I've been using weed fabric for a few years now. Can't live without it.

@onlyyou5817 3 месяца назад

Just found your channel Praise Yah! My husband and I are retired and live on a homestead in Texas that is paid for. We are also doing a lot of gardening, homesteading and preparing for the chaotic days ahead. Your land looks very similar to ours. We have a lot of that red Texas clay. Picking up some valuable tips from you! Thanks!! You are right when it all goes down the only important thing will be our relationship to Yeshua/Jesus and our Heavenly Father. May Yah bless you and your family🙏

@CountryLivingExperience 3 месяца назад

Glad to have you here. God bless you and your family.

@TaytaBug925 3 месяца назад

Have you researched the chemicals present in that fabric you're using to keep weeds out?

@EastTexasLivin 4 месяца назад

Time saving and back saving solution for weeding.

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

Absolutely

@graceomalleygrimm9776 4 месяца назад

I know it may sound crazy/silly to some folks, but I actually like weeding my garden. It gets me outside, in my garden, playing in the dirt, like when I was a kid. And besides that, I use the pulled weeds as a walkway between my plants and also as compost. To me, it's a win/win. I get Vitamin D, being outside and free compost. I did come here looking for help making it a little less time consuming, but the first thing I saw was plastic. I'll stick to more natural ways, God will provide. 😉

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

I understand.

@wesh388 4 месяца назад

Yeah I agree. With this type of weed fabric, you always get tiny bits of plastic fraying off and ending up in the soil.

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

@@wesh388 I have never had that problem. Maybe with cheaper imitation products but not the DeWitt. Been in my garden for 6 years.

@wesh388 4 месяца назад

@CountryLivingExperience I have never tried DeWitt, but have tried other "premium" brands to make stale seedbeds for spring (I take it off at beginning of spring and don't use holes). Even though I don't cut holes, I will find bits of the black strips when digging. Never using anything like it again.

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

@@wesh388 Interesting. I have never had that issue like I said.

@meljordan220 4 месяца назад

This would be okay for a mono crop but not necessarily for intercropping. You couldn't put companions in with it unless you made your own holes. Sounds like a great idea for people that are doing mono cropping and taking it to market. I'm just growing food from my family though. I don't grow only one thing in an area. I intersperse lettuce with most of my crops.

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

A mono crop would mean a whole field essentially. If you are breaking it up by carefully spaced rows it would not be considered mono cropping. This is still good for small family gardening in my opinion.

@lexasilvestre 2 месяца назад

Becky, from Acre Homestead, did that last year and she's doing this season making her own holes and it works really well and it's not that hard. Looks like it takes sometime but saves it in the long run.

Not about this video in particular but a question from a relatively new Texan and long time gardener in cooler areas (zone 6), question that my gardening friends from cooler zones, just like me can't answer. I mainly grow peppers and tomatoes. I am at the edge between zones 8a and 8b near Austin for last two years. I observed the same behavior for last two years that I am in Texas and would like to solve it. Asking really early in the season so that I can adjust. So, both my peppers and my tomatoes show very similar behavior, plants are healthy and producing well up to late August for peppers and mid-to-late September for tomatoes. Then, as if a switch have been thrown, despite no pests, no ills, good foliage and still excellently flowering the fruits produced shrink to about 1/4 size of expected. They still ripen, still taste perfect but now miniaturized. Plants thrive in this state up to late October, early November but with shrunk fruit. Peppers (mostly sweet "roasting" varieties like Cubanella but also some from climates similar to TX like Ajvarski and some Greek roasting peppers as well as some hot peppers from same regions) are grown in 15gal bag containers and tomatoes in 25gal bag containers (various heirloom and a lot of Super 100 small ones), automatically irrigated, fertilized by the book (ex never an end rot on any fruit,...). Any suggestions about this?Does this happen in TX in general? Anything that would help is appreciated!

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

That is an interesting issue that I have never experienced or heard of. The only thing I can think of is a depletion of potassium throughout the season.

@vandyau1 4 месяца назад

You can also use a quick blast from a torch to make your own circles. Melts the edges so no fraying. 🤙

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

I mentioned that. But to get a nice even pattern for your veg, you will need some sort of template or jog for proper spacing. Option to buy it with holes already there is a time saver too.

@Doc1855 4 месяца назад

Eric, Thank you so very much for this video. We have a horrible weed problem here. The one weed we can’t get rid of is Joint grass,it’ll even push up through black top. You have to weed wack it first and spray immediately afterwards and pray that the poison gets to the roots. But it comes from spores 3’ under ground. It’s a wicked weed

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

You're welcome. It sounds like a type of rhizomateous grass like Bermuda. I have had success killing it off with the silage tarps laid out for about 6 months.

@Doc1855 4 месяца назад

@@CountryLivingExperience The Joint Grass is also known as Snake Grass. It grows straight up and looks like Bamboo grass. It doesn’t grow until the land is worked.

Interesting... love my weed fabric... thanks or sharing. Where did you get the black fabric for your edges? Blessings ❤

@pier-annelachance4960 4 месяца назад

I personally try to limit any plastic in the garden. I know they last longer(I use some in some key area for above ground bed). Do you fertilize only the the hole mid season or do only foliage spray?

@CountryLivingExperience 4 месяца назад

I only fertilize once when the bed is prepared.

@elijahrodgers416 4 месяца назад

There are many crops that would be very hard to grow without it like strawberries.

You should never use plastic in your garden! Micro plastics can get in your food. Micro plastics can cause hormonal imbalances. Low sperm count ,infertility and lots of other problems.

@wesh388 4 месяца назад

I agree, best to not use plastic in the garden.
