    I seldom comment on RUclips, of all your videos I've watched, nothing says you're gnarly and fearless than planting mint in the ground. It's the Russian of the herb garden and spreads and overwhelms like a STI. Pots are fine, ground, not so much... Lemon balm is the same family. For all you've taught me, pots, please.

    Back yard is looking good! Pro tip from corn country, hit that corn with some high nitrogen fertilizer a couple times through the growth cycle until it hits about hip high. The light green leaves indicate nitrogen deficiency. It will give a HUGE boost. Thanks for the great content.

    • @kylechristensen9108
      @kylechristensen9108 2 года назад +1

      the nitrogen fertilizer will destroy the soil food web and end up being a bad move in the long run. that may be a better call for your situation in a larger operation no doubt, but in a garden that compost he's making is better

    • @rustyschackelford9645
      @rustyschackelford9645 2 года назад +9

      @@kylechristensen9108 I didn't say it had to be chemical fertilizer. There are plenty of organic options for nitrogen. Composting thrives on equal parts nitrogen and carbon. Corn depletes the soil of the nitrogen needed to stay healthy and composting. Side dressing with some blood meal will not hurt the soil.

      @rustyschackelford9645 2 года назад +4

      @@CheddarActual For sure. planting nitrogen fixing plants such as beans or clover will help replenish the nitrogen along with adding bio mass to the soil. But corn is such a heavy feeder, that alone is not enough and will lead to low yields.

      They can still identify each other based on sight and will attack accordingly. Best practice is to not keep chickens of different maturity levels together.
