Brilliant stuff
Your instructions are the best anywhere! Thanks. Been growing maters for years but I still learned from you!
With a thick mulch, you would water tomatoes heavily once a week… what about cukes, how would you water them? Btw, I subscribed; I'm growing in pots now in addition to raised beds. There's just so much to grow! Thanks.
Again well explained. I got a number of seeds of terminate tomatoes from India, called S-22 variety and grew them immediately outside end of March already and all grew well. Some I kept also in pots, lack of space and the are showing blossoms now. Do you know more about this variety and name?
Hi, how big should the container be to grow tomatoes please. I heard that if the container is too small, it won't fruit. Thanks.
Once you move to the 4" pots, do you keep a constant level of water in the base or do you let them cycle with a regular watering based on when the surface dries out?
Hi I don’t know we’re I can ask you a lot of questions about everything I’m growing I seam to be able to grow most things but I don’t no how to trim tomato or cucumber plants + iv got massive tall strawberrie plants I can’t get any flowers on anything plus my cabbages are also tall not filling out 🙁
Love your recipes for potting and seedling soil. Where can you acquire the additions to soil? Is there an email site or will a Nursery have these items? I have seen almost all of your videos and still need to view your “Beginning your raised garden, no till method “. We are ready to finally begin our Raised garden, no-till. Do you have suggestions for wood to use? I wouldn’t think treated wood is advised. I don’t see pine working. The organic, no till method is logical and efficient way to garden. I finally see a way to garden without hurting myself further. We really enjoy your videos and are anxious to begin this spring. We are also looking for a cost efficient way to begin at the very beginning. Even your composting method is not time consuming and doesn’t require turning the compost. How do you limit critter invasion? I am not on Facebook. Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you,

How to maintain it during winter!
Nice vid, really enjoyed it
I've started some dwarf and micro dwarf varieties indoors, one of my experiments for 2021 growing. Some I'm leaving indoors under grow lights and some will go outside when it warms up enough.
Merci b
I love your tutorials. I’ve had great success following them! Tomato question: You don’t mention feeding the plants. Do I need to be adding fertilizer throughout the summer?
Please do videos on how to get seeds from fruits and veggies and how to grow these seeds afterwards
What about fertilizers? Havent seen ingo in this video in particular
After a thin layer of mulch, do we not need to water the plant daily? Current temp is 70-75 Fahrenheit
Have you ever used the paper towel method to hurry the germination up
Thanks
Another great video – and thank you sooooo much for not suggesting to add eggshells below the roots!!
I am 74 yrs old and I still learned something special from this vid. Been gardening since in my teens and thought I knew all about potting plants but the soil reminded me of carrot cake, don't know why but it it is that consistency almost. I see the list of mixtures but I hope it is not too expensive, I have lots of time and I garden extensively. Good luck to all u gardeners and future gardeners out there and don't think u know it all. Always catch the new ways and you will have the most tasty veggies out there.
You don't talk about when to plant at all why is that
Every try starting them in sponges?
Cut sponges (new) into cubes.
Place seed(s) onto the cubes.
Place cubes into a tray that can hold some water.
MUCH easier to transplant them.
If you want to grow them a bit before transplanting, then use some compost tea in that tray.
From my experience, planting shallow gives earlier but less tomatoes. Deeper gives later tomatoes and more of them.
About the newspaper – you can actually use a paper towel.
Mixing in some compost into the soil helps too.
I use Soil Moist to provide more even moisture and an inverted magnum glass wine bottle shoved in the soil.
Wine bottle is fully automatic.
I AM HAPPY TO SAY,YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.YOU DIDN'T TALK ABOUT YOURSELVES WHICH I REALLY APRECIATE.SOME TOMATO GROWERS THINK THERE PRIVATE LIFES AND ANY BULLSHIT IS IMPORTANT.ONE GIANT EGO TRIP.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION.THIS IS FROM A 74 YEAR OLD GERMAN WHO LIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
I tried both methods of planting tomatoes but the first one I pulled out the seeds and just put them in the dirt I don't know if it will grow that way so I took a Slice and planted UT pushed the soil over the top of it tight and watered it now we just wait I guess.
