This is the kind of information RFDTV should provide instead of endless horse programing and polka

I only have a small raised garden in my backyard, but I sure love your video's. You are informative and fun to watch.

donald I just love watching ur videos u sure do make it look so easy great work and I hope u have help from time to time have a great one

Thank you, Donald, for another great video! I too have but a small raised bed, but I can still take what I learn from you (and you too Praxxus) and utilize it. On a smaller scale of course.

Donald, my row hippers are working great! Already used them to hill potatoes and, as soon as I get home, I will be doing the same for my corn just as you did! Keep up the great videos! - Mark

Best gardening videos that I've watched. Most have too much chatter and/or music and not enough info. Yours only has gardening and nature as background sound. Now that is music to my ears. And your info is to the point. Thank you from south MS

You were right !! I think they're going to be ok. Thanks for the help.

@ransom47 ... running the tiller between the rows really works well keeping most of the grass down. Glad you enjoy the videos....... Donald

I had one only corn come up last season and it is still trying to grow....lol. Next season I am going to give one of my raised beds over to it. I am also going to dig up my lawn. I'll watch and enjoy yours...taking notes.

Your corn looks great!!! You don't know how much you have inspired me over the past year....I'm glad you had a video today!! :O) My 10 year old Ian, plants about 10 corn plants in pots about two months ago and it's ready to be planted someplace. lol I have to find somewhere to stick it today. If his comes out half as good as yours does..we'll be doing alright! Take Care!

@catniplemon ... the good part about gardening is you can do just about everything done on the tractor with hand tools. Glad you enjoy the vids and hope you have a great year...... Donald

super nice video!

...finally getting some sunshine and pleasant warm weather here in california ag country. squash, strawberries, and salad daily from the earth...mmmmm good stuff.

One of the things I love about his videos, other than the ever so helpful advice and tips, are his dogs. Gardening dogs are awesome.

very nice!

@deepsouthlouisiana ... it's amazing what someone can do with the right tools and it's fun too...... Donald

Thanks for the tip......Donald

@webcajun Thanks. That makes me feel much better because I thought I might have let the corn stay on the stalks too long.... I might go ahead and pick the rest of it tomorrow. Matter of fact, I got some that I bouled on the stove while ago. Fixing to go eat me a few more ears!! LOL... I done ate about 10 ears today alone! Haha!!

Very good advise next year I'm planting my first row of sweet corn. Good channel.

@9aspengold5 ... thanks and glad you enjoy the vids........ Donald

Got just about all my corn picked. Still got a few ears left on the stalks but not many at all. Been eatin corn and potatoes like crazy! And I really can't believe how delicious everything is! I don't know if it's because me and my tractor done it or what the deal is. But everything is Great! Will for sure be planting another Spring garden next year... Noticed that most of the corn had big green worms in it and looked like "brown sugar". Why?? I just cut the worms and "bad stuff" out though.

@markhess .... hey Mark, just like a tiller, row hippers are a must have in my garden..... Donald

@webcajun Thank you much! I will use it sparingly. This is my first own garden. Ill have pics for you when I am done.

@moofph ... nothing beats fresh vegetables right out the garden....... Donald

@AmericanPowerBase ... now that you live out in the country you should plan a small fall garden. I think you would really enjoy harvesting and eating vegetables that you grew...... Donald

@SirChadwic ... I agree, that is some good eating..... Donald

@djlancastre ... glad you enjoy the vids and you're welcome...... Donald

AAhh man your corn looks beautifull.I am late getting my corn and okra planted.Never have used fertilizer for it before but i am going to get me some 17-17-17 and give her a whirl.Hey i raised some of my best gardens when we have a drought.Last year was the rainest worst gardening year i ever remember in my now 47 year old life 2009 i want to forget it....Thanks WEBCAJUN

@mhamerson ... I don't think beans are too crazy about pulling dirt up on their stalks so I don't do it. I apply a little fertilizer at planting time and that's it, no side dressing. We have been getting some much needed rain the last few days. Thanks for sending me some. lol...... Donald

@firestoneslave ... thanks for the advice...... Donald

@webcajun Thanks Donald didn't know it was for tatters too.I grew some sweet potatoes last year could have used that on them thanks.

corns lookin good don up here the saying is knee high by july looks like yours is allready there enjoy

@qyorkatoz ... you can plant and grow all but the cool weather vegetables. Plant them in full sun and give them a little water every now and then. You'll do just fine....... Donald

It don't take much water for corn but you got to have at the right time when it is tosselin.

@MakeupAddict4eva ... I hope Ian's corn comes out great and yall can both enjoy some fresh sweet corn right off the stalk........ Donald

Yes sir my name is Tony Black this is my first time planting sweet corn I have 6 rows 72’ long I was was going to lay by with 13-13-13 or blood meal what is your thoughts. I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. Thank you sir and keep up the great educational videos.

@MrLarryHorse ... thanks Larry....... Donald

I enjoy all your videos, I do have a problem that maybe you can help with. I live in north east Texas and I planted my corn and it's about the same height as yours is in this video. We had some strong winds along with a good bit of rain and it blew all my corn over flat. Will it stand back up on its own or should I till it under and start over?

@xxwnetelxx ... thanks from Louisiana....... Donald

@justmy10cents ... Corn is on average about 3-4 ft. tall and has already tasseled. Cantaloupe vines 1 ft. long and full of blooms. Strange year...... Donald

I use a balanced fertilizer like 8-8-8 or 13-13-13 for everything. 6-8 lbs. per 100 ft. of row…..Donald

Donald, I love your videos. I have a question. I planted 4 rows of corn, and they have grown up to become pretty healthy. The problem I have is, I live in a very windy area. People grow huge amounts of corn all around me, but my little section just gets killed by the wind. Wind whips it around so much that it starts to expose the roots, or it just lays it down completely. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this? I think some people grow so much corn that it creates a natural barrier.

@woodlandcammo27 ... yes you can use 13-13-13 but just be careful and not use too much...... Donald

Looking good Donald. Im wondering will that fertilizer work well for all garden plants? Our garden is just planted 2 weeks ago and we did not bring in any mixed soil so Im thinking I should fertilize it soon.? What would you recommend for basically starts ranging from not sprouted yet to corn about a foot tall. Thanks for another great video.

@onyisraw2009 ... I do some canning, some freezing, give some away and sell a little. The corn in the video was harvested and frozen.......Donald

@yakyakyak69 ... I'll keep that in mind when things slow down in the garden....... Donald

@freestylze ... thanks...... Donald

@rebeldawg2169 ... compost tea is about as organic as I can get. Still need the bug spray and fertilizer with some crops..... Donald

Thanks so much for your videos! I really enjoy them a lot...My garden did real well last year and I have found that keeping the cows out of the garden helps it do even better LOL! But any way got a Quick question- Are you broadcasting the fertilizer over the corn plants? If so how does it not burn them? I am not criticizing you or anything cause you do a great job and know what you are doing. Just wondering thanks! God Bless from South Carolina. -Steven-

@webcajun Thanks for the quick reply... Ok got a small question (and probably many more to come..lol...) Besides G-90, what other varieties of corn are pretty much 'guaranteed' to grow here in South LA ?

@acsdata ... corn being blown over in the home garden happens all the time. In fact if the wind is strong enough it gets blown over in large fields too. It will usually survive and come back in a few days. I don't know of any way of preventing that, sorry...... Donald

@bamagardener ... any strength fertilizer will work if you use enough of it...... Donald

Ok, I got the corn and potatoes cultivated today. Tomorrow I plan on hilling both crops. My question is, should I side dress all of it with a little 13-13-13 fertilizer before I bring the dirt up to the stalks/plants with the row hippers? The corn is about 1.5 to 2 ft. tall, as well as the potato plants...Thanks. Oh.... the cultivators will sure let you know how straight the rows are and how straight you planted!! (I lost some corn stalks.)

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. In this particular video, were you broadcast spreading the fertilizer? Am also curious about why you chose not to use a Covington side dresser (TP-6A). I have the TP-46 Planter and noticed that you have one too as seen in one of your other videos. Rick - Tennessee

Here in Kansas it keeps raining and raining and raining. Thankfully I have a sandy , well draining soil. The cucumbers just love this rain. My jalepenos are looking pathetic. We had one night of torential downpours and some pea sized hail. That really beat up all my peppers but the toamtoes made it through like champions. Luckily a 1/4 of my vegetables and herbs are in containers so I moved them under a large overhang by the shed. Does anyopne know if I can use 13-13-13 on any of my vegetables?

@rimma4 ... depending on the variety 70-90 days...... Donald

@arkansastrash320 ... like potatoes, corn loves the fertilizer...... Donald

@kindacoiny ... thanks...... Donald

@565Customz ... a garden this size would take a lot of compost......Donald

How do you store all of your crops, or do you sell or donate most of them?

@231MasseyFerguson ...I just break the damaged part off too.....Donald

@kingtiger8177schotzi ...Hey Steven, you may get a little leave burn but it's really nothing to worry about just don't over do it.......Donald

Other than a shotgun some folks hang aluminum pie plates around the garden that can swing in the wind. That may work for a little while……Donald

You can always add water but can't take it out when there's too much.....Donald

where did you buy your hipper/bedder? I have been looking but can't find one for my compact tractor.

what kind of hiller is that

@DirTyOhGee ... a good start is 8 lbs. of 8-8-8 for every 300 sq. ft. of garden. To side dress it's 3 lbs. per 100 feet of row....... Donald

I try to set the planter to drop a seed every 8-12 inches so no I don't thin.....Donald

@231MasseyFerguson …go to the LSU AgCenter web site, they’ll have other recommended varieties for Louisiana….Donald

@evcrawfish ... and living right....... Donald

@henrycems ... the garden does like a good rain. You can almost watch it grow the next few days...... Donald

I planted my corn 12" apart, but I planted 4 seeds every foot. one for me, one for the worms, one for the birds, and one to rot. In some spots all four of them came up. How many stalks should I thin it down to?

@Praxxus55712 ... I sure hope so. lol...... Donald

@sownsew ... I do all the camera work and editing, it's pretty much a one man operation...... Donald

Give a week or so and see what happens. My guess is the majority will stand back up on its own. Some stalks may have a cure to it but that's ok.....Donald

Sir, What is that mighty fine tractor you are using? Actually I noticed the name one of your other post. I'd love to see a list of your components (for the laymen) for farming. I noticed the attachments in this video and some different ones in the Potato laying one. Wonder if you have a list of accessories?

@scottdrawdy ... Stevens Tractor Company, tell em I sent you. Ask for the "Row Hippers". They can ship just about anywhere....Donald

good soil good land where is this does it have land for sale

I don’t do that and I’m not quite sure why some people do…..Donald

@231MasseyFerguson ...if your potato plants are that tall already I wouldn't give em any more fertilizer. You can side dress the corn, it's likes fertilizer. Cultivators will do that to you......Donald

@chris150389 ... even if you're in a drought watering everyday seems like a lot. Before watering, dig down a few inches into the soil and check for moisture. You'll probably fine you have more than appears on the surface. Plants don't like to be saturated in water and can cause problems. I see that in the rainy season.......Donald

Link to buy that attachment please

@jackburton2009 ... call your local dealer...... Donald

Dry weather will scare you wet weather will ruin a crop.

@Praxxus55712 ...What are you doing here?! Back, back - - BACK i SAY!

@sadia102 ... the secret, if you want to call it that, is to water the seeds in after planting and keep in mind that corn does like a little fertilizer....... Donald
