    Your channel came up on my feed. You’re not the only content creator in SA. Many of us are around, and have been growing for decades. We don’t usually pinpoint our city location. Very nice garden. Thank you for sharing your journey. Keep cool. Keep growing.😊🫘🌱

    That’s the way to do it. If you have a lot of time you can also drop tons of wood chips and mix with coffee grounds. In a few years you’ll have a thick layer of top soil.

    I love your round bed! I have extreme dry heat in summer. I tried planting potatoes in part shade and they did not do well. When I planted them in full sun they did much better. This surprised me since our heat gets up to 115°. I start everything as soon as the danger of frost has passed.

    An, you the man bro. You’ve always been an inspiration. I too am a compost nerd. I picked it up on my time in Oregon. Now my compost is a year to year endeavor in Las Vegas. I’m such a nerd that I moved my compost from house to house in Las Vegas. I use red worms in my compost and they proliferate and break down the new organics I constantly add. You’re brilliant brother.
