Nothing Beats An Epic Harvest. It feels good to know all that hard work finally paid off and we have reaped the rewards. But the work isn’t over. Our soils need our help to recover.
For crops like tomatoes and peppers and even peas where we simply pick the fruit leisurely and cut the plants down at the end of harvest, there’s not much soil recovery needed. But for a root crop like the garlic that was planted here, we need to take steps to protect our soils AFTER the harvest.
Today, I’ll show you 3 different ways to protect your soil so that it can continue to feed your plants, which can then continue to feed you!

I'm trying to get cover crops but little scary
This is a great video. I did not know really what to do with my soil. I just used to put it in a barrel until next season but you gave me ideas of how to use that soil in the 'off season'. Thank you!
Watch you not using blood.meal and bone as I did was that because your 60 days before frost season
Have you done a video on ie "what to do with all those tomatoes you grew"? thanks
Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine sleepfriendd.Online Brünette und eine andereh Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
I have planted peas direct after the huge garlic harvest thanks to you if i got something its ok if not then pea plant is going for root rot for worms and compost the foliage!
Thanks again Jeff for letting me see where I go wrong most year’s! I plead guilty of not protecting my soils after harvest. Getting towards the end of winter in a month or so, i know what I’ll be doing with my time. Sincere thanks for your channel mate.
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine sleepfriendd.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenni ich 4 wählen würde
what are your thoughts on wheat vs clover for a cover crop
good practical information- thanks.
It makes< sense, BTC and ETH is off helping to regulate, rather that pretend it won't ever happen. The big institutions getting in is the catalyst that will launch us into the stratosphere. Most people don't like change but after the change is made they grow used to it and it becomes a non issue usually because their fears never materialize. And benefits they were unaware with before turn out to be far more beneficial. Few if any rug pulls. The projects that initiated the process of regulation have not been ruined, they got involved in setting guidelines and helping the regulators understand the crypto space. I’d get involved more knowing that I have made over 16` btc from day-trade with Enoch Vance Crypto in few weeks.
Definitely be raking some diatomaceous earth in there if you live in the south. They have proven that it kills nematodes. Granite kills all nematodes but we have such a problem with the bad ones in the south. You just have to do what you have to do.
Hello! I absolutely LOVE seeing you do something that I have done (for 40 years!!) and believe in SO much……I call it "water in the hole" !!!! The only way to give our transplants the best start is for their roots to be met with a moist planting hole!!! NOT dry, hot dirt!! Even watering after that is not as good as "water in the hole" !!! Wonderful!! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!!
Another great video Jeff, I was wonder what brand of straw you use. The straw I purchase always has seeds so I'm constantly pulling weeds.
Hey Jeff, following a dutch gardner, I usually grow my peppers in groups of 3 plants bunched together, basically creating 1 big pepper bush out of 3 pepper plants. Do you mind giving this a try next year as kind of an experiment, single plant vs groups of 3?
In the UK here, peppers been out in green house now for 4 weeks I believe,and it's been high 20's c here but they only about as big as yours and no flowers on them.
I'm guessing they flower and the peppers come from the flower? Never grown them before,never done anything before this year lol all new and doing ok ISH for the fack we had no rain for over 6weeks…. And only about 50L of water since Christmas day!!!! Not usual UK weather here for us at all.
Do the flowers need hand pollination or not possible? As there isn't a great deal and definitely not in the green house,so easier to do by hand.
Perfect timing. I'm harvesting my garlic today 🙂
Jeff, I sincerely appreciate your videos. I have no idea where you find the time! Would you do another vid on compost? I have a dual-canister system. It's not doing anything to decompose the scraps. I don't know if I need to continually add water (as it seems too dry) or if I'm expecting too much too soon. THANKS!
I’m glad I’m not the only one still planting peppers. Granted our zone allows peppers year round, but still lol
I'm shocked! I figured your main point was going to be that you need to feed your soil after such a long season. Instead you didn't even mention it much(if at all). TBH I only watched it once though.
Once again I’m late. 2000+ viewers ahead of me. Glad I’m not at the supermarket. Another great video. More please!
What is that mulch?
