Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Great soil health tips from Dan! His knowledge of soil biology, nutrients and amendments will help you understand how to have the best organic garden soil preparation possible! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant's root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!

Shishkabab sticks are useful for so many gardening endeavors, they are one of my favorite accessories. I wish my father shared my interest in gardening, my mother is floral gardener, but she is more tidy and orderly than I am. Your father/son dynamic is half the appeal of this channel, besides the quality info. Cheers

@sn232 Ай бұрын

I LOVE that he went into detail about what he grows beside the tomatoes in the shade of the tomatoes, and that he added a row of cucumbers to shade the tomatoes to prevent sun-scald! It would be helpful if your titles contained wording that said: companion planting in the shade of tomatoes, prevent tomato sun scald with cucumbers. Then we can search your videos, which searches your titles, and find this video that explains how to do these things. Use the descriptive titles to give specific details about what all your videos contain, it might help to bring more viewers.

I’m glad to hear you mentioning the “Y” branching out because unless you’re observant and thinking clearly, you might think they are to be cut away. You are the first channel that I have heard mention this. This is only my 5th year gardening veggies and I love learning more info and tips. I was pruning and removing suckers yesterday but, I realized that should not cut the “Y” simply to create single stemmed tomatoes. I could see it is ready to bring forth fruit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great method to doing a dual main stem method. I did the same last year but just used 1 rope and tied the other main stem to the same rope…not as much airflow but I gave it as much as I could and it worked great. Also on my Cherry tomatoes i did the double leader but I also let more leaders grow but topped them almost making extra little branches on the tomato that grew more fruit.

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Ай бұрын

Never! Nature doesn't and neither do I, if you think about how nature works it's amazing, the plant grows up pulling up the exact nutrients tha it needs and then dies and deposits them back in the ground for the next cycle, you can either use spent plants as mulch or compost them and then put the compost back on the soil, God knew the perfect way for plants to provide food for His creature!

I'm glad that works for you, it wouldn't work for me unfortunately as we have way to much wind,the plants would be thrashed inside the crate! I don't have to worry about hardening them off as they have been in the high tunnel so that makes it easier. Keep gardening and have a blessed day!

I like the wood trellis system but have got a question. How are you going about rotating crops for getting a successful harvest of tomatoes every year with the wood system?

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork 25 күн бұрын

I do not practice crop rotation, nature doesn't so neither do I , it's actually better if you don't that is if you put the spent plants back on the soil as mulch or compost them and then put the compost back on the tomato bed,the plant as it has grown has taken up all the necessary nutrients to grow a nice crop so by putting the plant back into the same soil that it came from means that you don't need to amend with as much amendments to replenish what was taken out by the crop.

@glenaddems2930 3 күн бұрын

So many expert growers, on youtube! What did we do before the clips? As a tomato plant grows the new growth is soft and can be gently wound around the string as it grows. I do not recommend clips in windy areas they cause damage to the stems which causes disease entry points. I love the clips but in windy areas they are not ideal.

I like this two leader system . I have 2 questions. Do you use this method with both determinate and indeterminate tomatoes? Do you rotate your tomatoes from year to year? Thank you so much for this detailed information.

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Ай бұрын

Good question, I typically don't grow any determinate tomatoes as they don't have the flavor that I. Looking for and are also harder to deal with their plant habit. Nature doesn't rotate crops and neither do I, once you consider how nature does it it makes perfect sense,the plant grows up and dies and puts all the nutrients back into basically the same spot and the cycle repeats itself, so you can either use the spent plant material as mulch or compost it and put it back on the bed. Have a blessed day!
