People who complain about Jim videos are insane. And literally do not see the value in growing food, so it really perplexes me why they are here in the first place! Id be perfectly delighted with daily Jim videos! I watch the old ones multiple times a week!

Only one complaint about him out of thousands. There will always be negative comments. Just ignore it. We all know whenever Jim is on the video we can learn so much from him. The number of viewers don't lie

Very true, I started out when I was 18 and 2 years later I got my back broken. Then when I recovered I went into gardening full time. It's those like Jim a Pete that inspire those who are looking for a new passion or calling that will make things better for them and the community. I am now 27 and have been gardening 9-10 years now. I'm hoping to get bigger and expand more in the future.

@lisakukla459 2 жыл бұрын

Similar story for me. I had a big deal surgery on my spinal cord with a super long recovery. Once I was up and around, I threw myself head first into growing. It's been 6 years now and I'm still full steam ahead. Even bought a camper & did work-trading on a couple farms for a year. I'm 40 and for the first time in my life I finally feel like I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. Good luck to you in the coming season, and happy growing!

It's a part of creations built-in good things, tho. These tough, vigorous weeds. They're there to keep the soil covered, to repair and heal when it's been damaged in some way, or in tough/extreme conditions. It's difficult, when that's where your home is, for sure ! But just sayin', I've learned to view these weeds with appreciation for they're designed use, even when they're in my way and when I don't understand why they're still such an issue, when I seem to be successfully reducing they're reasons to be there ( things I've learned from Geoff Lawton and others, about why they're there and taking over and what to do about it etc. and what to watch out for/know - I really recommend Geoff's videos on weeds ).

The deal with millipedes is their shells are chitin and the nematode egg shells are also chitin. There is a fungus which feeds on chitin and so if you increase the amount of chitin in the soil you can increase the fungus which in turn controls the nematode reproduction by killing off the nematodes in the egg stage. Also, the millipede poo is comparable to earthworm castings. They are more successful in our soil and climate than earthworms and can consume rougher even woody material compared to earthworms. The millipedes are also far more mobile than earthworms, can climb, and have a higher tolerance in less moist conditions compared to earthworms.
