We had a consultation with Luke last week. He was great! Extremely helpful, polite, never seemed rushed, seemed very interested helping our garden problems and answering questions. Definitely worth the money. We were having several of the issues he mentioned on this video. Added bloodmeal and sand, perlite to loosen the soil. I am keeping my fingers crossed this helps.

Quick question for you - Several types of plants such as beans and peppers will stop growing taller if you clip off the top of the plant once it has reached the top of the support structure. Will tomatoes do the same thing - stop growing taller if you clip them and put their growth into the lower portion of the plant?

Hey Luke !! LOVE your channel and now if you have what I need I only buy your seeds. The viability rate is astonishing, even compared to the old standbys. Your videos are very informative but I have a request. Could you throw in more pictures of YOUR garden in your tutorials ? Your garden is SOOO inspiring and when you do show your progress I find that I am on fire to use what you teach us !! Keep up the good work. My garden has gone from crappy to not to bad in the 3 years that i have been watching you ! My wife used to ask me why we were wasting money on gardening, now she is proud and we share our produce with friends and family ! Most of the family are gardeners and they are tickled pink with what produce we share.

My dad's tomato plants stopped growing and started yellowing. I found out he only used compost/manure mix as his fertilizer and there was very LOW nitrogen in that. I added some osmocote, which I have used for years in my garden, and the 14-14-14 has started to bring them back. Fairly sure it was the lack of nitrogen, as you said. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

@jessicajackson9164 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative and I do realize that I am impatient. But listening to you I realize there are so many factors that have to be ideal for the plant to grow

@roberttillotson6861 3 года назад

One thing we do is start from seed indoor, move to greenhouse outdoors (50 inside night setting) then outdoors in day (60-70). This acclimation gets them able to move into ground on each plant type allowance. We add slow release fertilizer into soil, feed fish emulsion once a month, and boogie brew tea once a week. Our pepper plants use NFTG once a week. Lastly, drip lines are separated by flowers and veggies. Key is separating days of watering so it can dry out slightly. I personally look at what spacing and time of water does leading to the week amount, in our case it’s a gallon of water total. Doing this optimizes growth and health for us.

@Gkrissy 3 года назад

Learned why my garden in southwest Florida last year didn’t produce anything until it was time for us to move to the Midwest in October. It was too hot so good to know and I plan on putting some fish emulsion spray on my garden now. Gonna try applying it with a spray bottle so I don’t over do it with my clay soil that can be really wet.

@searose6192 3 года назад

I am not a novice gardener, and I (along with several other gardeners in my area and a local nursery) have been frustrated by the absolute snail-like pace of seedling growth and germination this year. I know it's the weather, which has been alternating between little runs of days in the 80s followed by week in the 40s, then back to the 80s for a couple days, then back to the 40s. Super frustrating. My flower garden is usually about 6 inches high at this point, but this year the biggest of my seedlings are 2 inches high. 😞 its just one of those years.

My purslane I got from you never germinated, nor did my French breakfast radishes. my strawberry spinach sprouted over winter in a grow room and has been in the greenhouse for two months and is still a tiny sprout. I ordered some more, I’ll keep trying. I don’t know if it was the seeds or me. It’s all there on my channel. I’m a beginner gardener so I’m very flawed, five years ago I googled “plants you cannot kill” and that’s where it all started. Thanks for your videos,I learn a lot from you.

There is 'Knowledge for Living' in growing a Garden... Gardening teaches and cultivates patience, humility, planning, empathy, discovery, study, wonderment and soulful happiness; Bonus point: you don't need to pay for a gym membership to get the exercise that's good for you from working in the garden. After you begin learning the lessons that your garden has in store for you, you begin to Recognize how these benefits can be transferred and applied throughout your Life. Whilst the "learning' aspect Never Ends, Your own personal and spiritual enlightenment grows with each season, as IS the perpetual cycle on Earth. Embrace Dirty fingernails; sweet soil dabblings to all whom play with it! May your good bacteria flourish and help keep your garden bountiful. Humans were made for this... TY, Luke.

I just found your channel on the home page. Great advice but i wasn't expecting just a sit down/ just talking video. Some visuals either on screen to illustrate or going to a plant to talk about it and maybe add chapters to explain each segment just to break up the video into manageable pieces to make the points more digestible and highlight the justification of including them in the video. I'm not hating. I just found that it was a lot of information to take in and i feel that i would be more engaged in what you were saying if it was broken down a bit. I have just subscribed as i am sure i can pick up some other great gardening tips!

After a soil test, I realized my soil was way too alkaline and was probably interfering with the uptake of nutrients. I think it is because the compost I bought in bulk was mostly from wood chips. My soil was also strangely high in potassium and phosphorus.
