The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
Description:
**Gardening resources for beginning gardeners.** I’m Jill and I have a garden in the southern part of the United States. As a beginning gardener just a few years ago, I found it difficult to find the most basic information for beginning gardeners. As I’ve grown in knowledge and experience from my 2500 square foot garden, I provide quick how-to videos for gardeners just beginning their exciting gardening adventure.

I’m a lazy composter, but homemade compost is still a critical ingredient in my organic garden. In 2021, I stayed more hands-off than usual, though, not turning the piles once in 7+ months. Here are the results (and hope if you’re a lazy composter, too).
