  there is also the factor that there's different quality of worm castings (more pure, vs more compost heavy).

  Great video, but you stopped a little too soon. As the worms grow, what is your workflow to collect the worm castings for your garden soil?

  Great idea! I'll do it + a little rubber ball inside the tube. It'll be easier to see the water level since the tank is on the third.floor. Thanks again.

  For the pump what pressure did you set it at?

• 
  @jilltompson2306Ай бұрын

  Could be the quality of your worm castings. Try a different source. Or, several. To prevent the saturation problem use an equal amount of Perlite and/or horticultural sand with each soil. And, to ensure that the seeds are good - germinate all of them in a control soil before transplanting them into your experiment. Just thoughts. Well done for doing this video. And, thank you!

  Hello. I see that you are using the pump because of the timer Have you tried using zero pressure water timer? This type of timers could allow you to use gravity for watering the garden instead of pump.

  Can I just say that we have 2 apple trees. I moved back home to take care of my mom. That's where they are. So every year the apples would get eaten by the bird, They never grew properly and the tree almost looked like it was dying one time. So last year I decided to use warm castings. Let me tell you!!,the fruit it produced was amazing!! baked a pie ,, Trees looks amazing. That was proof right there for me.

  Looking good, Farmer Cowboy Tony! What will you do with all that sage? We have one huge plant that survives winters and we can't find enough uses for it. Dried some and made it into powder. I just ordered Agrothrive - a few youtubers I trust recommend it and are affiliates. Wondering if that or another liquid fertilizer might green your plants up despite lack of sun. I gave my strawberries liquid fish fertilizer yesterday and they look better already.

  I pull the stack out once every 4-6 weeks when it cools down to mix, re-aerate and moisten everything, especially if it has not been raining. Similar to how the pros do with their huge compast stacks, some mixing does speed up the process.

  Growing up, we had a root cellar and I remember seeds that germinated 5 years past their "packed for year" date. They had very high germination rates as well so if you store them in a cool dry place they should store well for several years. Probably not a lot of basements in Texas, though, so having something like a root cellar is probably uncommon there?

  I learned some good techniques here thanks. One other approach ..I had strong concrete, 4"x4" post rotten, and no jacks .. I used a long drill / arbor to drill some holes down into the old post, and was able to hoist it out. I then used the same concrete base for a replacement post. Now 20+ years on I need to replace the posts again. Might try your techniques. (Or might pay for workers to do it!)

  yeah I would read the comments Texas Organic before you dismiss something on 1 test. Too many variables to kick an option to the curb on 1 try. A worm does so much to our soil that most people aren't even aware of. So why would it be so hard to believe that at the very least, they could provide a slight improvement? It doesn't matter. I know the results based on my own years of use. either indoor or out. happy gardening.

  So a 12 volt battery will enable pump to send water through to irrigate your food growth. Might we enquire, what space does that cover? Our garden 36 x 54 feet, raised beds all 4 foot high re mobility issues. Would that system work around our food beds that high, or would we require a stronger voltage? 😊✌🏽

  @@TexasOrganicGardening we have a daisy chain of dozens of rainwater reclamation barrels, below ours & also our wheelchair bound neighbours' guttering where we also grow food for him in his space, plus weather control chemtrails in uk means there's little chance of running out lol, it rains lots here yet temps remain humid in summer on south coast.. plus we use unfluoridated bathwater with essential oils for flowers *used fluoride filter to incoming taps for about 4 decades now ~ changed twice, lasts every 10-15 years, due to change again soon* We feel initial question wasn't clear enough... So, our raised beds are at least 4 feet high... do you reckon that pump would push the water upwards that height, or might you recommend something with a tad more power? In appreciation and grace.
