In Episode 2 Kyle & his family add 4 yrds of compost & 100lbs. of rock dust minerals to the garden. He also discusses other soil amendments he uses in the garden.
Hi! I am so excited to see how you start a garden! I've never done it before, but as of this week I'm starting my very FIRST in-ground garden. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks man. How’s it going? Long time no see. We need to get together and make a video for this series all about compost tea. I’m planning on doing this for one of the episodes. Probably in July some time. It would be great if the master of compost tea was apart of it. Thanks man the garden loves Boogie goodies.
I watched your first video and instantly subscribed. I’m about to start my first garden soon, and you’ve given me hope and inspiration! Thank you so much for these episodes, I’m learning so much!
So im starting my own small garden for the first time, amd I stumbled upon you and man I gotta say this has been so beneficial for me!! I can't wait till I'm old enough to have huge gardens like you do. I'm only 18 rn but I have SO many plans for my future gardens hehe this is so fun!!
That's a lot of work. Glad you have some help, though. I'm in N.C. and have a nice piece of property I'm living on. My landlords said I could have a garden. But now they don't want me to use the water from the well, so I had to get creative and start saving rani water again. We had a lot of rain yesterday morning and my little rain barrel is full now.
Yes the garden can be a lot of work during the beginning of the growing season. Are you renting a house or is it just land and you have a trailer on it? It seems silly that they said you could have a garden but that don't want you using well water. Good luck on your garden this year.
@@GrowingUpGarden - I'm in the country in N.C., renting a home on an acre. My landlords live right next door, good people. Well (ha no pun intended), they said that if the well went down they wouldn't be able to afford to fix it. It's an old house built in the early 1930's and they've put some $ into repairs already. I put rain barrels out, so that's what I'm using for my plants. It's a little discouraging, though. I have starters in a little greenhouse and potatoes growing in buckets. I decided to just use buckets this year, and keep them close to the rain barrels. My brother & I are talking about going back to Vv to visit our mom sometime soon. We had moved there back in 1972 off Buck Ave. My youngest sister lives with her and has a garden in back, too.
@@JahlenJohnson11 - Ohh haha, sorry. I use the water from the well for the house. They didn't want me using it for my garden is what I was talking about. So I have rain barrels up and I use that to water everything. I'm not planting anything in the ground this season, just in buckets and pots. And they're all near the house, close enough to transfer the water from the barrels to water when I need to.
Somebody's been watching John Kohler and Ole Joshy boy lol.. I love those guys boogie Brew is some good stuff it's even better if you add a handful of your own compost from your yard adding some native microorganisms to it😊😊
For most of the products I use I just follow the directions on the bag. As for compost you can use as much as you like. Iv grown in straight compost. You just have to make sure it's now hot and steaming when you plant in it. The rock dust i use doesn't burn the plants so you could use more then they recommend on the bag but that can get expensive.
Quick question, in my backyard there aren’t a lot of grass, just lots of broken cinderblocks and leaves, I’ve cleaned/raked that whole area up and now all I see is wet soil, do I just need rock dust mineral and sprinkle over the soil and I should be good to plant?
I noticed you didn't do soil testing or anything like that before amending the soil. Are the ones you used just "standard" ones, or are they specifically for YOUR soil there?
It’s the original transmission. Its never been rebuilt. I’ve only had to change the accumulator spring. It has 220,000 miles on it. The truck weighs about 10,000 with tool box and I also tow a 26 foot toy hauler. I’m amazed it’s lasted this long. I was considering doing an Allison swap on it. I definitely need a newer truck.
Yes. I use super char in the garden. Their product is mixed with other things. Here is a description from their web site and a link. organicsolution.com/product/superchar/ Great ideas never get old. Organic Solution’s SuperChar is a 21st Century application of an age-old soil solution. At its core is Biochar- a natural amendment that improves soil structure, reduces erosion and is the only amendment to last hundreds of years in your soil. Here’s how it works: BioChar is a fine-grain charcoal material whose structure is a microscopic honeycomb. Each tiny compartment provides a permanent home for beneficial soil bacteria while also storing moisture and fundamental nutrients. Organic Solution’s SuperChar is 80% biochar pre-inoculated with our worm castings, humate, rock dust, crab shell and Ambrosia. The super charged pores now have no reason to pull existing nutrients from the soil, allowing for an immediate uptake from your plants! The improved structure of SuperChar amended soil not only reduces your fertilizer requirements, it also modifies the climatic and environmental impacts on your land. SuperChar creates a soil carbon pool that is carbon-negative! Soil Amendment : Biochar offers a number of benefits for soil health because of the extremely porous nature of biochar. This structure is found to be very effective at retaining both water and water-soluble nutrients. Biochar is an extremely effective soil amendment promoting good soil, and in turn plant, health. Biochar can improve water quality, reduce soil emissions of greenhouse gases, reduce nutrient leaching, reduce soil acidity, and reduce irrigation and fertilizer requirements. Water retention : Biochar is hygroscopic. Thus it is a desirable soil material in many locations due to its ability to attract and retain water. This is possible because of its porous structure and high surface area. As a result, nutrients, phosphorus, and agrochemicals are retained for the plants benefit. Plants are therefore healthier, and less fertilizer leaches into surface or groundwater.

I have never done gardening and am going through your episodes. I am absolutely drained with this episode. Is hardly making sense to me. Too many products you use. I thought gardening was simple, this is so dense
I’m not saying you have to use any of these thing. This is what I do to get the best results. If you want to keep it simple just focus on getting high quality compost or you can make it yourself.
