Speaking of "stealing nitrogen," would you consider doing a debunking video of those countertop composters? The ones that say they're fighting climate change but actually contribute to it because you're using energy to grind up your kitchen scraps and dry them out? Their output isn't really compost because it hasn't been broken down yet. If you use it straight in the garden, it's going to steal nitrogen the same way you said the woody material would, and none of the nutrients are available to your plants. These machines' manufacturers have sponsored so many other YouTube creators, I feel like people are getting hoodwinked by their misinformation.
Love my Epic 6 cell. First time using them and they are great!
Great hacks
For the basil. Couldn’t you theoretically try to separate some of the existing plants from the root ball? Save a few weeks…
I really enjoy these. Both where you affirm the hack, and maybe more so, destroy the hack as being utter nonsense! Thanks for all you are doing!
I would like to know if she did harvest a head of garlic also,
Love when you do these! Always so applicable!

I think it is aberrant to waste water and energy, growing grass that no one will be eating. If I had any hooved critters, I would be sure to supply them with lots of green grass. Rant over!
Such a satisifying video! Thanks Erik.
Transplanting after you start in water is dumb go hydroponic if you are obsessed with starting in water it's such a pet peeve
If you have a taller raised bed, would it need to be watered more often than a lower bed, all thing equal?
I still have green onions I grew from supermarket green onions over 5 years ago.
Can you by chance teach us how to grow chrysanthemums from seed for our own personal fall decor next year?? I’d greatly appreciate it. My wallet would too!
Im really sorry. maybe ive never noticed before…but im making a life change to become a better person, so im not associating with people that do drugs, commit crimes, or use tiktok. tiktok is controlled by the chinese communist government. you are dumb af if you use that site.
Ok, everyone makes growing basil look so easy. Unfortunately my plant at home is giving me trouble because it seems to try to die every time i put it out in the garden. idk what it doesn't like out there, but i have to keep bringing it back inside after a week or two. Does basil not like a lot of direct sun? It's in the same conditions as all of my other plants, and they are all living their best lives right now, but not the basil plant.
Thanks for the help. I love your work Kevin!
I do need to say I LOVE the Epic Cell Trays, one of the best gardening purchases I’ve ever made. My babies stay healthy for so much longer than they would in the conventional trays, gives me the extra time I need to get room for them in the garden. Roots incredibly robust and easy to remove without damaging.
When I've tried to propagate basil mine often rot from the top leaves down. Do you know why this is?
Excellent video Brother
Why not just separate the Basil plant from the potted start? Seems silly to not just divide the rooted basil already there?
You can also separate the little plants and put them right in the soil rather than rooting a plant. I have very little loss. Basil is a survivor.
That fork transplant technique is great. How did I not think of that?

This is absolutely ridiculous and a fuss to root your garlic break it up you don't need to take anything off of it stick it in the fridge for about 11 days you'll take it out and it'll be rooted when you take it out no fuss no muss.
Dude thanks for being so nice when keeping it real.
i never want to hear you say "finger in the hole up the bottom" PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU
We already get the good hacks from Kevin. I love the react content to terrible hacks.
