Hey JOHN Whats Growing On Man!!!!!!!!!!
@crewlla Noooo! I didn’t mean the flowers! Potatoplants are notorious for being poisonous, just like tomatoplants! I meant potatoes are delicious! Don’t eat the plant!
@Illchangeitlater wow I didnt know you could eat the flowers off of a potato plant. thanks. can you eat the leaves and the stem?
@crewlla And they taste good too
@okraw Thanks, I checked FISHER’S CREEK RD out, however they are far away and costs a tonne.
Instead i tried $4.50 30 kg bag of Crusher’s Dust and soaked the Blue Metal stones and Scoria Lava rocks in water and poured in on everything – tho the pH is around 9 – tested on some flower seeds – surprisingly they sprouted quickly – and its winter now.Think I’ll experiement with what I’ve got since seems to be working fine. Specially the Fava Beans are happy and sturdily sprouting for Falafels.
Hi John what do you think about using sea salt and lye mixture diluted with water as another ‘mineral fertiliser’. I heard some people have good results using sea water.
In canada we grow potatoes at home cause they grow well here. I have two 12x4x4 raised beds with all red potatoes, blue potatoes, white, red, and yukon. Potatoes is one of my favorite things to grow. there flowers are so pretty.
i love how prisoners and the homeless eat better than I do….man I really gotta grow more
Please look for other wide-spectrum rock dusts such as the one at:
fcrd*com.au
This is wonderful work they’re doing here. Thanks for sharing. John, do you think that if I cannot get Azomite in Australia that soaking Scoria volcanic rocks and small blue metal stones in a bucket will leach the dust out into the water and it will as effective as the Azomite rockdust from UTAH? Have you tried the rockdust on blueberries? RD has high pH and blueberries love low pH (acidic soil). Will the RD hurt blueberry?
John dont be so hard on row crops. They are popular for a reason. They require less water, less fertility and are easier to cultivate for the novice. They don’t produce as much as intensive raised beds but They can be much more managable for us part timers. Great vid!
I want some of those zuchinni and Asian pears. Can you send me some? Those are very delicious.
@growingyourgreens Hmm–I looked at Friedman’s and they didn’t have it–just the 2×4, which is too small for hands (as you know). But I will try Martin Ranch–thank you!
Friedman brothers. Also martin ranch supply in Rohnert Park
Question: Where in Sonoma County do they sell that hog wire fencing? I have looked, but no luck. I heard there was a place, but the guy could not remember the location… Thanks! –L
Excessive wood chips will cause a nitrogen deficiency in the soil in future years if you plant in the area where the chips were. Maybe use high nitrogen manures, chicken; or add high nitrogen synthetic fertilizer if you are not organic…
What is a good plant to start now, in the summer? My lettuce and broccoli is all finished. Will beans grow fast enough?
…or instead of potatoes, grow maca! It grows everywhere!
awesome vid and awesome place, I love the details you go into. Thanks.
@growingyourgreens very helpful thanks John.
Impressive organization. They appear to be to doing really good work. Thanks for sharing.
@Mrcoynz What you are describing is exactly the same thing you accomplish by building a raised bed that is 2 to 3 feet high…so same idea as building up you just built down.
Hey John, really appreciate your vids and check in weekly. Think you should do more product trials…I know you are all about your rock dust but maybe run a test garden or two to try out new products on the market each season. Even if you just run these “test” gardens out at a new plot in a community garden, would like to see some experimentation and it would help your viewers decide which products, techniques, etc. to implement in their own gardens.
I have a question? what if I screw some 2×6 together in a square, making my raised be only 6 inches high.. now what it i just dig down in the ground and replace the soil with compost and rock dust? making my raised bed only six inches high but having the good soil for about 2 to 3 feet. would this be a good idea?
How to educate people? First, people must want to be educated. People must be re-taught to realize how important and empowering it is to grow their own food, and control their destiny by choosing what they eat. I educate people with my videos. How do you educate people? If each person educates one person, that will bring us closer to educating all of us. The most nutrient dense foods to grow are the greens. Harvest wild edible weed seeds – plantain, lambsquarter, purslane, and grow more.
