a master gardener told me to add nitrogen to woodchips by using fertilizer is that true?
Hi Mark,
Do you recommend inoculating cover crop seeds?
Hello,
Assume I'm starting from scratch in my conventional garden, want to make an area with wood chips and perennial grasses. When do you cover the grass area with wood chips? Do you add 4" wood ships after sowing seeds in the dirt, or wait until the grass is tall and then add the wood chips? If waiting until grass tall, seems the clover would never get tall enough to throw chips on top of them.
Thanks ahead
I have a clover and Kentucky bluegrass mix growing in the lawn around my 12×12 BTE bed. Is that sufficient for legumes or do I need to actually plant more within my garden itself?
With all the nutrients and nitrogen in comfrey, I'm surprised comfrey is not on the list. What do you say?
Top man! Im learning so much, awesome job
Thank you for the chart!
Will this work in the Caribbean. We only have wet and dry seasons. What will be the best why to go around this
I am trying to start pepper seeds in the the ground in the middle of lawn grass and white dutch clovers. Will the the grass and clovers take over and stunt the pepper seedlings or kill them? I just put in lemon, lime, orange, and peach trees, have native grass, white clovers, one tomato plant and want to add peppers directly
Paul, in one of his videos, said the first thing to plant in a garden are fruit trees.
I came across your videos about 10 days ago. I've been watching several every day since. Thank you for the effort you put in to sharing this wealth of information.
Thank you Mark. I live in Northern Ireland and watch all your videos with great interest. This is my first ever comment on any You Tube video.
I saw Paul's film soon after it was made and immediately added wood chips to my garden. It has improved ever since. Now with your help my understanding is growing about other things I need to do.
Thanks a lot.
I wish I had paid more attention to my father's advice when he got me to work with him in the garden when I was young. He's not here to ask any more. All the best to your boys and you. John
I came across your material yesterday, you are incredible thanks so much for your efforts and great information
I want to improve my soil using your system, problem is it's in a tropic, no fall leaves, no wood chips, what can use??
This is a great list.
Where in the list is sweet fern? It's the main cover in have on my lot and I have a strip 20ft by 900ft of it that's grown in with some 2-3 inch trees growing throughout. I was going to mulch all of it until I seen you videos, thanks for these they have help me to understand so much and better plan our garden! We are building our dream home this summer and you just made me realize that I have great soils already I just need to know what trees to much and add them back as wood chips!
Hi Mark, if you have sandy soil do you need to build up mounds before you put leaves or wood chips on top?
Could I get a link to mycorrhizae plant list?
Hi Mark…what about bindweed-our wood chips are covered in it! We are not at our farm in the spring, so by the time we get to our farm, it has overwhelmed the garden. I would appreciate your advice…I feel defeated by weeds
Mark thank you a million any chance of a date on your videos would be helpful sincerely noel new zealand
Why aren’t you correcting your soil compaction?
Your a good man all you have said in these last videos l have watched is all true l have been down this road for years, thanks for being kind to Paul, l know the Lord will bless you because of your meek and humble adatude ,,
Great video mark, you answered my question in another video to start my garden with 4 inches of leaves and clear a circle and plant snap peas around tomato plant. My question today is when do I start incorporating cover crops and a perennial living root in the ground?
Thank you for this series. It’s an extraordinary amount of info delivered in a concise manner.
I have just built a Hugelkultur bed over sandy soil. Any thoughts on how I should proceed with BTE vs FL?
The more I learn, the more dumb I become…
i realize now after adding leaves for many years-
it helps loosen up my clay soil. but it doesn't grow more soil!! i used winter rye years ago for green manure–will let the roots in the ground now -for aeration down belowcentral minnesota-zone4/3-will try sunflowers/rye raspberry/ for energizing some new garden plots=in 2020 laid cardboard down-plant potatoes-with deepleaf mulch to rid old sod-for new raspberry patch==forgot to throw rye in fall-oops-thankful for your ideas/trials/success//and/ failures to move onto next phase of gardening
tried kale for 2nd year now-
very hardy to frosts (4×8 raised bed) pest free, and nice to pass along extras-vates is my favorite over red russian/lacinto-dinasauer. looking for more recipes-salad/soups
tomatoes= big mama for salsa (roma type)hybrid-
fun to experiment–hybrid don't come back to original like heirlooms
used black plastic under my tomatoes for long time-
will try knock down rye to plant tomatoes into this yearlaid old denim jeans down by tomatoes to lower the heat–no pests or BLIGHT bothered there==nrcs of ndak/n carolina has good crop cover info also!! also living web site/ and maritime gardener nova scotia==different twists to gardening things
love the 8 raised beds 4x8ft
thanks again
