The Garden Nerd! Have you always wanted to garden but don't know how? How do you plant and grow tomatoes? How do you grow fruit trees? Can you grow mangoes in your own backyard? What about growing tropical trees? If these are your questions then this how to gardening channel is your answer. I teach normal, everyday people how to grow plants, vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, tropical plants and all things green.
You name it, I've grown it- Mulberry, banana, mango, loquat, peach, apricot, orange, lemon, lime, kumquat, strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers (even the Carolina Reaper!) cauliflower, broccoli and everything else! It doesn't have to be technical and hard to grow a garden. It's fun and easy and can all be grown by the average person in your own backyard. I live in sunny Mesa, Arizona and love to find ways to make shade, grow delicious food and make my house feel like a tropical paradise in the middle of the desert.
Start growing things and heal the earth and your soul!
Came here because I just wrote a poem entitled "Vetiver" primarily because I like the sound of the word. Now, that I'm actually educated a bit, I feel way better about sharing it. Preeesh. Keep rocking! Nerd! 🤓 🌱
🧐🧐🧐CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BAMBOO is not a hideous uncontrollable monster. It is a beautiful plant that enhances your home green foliage. It is green all year round. BUT IT NEEDS TENDER LOVING CARE. It grows and spreads if not controlled. If it was a CASH CROP you would be rich within 4 years. If you could splice its strong cellular growth traits with CORN or SUGARCANE they would be virtually indestructible cash crops. They would find water no matter where you put it. All you would need to do is harvest the money.
Thank you so much for sharing your belief in grass! I live in California high desert, you convinced me to go forward with grass for my yard. The gravels covers 30% of the area, with afternoon sun, it makes the front unbearable hot, even the nearby tree is stressed out.
If the medjool date tree you bought was grown from a medjool date pit instead of propagated by roots then you have been ripped off according to 1 RU-vid video!
Recently bought a bunch of 5 to 6 footers how long did you wait before removing the stick that holds them upright? How long until they stand on their own without any support?
Keeping the stick wont do much damage if any. I would wait 6 months or so and then it should be able to stand up on its own. You can prune it heavily as well to help with stronger branches.
Can a banana tree survive if planted near an oak tree with big roots and some bushes taking up roots too? I have an overgrown ice cream banana patch-and a picket fence that I’d love to move a bunch of pups against to make a wall of bananas, but it’s under an oak tree taking lots from the ground. I’m not all that concerned about them producing bananas, I just want to know if that’ll work, if they’ll establish and grow ok so I get a wall of lush banana leaves.
You have planted mango, now do plantation of moringa drumstick plant, it very slim plant. Plant two tree, one leaves and one for drumstick. Every year you prune one tree ,the new tender leaves are very fragments if add to soups or curry. If you didn't prune, you will get drumstick, very rich in calcium. You scoops the flash and add it soups. You can dry it and keep for adding in soups. Either you boil and use only flesh or you remove skin and add to soups. You eat throw the garbage. Flesh is very delicious. This plant like hot and rainy season. It doesn't like winter. You use it food security during flooding or hot summer. You will get drumstick during summer. Jay bharat.
a few of my fruit trees in my back yard are surrounded by rock. I didn't know any better when I planted them, the rock was already there. but I can tell they have had a hard time with the summer heat. would simply using the worm castings and tea be enough to make them happy or should I make a point to replace the rock with something else? I would just plant grass around them, but I don't have sprinklers to that area. Also, on the worm castings topic, you mentioned putting the worm castings in will naturally help to get some worms. but do you recommend simply buying the worms from the az worm farm as well? I'm out in San Tan by the way, pretty sure there aren't any worms in my yard right now. when we originally bought the house the yard was 100% rock with a few bushes. I replaces most of the rock (accept the side yard with the trees I mentioned.) with grass, micro clover and trees.
Rock is bad, I would remove it. Adding worm castings will always help, but the reason your plants struggle is because of the heat that rocks put off. You can buy worms from them as well, but the worm castings should have plenty of eggs which will give you worms soon enough. Once you get a few going, they'll spread relatively fast.
#6 ... Timber/Firewood! I have 5 mulberry trees in my land, one was a bit over 10m/30ft tall and had to go because it was really close to the neighbours house. So now I have a bunch of 2" boards seasoning and planning to build a table with them, and lots and lots of firewood. The rest of the trees I've been coppicing them at about 4m/12ft and every 2 years I have plenty of fuel for my stove. Adding up the wood of my black locust tress which is way harder (but torny) im pretty much self sufficient in fuel. #7 animal feed! Chicks love to feed on the fruit you don't pick up, and I believe it distracts birds from my other trees, you can tell because of the black poop everywhere. And goats munch on the leaves they can reach and the trees couldn't care less, so it's almost infinite food factory. Literally a bunch of sticks turned into the backbone of a permaculture project in one acre land.
Thanks for this video! I just bought a mango tree but have limited space for where to plant it. The best location is already occupied by a Dwarf Tangelo tree. Is it a bad idea to plant it about 2 1/2 - 3 feet away from that tree? Hoping to avoid having to relocate the citrus tree if I don't need to. Thanks!
I can't say I'm sorry. You got a nice treat. The problem is, you've got it too close to the building. You're gonna have to move it, baby. You're gonna have to move it and if I were you. This is what I suggest you do. And if you could sit real quick, cut the dog go tree up, cut it, cut it down all the way down to the roofs and reboot the roots. Take the tree cutter and sell the bark. Sell those pieces. You got there. I'm put a better yet put them in. You know those mixes to help grow roots. You got the tree. Cut it all over to cut it up to pieces and put it in there's sell it sell for a dollar or 2 piece. You can have at least $2000 worth right there. The same thing for all the libs and stems are on that tree. Also, make sure you take at least 4 of the small pieces that you grow through new rooms on it and plan it away from your house a minimum. I repeat a minimum of 20 feet. Anything else closer is too close? Cause that tree grows too fast. I don't know what you used to treat for maybe you could tell the people what the tree is for that is a super vitamin tree. It has all the nourishment divided by the. It's got everything that vitamin tree is better than anything. You get off the street but the only vitamin don't have. It is vitamin D so I get. This is my advice. Cut the thick up and sell it. People will probably that believe it like I said cut it up. Definitely root hobo particles and sell the thing for a dollar peak splitting. That is the super vitamin tree. It will grow and blue. That year is the fastest one I know. But I don't think I think only cuts might be faster. It cut zoo is not a tree cut zoo to survive. That's a tree that are growing 3 feet. Once it gets past the first foot and I've talked too much already. If you want to save me a piece. My address is 2690 fit's Hicks. Marify, but there's spelled, BUT NAR road Southwest Atlanta. Georgia zip code 30331. Yeah, send me a piece, just send it to mark Thomas.Send me 2 pieces, thank you.I just saw it for dolphins.You make butterfly cut down the tree eh you have a new piece proper to girl cause I'm overused by the separate my property.My name is property bye bye
people forget the east coast of the US was covered with bamboo before colonial settlers. bamboo isn't invasive, settlers cleared bamboo to create farms.
Watching this in 2024. Just found your video because now Im going ham over mango trees, and I finally have something of a backyard to plant them in. I actually have retainer wall all around the edge of my backyard and plan to plant it in the raised bed. Wish me luck.
I struck two node cittings beginning of winter in perlite in my bedroom window a month later they have kept their original cutting leaf and rooted and throwing new leaves. 💚🌱
What climate are you in to have it reach 15 feet by year 3??? And how do you say it's an easy grower? It's very difficult to get cuttings to root, and starting seeds is also very difficult. Can you offer any tips for getting seeds to sprout without the seeds going rotten in the soil before they sprout? I mean.. The seeds have to stay moist to some degree while waiting for them to sprout or they will dry out and die.. But when the seeds can take up to 90 days to sprout, I get them going moldy before anything happens! What am I doing wrong my friend? Oh and yes, infact, buying red mulberry seeds IS illegal as they are an endangered species!
