Thank you for being careful to tell and show all steps (for not assuming we know how to do certain steps). ie: using a measure stick, cutting the fish, tilling, throwing lime, etc. You are good instructors...Most helpful to us beginners. Be Blessed.
I’m starting pepper seedlings for the first time this year. Hollis and Nancy are such lovely ppl with the best advice! And Hollis’ precision is really satisfying to watch. :)
Hollis and Nancy I just found your channel and I can't say enough how grateful I am to have found you. GOD bless you for all the hardwork you do and share. You both are an inspiration to me as a first time gardener. You all are a God sent. ❤
When our classroom fish died, I did this with my first graders. Made the death not so sad when they got to see the plant grow in the school garden. 🐟❤️🌼Love your videos! Thank you!
+TheNick508 Thank you !!! We look forward to moving to our rural homestead in a couple of more years. Enjoy your farm, you are living the good life!! Peace to you😇
Appreciate the details you give. Raised on a farm and we had a garden. When I was a kid I didn't pay attention to how anything was done. I know nothing and even less about container gardening so I'm glad you are giving us step by step details. Thanks!
+Susie Q My Daddy was born and raised on a farm in Southwest Georgia. He helped me with my first little garden in the backyard when I was 8 years old. It was very small approx 4 ft x 6 ft but I loved it. I wish I had picked Daddy and Grandaddys brain more about farming, they were awesome. Looking forward to seeing them again one day in Heaven. Glad you are gardening, it is on your DNA just like me. Hang with us on our channel, we will be releasing many more videos that may help you. Have a blessed day😇
I love you how incorporate scripture and give glory to God in your video. I have been gardening for about three years and love it. For the first time this year I started my peppers inside from seed then planted outside when temps warmed up. My plants are doing better than ever and I saved a ton of money buying two seed packets vs $3 or $4 pepper plants each.
My father puts a pack of matches or a spoonful of sulphur powder in the hole with his peppers. They are always loaded with peppers. Going to try it this year because mine weren't as nice last year.
I truly love watching every video I can with you and Nancy..I've started everything from seeds for my first time..because of you 2..I have a very good yield...God bless you both ❣💯🇺🇸🙏☝👍😎
Oh my goodness..So glad I found you two. I have already learned way more from you than I have in my gardening books! Really love the fish tip! I am sure my husband will be the one who suggests we go ahead and get that boat so we can get our own and I am more like..hhmmm..lets just swing by the bait shop..haha thank you for the wonderful video and all the wonderful tips! God Bless!
I enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and detailed. My husband works for Bonnie Plants and we have been blessed to be able to have access to all their variety of plants. The peppers 🌶 are very tasty.
I have found the more Loam soil is the easier plants grow and take to nutrients. Every year I get a bail of hay or straw and mix in to makes soil naturally loam consistency and use a layer of hay 2-3 inches around plants trunk for temp regulation and Water retention both in one function. Also do you ever use mycorrhiza fungi ? It if mixed in the soil near root when plants are small helps plant significantly thru growth term of its life. Search it out ad apply some next spring and you will see a wonderful difference it makes .
Oh boy I stumbled across your videos and can't stop. I have a 5 and 6 year old. Last year we started our first 12'x4' raised bed. Tons of fun. Now this year we started our own seeds in a sunny window. Question - Can we use fish emulsion in the bag to substitute for real fish? God Bless you both and thank you very much!!
Really great tutorial Hollis, very helpful and needed information. My tomatoes did great last summer but my peppers were a bust. Will use your method this coming summer. Again thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
Wholesome and awesome channel. I've been growing peppers for a while and haven't even thought to look at fish as early fertilizer. Very excited to try this next grow season. Wishing you both the best, always great to see a fresh take on how people grow their pepps. Judging from the results of your harvest video this seems to be very good for getting massive yields!
Welcome to the family. With fertilizer prices, alternates are really worth a try. Fish has always worked well for me. Rabbit manure is another excellent choice
New subscriber 😊 I just started my very first garden a few months ago, and it's going very well. I have tomatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots, bell peppers, and 2 grape vines planted. All of them are doing very well. I enjoy seeing all the tips. I enjoyed the fish too 😂
Welcome to the family Heather! Your garden sounds great. You are off to a great start. Enjoy every minute of your garden. Thanks for watching. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
True, I always say we are closer to God in the Garden.Just planting a tiny seed and watch it grow ,flower ,fruit, it's an overwhelming sight and feeling of God's greatest gift. May you always be bless with this gift. Blessings, Laura M 🌱🐝🐞🌻🌿🌸
+Becky Osting Thank you so much ❤️ Actually I am the one that is blessed. Nancy is the best thing that ever happened to me. I would be completely lost without her❤️❤️❤️
I like to make fish emulsion. I throw about 5-8lbs of fish in a bucket, add about 3 gallons of water. 2 cups of brown sugar. Cover and let sit for a few months, stirring once a week or so. Mix a cup full of the juice with 2 gallons of water to apply.
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead Awesome! I can't wait I miss you guys but I understand getting a break from it all and getting settled in your new place. Ill be here waiting when y'all are ready. ☺
Genius.. I would have never thought of the bamboo stakes AND the cage. Super good idea about the chicken wire fence. I live a block away from a bayou and have problems w raccoons and possums.
+Allistene Charles If you have a bait and tackle shop near you check them out. Frozen bait fish is much cheaper than grocery store fish. Check out your areas for fresh fish markets, they will give you fish heads and guts which is an excellent fertilizer. Enjoy your garden today, we are stuck inside (raining for the next 3 days )
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead my Mother & Father always had garden when I was growing up! My Father always buried all the guts heads scales etc.. from the fish we caught in the garden telling us that it's why his plants alway produced lots of & big vegetables! I have grown gardens since I moved out of my parents house 20+ years ago. the past few years I've been unable to grow a garden due to illness. this year I'm growing a garden again. I had forgot about the fish until I watched you planting squash! the white bass are starting to run & the crappie will be spawning soon too! I'm going to have beautiful garden! thanks for helping me remember lessons taught all those years ago. helping Mom & Dad in the garden! I remember picking carrots an asking" is it okay to eat?" hearing "yes rinse all the dirt off with the hose first" years later I remember watching my dad sitting in his lawn chair watering his tomatoes & how proud he was of his gardens! he's been gone now almost 19 years. Thanks again for the trip down memory lane!
+William Branstetter Thanks for sharing! Sounds like our Dads were a lot alike! He is the one that taught me to use the fish too. He helped me start my first garden when I was eight years old and have loved it ever since. My Daddy is in heaven now too for 10 years. Sometimes I can feel him with me when I am working in the garden. Peace to you William, have a peaceful weekend😍😍🐶
I planted bok choy seeds in little pots in my kitchen. They are about a half inch tall now. I am so excited. I am going to transplant them as they get bigger in pots in my living room. I have a grow light in my kitchen and one in my living room.
Hi, I just happened to see your videos and instantly subscribed to your channel. GOD richly bless you for acknowledging HIM in all your videos. Please what is the dimensions of your metal cage that you placed on your peppers.
Aloha Hollis and Nancy, been binge watching your videos none stop for 3 days now. do you also use fish when planting these into 5 gallon pots? Thanks for your videos
Hello. love the channel. Lots of great info. Question how deep does the soil need to be for the roots. seems to be around 7in or so. Thanks will be waiting for more vidoes. Thanks
Hi Hollis CT is going to be hot for the next few years as the ocean temps have gone from cold to hot off the coast of Africa. That means pepper weather for the NE! :-). I am growing peppers in my 2nd year garden and they are doing quite well. I really want to do fish for fertilizer next year. That may be one way I can get my hubby out on the water again. He needs to go fishing!
+Barbara Rickman Awesome!! Me and Nancy head out targeting the small fish sometimes just to get a couple of coolers full for fertilizer. We call it a fertilizer run. Nancy has a blast with the fast action 👍🐟🐟🐟🐟
Grew peppers with great success last year. I'm going at it again this year with expanded crops, including some hot chillis (reapers and ghosts)! Question: in your reaper video you mention topping them at planting. have you talked about the benefits of topping them in detail in any video? i hear it's good to promote bushing. i'm just not sure how much is enough and how much is too much.
I really enjoy your videos. I came across them because now that I'm retired, I've decided to grow our own organic vegetables. I like the idea of using fish - makes so much sense. How do you decide when to use fish and when not. The spinach in container and the spinach in the ground, I noticed that in the container you didn't use fish, but in the ground, you did. I was wondering if I should use pieces of fish in the containers. Thank you so much! I also enjoy Nancy's cooking videos - you're both great!
+Virginia Horta As a general rule of thumb, I don't use fish in containers because they take too long to break down. They breakdown very quickly in the ground but in the containers they seem to take much much much longer
+Virginia Horta When planting in containers add Bone Meal and Blood Meal in with the soil. In three weeks after planting hit them with fish emulsion and you will be off to the races 👍
Love the videos. I would love to have your garden space. I only have about a 8x10 area that I'm going to try and grow most of it vertically. Want too many different vegetables and not enough groung.
Hi! I'm planting my first vegetable garden this year. Your video was really helpful but I have one question. Do you prune the peppers at any point? I've come across some who say do and others who say don't. Id love your input. Thank you so much! Have a blessed day!
You can cut the top of the plant off after it is growing before they start showing blooms. This is called “Topping” the plant. I have tried it both ways and I have just as much harvest weather I top them or not. So, in my opinion, it’s not needed👍
Thanks for the video. I thank God that He directed me to your site. What is the powder you put in over the fish? My wife and I have not had the best of luck with peppers or tomatoes and are planning on incorporating your techniques to see if we can get a better harvest. Any tips on growing fall squash (butternut, kabachoa) for a good yield? We live in East Texas, first frost is usually in early November. Thanks again. God bless.
When our classroom fish died, I did this with my first graders. Made the death not so sad when they got to see the plant grow in the school garden. 🐟❤️🌼Love your videos! Thank you!
Very informative and helpful.. Thanks a lot!!! You explain things very well .... hope we will have good peppers this year... It is May now, is it good time or too late to put pepper plats now in the ground?
Thank you so much for this video! I am just doing my real first garden I need your advice. I got 5 pepper plants planted and 5 cucumber plants so what size tomato cages do I need? My cucumber plants are bush crops and only get 1 to 2 feet. I got those small plants bc i have a small raised bed so would a tomato cage work?

Question - Can we use fish emulsion in the bag to substitute for real fish? God Bless you both and thank you very much!!
In container we use blood meal and bone meals in the plant depend on plants. So good to teach your children to grown own foods.
Really great tutorial Hollis, very helpful and needed information. My tomatoes did great last summer but my peppers were a bust. Will use your method this coming summer. Again thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
very good informative video and I like you gave the lord the glory!
bruce Channel Amen, me too!
Thank you for your videos. I learn so much. Have a blessed spring.

I need some to set my plants into they are expensive in my country
Peppers can taste um already thanks for the information
Thank you both! God bless you both
Aloha Hollis and Nancy, been binge watching your videos none stop for 3 days now. do you also use fish when planting these into 5 gallon pots? Thanks for your videos
I love your videos! Thank you so much. So peaceful to watch.
You are so welcome!
Sorry if I missed it. When do you top your plants? Before or after you plant them? Thanks.
Hello. love the channel. Lots of great info. Question how deep does the soil need to be for the roots. seems to be around 7in or so. Thanks will be waiting for more vidoes. Thanks
9”
Do you use one fish per hole or just a piece? Really enjoy how you break down the planting process, keep up the great work and God Bless you guys.
I usually put a whole fish in the hole unless I am short on fish. If I am running short I cut them in half

Hi Hollis
CT is going to be hot for the next few years as the ocean temps have gone from cold to hot off the coast of Africa. That means pepper weather for the NE! :-). I am growing peppers in my 2nd year garden and they are doing quite well. I really want to do fish for fertilizer next year. That may be one way I can get my hubby out on the water again.

Question: in your reaper video you mention topping them at planting. have you talked about the benefits of topping them in detail in any video? i hear it's good to promote bushing. i'm just not sure how much is enough and how much is too much.
I can grow datils like crazy, but haven't had much luck with sweet pepper. I'm trying again this year.
Another great video. Love black kow
thank you Hollis for such good teaching on green peppers, when the branches bear green peppers, do I need to thin them? thank you
Hi there.
Keep on growing.
.
Do not for get the fish
Make all good.
Have a good day.
God bless you you too. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this video. Some videos recommend pruning. Do you prune? If so, do you have a video on that?
I have done it both ways. I prefer not to prune simply because I like the plants to grow naturally. I get plenty of yield.
Fine boat! Florida ready. Enjoy.
Very helpful thanks again..
Great video! I’m new to gardening so this was very helpful!
I really enjoy your videos. I came across them because now that I'm retired, I've decided to grow our own organic vegetables. I like the idea of using fish - makes so much sense.

+Virginia Horta
As a general rule of thumb, I don't use fish in containers because they take too long to break down. They breakdown very quickly in the ground but in the containers they seem to take much much much longer
I see. That makes sense. Then, would I need to use a liquid fertilizer in containers, or it's not necessary if using good soil? Thank you so much.
+Virginia Horta
When planting in containers add Bone Meal and Blood Meal in with the soil. In three weeks after planting hit them with fish emulsion and you will be off to the races 👍
Love the videos. I would love to have your garden space. I only have about a 8x10 area that I'm going to try and grow most of it vertically. Want too many different vegetables and not enough groung.
+James Melton
You can get a lot of food from an 8x10. Throw in some containers around the yard where you can find a spot for them
Wow lovely

How long do it takes for the fish to break down into fertilizer?
ok Thanks again Hollis.

👍👍
Thanks for sharing, awesome!
Are fish good fertilizer for all plants? Are there any that they are not good for?
Hi thanks for showing am after a indeterminate pepper plant is there one? great video
Thanks for the video. I thank God that He directed me to your site. What is the powder you put in over the fish? My wife and I have not had the best of luck with peppers or tomatoes and are planning on incorporating your techniques to see if we can get a better harvest. Any tips on growing fall squash (butternut, kabachoa) for a good yield? We live in East Texas, first frost is usually in early November. Thanks again. God bless.
It was garden lime. It also adds calcium which helps prevent blossom end rot.

When our classroom fish died, I did this with my first graders. Made the death not so sad when they got to see the plant grow in the school garden. 🐟❤️🌼Love your videos! Thank you!
Very informative and helpful.. Thanks a lot!!! You explain things very well .... hope we will have good peppers this year... It is May now, is it good time or too late to put pepper plats now in the ground?
If the weather in your area is warm and you are past the last frost date then go ahead and plant them
Thanks a lot of the reply, I am in Massachusetts, it's been a crazy spring this year, temperatures would reach 60+ starting this weekend..
Thank you so much for this video! I am just doing my real first garden I need your advice. I got 5 pepper plants planted and 5 cucumber plants so what size tomato cages do I need? My cucumber plants are bush crops and only get 1 to 2 feet. I got those small plants bc i have a small raised bed so would a tomato cage work?
