Grow your own food 💚 My goal with this channel is to share my passion for gardening and help people become self sufficient and self reliant thereby saving the world, one backyard at a time.
I'm a firm believer in what I like to call chaos gardening. It's all about embracing the natural symbiosis and organized chaos that exists in nature. By discovering the optimal microclimates for different plants, you can create thriving gardens and food, anywhere.
A little bit about me: I'm an independent botanical and mycological researcher with a passion for chemistry and physics. I'm also a certified educator in these subjects through the Arizona Department of Education. Additionally, I have a background in intellectual property law and pharmaceuticals, so I bring a unique perspective to my gardening.
My opinions are my own and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of anyone else.
So you put rooting hormone on your cuttings and stuck them in moistened potting soil. What else, did you put them indoors or out, in the sun or shade? Everybody, including you, seems to give only half the directions.
I made more detailed videos when this one got popular but for some reason this one gets all the views. I like to use aerogardens because I can control the water and sunlight and I have a link below for that method. The soil method also works but it’s more unpredictable. Sometimes I’ll have all of them be successful and sometimes they all fail. I think it comes down to how fresh the cuttings are.
For some reason, everyone is digging up their potatoes early. The plant needs to be dead brown in order to build a tough skin for storage. Nice potatoes, though! It's good to get the kiddos outside.
I overwintered kale and started harvesting seeds from 1 plant today. I will have about as many as are in that bag from 1 kale plant. Had a similar idea so that's how I ended up here xD I'm going to grow it everywhere. Even if you don't eat it, it is a great mulch producer. The leaves grow super fast. And then the seed pods are kind of like light peanut shells. Maybe you could compare to rice husks. Nice fluffy mulch material.
Not trying to bash you, but your vines are too weak to bear grapes. The vines need more time to build caliper size on the trunk and a vigorous root system. Patience is a vertue when it comes to grapevines. I only let young vines bear a few clusters if it looks like I am getting bull canes on my cordons. Most vines grow three years before bearing grapes in their 4th leaf. Yeah, I could let some have clusters in their 3rd leaf, but experience has taught me better. I've killed vines before. Your cardboard can stop water from reaching the roots. They also provide shelter for voles that eat grapevine roots. Voles destroy grapevines underground. You have a lot of carbon. You might want to consider balancing that with nitrogen. All the best wirh your garden!
They help with parasites as well. Most detox contains black walnut husks. I wanna say you can use it for ringworms and food poisoning. Learn to heal you and yours naturally because we see man made shit come with a price. I also believe they (the government) is destroying natural shit so we HAVE to use man made expensive medicines. Everything is going to cost soon because everyone wants a piece of something.
Not all types. It’s specifically good for any mushroom that likes lignin and cellulose specifically. Some mushrooms prefer other substrates and you’d have to substitute the “mulch pile” for the substrate for the mushroom or mycelia in question.
Here is a playlist of the videos I’ve made of my related experiments regarding mushroom cultivation. It’s by no means a comprehensive guide but its a decent resource. Thanks for the question!
They will grow for sure. You’ll probably have to harvest and keep stem cuttings indoors over the winter though. Winter will kill them since they are tropical
Get you some Rapunzel tomato seeds they are a vining tomato thinking about 15 ft tall and these four plants will produce at least three 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes For just another little experiment that you might Find Interesting you don't have enough tomatoes for yourself your family and pretty much all of your neighbors the Rapunzel tomato gets about 3/4 of an inch long and are a really great sweet tasting tomato great for salads , salsa , pico de gallo ,and eating them right off the vine
I actually bought two sugarcane cuttings off of eBay and planted them in a 2-gallon pot they already had roots when I receive them in the mail after 6 Weeks they where 6 Feet been Using Flora Duo hydroponic fertilizer because to me this outperforms all of your other fertilizer even though it's for hydroponic I use it when Watering the Cane sugarcane requires a lot of Water so now I have taken it out of the pot and planted it in yard today is July 2nd it has roughly 3 months left to grow here In Indiana this was just an experiment but I think it's actually going to get to the point where I can get cuttings off of it for next Year haven't really figured out how to overwinter it yet other than putting it in parts and bringing it inside a great little experiment that actually might Work Out great video I will subscribe to your channel keep it going good luck with your sugarcane
Maybe he stole money from his wife’s purse , and going to give her a stolen bouquet for forgiveness!🤣🙃So sorry for the Scum bag stealing your wife’s flowers!💐
Don’t kill these people! If you are lucky enough to have one around leave it alone. It will kill thousands of bugs you don’t want and some nasty spiders too, like widows. They are zero threat to humans.
It’s a Gambusia. It’s a lot smaller than it looks and they thrive in small areas and prefer stagnant water. It’s selected for that exact reason. Look up “gambusia affinis”.
I can make anything grow roots. The problem is if it doesn’t have a stem it won’t continue new growth. If you can make the leaf grow a new stem you might be alright. I’ve made a number of leaves grow leaves but they failed to grow roots and eventually died
is it possible to frememtat substrates in a big dish or drum then after 2weeks of fermentation pack them into plastic bags for spawn inoculation. is it possible in consideration of being contaminated by harmful pathogens.?
Yes! That’s how Stamets did it. I was just trying to simplify the process and not have to move anything and also I didn’t have a drum at the time. I realize now there’s a place a mile away that gives empty food grade metal drums away for $10 so I got a couple.
@@thechaosgardener if I want to boost my mycelium colonization within short time interval, at what stage and how should I add the beneficial microorganisms ?
@user-kb4mp8ux8f I do it outdoors in tap water from the hose. I don’t add beneficial microbes they are just natural bacteria around my food forest that find their way into the water
