  1. After you amend beds that won't be planted for any fall/winter harvests, but just getting ready for next season. Should you cover the beds to keep junk out of them or just leave them exposed?

  2. Luke how much does this cost you per bed???. 1. I cannot buy anything with an NPK of 5-10-4 in Australia. Most supplements would be 8-2-1 or similar. I get so jealous watching American gardeners who can toddle down the street and buy all these supplements they swear by. I can't find kelp meal, Azomite etc. I rely on goat manure and compost Muffy from Oz

  3. Alot of concern about costs in gardening in this video. I imagine bc many gardeners have to multiply these numbers by many beds. What did ppl ammend soil with before these recommendations? Like take a step back and ask how they did it. Ok im putting the bong down now. But really. Do we need to buy all these ammendments?

  4. What is my bed already has flight because I didn’t know and then the soil and now I want to start? Do I have to do something different than what described in the video or will it just be nice to take care of itself with the treatment?

  5. You mentioned growing radishes. I grew some English Breakfast and Sparklers. After that I tried to grow some Turnips. Why am I getting worms in my Turnips? Is there something that causes Radish and Turnip worms and how do I prevent them?

  6. For my grow pots each year I have used this mix: 2 gl. worm castings, 2 gl. coco coir, 3 cps. Azomite, and 1.5 gl. Vermiculite. I simply use compost the next year to amend the soil mixing around 50/50 compost to previous years soil.

  7. My soil here in central PA is insanely rocky. Any digging at all is a major chore, and the rock-to-soil rate is probably at least 2-1. So, with all of those rocks, I'm wondering if I really need to add rock dust; it seems like there should be plenty of minerals in there already.

  8. Luke, I am the lead of our community's Organic garden here in Brevard,NC. We have 60 gardeners I am in constant communication with and use your videos full of advice as a great addition to my email newsletters. Thank You so much for doing what you do. You truly are a master and I can't tell you how many times I send one of your emails to inquiring gardeners. You make my job manageable, you've always got the perfect video to explain an answer to the many questions I receive. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

  9. Using salad as an example was a poor choice. Salad is more a source of roughage rather than nutrients. Eating fruits and vegetables would be a far better example.
