Garden Answer with an echo is better than no Garden Answer at all❤️

Oh my gosh that sound wasn't bad at all. In fact, it sounded like we were right there in that beautiful barn/studio with you! Keeping it real!

Just happy to have a video! 😊 we appreciate anything we can get 🙏

What a great week it was! And Aaron was right. The video started very echoey, but after a few minutes you didn't really notice it anymore.

So glad you chose to keep the video! I bet 99.9% of us don’t know about or notice any of the “techy” things like audio troubles. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of work that goes into making your videos so inspirational, educational, and BEAUTIFUL! We are so grateful for all you guys do! ❤️

😂 "Turns out plants just need water and they're okay." 😂 I said the same thing when we put in our drip system. Thank you for showing me how to get consistent water to my plants!

God bless Paul & Bethany for giving you (Laura) a feeling of and actual support so you are not stressed, so you can continue to make videos for all of us!!

At first the echo was a little jarring, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I’d much rather an imperfect video than no video at all!! These recaps are a big part of my Sunday mornings 😊💜

A gardening book is too static. Both Laura and Aaron are always on the move and what makes Laura so appealing is the way she ‘romances the camera” . You feel like you are right there and she’s talking to you. Like when she’s all excited and walking fast and says , “ Ooh you have to see this. Just look at the color on that bloom! Aaaaahhh so gorgeous!”

Even with "sound issues" this is BY FAR the most professional KZfaq Channel I watch. LOVE LOVE LOVE GA!!!! Thanks for the recap!!

I love it when you two brain storm ideas and your thought processes for projects! Your idea to test plant the supertunias is genius 💖

The audio is not an issue, It’s authentic if anything, so don’t stress Laura!! 😅 I probably wouldn’t have even noticed.. 🤣 But GREAT video as ALWAYS! 👏🏽🙌🏽🪴

The title made me laugh. 😂 Your content is so good that the sound isn't even an issue. Aaron was right. Once you tune your ear to it, it's fine. You guys rock, as always!

Gardening books are beautiful, but your pictures & mini videos on Instagram are awesome. You put great music with most of the videos. We get little snippets of the kids & cats....just keeping it real! That's what keeps us coming back.😊 thank you for sharing your Garden and family with us ❤

Laura, I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM! The way you approach projects and your garden is so awesome. I just adore your channel and everything you and Aaron and your team does! You guys bring me so much JOY. THANK YOY FOR MAKING MY LIFE BETTER.

Love the Sunday garden chats! Thank you! P.S. I turned my volume down a little and I could hear you without an echo.

So wonderful to wake up Sunday morning to Laura and Aaron. Thank you both.

Just to set your mind at ease… we watch a lot of ‘shop’ videos (cars, mechanical, boating) and that is how a lot of them sound, so it really wasn’t annoying. At least we can hear both of you and buzzing is more annoying than anything. 😂 Love these Recap/Q&As - I’ve learned so much! Thank you guys!!!

I think I heard the gears in each of your brains shift in to high gear when you started brainstorming for the trial bed- awesome to watch happen in real time! Keep up the great work to you both, Paul, Bethany, Ken (?) and everyone else that comes and goes behind the scenes! I echo what everyone else is saying- better to echo than not echo at all. Put yourself in a metal shed on a hailstorm day and we will all still be watching! Rain or shine our gardens grow!

Both my hose link hose reel and my Laura ogar arrived. Installed the hose reel and used the ogar. Absolutely 💯 percent love them both. Thank you for telling us about both products! They both are a huge improvement to my daily garden work and save and save me from staining my back as well.

Audio was fine, no worries! 😊 Thank you guys!!

I would never complain. Everything you guys do is appreciated!!!❤

Aaron, I loved hearing you say you enjoyed making money as a teenager mowing lawns, a thing of the past, it is extremely hard to find a young person to cut the grass now a days around our area it’s more of grown men who have lawn care business….so good for you! That is why you are successful In Your business/life. Your not afraid of hard work…thank you for what you do…I no longer watch cable TV

Hi...I Bought your 3 x 36 augur and You did break the internet that day lol. After several attempts I decided to call due to my order wouldn't go through 😂. The augur arrived in 2 days and I have used it already. It definitely made the job of breaking up our clay easy!! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you! Also your iron hack has helped my hydrangeas immensely. In fact used it on several plants and quickly the leaves became a deeper green. Love your show!! Wish it was a 2 hour show....it is So enjoyable. Keep up the great work. You all are such an inspiration.

Laura and Aaron kinda liked the sound like this. It just made me feel more like I was in the studio with y'all. So glad y'all just went with it. Always love to watch every video yall make.❤

You were right aout the audio in this video... Hardly noticed any issue at all. I think hearing you share all of the information you do, trumps any other noise trouble there may be Thank you for always being so amazing!

A-A-Ron’s right… the longer you watch, the less you hear. Respect for having the courage to post this; it was worth posting! Professional, not perfectionist, is where it’s at.

I would love to know about the plans Nick used for the trellis. It was beautiful & he did a great job on it. Love the channel. You all do an amazing job. Thank you!

I had two dahlias from last year that never matured. Last fall I placed the fabric bags that I planted my potatoes in on top of the area where the dahlias were. To my surprise, I was planting holly hocks near where I had planted the dahlia tubers, and lo and behold, I have two dahlias growing. So, in a sense, I overwintered my dahlias successfully!! Now to keep the chipmunks away from them!! Yeah!

It would be great to have a video / chat with Paul and Bethany. I’d also love to see Bethany’s garden.

I would SO be here for a Vista experiment!! I'd love to see how they all perform under the same conditions.

I really love the flashbacks on your beds from past years

Audio is not that bad! Thank you for still choosing to upload this❤

You guys are the best. I listen in double speed. The echo is no big deal. Thanks for all your hard work. You guys make my life more enjoyable.

The shovel Paul was using is a manure shovel, for shoveling out stalls. Just to help narrow down how to find it.

Audio is not too bad. Makes us appreciate the quality of microphones you invest in though as your sound typically is great!

I think Aaron is correct about the tree roots. We is the midwest normally get a lot of rain. It’s almost impossible to plant under trees. And those roots travel ALL THROUGH THE LAWN. Planting anywhere under the canopy creates issues. We just deal with tree roots continuously if we plant.

It just sounds like you guys are in a big room talking...not as bad as I thought it was going to be...everything is still clear and I can understand what's being said with out straining to hear...so it's fine! Thank you for uploading ❤

I love how Aaron understands your personality through and through. He is able to explain to us why a book would be so difficult for you because you NEED to dedicate 100% to all you do, and I would not make you happy shows how much he supports you. Your relationship (marital, and professional) always makes me so happy you have both found a loving, supportive partner who seems to be made just for you! ❤

Oh a 1 plant per plot would be an excellent comparison and a great way to really see the performance of each plant since there will be nothing else competing for space, water or nutrients.

That shovel looks like a manure shovel... no matter... works perfectly. I envy how little mess paul made.

Forgot all about the echo! That’s just what happens when the content is just so good.

You seriously should stop worrying about doing a video on a topic that you have already done❤ Most of us will totally love watching a video of you plant garlic for the 5th year in a row. You have new people every day and most people won't go back to find something. I watch so many videos of yours that I don't need to watch for information. For example, I grow 300 dahlias I clearly don't need to know how to divide or store them, still watched the videos🙂 I feel like you can always learn something new or or pick up a tip. Plus many of us just love your channel, your family and what you are doing so we watch just to support you. We are interested in what you are doing even if it's the same thing over and over. New people have no idea what they have missed

A water feature. I knew it!! July is a long time to wait to see it, though. 😂 I am living my life through you and Aaron. Everything I would like to have in my yard, you and Aaron are putting in your garden. And just think, I haven't spent 1 dime of money. 😂 I am happy for you guys 😊

You are a perfectionist, the video is fine. The info is still what I like, not the equipment to produce it. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with folks like me! I love that you do what you do!!😎

Hi Laura ,It wasn’t just you with the rose of sharron I live in the area of Vacaville Nothern California And I lost my rose of sharron to and it was well established I was so bumbed and I couldn’t see any indicators of what could of went wrong,so off to my local nursery Midcity in Napa I went and they said a lot of people lost there plants and there not sure why as well anyways it now gives me the opportunity by the proven winners pink chiffon if I can ever get my hands on one we don’t get a lot of proven winners in our area one last thing every nursery I go to and even box stores I hear Laura and Aaron from garden answers you guys are amazing and I’m so happy I found you in 2015 you guys are the rockstars of the garden world and most of all your just amazing roll models in time we need that in the world you bring us all joy thank you🌸

I would be happy with a Garden Answer calendar with just pretty pics

Aaron‘s words of wisdom:♥️🤩🌺 „Turns out plants need water to live.“🍀 „Some plants do weird stuff.“😂 Love you both!😊 Thank you for your videos which always brighten up my day!🌻 Blessings and Greetings from Vienna (Europe).

The sound in the video isn’t that bad. Your recap videos are always amazing, and I really enjoy seeing your visions come to fruition.😊

We use the 'Button up' phrase in the UK, it's quite common. I'm from the Midlands. Love your videos, I've learned so much.

Yay! I'm getting a pond for my birthday!! Can't wait to see it. 😁

Bubblegum Vista is my favorite! Just love that pink❤

YESSSS! Do some test plots in your new overflow garden area!

Prepare yourself for the echo 😂. It’s not bad at all, I’m sure many of us would watch you with no audio at all, just planting your heart out ❤❤❤❤. Much love

Love the recap videos and this was no exception! The sound was ok to me, in some rooms is more echoey than others. I am glad you kept it! 🤗💜🤗

I enjoyed all of this weeks videos and also enjoyed the recap! The echo was not distracting to me at all.💕🌼🌿🌹🌱🐝🌳❤

In reference to the person asking about plants reverting even if they’re not grafted, I have a Brazil philodendron houseplant that has a stem that is reverting back to the original philodendron (non variegated leaves). I took a cutting of it too and I’m growing a non variegated philodendron from it. So they can revert even if they’re not grafted.

Bravo great job guys. Keep up the good work ❤

Yes, our Australian shepherd loves Biotone and Bone Meal! I have to keep her inside when working in our back garden but she’s only 6 months old so still learning not to bark at all my garden tools, water spray, and my feet as I walk around the garden! She does like to dig too! Your sound was fine on this video thanks so much for all you and Aaron and your helpers do- always so encouraging and helpful🥰💕.

Hi Laura and Aaron. I love that you're putting in a pond! I had one at my last house and learned quite a bit from it. We are near the ocean and the sight of a great blue heron gobbling up 7-8 inch koi fish called for drastic measures! I wound up placing flagstone in the deepest area, on top of cinder blocks. This gave the fish an area to hide, they weren't accessible to raccoons and were barely visible. Our koi had babies and grew fairly large I'm happy now to have my two small fountains, and can't wait to see what your pond will look like. I start my days watching your videos and love seeing your journey.

it really sounds fine, Laura! Not a problem. Keep on making those super informative vids for us. I learn so much from you ❤

I love seeing how you plant your garden every year. It motivates me to get outside and get started in my garden.

Our daughter , approximately age six, loved cloves and stuck one way up in her nose, large end at the top...needless to say at the hospital there was a lot of screaming from the burning and it took several of us to hold her down.. the doctor couldn't see the small tip as he used a long narrow tweezer.... everyone was frustrated....we couldn't help her... finally with much prayer he saw a small end and believe me prayer was the only thing that removed it....❤❤

I have sensory issues - watched it on mute with cc on NO PROBLEM 🎉 Thank you for sharing!

Didn’t mind the echo at all! Kinda made me feel like I was in the studio with y’all 🥰

I loved the big drop about the pond in July.way to keep us on our seats. Thanks for another great Sunday, in the books

If you test the supertunias, please do a few plots of each to get an average performance, as we do in scientific trials. If you only do one plot each, you can't be sure if the plant might have some defect, disease, or fails to thrive for whatever reason. And if you want to get real technical, square meters are the prime plot size. Sorry--I'm a total nerd, and I'd love to follow this!

Appreciate how you always give Paul and Bethany credit for their work.

“Button up” is a very common phrase here in the south as well. I think it is from exactly what it sounds like, a shirt is not really on until you button it up 😉. In the south we have a phrase for almost everything!! Some I could not repeat here on KZfaq.

I agree with a previous comment. A little echo is way better than no video at all. It was just fine. 🥰 As a beginner, I have learned so much from your videos. Every plant I put in the ground, I replay Laura's voice in my mind with some sort of garden answers advice. 😅 SO appreciative of your videos! 💖

My husband asked me to order him the Laura edition of the power planter. I told him since Laura just mentioned it that the site would be very busy. So yes the Power Planter site was very slow. Thirty minutes later he came though and asked did you order it yet ? I told him I was still waiting. This is one time I was able to say "I told you so !" They shipped immediately and my husband is thrilled with it. Thank you !

Yes Aaron! You do have an awesome and neatly organized video play list❤️. 28:22 I started watching your garden answer channel faithfully in March of 2020 when the COVID Pandemic hit hard and the Salon services were shut down for 10 weeks. I went back to the beginning of your orderly listed playlists to watch your videos chronologically from the start. So glad I did ! Was fun to see how the channel and your lives evolved over the years. Keep up the great work and sharing your love of gardening and life with us❤

Omg I’m so excited to see your future pond project! I was just recently at Aqualand, home base for Aquascape in St Charles, IL and bought some Saracenas and other pond plants and some Koi and Shubunkin fish. I would LOVE to have a pond designed by Brian, he’s so talented and passionate about his job😀 I just want to say how PROUD I am of you guys, you’ve worked so hard to be where you are at this point, I think it’s so wonderful that you’ve been able to turn your passion for plants, gardening and all that goes with it to make your business and personal dreams come true ❤️

My dog, also, goes crazy for Biotone! He likes to play “keep away” with jackets and patio pillows and THEN I brought out a bag of Biotone! Destruction of two bags (happy grass where it spilled) before I hit on the idea of transferring it to a large plastic jar with a screw lid. I’ve also learned to carefully mix it in the hole and if I’ve forgotten, too bad, it doesn’t get sprinkled on top because he’ll dig there.

I live in an area that backs up to a heavily wooded green space and I can't use biotone. A few years ago I was so excited to use it after seeing the amazing results that Laura achieved and I planted a large number of plants using the biotone in each hole. Next morning all of the plants that I had planted with biotone were dug up and laying on top of the ground. I tried again, same result. Not sure if it was raccoons, opossums or armadillos but I gave up on using biotone, it is just too yummy and tempting for some critters. I was so bummed!

Oo yay a pond! That's exciting!! And yay for no supertunia bubblegum this year (not a fan lol) Love all the pots this year!

Winter sowing.. Well Laura, my winter sowing is still an empty milk jug sitting on my back patio.😂😂😂

Oooo ☺🙌 I love the idea of doing a test garden of the Vista's to see which one does the best. ..I'm using the new jazzer berry it's doing real well in my big pot on my tree stump...bubble gum might still be my favorite it may be because the color is so sweet. I'm growing it too in a smaller pot but it was really pretty in that very big pot on the stump last year . I'm so hooked on the vista's. .🙌💖

What has worked for me with winter sowing isn't planting out "HOS" (hunks 'o seedlings) as many do. Instead, once I see a set of true leaves, I pot up the little seedlings into 1020 inserts (either deep 36 cell or deep 48 cell), letting them fill those 6-packs with roots, and then either up-potting or planting out, depending on what it is. Winter sowing just works so well for things that otherwise need scarification and/or freeze-thaw treatment. You might try approaching it only as a germination method, see if that works better for you.

I agree with Laura on this one. I bought the shorter auger, and even though I’m gardening on a smaller scale, it kills my back!

I would love to see a vista/supertunia experiment! I grew two bubblegum last year, one at each side of my front flower bed. I had a large area to fill in, but they far exceeded my expectations! Zone 7b southeast US here. Each of those 2 petunias grew 6 ft x 8 ft!!! Talk about a massive petunia. Watered every day, and fertilized with PW fertilizer every week. In my area, petunias are high maintenance and tend to get leggy and fade out by Aug. These were gorgeous even after a few light frosts, right up to the middle of Oct. I will never buy any other petunias except proven winners lol!

Please do a side by side on vista petunias, three or four varieties, just so we can see how they stack up to each other. Maybe on your newest property.

We purchased "the Laura auger....36 inch extension...". .my husband and I luv it

A photo book would me amazing, just a bunch of pics of your garden every season. Also, the audio made me feel as if I was there chatting with you.

We aren’t picky about the audio. All is good! Thank you!🌸🌷🌸

The title made me laugh so hard! I actually liked the echo for a change: it made it feel like we were right there with you!

I would never have noticed an echo. It doesn’t bother me at all!!! Glad you decided to go forward with the video.

You do have a neat playlist 🙂 In the winter I just pick a year and let it play It really helps when you want to be outside but can't.

Eastern NC here, watered all flowerbeds in the back and side yards while listening to Laura and Aaron this morning. How enjoyable you made my morning.

I always enjoy your videos. Anxious to see the bed near the house come to fruition as well as a pond to come!!!

TRUE Aaron. We do get use to the sound,overall. Have the best Sunday. I nominate ice cream for all.

I love to watch you and Aaron go back and forth about projects! Your personalities are so complimentary to one another it makes you a great team! The audio was fine and Aaron was right, it was less noticeable the longer you watched.

that is just the best mantra ❤ “I just like to grow stuff, it has pretty blooms 👍🏻 great” 🥰🥳🌟❤️

Yay, a pond! Also, you are such perfectionists, we don't mind if the mic had issues and we hear a bit of an echo once in a blue moon. Anyone who has issue with your audio needs to find something better to be worried about. As usual, thank you for being yourselves!

Sound was fine, love that Paul and his sister are shown more lately, also happy to see that you added smoke bushes, mine is same colour, I was surprised when it took off and became so tall, I realized it was growing into a tree so now I cut back hard each winter and it keeps it more of a bush but it still gets tall each year but I love the colour it gives to the garden.

🌾As Aaron predicted, I got used to the different voice quality as the chat went on. That is a testament to the quality of information and content you provide. This set up of discussing the questions with each other while addressing them to the audience is by far the best I'ved seen compared to other KZfaq accounts. Aaron, I thank you for putting such effort and dedication to ensure we receive a top notch video, sound included. I appreciate Ken's contribution to the editing of these videos. I can tell that he watches every detail when deciding to cut frames ensuring continuity. For instance, I watched that cup of coffee go down in liquid, yet not once did I see Laura sipping it until the very end between 47:33 & 47:34 where Laura seem to reach out for the cup while Aaron talked and between 54:58 & 55:01. Great job!! Ken also did an amazing job at 41:02 where he matched Laura's words from the original video when she said "so that we know". What a gift!! 🙌🙌🙌 As for the augers. I love my short auger to plant alongside the tall beds. It puts the auger at the right height to dig the hole. I even sit at the edge and comfortably dig the holes. As for the irrigation (@ 44:17) for residential & small areas... I highly recommend to invest on a b-Hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer by Orbit. It is WiFi accessible, it gives you alerts when watering is done, detects rain in the forecast & delays the watering automatically, it shuts off the timer in the rain and it is super affordable. I found it at Home Depot (Timer with WiFi hub together for $59.99 in 2021). Love Aaron's suggestion of doing a comparison planting of the Petunias and finally at 54:30 announcing the installation of a pond. Can't wait to see that project.🌾

I enjoy watching Garden Answer almost everyday. My granddaughter, 2 1/2 years old, knows I like watching The Garden Lady, Laura.

I have 3 small augers, I never use them. I have one 36” auger and it is used daily. I agree with Laura if you have to get up and down it defeats the whole purpose! Everyone have a fabulous week!🌸🌼🌺🌞

8.35 Talking about the shorter vs. the longer augers ... I have two of the 36" length ones and LOVE them. However, I do have a corner area where I have "treed" up (is that a word?) my Burning Bushes in order to plant Hostas underneath and I wish I had a shorter one for dealing with in there. Just a thought.

I hope we get to see some of your flower arrangements from start to finish.
