Thanks a lot
it's amazing to see such passion for food self sustanance and simply gardening in general. not to mention it's great that this attitude is being shared from generation to generation.
Awesome comment, passing on what we learn is key for 👍 sure.
My worry is I have citrus here in the uk, but need to protect them in winter, one of the 3 died this winter- I just don’t know how best to do it. Can you help at all? I have them in containers atm as my hope was to bring them in the house over winter if I needed to- obviously I should have! As one died. Should I keep them in containers and bring them in or do I plant them in the front garden and try get better protection for them, that’s the first thing.
Not sure how cold it is, best to bring it inside and plant out when the soil is warm
@@martysgarden well it’s summer here atm at 25c Lows of 15c But winter can be lows of 0c and some nights below that
"Hey Dad?" :-D That´s great, you both seem very likeable! I want more, I subscribed. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub, welcome to our channel from Australia
It's temu Steve Irwin
Temu is everywhere hehe
@@martysgarden thanks for not taking the playfully joke as an insult. That earned you a subscriber.
Just spent two weeks on the east coast, I miss you guys (Aussies) so much.
Hope you’re doing well?
@@martysgarden all the way here in South Africa, we are coping but we were much happier in your beautiful country. All the best to you! love your channel, you've got infectious enthusiasm and great content!
Nice video Marty. Have you ever tried to do a multi-grafted citrus with lemon, lime, and mandarin? I did a lemon and lime at my old place but couldn't move it to the new one. I've got a mature grafted lemon that's a bit ugly, and I'd like to make a multi-tree by cutting it back and grafting to it. Cheers!
Haven’t done multi grafting since college when I studied horticulture
@@martysgarden Oh well, I guess I'll have to experiment myself. Cheers mate.
Thanks mate! Good on you!
Thank you too!
Subscribed immediately because your dad reminds me of Steve Ervin good work on that tree mate
I thought it was the temu Steve Irwin
I was just about to comment the same thing , definitely subscribing
I get that a lot actually, it’s a real compliment as he was a great person
Thanks so much
Great video. Wish you could've laid out bit more specifically just how much space is needed if we want to do the same.
Legend!!
Many 🙏 thanks
Is it possible to graft a fruit tree to any tree to tree root stock?
Has to be citrus stock
Nice video also good thing to mention. Those cardboard egg cartons get those wet and lay on top. Worms seem to love that too!
They do like the egg cartons yes
What a beautiful, productive garden you have there…
Thanks so much!
Marty thanks for the video i guess its important to monitor the grafting and make sure the Root stock doesn't become dominate again. I think I had this situation with a Glen mango I left unattended for a few months something happen to it died back over winter and now its flourished from a lower part of the young trunk so vigorous I think the Kensington or Root stock has taken over. to make the root stock visible for life do you think its important in the first few years to spray paint the graft or wrap a ribbon sometimes I'm blind as bat in the garden and cant judge what a graft looks like.
Be a great idea to put some coloured electrical tape around that area 👍. Suckers always have very green storks as well
We’ll explain Marty😀🧑🌾 Thank you Karin 🎬 Only question Marty Where is your Hat?😇
On the hook, 🍻
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
Excellent and easy to understand educational presentation, Marty. You're getting very, very good at this. And well done, Karin. Great photography.
Thank you kindly Dad
Every informative Marty. I have 8 lettuce stalks that have bolted. This lettuce is volunteers from last year. Good luck with your dream garden. Cute daughter, good helper.
Thanks a lot, have you seen our more recent content. We are now building that dream garden
Agree Marty all those bags of compost and from council are absolute rubbish.Years ago i could at least get some real cow manure now it is mixed with chu ks of raw woodchip and not much else
They just keep cutting corners and the product keeps getting worse. Taking control really is the only way these days
Good info and great video. Thanks
Thanks glad it was helpful!
Amazing!
Thanks!
Thank you for all the helpful tips mate! First time here and I already subscribed!
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the up coming content
.. poor worms in prison ..free ‘em ..Ur garden looks dead & barely existent .. guess Ur gardening worms .. incorporate scraps directly in soil have a biodiverse permaculture garden w HugelKulture mounds and mini micro cultures .. worms 🪱 create fabulous black soil when free ‘n plants thrive like crazy..
These are a special breed of compost worms, they are not earthworms that live in the soil. I do have those also in my permaculture garden
I thought earthworms only had 1 heart I mean they are really small
Pretty cool, yes?
✌️😎
Thank you Kari, good job. 👍❤️
You are so welcome, Karin said!
Hi Marty, I live in Perth, these bins are a great idea for worm farming in winter here, but what do you do with these compost bins full of worms in summer? Even in the shade we get around 40c nearly every day.
Great question. If they get hot they can go down deeper to the soil temperature which is more stable. But it would need the compost also below the ground for best results in the heat
Great vid! Is the liquid fertiliser best used on fruit and veggies or all plants?
All plants, great alrounder
Great explanation on worm farming bin Marty New Bucket🪣 next time at Bunnings 😊 The compost bins are doing good, but the Sub-pod doesn’t have the holes on bottom to promote the worms doing lateral movement to keep the nutrients around the plants rather than underneath where there’s nothing happening because of the sub-pod.Biologically speaking will move to complete bed, even under the sub-pod. Thank you Karin😇
Yer Subpod’s is closed now, Aussie gardener are considering bringing out a model. If they do I will recommend not bottom. Or a way for earthworms to come up freely
@@martysgarden easy to make smaller ones that don’t take up too much room up in the raised beds. Coles flower containers, especially the long ones they use to sell flowers are something you can use and drill the bigger holes like in sub pod drill some small holes what you don’t bury add a lid or a standard pot 200mm that will allow easy airflow and to put in scraps. Put 3 in each raised beds in the middle.

Dolomite Dynamite! eh, Marty?
Yep!
Thanks Marty, I just went outside and covered my horse manure x rubbish tip mulch composting now for 6 months its full of worms on the outside and 120F on the inside.
They move to the outside if it’s too hot, just be careful when turning
great video..great camera work karen..Inspiring!! Im getting my worm farm happening now, in between the horrendous winds in Illawarra NSW
Hi Mel
beautiful & Exciting!!
Very, thanks for watching!
Uh huh, you bought up an interesting topic! I learned the hard way that the juice coming into the worm catcher tray at the bottom is in fact leachate and not worm tea/fertilizer. However, I was always wondering if you could just run a bucket of water through the worm farm and collect the end result to use as fertilizer. And you showed us we can :) Cool bonus tip to run it through a few times too.
You’re very welcome. There are some worm liquid fertilizer companies that keep the worm drench system secret. They use huge vats of oxygenated water to pass through castings before bottling. The best companies allow the water to also pass over the worm skin to pick up even more microbes! It has to the pass through castings quickly to be considered a drench
@@martysgarden Throwing more even more wisdom our way, love it. Why aren't you selling your own worm tea btw? It's small enough to ship and I and many others would surely buy it :D
Your Worm wee bucket looks similar to mine, i call it getting the absolute most out of a bucket, no need to buy a new one until it falls apart completely.😊
Hehe yer my bucket in this video is in its last days for sure!
Marty, do you pot up all of the seedlings that sprout in the worm bin ?
From time to time if in season it’s a good way to acquire a few healthy plants
@@martysgarden that's how I get lots of my seedlings, mainly tomatoes but they also seem to just pop up in the gardens so I either leave them or move them or just compost them in place. I only asked because I noticed a lot of paw paw seeds in the breeding bin. Happy gardening everyone green love from Queensland 💚🌲🌴🙏
@@aaronhopkins6697 yer the papaya I do like to grab them when they come up in the castings. Well spotted! These are second generation seeds that I plan to plant this spring. They will germinate as soon as it’s warm enough. I will look for the best plants. Papaya for me is a vegetable and fruit source. Great plant in my opinion!
@@aaronhopkins6697 oh yer I am currently in Siargao Philippines surfing! 🏄
@@martysgarden have a wave for me, is that where your wife is from ? I'm looking it up right now, because your just teasing me now not fair as I'm sitting here in SE Queensland and the frost has just melted of my car. have an awesome holiday. 🤙🌊🏄
My father used an old refrigerator and took the doors off. He turned it on its back. We had more worms than we could sale.
So cool to repurpose!
totally love both of your channes love you marty
Many thanks, sending the love right back to you!
Where u bought this plant ?
In Australia on Facebook
We've been getting flooded here last year spring, this spring and last winter so we keep compost covered. Raw kitchen scraps and garden pruning hold water enough and brown leaves layers covered with tarp. Zone 6b USA.
Thanks for sharing, glad you found a way that works for your current weather. Happy gardening!🧑🌾
100% spot on advice green shade cloth but not black on the top layers during summer question .In your piles do you turn them with a fork occasionally ? I have to to mix in many KG of coffee grounds here in WA the worms go birko when done that way
At the start I turn more otherwise it gets too hot. But once it’s cool I just feed the top, which I showed in a recent video. Thanks a lot for sharing here, it’s really enjoyable hearing from others. Oh yer they go crazy on coffee grounds and it makes superb worm castings in my opinion
👌👍
