You should commit a WHOLE video on succession planting with various plants and what to expect. This was the best part of the vid.

I don’t know how you divided up the time bar and labeled the sections, but it’s really nice!

I always like it when people do this with their videos.

you should make a video about complimentary plants like corn, tomatoes, and beans. its very economical. you can plant 3 different crops all within the same space. the corn will give the beans something to grab onto and the roots of the tomatoes and corn will actually trade and share nutrients, allowing for the beans to syphon nutrients from that as well as the soil. plants that are beneficial for eahother are so cool.

This is called the three sisters method, and if the beans have access to the right bacteria then they can make nitrogen available for theo there two, too! :)

Thank you for talking about a disabled gardener. Raised beds are also great as you get older and your knees aren’t happy.

"I plant a lettuce, 60 days later i have a lettuce" get out of my brain man lol. You make killer content my man, I've learned more from you then I have from college courses ! I finally have a prospering garden lol.(edit for my poor grammer haha)

Succession planting!! I just spent 4 hours last weekend planning my beds to make sure that we have a consistent crop all year long! I didn’t know this was a thing until I started planning what I was going to plant, saying to myself “I definitely don’t need that many radishes all at once...” thank you for answering my one question about replanting a square once I’ve harvested it!! I’m very excited...

I'm realizing its important now after ending up with that many radishes all at once 🤣. In our defense, we managed to eat quite a bit of it and gave away some more, but some still did go to waste (into our sorta compost pile)

In the bottom part, is it OK to insert pine tree logs and branches? Would this affect acidity of the soil long term?

@brianmoore4299

​@@julienorban7781 I see you sent that question a year ago with no response. The answer is no. The acidity will be lost in the decomposition. Nothing to worry about.

I really want to thank you for having this channel. New gardener here and these video's are really, really helpful! If nobody else today tells you, you are APPRECIATED! Also, you seem like a really nice person. Please have a wonderful day!

So many gems 💎 in this video. This is the jump start guide for gardeners.

About tip 7: Plant crops together, that need about the same water intake. If not one looses out, if it can't take too much/ too little water. I did this with tomatoes and lettuce. While I want to water the tomatoes only a little bit every few days, the lettuce needs water more often, like daily or every two days.

Hello! These look great, do you ship outside the U.S.? Colombia to be more specific?

I found using really large wood chips to fill the bottom of my large raised bed really helped and then I had mulch that was used from almond trees and then I put a high grade soil on top my strawberries and carrots are beautiful

@terigeorge5545

I did a similar approach to my21 raised beds. The only two complains I have is that the water blows through the bed and that I have to keep adding soil at least 3 times a year even though I chose tough degrading wood: juniper.

Those Aussie Birdie raised beds are great! I've had some of mine for 6 or 7 years and had to remove the soil from one due to tree root invasion and I found the inside of the bed in as close to pristine condition as I could possibly hope. Based on that I'd give it another ten years of life span without a problem.

I am a teacher and the topics that you cover are amazing. I can't wait to get back in the classroom and utilize what I've learned from you!

Have you ever considered doing a collab with the Property Brothers?? You guys have a similar vibe and would make EPIC videos.

This is some really good info. I'm right at the beginning of my gardening life, so I can appreciate not only the Square Foot Gardening book, but these very helpful videos. Thanks brother!

On succession planting - even if you aren’t especially organized you can do a couple of things: on the day I plant out my starts I always plant the same seeds - first succession done! Also when I was a grower we planted every Friday - I’m retired now but I’m still in the habit of putting in a few seeds every Friday. It means I don’t have to do a lot of planning but it still gets the job done. Except for zucchini and tomatoes 😮

I like hugelmounds in my raised beds because the materials eventually compost then my beds are full of natural microbes. All I do is add soil on top of the bed when it settles. I also shred my monthy bills then use the paper shreds in my beds and chicken coop and beds. The chickens seem to enjoy scratching through the shreds too.

I burn the shredded bills, then add to compost. You never know what's in the ink dye. Apparently, the only newspaper with non toxic ink in the UK is The Guardian.

What are your thoughts on companion planting? Does it really work? (ie Marigolds and other flowers/plants with the vegetables)

Wow this is a fantastic video! Can’t believe we get this content for free. Keep up the good work!

Would you consider doing an "over wintering" video? I'm a new gardener in zone 6A and I'm feeling really attached to all of my vegetable plants, herbs, and even bulbs that are not for my zone. Any tips on what does really well inside over the winter (and if they need grow lights) vs. what doesn't do well inside over the winter that I need to let go of? Thanks, I love your channel!!! :)

Those are some really beautiful lettuces you have there. Your video is enlightening, thank you.

Great video! I have been gardening for almost 5 years now but continually learning. I always wondered how long I could cut and come again on most lettuces and never realized it was around 5 times. :)

Dude you just took away a lot of my fears of gardening!!!

Give your extra produce to your local food bank. In Ann Arbor, it's Food Gatherers on Carrot Way! Feels so good!

I have some shallow beds set on native soil. Growth is excellent in them, but the challenge this year has been the puppy getting into them and digging up the soil. Had to add barriers after sowing until plants were big enough that he wouldn't be tempted by bare soil.

just getting into these channels so i get bored or sick of the talking and scroll on but this is one the few i can watch without getting bored and get good advice not to mention you look just like the guy from property brothers🤣

So much helpful information I could have watched even longer! Thanks for everything you’ve been an amazing teacher 😁

I love how organized this is. So cool and I really needed this info 🙃

Holy smokes. This video is HEAVY with insane content! Great job, Kevin. And thank you!

Thank you. Always find the information beneficial.

Awesome video!! Extremely informative and inspiring. I am starting my first ever gardening project right now and your videos have been beyond helpful! Thanks for all the great work!!!

I’ve had short beds, about a timber high, and double one high, I preferred the taller one, and that’s why we’ve ordered a bunch of taller beds this time around. As someone who has on and off lower back pain, I wanted to ensure I got the beds that will grow with us. The smaller ones are better for the kids, but as long as they have a step, then they can still help.

Awesome garden indoors. When you and belthan cottage plant I do.

As a first year gardner THANK YOU

Excellent! You're such a great teacher! Thank you for compiling the responses to all of these questions. Love the no dog method explanation about leaving in the roots

Really helpful video and amazing techniques. I can’t wait to use them in the upcoming season. Excellent work as always!!!

I was chuckling over the discussion of zones and frost dates. I live in central OR at 4200 feet vertical. We are zone 3-4. We can freeze any night of the year. And lots of people garden. It's a matter of understanding what, when and how.

Road to 700K subs

4:25 that's what I do with hand watering with garden hose. 2 minutes = 4 gallons. so I water each bed for two minutes. that gives 1/4 of an inch of water.

I don't get a winter freeze normally in south Texas...exceptions do apply LOL

Great video, I’m currently preparing for my birdies raised bed that I pre ordered through your site. Can’t wait! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I’m gonna go and order that seeding square now, that thing is pretty neat.

Do the raised beds EVER go on sale? My 86 year old dad and I have been doing raised bed, square foot gardening for many years, but our wooden 4x4 beds (all 6 of them) are about shot and need to be replaced. Both of us are retired and on fixed incomes, so buying about 4 of your amazing beds is cost prohibitive. I'm trying to do something; we both love gardening and Dad says it's his therapy...especially since losing Mom in March, 2022...his bride of over 64 years. Thank you for such a wealth of knowledge! I grew up watching Mel, bought his book and use his methods. You have carried it to the next level, teaching millions how to grow through both your successes and mistakes! May God continue to bless you!

I’ve watched a ton of your videos. My favorite gardener! This is the best video by far

I planted Romaine lettuce for the first time last summer! It was wonderful to cut and come again! My dog Jackson loved it also! Each plant got to about 4' tall before the leaves started tasting a bit bitter, but Jackson ate them anyway! Was funny to see 4' Romaine stalks in the yard!! 😳🤣

I've been gardening since 1966, and I can still learn new things. I'm trying to switch to raised beds and RGGS because of my body not liking things like bending and weeding. Thank you for your videos.

Love that template!

Best Vid Ever! Thank you for all the solid info.

2 in bed allowing roots to enter the ground works also just mulch and top dress with organic material to enrich your ground and make sure its earth worm friendly to make sure its nice and mulched so worms can tunnel thru the dirt. I beleive native weeds invasive weeds all weeds are best for mulch they just need to be dried and chopped up the put back on the same ground. ❤

Aye love seeing a new vid from you :)
