Camera Guy will crack you up in this one as he helps me pull out some compost from one of my raised beds and replaces it with some new, organic soil that will be good for fall planting.

Hi CaliKim29, Since you've gone Instagram I've lost you. Anyway I wanted to tell you that yesterday the next door neighbour put his grass clippings on my property and I was wondering why was he doing that. Didn't say anything but this morning fresh new day I went out and looked at the heap and total mind change and thought What a wonderful gift – this is lovely mulch to put on my garden and for my worm farm! So when I get some fruit & veggies I will return the gift.
BROOKLYN NYC shirt ? Seriously, you're living in freak'n California !!
I don't get it ….
You need a small electric rototiller to mix your soil.
you can easily moist your superdry soil using regular concrete mixer and water hose. I made my own using old drill motor toy car wheels and a bucket it works great in small amounts and it not just moistures soil but even seperates from old roots.
p.s. Sorry about wrong spelling i am not english.
Inhaling the dust isn't good for your lungs. Wear a mask.
That was some really interestingly dry soil. How has it worked out for you so far?
Here are some links that may give you some new ways to try gardening and help make it easier.

Do you know anything on banana trees
I try to buy the garden fork but don't have here in malaysia and I don't know where to buy oversea?
So it may sound weird, but I had similar issues with a "Mels mix" Style of soil that was heavy on the peat moss. Same thing, I'd sit and water for what seemed like forever and could turn the soil 1/2" and it was dry underneath. Did some google-izing and found that a wetting agent would cut out the tilling/wetting thing. Believe it or not a small amount of dish soap was encouraged as it breaks the surface tension and the water resistance and voila, wet soil. Worked like a charm CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY
Never seen such dry soil before so I doubt many would have to deal with wetting it like you show here. The soil you removed looked much better then this pile of dust.
Keep up the good work. Love your videos. My daughter is a you tuber and she makes around $375 a month with her videos. Check them out. The17pink
Hi Kim, Yes… I'm a subscriber. I've watched a lot of your videos and I haven't heard you say anything about planting kohlrabi. In this video you asked for suggestions so here is one. It's a cross between cabbage and turnip and it has a great flavor. Also, it rakes very little space to grow them so they can be planted between larger plants. Let me know if you already grow them. I have grown some awesome gardens and although I've learned some things from you… I might have a tip or two for you. If your interested *~
Didn't really get a good look at the soil as you were removing it but could it be that there were too many wood chips/too much wood mulch IN the soil. If so, this could have an adverse affect on production as rotted wood when incorporated into the soil (NOT when used as a top layer) can rob a lot of nitrogen from the soil while it is breaking down. I think it's great that you are producing some of your own food and inspiring others to do so and live a healthier life, thanks to the both of you. Hello from zone 2a.
I love watching your videos, I learn so much! I have Roku, so am able to watch it on my TV of a morning! Thank you and Camera Guy for taking the time to do these videos
Yes. You can plant radishes and potatoes! You did not have to do all that. All you had to do is get vermicompost and build the soil to the level you need. Two buckets/30 LB would have done the job! Plus vermicompost retains moisture and give growth hormones to your plants. I hope that is an idea you try out next time. This looks like waaaaayyyy too much work! I will pass on that idea! But the video was very useful ! Thank you so much!
Here is another idea! Only grow what you eat the most!
I have ? Kim.. what do you do with the old compost that you grow with. Can you mix it with new compost or just add fertilizer..
that was a job for the steel rake not a pitch fork…
Hi CaliKim! I absolutely LOVE your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share the information you have. I have a couple of questions:
I'm located in AR, which means BIG weed problems. Thus, I have raised beds to avoid this. But, even with a raised bed, weeds always find a way to creep in. What are your thoughts on first placing cardboard at the base of the bed (like you did in another video), then add a layer of native soil (which is mostly clay), then a thin layer of wood chips (not mixed in so they don't rob Nitrogen)…then fill the rest up with compost?
By doing this, I'm trying to target two main problems: (1) weeds, and (2) over drainage. I want the beds to hold moisture, like you stated in your video, and I'm hoping that these extra steps will aid in that, in addition to the horrific weed problem we have here in AR. Curious what your thoughts are and any suggestions you may have.
Thank you!
Is there an update on this project?
The guy looks more like from the movie. Nice set of hot sunglasses and ready to do funky things. There you go… camera guy. Keep digging and you never know, THEY might dig into something intriguing….
