YT: Garden hacks, raised beds, and easy to grow veggies

the best hack from this was planting in a gutter and dumping the gutter out with all the sprouts, right into a planting trench.

this guy is kinda too enthusiastic, but he says beans, radishes, and "asian greens" are the quickest and easiest.  i'd never heard of the greens he talks about.  way more than 5 things the title says

more of a show off piece, but they have a large variety of plants and vegetables.  they seem happy.  didn't really teach me much about gardening, except they keep mint in pots, but it was fun to watch.

another quick tip video.  this time the best tip was chipping the walkways, then shoveling the chips into the raised beds the following season, once things have broken down.

i looked for a garden  video for texas because we have a dry climate.  this lady made a raised bed out of pallets, laid paper down, filled in three things and mixed them, then kept her plantings very simple.  a bit slow moving but still learned some things.  i'd like to have seen how her transfers turned out.

ok yeah, different plants need different things to keep up their production.  keep plucking the blossoms off basil so that it keeps making new leaves.


alright, this set me up to garden and to take a nap.
