep the soil evenly moist so I never have blossom end rot. If we suddenly get a lot of rain, I'll have some tomatoes split but that can't be helped.
Glad to hear you are available to help the home gardener, been home growing for 30 years and great to hear new advice. Steve here in Sacramento.
Thank you!
In Orangevale Steve.
Hello 👋🏾, new gardener down 99 in Modesto
Stephen Hope Hello from Merced
Dude! Every word of that you tube letter is true. You’re awesome! Your channel is the best! Be prepared cause more is comin! Congrats!
You do a wonderful job! You are such a great teacher. Thank you for guiding us in these troubled times. I found you after I started my lockdown. I haven't left the house in 65 days.
So cool you shared your 100k award with us. I think you were the first to let the world know this award exists. Congradulations!!
Also I like that you do respond to questions and people.
I try to.. but it's getting harder😑
Congrats watch most of ur vedios love about tomatoes. And love ur garden and chic house.
Yes do one on epson salt as we have always used it on our tomatoes. Never had much blossum root.
I picked up some bamboos poles this morning at Home Depot in Manteca, California. I’m the number one plant killer trying my hand at growing my food, please pray that I can successfully get to harvest. Sadly I had no interest in learning about gardening while my Mom 👼🏾 was alive, she was the green thumb of the family.
Start with easy to grow plants IE tomatoes, cucs, green peppers are the easiest for me and then, just pace yourself 🙂 A fantastically easy-to-grow houseplant is the snake plant if you'd like to have houseplants.
Most of all, don't be too hard on yourself when plants fail. It happens and you'll learn something from each failure that you'll know for next time 🙂
Take care and happy growing! 👍🏼💙
I am the same as you...Mom was always giving produce away to the community! I do know Mom always "planted by the moon" with the Old Farmer's Almanac, so I do that too (It's free on the internet, or you can buy it at Walmart after the new year).
I never was interested until I retired. I started with herbs (basil, parsley, chives, dill) in potting soil, then bell peppers & tomatoes in containers the next year. Start small, look at the tops & bottoms of your leaves every day (you can diagnosis what's wrong thru pics on YT or the internet), water correctly, make a note to fertilize every 2 wks...Miracle Grow worked for me at first, but now I'm into more organic things. You'll feel terrible when you lose a plant, but you will learn from it. Good gardening to you!
Being # 1 doesn't come easy. Bet you have more competition than you think. Every year I start out strong. Weeds take over. And more.
Trying to have about a quarter acre garden on 10 acre property.
Last year got nothing out of garden but a couple zucchini and yellow squash. Banana and Halepino and FANTASTIC corn.
This year - trying variety trying to discover possible "cash crop".
A lot of things (like water melon ) grew early and died. (Weeds and water this year in Eastern KY)
Cabbage, lettuce...lettuce died from water and made comeback - drowning again. Really disappointed cause when I planted them they looked dead and I wondered why I was bothering. They thrived, then drown then made comeback..now drowning..
Beans ? Popped up like magic when I wasn't watching. Healthy plants on weed free ground ...left alone...bunnies ate to the nubs.
Last year corn 🌽 (my fave) was beautiful and unharmed. This year I had flashback to year I told my neighbors the Chimpanzees had destroyed my corn
This year picked 2 ears from first of 5 rows. Thinking about how nice it was going to be to pick whenever I wanted fresh corn 🌽. NO comparison to store or (gag me restaurant corn). Sweet and so tender I might not have needed teethe. Got busy 2 days and when I went back and entire 2 rows of corn had half ear missing
No bugs. No chimpanzees breaking stalks. Bird poop in leaves exposed the happy culprits. Black Birds..
So fighting them now knowing chimps will be here soon (raccoon?)
But about same day I was heartbroken over corn got a thrill from some sprouted grocery store red potatoes I had put in a tire and covered with mulch. Red potatoes everywhere !
Failed years ago with sweet potato so really hadn't expected to grow potatoes which are " cheap" anyway.
Now I'm hoping for sweets too .
The more you know. The more you try I think you will find nature is amazing !
This year great start to watermelons - choked out by weeds and water..
Zucchini and yellow squash ? Easy overload which teaches you to learn uses. Fresh yellow squash in stir fry and SOUP (better than noodles which I love). Zucchini Bread - my own GREAT recipe after year experiments, zucchini lasagna...
Bountiful banana peppers , Halepino (and finally a freezer bag full of my fav - reds). Green 🍏 sad but there.
Bush green beans became vines after I put up bunny fence.
Onions. Cantaloupe vines just starting. Small pumpkins vines all over yard. (Need to finally make my first pumpkin roll) And Yikes - what is that? Broccoli.
So. As much as we kill there is still morem. Stuff just wants to live !
I'm the Texas version of Kill everything (except aloe vera, I've got 50 plants)!! I'm still trying!
Thank you so much Brian! Your content is succinct, relatable, and creative. Your direct approach and humility bowled me over and I am now a devoted follower. Your tips, tricks, and answers are so very “on point!” I look forward to new videos, and refer to your past postings for advice when any gardening issues “ crop” up! Thanks! Merci! Muchas Gracias! And “Salud!”
I learn with most of what you say. Grew my 1st container tomato plant last year although I’m quite old. Had to make notes about each topic, yet I missed so much about mixes and method/frequency of use. Love your sincerity and warmth.
I've been growing tomatoes for years but watching your videos have allowed me to step up my game. Thank you Go for a million.
Yay 200K!
Congratulations...I started watching your AMAZING and very helpful site soon after I lost my job on 3/20 (omigosh, no unemployment comp yet!!) and began REALLY devoting MASSIVE amounts of my newly-found free time in my 1800', compacted clay garden (lots of other problems too). At present I have 28 cabbages, collards, carrots, onions, potatoes, peppers (5 types), lots of herbs for companion planting & eating & bees, cukes, & zukes, with tomatoes (about a zillion, but I've lost 2 rounds to frost!), bush & pole beans, sweet potatoes, and a watermelon coming up. I also have a big bed of perennials for bees & other pollinators.
So your site has given me so much information! It's so valuable!
The part about the compost is excellent. I'm a massive fan and I'm lucky that a neighbor now's lawns & gives me the material in big sacks. As our neighborhood is not one to waste money on spraying lawns, I am delighted to take it.
Congrats Brian! You definitely deserve it. You have inspired me to plant a garden this year. I was discouraged because I don't have much space! But I got approval from my landlord and I have planted a nice little garden. Thanks for all of the videos! Keep them coming my friend.
Just ordered my Neptune's Harvest tomato and veggies fertilizer today!!! I grab a pen and paper when I watch because I learn so much from you!!! Congratulations on all the new subscribers!!! 💖
Thank you! Hope you love the products as much as i do😀👍
My bf asked me to get him some "Captain Jack's" and I got Neptune's Harvest instead. It wasn't what he wanted so I kept it and used it the other day on the whole garden.
@@karaamundson3964 🤣🤣🤣
Kara Amundson 👍🏼👍🏼🤪😂🤣😂
CONGRATULATIONS on your award!! Your garden/yard is beautiful! Your videos are informative, easy to understand and yes, entertaining! I’m planning on using the aspirin mixture on my tomatoes tomorrow. I have gotten most of the other things you’ve suggested - (except the neem oil and particular fertilizer). I love working in the garden and in my flower beds. I think that being a caretaker for the plants, watching them grow, thrive and produce is very satisfying and adds peace to our life. Thank you for taking time to make videos to help us all “Get Growing”😁
In regards to your recent illness. Been there, done that with a "TRIPLE A" You have to thank GOD, your doctors, and all of YOUR FAMILY for all of their support. GLAD YOU ARE DOING WELL>
Thank you for sharing your awards! You deserve it!
I sit down with my pin and paper and take notes on everything about gardening that you do. We have learned so much about gardening! Congratulations!
Just found you not long ago and have been soaking up all the videos! Wonderful! I finally moved to a place where I can garden until my hearts content and have four spaces already started! Using all your info and it's moving along great! Thank you so much! I really enjoy the videos and CONGRATS on the award! Well deserved!! Blessings! :)
I am loving your channel. I no longer live in CA but I am still finding a lot of value in your content. So excited for the garden this year!
Another place you can buy bamboo if you need really long canes is a fishing tackle store. They are used for cane fishing poles. They are usually stained and finished with some sort of marine grad finish and are really attractive on account of that. You can get ten foot and 16 foot poles, and if I remember correctly they are about $6 or $7 each, at least here in Georgia.
Thank you for all your answers, they help with repeat and straightening out if missed parts of instructions.
Recently discovered your channel researching companion planting with tomatoes. One thing I love besides my wife and producing music is gardening...! Excellent channel. I am a new subscriber from central Ohio. Thank you for your great videos.
You have a pretty awesome channel. It's comforting to know that some many people have the same questions and concerns and going through the same problems in gardening.You give such good information and do a great job in educating hack gardeners like myself. Congratulations on your award, well deserved, and with 200,000 plus followers you know your doing it right.
Congratulations, Bria! That letter said it all. You’ve worked hard and your recognition is well deserved and I know a million subscribers plus is on the way. Your content is always outstanding and your delivery is soothing and encouraging. Thanks to you and your family for your dedication and sacrifice of time to inspire, and encourage us. I’ve said it before, you are the best on RUclips!
My dad kept telling me to cut the tops off my tomatoes and peppers. I was dead set against it. He came to visit me and broke and cut off the tops. I was so mad. But a few weeks later I noticed how much more growth they put on and how much healthier they looked.
My granddaughter has golden pine needles, they have been living in their little homestead for a year. Fruit is growing wild all over their 11/2 acres, Muscadine grapes 20’ tall, huge trees of wild berries black, blue elder and kumquats. They planted trees for North Florida cooler winters, they are doing great. The soil is so rich everything grows very well, they have a 50 gallon water pool for their ducks and use it to spray their garden.
I don't have much problem with Blossom End Rot as long as there's not an over abundance of rain. I dig my planting holes extra-deep, drop in a whole egg or two, backfill a couple of inches, then plant my tomatoes as usual. They love the calcium and the nitrogen, and usually it's the only fertilizer I use until mid-summer. I do this with peppers too, and it has increased my yield tremendously.
Bamboo grows like crazy in the south east. Absolutely love your videos. They have helped me tremendously!
Awesome, I pass your site off to all my gardening friends. You will make a million.
I am new to your channel and am LOVING it! We have a tiny yard -- mostly patio but we are using containers and giving it a go. I had never heard of Neptune's Harvest and was looking for fertilizer (I used Espoma Biotone when I put everything in), so I am off to their site right now. Thanks!!
I just found you a week ago. I've learned a lot. I'm glad you're feeling better, you're a young man and needed around here, so get teaching and growing!!
Congrats on the 100,000 mark! Amazing 😄
I am so glad that I found your channel! I live in eastern Washington State & appreciate that your advice covers all climates. Just finished our cattle panel greenhouse & really looking forward to taking your advice on seed starting. I am looking forward to saving the $$ at the local nursery. Thank you!
I have dug up pepper plants (habnero and aji durce peppers) potting them to bring into the house over the winter successfully, without a grow light. Transplanting them back to the garden after last frost in spring.
I have done the same with both peppers myself. They do just fine doing this.
I was listening to your responses to the questions, you gave a lot of great advice. Watching the fish and the turtle casually swimming in the pond in the backgroung made it even better. Great video!
Congratulations on getting over 100,000 subscribers!! Thanks for sharing your letter and award that you received from RUclips. That is so cool!
It's so true you do amazing! So much time and research and practice goes into your hard work of sharing your gardening knowledge with us. We greatly appreciate you!
I didn't know about Charles Douting. I didn't know about nightshade plants. I actually know nothing... thank you. You have a great demeanor. I understand why you have over 200k subscribers. I'm a newbie in all of this. Thanks for your succinctly disseminated knowledge and opinions
Last year you had 100,000 subscribers and now you are going to hit a half million.
Congratulations. People can recognize where is a knowledge and the ability to pass it to others.
Getting my tomatoes planted this weekend in northern Indiana. I’m anxious to use your trellis method. Enjoyed watching your turtle during the video!
I had already put Epsom salts on my tomatoes before I hears your podcast. Oh, well there is a lesson learned every day if you are paying attention. Thank you for your program.
I'm an audience member who cares. Very much.💗 Congrats! I don't know how you don't have over a million subscribers!
Like always very good video and i have to say i start my garden 6 years ago in my first 3 years i used compos tea and Epsom salt with water and i spray my tomatoes plants only when they was blooming night time and i have the best harvest ,all summer and last me till winter i have to preserve and to frizz and give a way to my friends and was only two plants. my husband was impress ...!! and my hot peppers and sweet bell peppers also.
I winter over my peppers in my green house and have already picked peppers.
Congratulations on your 200k subscribers!
I transplanted Beefsteaks, Cherry tomatoes, Chard, Chives, Green Onions, and Red Bell peppers.
I'm using 8 gallon square containers with drain holes.
Washed Pea Gravel and Pistachio shells, as a base for aeriation.
Then coffee filters and M.G. Garden Soil. It's working out great.
Been using little kabob
bamboo sticks to support plants and check deep into the soil. If they come out feeling moist with soil stuck to them, then I know it's not water time.
The Cherry tomatoes leafs were droopy. So I got them out of my grow room, into the sunlight they perked right up.
Thought I had over fertilized them.
I'm new at this so I haven't been able to figure out what the leaves are telling me. Some had cupped up leaves in one container and others cupped down leaves but once they hit real sun light they all perked up. Perhaps it was the Dr. Earth 4-6-3.?
Light green needs more sun light, and yellow leaves can be mistaken for a nitrogen deficiency. When it's a lack of sun. Of the 43 days under LEDS , they've had 3 total days of actual sun.
The Swiss Chard and Chives are ready to harvest.
Bell Peppers are at 10".
Beefsteaks and Cherries are 12" to 18".
I learned one thing, don't start plants too early in colder climates. On the bright side, I have 5 LED GROW LIGHTS for next year.
Congratulations! And for your upcoming plaques. Love your fish. I have little goldfish in my rainwater collecting containers, some 5-6 years old. Using a 100-gal horse tank (plastic) and 30-gal garbage cans. Rainwater for garden and washing/dyeing wool or alpaca fiber. Thanks for your very informative videos! Much needed with so many new gardeners sprouting out of environment.
Congrats on the award. I see you have almost 400,000 now. Quality work!

I have used epsom salt sparingly on my tomatoes. Our soils where I am (desert southwest) are very alkaline and contain lots of calcium. Likewise our municipal water. Since epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, it contains both magnesium and sulfur. Our soils tend to be low in magnesium, and the sulfur helps make the soil less alkaline. Back when I was adding fertilizer to my garden every season., I used a mixture of cottonseed meal, bone meal, and a small amount of epsom salt for the whole garden. I had good success with that mixture. In a different location , I would have to figure out something that would be more appropriate to conditions there. I don't know if I was "right" in my reasoning because I don't have a lot of friends who garden, and I just sort of muddle along. Your program and others I have recently discovered are really helpful to my fund of knowledge. I also have always used coffee grounds in my compost, for organic matter, and because I mistakenly believed it would add some acid. Glad to have your comments about the neutral pH of coffee used coffee grounds. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your experience with epsom salt and tomatoes AND for explaining the way magnesium and calcium work. Looking forward to your additional info!
Congratulations on your 100k recognition and for passing 200k while it was in the mail!!
🎉🎉🎉
When I'm looking at this RUclips. It shows you what over 350,000 already so either this is a very old video are you growing faster than anything I've ever seen. But you've got so much good information or at least I'm so dull or dense on gardening everything's looks interesting and useful keep up the good work I sure appreciate them thank you.
Thank you. That was last spring. Yes I grew pretty fast. Very grateful!
Congratulations, BRiAN! U have doubly excel on RUclips's 1OO,OOO Award, with 2OO,OOO Subscribers, doubling in only 37 days as your data analysis tell us, your adoring subscribers. B-RiAN, you are Believable as well as UnBelievable !

Congrats on your RUclips award. You deserve it!
Thank you 🙂
I put few of my pepper plants In the basement with LED lights and I will soon be harvesting for the second time since bringing them in. Cut them back completely and washed the roots. Fresh soil. At the beginning of November.
Nice to hear!
I love the links to specific topics of this video, thank you. It is especially nice when I have to return to rewatch sections.
We have missed your videos, hoping all is well with you
Missed your tomato Tuesday, so I thought I'd check to see if it was posted or not. Hope you are well.
Fortunately, I got the rock phosphate, but it took 3 weeks to get here. The company I ordered from through Amazon said they were having issues getting supplies, then there was problems with the packages of rock phosphate themselves, and they could not send them out. Don't know what happened to the bags but it slowed down distribution. Anyway, feeling lucky I finally got mine!
Thanks about the need oil killing spider mites. I did not know that.
Really enjoying these Q&A videos, thanks Brian! The fortnightly Aspirin spray was really a useful learning to try.
That was me that suggested the watermelon boxes from the supermarket!!!! Glad you liked my idea. I have been doing this chicken thing for almost 20 years now, so I do occasionally come up with a good idea. Another good thing about those boxes is that once the chicks move into the coop, you can fold the box up and store it for the next time. I have had as many as 12 chicks in one with no problems. I did put a couple of holes in the sides to put some roosts in for them. I keep all the food and water down at one end and the heat source down at the other end so they have plenty of room to run around and and be in or out of the heat as they choose.
Well thank you it was a great idea! And so are these new additions😃
I will be transplanting my tomatoes in a week or two. So glad you put in that bit about the epsom salt as I had been going back and forth about whether to use it or not. I appreciate all the help you give. Thank you
Well done and congrats on the award. We like the way you present your topics, and your voice. So many folk on youtube have an annoying accent or speech problem. Neem oil is banned in Canada and the UK.
Congratulations! And thank you for the Epson salt info.
My neem oil is coming today. I can't wait for it to get here. I'm watching the dag gone bugs climb my snap peas
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! Thanks for being so informative, you truly are my gardening guru 🙏
Another awesome video Brian! I learned about planting tomatoes shallow and keep adding dirt as they grow taller (in container). I will try it this year.
Congratulations for awards Brian. Thank you for helping us and God bless you. I am your new subscriber, and I am learning too.
Your Awesome Brian...
Great channel, Thanks...
We enjoy the way you deliver all you information. Your channel has grown on us literally. You are the go to for our Garden Education.
Thank you Joanne. That means alot!
Thank you Brian - I thought my stores were absent minded this year about ordering Rock Phosphate! I did think just as a passing thought that you could have been the cause. Popularity does have its drawbacks lol. But actually I snagged just enough from Amazon to plant my tomatoes. Thanks for all of your videos. They are all informative and fun.
Great video and great questions. Neptune’s Harvest specifically states not to store diluted fertilizer, but to only mix enough as needed.
Perfect thanks I hadn't read that.
@@NextLevelGardening I spoke to Ann from Neptune's Harvest and asked the same question. She told me the diluted fertilizer will work fine if you store it. The downside is, since the fertilizer is made with fish products, that it will have potent fish smell if you store it.
@@joerosales1114 I hadn't read that as well...But glad you were able to speak with Ann. It seems like all the products from N H smell bad-->The Crab & Lobster Shell, I accidentally scratched my face with some of the dust on my fingers...WOW-WE). I plan to use the Asprin, Soda & Tomato Formula to spray on my Tomato plants weekly. The excess I'll pour on top of the soil now instead of storing it. I was gonna make a larger batch instead of having to make one every week and store it in our shed. Thanks to this video I'll be mixing every week.
I just subscribed today, and so timing that I happened to watch this video.. when you got that RUclips Award.. so I felt good already that I'm on the right channel. So...HUGE CONGRATS.. You present awesomely plain and simple which is easy to understand, backing up what you say with facts and analogies.. Luv it.. I just start planting on my little yard.. You inspire a lot of people.. GOD BLESS you and your family... 🎵🤗😇😷
I didn't know you could do the asprin spray on all nightshades. Thanks!
When I first plant my tomatoes, I'll put a spoon of Epson salt in the bottom of the hole, along with other stuff. For the blossom end rot, I take chewable calcium tablets, smash them up, and sprinkle it on top the soil, let the water soak it in.
Wow! Crazy to see how fast the channel grew in just 1 year! ❤️❤️ you deserve it. This channel is so helpful and awesome
I got my bamboo stakes on "Marketplace " from a local person who had too much of it in his yard. I have heard there is a chance they can root, if you leave it in the ground over multiple seasons . Congratulations on the RUclips rewards , you deserve it, and more!
Congratulations Bria on reaching over 200k! I'm just enjoying your videos so much! I tried your tomato trellis in my garden this year! I also showed your channel in my video I posted today! Thanks!!!!
Thank you! And great job🙂
Thank you for explaining the relationship between calcium, magnesium and Epsom salts. That always confused me a bit. Hello from Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦!!
We have lots of cane here in SC and it grows wild next to ponds and rivers.
I just started watching today. I love to grow veggies and I brought a dead rose bush back to life! Keep up the good work!
Congrats on 200K! I just found you this Spring. I'm learning so much!
That's great!! Living in southern California I find your videos to be the best for growing my garden and have told all my friends that garden about them also. Thank you so much for all the great information.
Here's an easy way to add phosphorus to your garden when you don't have rock phosphate. Peel a dozen cucumbers and chop the peels up into little bits. Place them on a skillet that you don't mind getting a bit burnt. Burn the cucumber skins and then grind them finely in a food processor. We burn our skins outside in bbg smoker using only wood, and then take the wood ashes and burnt cucumber powder and combine it with alfalfa meal. We add our homemade compost to our beds and reinforce the compost with the alfalfa-burnt cucumber peel-wood ashes. Our veggies thrive on this. There is another source of phosphorus that can be applied, but I won't mention the name. I will say that if one drinks a lot of water, there will be an abundant amount of this free fertilizer.
😄😄😄😄 are you talking abt pee?? LOL Do you just "go" directly onto the soil?
@@txtornado3880 I have heard from those that use this free resource that they will "go" on their compost pile.
@@wi54725 my son would LOVE to do that. 😆😆😆 peeing outside is still exciting to him! 🙃
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 200k - YEAH! Seems that a few of my friends have been getting on. Well deserved, but wondering what that means for you other than a letter and plaque, hope it means increased income too! You've earned it!
Thank you! We're getting there😀👍
You are totally my go to garden expert. You have inspired and helped me improve my gardening skills.
Seems like the success of your channel has been a good tonic for you personally. I am very happy for you. Your subscribers are very knowledgeable about gardening and even though I’ve been at it for 40 years I always learn something from these Q&A videos.

Again myth of epsom salt busted, thank you and this Q n A session was very knowledgeable ❤️❤️
Thank you, so much, for mentioning that Charles Dowding is from England, and not the UK. England is a country in it's own right and I am so glad that you recognise that. I too am from England, so you can understand how happy I am that someone from the USA gives us that acknowledement
Of course! I love England! My family heritage is there. I cannot wait to visit some day!
THANK YOU!!!!!!! for the topic time stamps. I wish everyone would do this. So helpful.
And oh my gosh .... your garden is beautiful
