i gotta question, who are all those people working on the beds?
Fantastic, John, I …
Fantastic, John, I can’t wait to start container gardening – in the spring. I have a terrace attached to the flat where I presently live, but zero sun in winter cause of big buildings close by. Gotta find a house and some land!
I will make a video …
I will make a video on harvests and storing..I thought about that tonight before I read your comment.. In a nutshell. I strive not to store anything. Nature is the storehouse. I leave things growing until I need them. From the moment something is harvested, nutrition goes down. so only pick what you need and use it at that time. tonight for dinner was tree collards yum. I grazed on lettuce for lunch. I eat LOTS of fruits and veggies in my diet, and Juicing and Blending uses lots of produce.
John-
How do you …
John-
How do you save/store your harvests? It sure looks to me like you get a massive amount out of your gardens. Other than extended storage abilities in plants (carrots,garlic) I am interested in how you store some of the more delicate greens like lettuce.
How did the fungus problem go with your bed?
You’ve made some …
You’ve made some excellent points! I’m in about the same zone as you and my beds are only up 16″ tall. Have 3 so far and only one has compost in it and the other two aren’t completely finished yet. I need a Sage here! lol. I think I’ll start seeds sooner than recommended since my plants are raised.
Keep up the vids, I learn so much from you.
Fantastic!
Fantastic!

@growingyourgreens That’s beautiful! ever though of freezing some produce for the winter ?
The percentages …
The percentages changes with the seasons. Some days in the summer are 100% home grown food. In summer, I average 80%. Now days about 40 % with it being winter time and things grow much slower. Waitng for more fruit trees to mature to increase the percentage.

Great video. Thank you again.
Have you considered any other homesteading projects, such as bees or chickens? I have been doing a lot of research on bees and it seems to be good for the garden, plus you get honey and other products from the hive.

We are in the desert. Raised beds ( & containers) work great for us. Our system is a little different from yours because we have much different conditions here. We keep our beds no wider than 4 feet, that way we can easily reach into the beds from either side. Your garden is great, your videos are great, thanks!

yeah, weeding is the reason I decided to make a raised bed. plus I learn best by watching people do stuff. I think your channel is great! I really need the exposure to your variety of gardening so It can become a reality in my yard! =^-^=
