I used elevated beds due to my age and only had it in me to put them together and fill once lol 14 yards moving with wheelbarrow to back yard was a back breaker lol everything is doing great and the mole barrier is a winner , I use liquid fish fertilizer and everything is doing great! I use neemoil to keep the bugs under control along with DE on dirt to combat bugs and ants also my neighbor did in ground and won’t use anything so her beds are litterly feeding bugs and not her! Yeah it means I am out there every morning in this heat watering but that’s ok I pick any weeds so not getting out of control and checking my plants so they are healthy, I did close plant because I feed every week my corn is booming tomatos and bell peppers also just pruning to make sure air flow. They are doing great and see lots of tomatos,bell peppers, squash,zucchini and onions,my Swiss chard is producing so good even with me cutting the outer leaves for my scrambled eggs and omelette every morning 😁 thank you for this wonderful vid so much info

Sounds like a good selection. For the best varieties of each, contact the Cooke County Agri-life Extension Office at cooke.agrilife.org/

I am moving to Cleveland Texas and my topsoil is fine sandy loam but I cant get anything to germinate in it so I added 2inches of compost to 12 inches of topsoil and mixed it all in and put in a 5 gallon bucket with drain holes to test it. When I watered it, the water just puddled and would not drain. The soil turned into mud and the bucket was super heavy. What do I need to add at what ration to fine sandy loam to grow most vegetables?

For the most accurate information, contact the Texas AgriLife Extension office in Liberty County. You can find them online at liberty.agrilife.org/. Their experts can instruct you on what to do with that type of soil.

Azle tx here. It was fine clay, water just ran off. I added compost, course sand and the native soil into 3 gallon size hole for each transplant. The water drains around the plants now.

Are there any HOA front yard friendly vegetables or fruit bushes that can grow in shade (north facing walls)?
@ShadesofGreenTX
@ShadesofGreenTX 2 жыл бұрын
It would depend on your HOA, some are far more strict than others when it comes to veggies in a front yard. It's stupid, but true. Cold season veggies like leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, cabbage, kale) are a bit more tolerant of shade than summer veggies (tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc.) which need at least 6 hours of direct sun to produce fruit.

It all depends on what direction your facing. A north facing patio will get far less sun than a south facing patio. It's difficult to grow most vegetables with anything less than 6 hours of direct sunlight.

@@kristengem8809 You'd probably have the most luck with cool season veggies (planted in early spring or fall) which include leafy greens like collards, kale, swiss chard, arugula, lettuce & spinach; root veggies like beets, carrots, potatoes, radishes & turnips; and brassicas like broccoli & cauliflower.
