I'm glad to see the other people. Try to help their wildlife survive such as myself. We don't see many these days that even care about the nature around them, much less helping it survive. Although you are not in my area, thank you for doing your part in conserving our wildlife!!! I am currently in the process of trying to hatch out a few box turtle. Eggs for the same reason. Raccoons, never let them. You can get close to hatching around here before. They are gobbled up, so the fact that I found her laying her. Eggs. Last night it was a miracle, so I'm going to do my part to see that they get to hatch this year.

I searched but couldn't find part 4

Awesome video, thanks!

The “clover” that you mentioned at the 2:53 minute mark is not clover at all, it is known as “wood sorrel” or oxalis, look carefully at the heart shaped leaves and yellow flowers and you’ll realize it’s not clover

I have a good crop of potato fruit this year. My second year to occur

Im not sure about this "method " being named for a specific person but my family has used it since before I was born three generations ago but yes it works ok if you can keep the rhizome grass out of it otherwise its not that great. I think calling it the Ruth Stout method is like saying Columbus discovered America, sort of but not really... ish.

Thank you for all the info provided as I eventually have to build a fence at 65 yo. I am very interested in your 4th video. Is it out yet?

Finally, a video on groundhogs that doesn't involve trapping, shooting, or eating them. It's 2024 now, and nowhere throughout social media, does a long or even short form (30 minutes) documentary exist about them. Thank you for this bit. I'm still left with lingering questions, like, did Gordon mom eventually disappear? Or is she the only permanent resident? Oh well. My search continues

High quality and informative video! Subscribed ✅

❤❤❤

I would need to purchase an entire farm to get the quantity of mulch I would need! :(

B.S.!

I wonder (if you’re still dealing with the grad, which I assume you are coz it’s nightmare stuff) if you used the tarps fully enclosed and try out some strawbale gardens on top so the space is still super productive while the garden bed is out of commission with the benefit of a bunch of fresh compost to introduce when the tarps come off?

Bermudagrass 😭

Soooo just use "Fencing Staples", like the name suggests, got it. LOL

I can't find that slider.

I was not able to garden for 2 yrs and got a late start this year. When I turned my attention to my raised garden beds they were covered in 3-4 foot weeds. Even the pathways. Ugh. Took me 2 weeks to clear, pulling them out by the roots. One raised bed, though, had nothing growing in it. Odd I thought. Then I realized that it was the one bed I had mulched with hay - coastal hay. I had recently heard that hay could have weed killers in it. That’s the only explanation I can surmise. This was purchased at our local feed store. This year I will not be using hay. I will use pine straw which is organic. Hope this works!

Did any more of the eggs hatch after this guy??

Giving a like just for the honesty.

I have picked green tomatoes placed them in cardboard flats and stored them in a cool closet. We had fresh sliced tomatoes for Christmas. You should start with green tomatoes, I don't think you should seal the box with tape. The trick is to use the tomatoes as they ripen to keep them from rotting and spoiling the entire box. I have not tried wood ash, perhaps it could protect the fruit from pathogens I think the old way may have been to leave the charcoal bits in. These pieces of charcoal may absorb some of the eheline gases produced by the tomatoes, slowing the ripening process.

So, same as crabgrass?

DEPENDS

Thank you for sharing this video. I have a turtle that played eggs last year, I only found 1deceased baby 😢. This year Rosey is back. I will cover her eggs & hope the eggs will hatch & I can help them get to their pond.

Such a Nervous Nelly not having driven steeper more twisting roads than a lot of others have including including myself.!!!

I really appreciate your video I was literally fixing to search something like this and all I asked was can you grow radishes and hay. Thank you!

I have this grass in my yard, which I believe is Bermuda grass, mostly in a radius in two different spots where tree stumps once were. The problem is, in those areas where this grass is present, it's mixed in with different varieties of good grass I want to keep. So I can't just cover it up with a tarp etc. Normally I recycle weeds by burying them 1ft or more as filler material, where it'll be too deep to continue growing and will just decompose. But I know that can't be done with Bermuda, so I've been collecting this crap in bags, and the plan is to burn it up when using the fireplace and convert it to ash which can at least be thrown back into the garden. But if there's an easier way to deal with Bermuda rather than manually pulling it up... I'd like to hear it.

Maybe he mates with them before they wake up?

In Devon, the old farmers called it: "Helling potatoes", because by doing this, You are burying them. No such thing as hell anyway. 🤪

Thats why you should mulch. Lol Help loosen soil so you can pull out those really long rhizomes in one go.

may try just loose wrap in news paper

Glad to see old knowledge is coming back and becoming mainstream

on reclaiming quack grass infested former pasture, I mowed short continuously and good turf grass took over. turned over garden plots with turf between rows to mow. put down old hay with black plastic on top for a neglected plot to mulch we'll see how it works out. Got to grow your own with the good earth.

The best thing to mulch your garden beds with is grass clippings. It breaks down fast and feeds the soil.

What is the "sheet" that you are covering the garden with? New to channel and the Ruth growing method.

So my family went out yesterday to harvest some of our potatoes and discovered that about a quarter of them had been chewed on in 25 ft of a 50 ft bed. This 25 ft had red potatoes growing in it with no onions or garlic. The other 25 ft of the 50 ft bed has white onions and garlic. We harvested 3 plants from the white potatoes and none of them were chewed on. We have another 50 ft bed of white potatoes and onions growing about 3 ft away from the row that had rodent damage. We harvested 6 plants from this row and there is no rodent damage at all. I couldn't figure it out at first so I went to RUclips to find an answer. Now I know❣️ Thank you sir😊 Peace and Love Neighbors ❤️

Thank you

maybe it would have been the charcoal

Thanx for the info! I know about the Ruth Stout method, but have a huge potato beetle problem ! Any solutions? Thanx

Maybe there a mistake in the method. My gandma told me that they used to bath fruit and so in ashes and water hot bath. Then they sun dried them up and it was very nice. I tried this method with grapes and it worked. Don’t know

We've heard of sun dried and now there's ash dried 😏

My question what kind of wood ash did he use. Conifer. Deciduios. They can have different effects. Hard wood ash is used to make lye. Maybe that could cause the issue.

Thank you brother! All the love and peace to you and all humanity!❤️☮️🙏🏻

Perhaps the DAMPNESS & COOLNESS of the Basement hindered its ability to preserve. TRY KEEPING IT IN ROOM TEMPERATURE & Little light. NEVER PRE-WASH before storing your fresh foods, the chemicals in city water systems will break down your tomatoes etc. overnight. I had fresh picked ripe tomatoes on my kitchen table for 3 weeks in a none air-conditioned home 90+degrees(tomato condition PERFECT just as the day they were picked), one day I decided to wash the ones I'd picked and in 24 hrs. they were breaking down to spoilage. My Mother INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED her Tomatoes in NEWSPAPER placed in a container like a milk crate or bread crate something which allowed air to circulate around them, Picked GREEN or PARTIALLY RED making sure none were already Over-ripe, periodically (about once a week as she used them) she would check to see if any had ripened, if they had she used them. We had fresh garden tomatoes up until spring or a bit into spring, enough where we had them throughout winter but began the craving for the new crop of summer as the tomatoes ripened were now empty in supplies. MUSTY BASEMENTS can ruin PRESERVATION of many food products.

I've chased the rhizomes 3-4 feet deep. I'm so frustrated!

you can try the same but half ash half lime. Anyway the best method is making canned tomatoes

Maybe use tomatoes that are almost ready to turn red. Use more ash - a deeper layer below them and plenty above them? Keep in a low humidity basement or room.

grasses are generally safe around the world, so no worries on saftey, only issue with grains is infestations and such ERGOT molds etc.. fresh more or eless should be safe.

From what I’ve come to know the straw or the wheat fields get sprayed that’s why I won’t buy straw. The hay bales I buy from a fellow who only spread cow manure in his field prior to harvesting it.

The pocket gophers in my garden love garlic. They'll eat it all if they can. They don't eat the onions though. I have Quack grass, voles, pocket gophers, mice, ground squirrels, squirrels, chipmunks, and now.... Giant Marmots. Lots of giant Marmots who can dig down a foot and climb more that 5 feet. I'm not giving up but it is sure a battle!! Yes, the first couple of years nothing ate the potatoes. Then they found them and also established their tunnels and probably made lots of baby rodents after eating all my good nutritious food. I enjoy your videos and I hope you keep them coming!

I have onions on one side and garlic on the other side of the spuds, they are good bedfellows. Not to mention a cat on duty.
