Today I take you through the garden and explain the ideology behind some of the companion planting I did, and the use of trap crops to deter unwanted bugs from choice crops. Some of the main trap crops I used were; mustard greens, collard greens, and radishes. I also used onions and garlic to help deter unwanted bugs, as well as flowers and any to help build a balance and diverse ecosystem

James it's looking amazing!!!
Thanks, and Thank you for taking the time to watch!
wow! that is amazing…i hope i get to be this fortunate to have a garden as prolific as yours someday.
how often do you water it?
Looks to me like what you really need is a beehive ๐ Start collecting honey ๐
Yeah, you said it!
Never, I companion plant. For example, I put something with a long tap root like radishes or turnips next to something with shallow roots like lettuce. The deep rooted plants like the radish help pull up water from deep and wick it off in areas that the shallow rooted plants can get too. Also, we set up and design everything around holding the most water when it rains.
Thanks, its easy, you can do it! Thats why I made this channel, to show how truly easy it really is. Just dont doubt yourself, or your garden and it will amaze you
Very thick! What planting zone are you located in?
It says 7A , but I think it might be 6B. One of those two
You have such a beautiful garden! I think I've learned about 4 things just watching a couple of your videos. Just Subscribed, keep up the good vids!
Thanks, it is called Borage. I plan on saving a lot of seed from the Borage, so maybe I can send you some seed in the winter for next growing season. Thanks for watching
Thank you. That's so awesome, that is exactly what this channel is about helping to inspire people and helping to spread the knowledge. Thanks for letting me know that you learned something also, that kind of appreciation is really awesome of you. I wish more people out there could have an open mind to things and learn from other people rather than competing so much.
Great job, well done. I love Borage too.
One amazing garden. The progression has been great to follow.
We are glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for following along Randy
