Thank you just did your suggestion. Looking forward to the results. I posted pictures on my page, "Gospel Urban Farmer"
Thank you this is very helpful. I'm literally in the process of planting and had no idea and how to ensure germination would happen correctly. Now I know what to try. Thanks.
Hydration is key in the south when in the garden.
THIS is what I needed today. I’m planting my fall garden today! Thank you!!
Can I do the cardboard covering over smaller containers that I am sprouting indoors?
Funny! Good info Luke! Thanks!
Those are all great tips, thank you
In previous video's you had a link to seeds. Is it gone?
Second time trying lettuce mix in a 5 gallon bucket has been a success. I keep them near my house where they are in the Sun in the morning and then the house shades them from about 12pm onward.
Get to the point …
Yes I am pulling beets and turnips now to replant for a second harvest. Thanks for the tips! Onions are close to being pulled too. I kept onions going by cutting off the tops and any flowers. It worked! I bought small bags of straw at a local feed store (a whole bale of straw would have filled up the back of my SUV and weighs like 70 pounds). I installed 1/4 soaker hoses 12-inches deep in my 17-inch deep raised metal beds. I used blocks of coir from Home Depot. Throw it in a bucket and add water. I filled rows with that coir and had excellent germination rates in the spring. Guessing the coir covered with cardboard would also work!
Help! A little off topic but, I just learned about wintering over certain types of onions. My problem is that I can't find any for sale. It seems as though they are only sold from Jan-May. Where do people get their onions for fall planting?
You need to get your self a wide brimmed hat like landscapers, construction workers, pool maintenance worker, etc. wear…
I love your videos! However, 12 minutes is an awfully long video to say “put cardboard on seeds”.
What grows best in a cool, cloudy, rainy conditions please? I live in UK and we rarely have a good sunny weather.
Did you not put soil back over the seeds after putting seed down? Just water in and cover with cardboard?
I followed the same method 4 days ago and just took the cardboard off to see and noticed soil is still wet and its getting kinda moldy. Is it getting bad??
Hello Luke. Can you make some custom videos for pay ?
Thank you!! No more floating seeds!!!
Yes please, any videos sharing how you preserve or maybe favorite ways you prepare some of these. Recently discovered your channel, this summer. Amazing, helpful information! Thank you!
Luke this was a good one you always put a smile on our face… thinking about next growing season already 🙂
i've gotten a couple of bizarre tans while gardening. always got a watch, sandal, and tshirt tan. my skin is so pale, i can't even find a makeup foundation thats light enough, and i burn after a 20 minute convertible ride!
Geezus get to point, stop talking. Turned off 1 minute in.
How long should i wait to plant more seeds correctly? I sowed a bunch 2 weeks ago, only a couple sprouted. Should i sow more or wait? We did have quite the chill for at least one of those weeks
Going to try carrots and parsnps again. Going home from recouping medically for both me and my husband. Couldnt make transplants to take home so the first time in years going to direct sow everything. I have very healthy beds so hoping Roma tomatoes and smaller peppers will be the best way to go. Love your site.
From MI myself. Have watched and been recommended to watch. Funny, I told my guy that I was going to seed my garden tomorrow and he was concerned (103° today) I said, don't worry, I am covering with cardboard! HA! MI knowledge and intuition!
I tried this last year and it worked great!! Thank you Luke!
