Thanks. I really liked your nod to Charles Dowding and the fact that you took the idea of the dibber and improved upon it. It makes real sense that the drill bit pulls the soil out rather than compressing it and having the roots work harder to establish themselves.

I have a bad back, so I do above ground gardening. My husband made me a special 5 gallon bucket to sit on. I keep my seat cushion as well as most of the garden supplies I need in it. I also have a cane dibble he made. It helps me tremendously, less likely to fall to. It’s hard on old bones to be bent over for long times gardening. I just give it a push to make my hole and toss the plant in. Then I use my dibble to cover my plant with dirt, all while standing up mostly. And if I happen to see a snake I’ll have something in hand.

I'd love to see that trimming/peeling/washing/storing system you use for storing your onions. Great video. I have a larger auger also for planting plants like tomatoes and peppers, works so well! I need to go buy some onion starts, was trying to grow my own but fell behind this year :)

Mr. Dan and Luke, I just found your channel.GREAT Knowledge! I an a rancher's wife in northern Montana...we have 20* and 6 inches of snow today, so no onion planting here! Ha Ha! I do have a suggestion, if you will not be offended. Perhaps you might think of welding an extension on your drill bit so you do not have to bend over so far? My back hurts watching you. BUT fresh onions are so worth it! Thank you!

G'day fellas, this video just popped up in my feed, really enjoyed the content and the presentation, quick question about the timing of planting, you say it's March there, what season is that for you? It's March here which is the start of Autumn for us and I'm just about to sow onion seed, are onions a winter crop for you?

How did you prevent the straw seeds from sprouting? This has always been a problem for me. Thanks and I really enjoy your videos

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork

The bales had been sitting out in the rain etc. for at least a couple years so the seeds sprouted and then dried out because of no moisture since it doesn't rain here all summer, so now there's very few viable seeds left to germinate😊

Thanks for watching! Onion plants can handle lots of cold freezing weather but if there's snow on the ground of course you'll need to wait,but once the ground isn't frozen you can plant onion plants. For more info on the moon phase planting I'd suggest that you buy that book that's linked in the description and run with that.

I knew I was putting off planting my onions for a reason. I needed to see your technique first. 😊 Question: Dixondale recommends planting only an inch deep so they bulb nicely when it’s time. You went deeper than I have in the past. Do you do anything to them when they begin to bulb or do they do ok on their own?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork

3 ай бұрын

They do fine on their own! Maybe if you have really hard packed soil you may want to plant a little shallower but I've never had any issues since with no-till my soil is nice and light.

Hello Luke. On this presentation I did not see the list of ingredients that your dad added to the onions. It took about 5 times of playing back to write down all that your dad listed. Maybe you can add on the screen the list and amount use, as you have done in other videos, if not list it in your description where we can copy it. TY

I wouldn't, there's better things to use as mulch if that is what your trying to do. Clean hay as in absolutely no herbicide used in growing it or old straw that's been left out in the weather for a couple yrs so weed seeds have germinated and won't be a nightmare for you.

Could you please give me the recipe for the onion fertilizer?

I was wondering if you have a video on radishes. For the last several years, I’ve been growing radishes and they have not bulbed. I know it’s not planting depth, so I was wondering if it was a lack of a certain amendment.

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Every year I use organic compost and bone meal in my raised beds; sprinkling it over the top and working it in slightly. I use seed starter to start the seeds. The soil is loose and friable, and has been amended for many years of gardening. The radishes I've been trying to grow are French Breakfast. It's only in the last 5 years or so that I've had a problem.

I would try putting either kelp,greesand, or sulfate of potash on the beds. Radishes are a root crop and need potassium for root size,I'd probably give them the kelp and SOP together as the sop is faster acting and the kelp is slower but also brings many additional benefits with it. Blessings!
