I’d love to see a video of JP’s favorite square combos in sqft gardening and how those squares evolve via interplanting through the seasons

I watch "Growing in The Garden" with Angela, and she does square foot gardening, and she has had great success. I used to watch Square foot gardening with him when I was younger. He had a TV show. Look her up she has great ideas. God bless 🙏

Not going to lie, I normally fast forward to see my boy Tuck 🐶. Happy Birthday baby 🎉🎈🎂!

Happy Birthday Tuck! 🎂🎈🎉🥳❤️

Good to see you and Tuck doing well. We love Tuck. sending him hugs n kisses.

One of these finest gardening channels on all of KZread. Fantastic teacher. Outstanding video quality in every regard. Thanks so much, James, for the valuable education!

you planting Tuck digging... sweet combination.... un grande abbraccio Tuck

About 10 years ago i started layering wood chips like you because my soil was a solid clay pan, and the wood chips I could get all I wanted free locally delivered, they just wanted to get rid of them. Over the years I still go through about 6-8 loads of chips, I have a 1/4acre garden. But about 6 years ago, I was able to get a ton of 2x8 lumber for free and built raised beds on top of my wood chips garden. Over the years they of course decompose and i just chip the paths between beds, but I keep another two piles of wood chips that I treat as compost piles, which that is the mostly decomposed material I use every season to top of my beds. Probably over the past 3 years, my yields has been exponential. Not only are we feeding our entire house but about a dozen families on our street, its really quite insane. We are able to squeeze in more crops, harvest is super easy and space/efficiency has been maximized. Thanks for doing these videos.

if you are using wood chips on the garden, what would happen when you try to turn the soil next season, is that ok for the soil. would not that be too much wood chips on the soil. thanks

So I don’t turn my wood chips I just plant directly down in them. After a year or so once you pull back about an inch you reach black gold in the form or great soil. Plus you shouldn’t turn your gardens. That encourages wind and water erosion of everything that is good in a garden, like minerals

@@batikh100 you definitely don't want to mix the soil with not composted wood chips. What I have seen on YT this is the common mistake and reason for people blaming the BTE is not working. Wood chips mixed with the soil will take the nitrogen from it to decompose. The natural way is like in nature - just adding new layers on the top.

Yah, you're back, missed your vlogs and glad you are back, stay safe and healthy my friend,

Thanks James! You've breathed life back into my vegie garden! Seriously, I gave up on it two years ago. There was a LOT of effort to keep up with the weeds only to have deer and birds devour the vegies, grapes, etc. it was overwhelming and I decided to not plant again....until I found your channel!:) Now I have a new plan, going to try things I have never tried before, and all thanks to you! I am excited to get started. Thanks! Happy Gardening:) Sending little Tuck lots of love and Happy Birthday wishes!

You inspired me so much that now I have fruits and veggie plants all over our house 🌱

I have been doing this from the start of my veggie patch, but I cut food grade bottles into tubes and plant inside the "grow tubes" that are sunk into the soil about 1 inch, great for water retention as well as giving the various plants different amounts of water inside the grow tubes, also cuts down on weeds.

Youre my fave, and I've watched a lot of channels. I click on you before edible acres or Canadian permaculture legacy (or any others) because your energy and detail are just unmatched. Thank you for making such an impact on mine and my family's life.

Love your enthusiasm and straight forward approach to gardening. Learning as you go. Love your dog. Tuck is the kind of pet I want. He’s so sweet.

First a big ❤ for tuck! Love the little guy 😍 Secondly I've been using this method for most of my gardening life. What I love about it is I never put two of the same crops in adjoining squares, one it helps in natural pest reduction by not concentrating the plants and two it makes the garden look incredibly pretty. Enjoy your beautiful garden, from new Zealand!

Guy, you are great in your ideas！ Don't stop

You really have a great knack for sharing your knowledge and it is most appreciated.

So happy you and Tucker are back!

Hi James I planted my first plum tree a few weeks ago and finished my first planter box, my food forest is on the way good to see you back again. Let’s gooooo

Love the grids.Its a good idea to screw the string down to the wood we are always tying it to sticks and poking them into the ground which never really works :)

"It works great, it is ridiculously expensive, and there are comparable products available at a far lower cost that would work just as well for simple garden veggies. " It's the question of if you need a Mercedes to drive to work, or a Honda. The end result is getting to the destination. Live wisely, not frivolously.

Happy Birthday Tuck! Thanks for the video!

James and Tuck are back! Hooray! Looking forward to tons of great videos, lessons, and harvests this year!

James, good to see you again! I did the same thing today with the help of my grandson. It was his idea to use all my planters that were the same height and width. They all measured 14 inches tall, 12 inches wide. He put a 10 inch layer of wood chips over very large pieces of cardboard. Then we filled each planter with compost and lined them up on the wood chips. He told me no weeds for me to worry about. We did 4 planters wide and 10 planters long. It looks like a raised garden. My grandson told me he wanted me to garden easier this year. I had surgery and I'm getting back into the garden slower than usual. But he's going to help me this year. My great grand daughters will be helping this year too. They wish a fabulous birthday to your dog!!!! Love from south Texas and many Blessings too.

@@shar3332 Sharon, we did them on the ground, but my oldest daughter did this same thing on her patio!!! NO WEEDS!!!! She lined them up, the planters, at the edge of her patio, all three sides. It is fenced in by a eight foot tall privacy fence. So my son in law did put in some cattle panels on the fence, using u shaped nails to hold them up, for the tomatoes and cucumbers. Now, it got better as they thought out the plan....he did have some four by four timbers that he used as a base for the platers to sit on. It made the tallest planters four inches taller! A great help for her back. Then just today they added 10 inch tall planters in front of the tall planters, so it looks like two tiers! Those he planted with flowers. It's so neat and tidy. We will do the same thing here at my home for all the herbs. I hope this will work out for you. Blessings from south Texas.
