No that's not correct, if you check out the link for the biodynamic gardening book in this video's description (Amazon), that's what I'm going by. It doesn't go by the typical full moon,new moon etc. It goes more by whether the moon is ascending or descending, check it out and have a blessed day!

Hey guys! I found your channel a few weeks ago, some good quality content here. I like how you do things no till and everything is very organized. Do you have any issues with earwigs. They seem to be my worst enemy when growing broccoli. Any tips or tricks to keep them away? Great tips and thanks for sharing. Cheers from Ontario, Canada. Happy gardening!

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

The only good thing about earwigs is that they eat a good quantity of aphids,I believe that beneficial nematodes will take care of them.

Excellent video. I've been using very thing Thule fabric but it's not as wide as what you used. Is that the thinnest material available from that source? The reason I'm asking is you can see right through my thule fabric and I'd prefer more sun here in chicago.

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

Yes I think it is the thinnest fabric. If you're growing brassicas under it, it let's in plenty of light - they do very well under it. I've grown summer squash under it as we'll and it also does fine. Actually I haven't had anything not do well under it - I've done carrots too. So you might just try it and see for yourself. It looks like it's way to thick and would really hinder plant growth but that hasn't been my experience with it.

@MichaelJosephJr934 4 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for this info! I'll check it out. I like the thule fabric cuz you can see right through it but nobody makes it wide enough. That fabric roll you use is pretty cheap. Thanks Again!

I suppose that would be the way to grow brussels sprouts, under the cover. I’ve tried in the open and it does not work.
