The garden chanel
I love your videos and have been contemplating starting my own food forest
I was curious if you add earth worms in or do they come on their own
Your dogs are adorable by tge way
I love your videos! I am also in NJ. I manage a pantry garden in South Jersey and grow mostly in raised beds. I am going to start mulching the beds now that they are planted with wood mulch. Do you think that is a good idea or will it only work in the tree system you have created?
James, I have a question about after you cut a tree down. If you want to replant with another little tree in the same or near space as the one you took out, should you dig up the roots of the old tree or leave them to decay. Would the decaying roots adversely affect the new tree planted?
Is there a recommendation for purchasing the good plants?
good info. just all the hand waving is really distracting
James, YOU are the man !!! Another great informative, educational and motivational video !!!! Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Skip in Phoenix of the Sonoran Desert/Southwest US.
i'm from indonesia:)
thank you. Very informative!
I like watching you but I hate that you drag out your worddddddddd.
Hi. Question: why do you not direct sow everything? What are examples of why you don't? Thank uuuu so much for ur channel I can't stop watching!
It looks beautiful!
I like your hand gestures.i don't know why.lol
It's absolutely true what you say about the crack baby plants. The number of times I have bought seedlings from supermarkets (because I left it too late to sow my own or a late frost caught them) and end up thinking – what did I do wrong?
Definitely with the stability & diversity. I started with just a couple of apples and some blackcurrants, mainly because I 'thought' I didn't like a lot of other fruits I'd bought from supermarkets. It was only years later I bothered to start buying in other fruits like raspberries to discover they taste so much better home-grown. Blueberries are a world away from any you buy in the supermarket!
But to have that extra diversity, especially with our changing climate and the fluctuation in bee/pollinator populations, means there will always be something that thrives regardless.
Also, I am growing some new vegetables from other countries, in an effort to further diversify. I like Japanese Yams, which have to be grown in really deep pots, allowing their lovely foliage to grow up through tree branches. In summer, I plant out Yacons, which have good, long-lasting crunchy tubers that I use in stir fries in place of the rarely-sold water chestnuts (I harvested my Yacons last September and have the last one left in early February).
In recent years, I have seed-raised a number of native perennial plants worth using as food plants and have recently added Sea Kale to their number. That's a fantastic plant for looks, scented flowers, and, when blanched, for taste (although I am one of those who can eat it without the need for blanching it).
Great information…You have the best analogies "Crack Baby Plants". Keep them coming!
Motivational Speaker for Gardeners.. These videos are always so helpful.
How long does it take for a tree to recover if you cut all it's branches off ?
A lot of valuable information in one 10 minute video. James is a wealth of solid advice.
where do you get perennial seeds?
"They're not living. They're being kept alive." Spot on! Love tip #5 as well. Thanks much.
Hi I adjust accidentally found your video. You truly are an inspiration.. Light and love from Philippines 🙂
I am now mulching all my foundation plantings and the base of my trees with wood chips (I found a free source). This fall I'll start mulching my food garden with chips and I am beginning to integrate edibles with non edibles around my yard. Thanks for the inspiration. I had never heard of the books/gardeners you have referenced. I have some reading to do this winter!
James, do you grow potatoes or sweet potatoes? If so, can you do a video?
In terms of information, this is literally one of your best videos. This should be everyone's starter video if they are going to follow your channel or start gardening for the first time. Great stuff! Thanks so much!
Where do you order your bare root trees from? I am as well from Jersey, I’m right next to the Delaware Water Gap.
Thanks James for teaching me great things about planting, soil, patience, experience and learning the lesson of growing great plants in the environment one lives in. It is a fact i almost gave up when i failed. I love the thing about creating plants to become survivors; really sometimes neglecting them and allowing them to grow stronger; tough love so to speak. I've got to be a better grower to succeed, too! Thanks & God bless.
Please do a revision vid if you have any new info !
5:05 omg such small trees compared to the more recent videos! Your forrest speaks for itself
Yo bro u know ur plants know is global warming bc cars or putting steaks ECT in concrete pipes and dams live hover dam and also the grass clippings not going back leaves in grass get put in bags and brought else where and trees ECT not going back in soil mostly it's plants and water that cool earth and not doing chop and drop will make soil unfertile in like 5 years my point and oh yeah plumbing f up rain to these rivers ain't flowing right first thing to remove right let nature do it thing it would deff cool off that water turns to a mist bc full speed no dams mist all the banks in rain storms ECT
This is the most serene and understated I’ve ever seen James. Maybe it’s a side effect of the collared shirt?
