RIP Donald. Crazy how quick the years have past by.

I like it when big guys show you how to do things. Show you how to do stuff the easy way.

still miss you,God bless

sometimes it takes country folk to show us the simple, no-nonsense way of doing things....easy, straight forward, and reusable each and every year with your T-posts... Fantastic...Steve

I enjoy watching your easy going narrative and methodical farming technique. Ut is good way to spend your retirement in the south.

Another informative video. I never thought of leaving the netting a little above the ground. Great idea. Thanks Donald. Hope you have a great growing season.

Great videos Don. Been a few years since my last garden. Your videos have inspired me to get back out in the garden, thanks and give Lucy a carrot for me.

Unless you’re trying to beat the rain there’s really no need to rush in the garden, relax and enjoy. : ) …..Donald

I did this with my pole beans this year, and so far they're doing great with it. It's much easier to work with than string (like I was doing before). Thanks for the information. Love your videos. :D

Brings back good old memories of my grandma and I , she would grow her own herbs out in the back yard , ask me to get a bunch and wash them throw them in the pot of beans !!! That was awesome !! The smell was wonderful and the beans were so tasty. Thank You Donald. ; )

Hello from Texas, Thanks for making and posting this video. I found it very informative. It ( as well as some of your other videos) has given me some things to consider for bettering my garden. Thank you !

I'm twelve from South Illinois and this is really neat!!!!! I'm a huge fan! Thanks!

real smart with your netting, leaving clear space at ground level for weeding access! you have a lot of gardening wisdom my man!

you inspired me with this video im going to go plant some beans asap thank god for people like you sir

I have tried this method with my pole beans this year, really like the way it looks. Thanks for all your garden suggestions, they have really helped me alots. Thanks.

Thank you for this demonstration. This will be my first time netting my pole beans and I know I'm going to do it properly because of your video. Thank you!

Hi mr bayou gardener, I am Ed, 24. Thank you so much for all these helpful video im now a great fan of yours. I live in the philippines and im going to save up to build up a farm like yours. country living is still the best in my opinion.

I absolutely Love your videos! Thanks for making them!

Nina44. Can't get enough of your videos , I always look to see you have something new, very nice music. lol

Thanks Donald. I gota say, I think your videos are the greatest. You got me to started and I now have two 600 sq/ft gardens here in southwest Florida and 25 cu/yds (17 tons) of compost delivered due to the sandy soil. I really like gardening, and it looks like we might be headed to the next great depression. Again... Much thanks!

Bryan, who posted below asked my question. Now I know where to get the netting. That is a great set up. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome video. I just found out that I was sold some blue lake POLE green beans instead of the bush, now I gotta rush to do something to save the small crop, you video is the answer!

Great video.. Ive watched it 3 times. I am a new gardener and this can be done on a smaller scale too. Thanks so much for sharing

I love the way u do things, Donald...u find the most efficient way to get something done with the least expenditure of energy, lol...my kinda gardening! =) Great video, keep 'em coming!....Angie from Arkansas

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing what you do.

I learned a lesson this year with my first ever garden... 60x30... I did not put my rows far enough apart and WOW is it IMPOSSIBLE to get between the rows now. Corn, Pole Beans, Water Melon, Cantelope, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Okra and more... Wanted to try a variety first time around to see what we want to plant come August planting time... I am still up in the air, but love your videos.. Thank you for the help.

Second row in the big garden, love that. The little garden is bigger than my back yard.

Speaking of laws, I just heard there's a new law as of 4th of July (today) that nobody can go to the LA beach to report on the oil spill - or they get thrown in jail. Thank you so much for posting this! Loved it!

I do like to keep things as simple as they really are. Glad you enjoy the videos......Donald

thx Donald....your videos are always helpful!

Awesome video. Just what I was needing. Great job.

I really enjoy your videos - have learned alot - thanks from South Alabama.

Love this guy! Great video from a pro...

Great video as always. I always learn lots and your videos are top notch with tons of character. Hope you have a great season by the way :)

That looks better than what one neighbor have setup in his garden and not that complicated either. Thanks for sharing this information and I hope you get a large crop at the end of the season.

Donald, thank you so much for putting this video on. I watched it early in the Spring, messaged you as to where to get the twine and spacing on the t posts. You kindly responded. I purchased the T posts and the twine, tilled up my two rows of about 115', planted and when the plants grew enough I put in the posts and netting. The beans are growing, climbing and the job of pole beans has never been easier. I have an electric fence for deer, now if I can find a way to stop the rabbits. Harold

Thanks for putting out another grate video. I have learnt so much from you. I love your video's.

Your an excellent gardener!!

Fantastic Donald!

Love your garden

Nice! Great reason for your selection of the 48" netting.

Excellent videos, clear and precise details, good description many thanks!!

I got some great ideas from you Donald. I hope you are recovering well !

Awesome. I just built a couple of these this week for peas and beans. They worked great. I think Memphis net and twine should hire you as a salesperson. I ordered their stuff too and it worked great. Thanks for the great videos.

Donald, another great video! I am traveling now, but when I get home in a couple of weeks one of my first tasks is to hang netting for my cucumbers and pole beans (blue lake, by the way). I have always staked the netting to the ground but gee, after watching this, I think I will leave about a foot at the bottom of mine too! Great suggestion! - Mark

Donald, thank you for info. such valuable info.! We will be planting blue lake when we have our garden! My sons are clearing timber off of land now and we plan to have a nice garden maybe next year.( Have found copperheads this early in Ga). I've learned so much from the videos!

: ) At the beginning is usually “hey how’s it going” and at the end it’s “don’t turn loose”, “don’t give up”. Glad you enjoy the videos…..Donald

Great videos. Lots of good information. Have implemented several of your ideas. Thanks for sharing your time.

wow. so amazing! thanks for filming this.. very helpful

Glad you enjoyed and you're welcome......Donald

Hola Donald , I really like your cooking, it

Thanks, this is now my modus operandi for all pole beans and peas :)

Oh yeah, The music is great, love his accent. Makes me crave some Low Country Boil...

Thanks for the advice. My first time planting pole beans ( in Florida) . Wish me luck!

RIP Man

@TheWarscoming ... It is nice to have plenty room to play in. Glad you enjoy the videos.......Donald

@easein ... with the right tools it's pretty easy. I do have grass and weeds out there just not really a big problem. Glad you enjoy the videos.......... Donald

I sincerely doubt that the Garden of Eden was better groomed, managed, or as good looking as your spread. I look forward to watching the summer progress in LA! And thanks again for sharing with us.

Nylon Ties sound like a great idea, they are cheap and strong. Gonna use those ties on my raised bed for Kentucky Wonder. Thank you for sharing.

I admire how neat and orderly your garden is, you must be a long time practitioner of gardening

Hi...... I enjoyed watching this. Strangely, I have never grown beans in Australia, where I grew up, however I was fascinated with your video, and I did learn some new information. Not sure that I will ever use it, but interesting nonetheless. I wish you only good cropping ! Ian, from Fukushima City, Japan.

Love this video! I hope to give it a try this year with Kentucky Pole beans, but not so sure it will be a good year for gardening since we are getting MORE than our share of rain (Portland, Oregon). 1 day of weak sunshine every 7 to 10 days just doesn't cut it. Our temps are 10 to 12 F lower than average too! Only thing growing here right now is lots of moss and happy slugs! If you have any spare sunshine send it our way please! Keep up the awesome work Donald!

@MadBadVoodo ... a big thank you ...... Donald

I like running a string along the bottom too so wind don’t pull plants up.

@CindyPDX ...We're getting plenty sunshine, lots of wind and no rain. Having to water pretty often. Glad you enjoy the videos.......Donald

This works well on any vine crop , watermelons, cantelope , squash / zucchini etc. , you just have to support the heavier fruits with a sling .

Great video! Just bought netting and Louisiana Purple Pole Beans -- the plan is to attach the net to the eaves over the porch and grow beans up it to provide a lot of shade for the windows/house here in Georgia. Sure hope it works. :)

Excellent!

Thanks for the info Donald. Rabbits ate most of my pole beans last year when they got to be around 2-3 inches in height, annoying, had to replant quickly. I'll also till my plants in at the end of the season too, thanks. Good luck this years.... =)

I would love to visit your garden.

another good one.

This was beyond helpful. Thanks so much. =)

Thank you so much!

I planted (2) 80 ft. rows of Red Kidney Beans yesterday (lots of rain coming for South LA), along with (2) 80 ft. rows of Pinto beans.... I made my furrows, put about 2 or 3 seeds every 6-8 inches apart and applied the fertilizer (in the furrow with the beans), then covered the furrow up with the garden rake and NOT the row hippers this time (or ever again)! Lol!!... Sure hope I did everything right and that they grow!

@Bookwirm ...Thanks and glad you enjoy em......Donald

Good vid thanks for sharing it with us.

Very cool, I like it !

@crewlla ... the crop netting works for 5 ft. or 5000 ft. of beans. Real handy stuff and easy to work with. If you take the time to remove the vines, you can reuse it the next season........ Donald

Love the music!! 🙆 ? Called lol God Bless You & your family.

@caholaway ...Glad you enjoy em and you're welcome.....Donald

Great video

@emt845 ... it really comes in handy when it's time to take the netting down. I go along and cut the plants even with the ground so I can remove the netting in long sections......... Donald

It’s ¼ inch yellow twisted polypropylene also from Memphis net and twine. It works real well cause it stretches very little in the heat…..Donald

Donald, you da man... these videos are awesome... from one middle-aging portly guy to another... thanks a million for the tips and suggestions... and can you tell me the Cajun stuff you say at the beginning and the end... thanks again.. I certainly subscribed to this...

@MrsDomestics ...Glad ya'll enjoy the videos. Loshepa can mean several things one is "hang in there, don't give up".......Donald

Hey man I gave you a thumbs up and some money love 4 your great video!!

Just subscribed.... like your style

@polylingue ... glad you enjoyed and hope it helps......... Donald

Thank you

Excellent work. I'm doing this too but using woven wire fence and landscape fabric. No weeding 😁

Thank you. Emmanuel.

Thank you! I learned something!

Glad it helped......Donald

@svtcontour ... I think it's going to be a dry summer again this year, hope not but it's just a feeling. Glad you enjoy hope you have a good one too......... Donald

@TheSavvySwede ... I don't reuse the netting where the pole beans are planted but it certainly can be if you want to take the time and remove all the vines. I do reuse the netting for my Cucuzza Squash. It's been sitting out in the weather going on 2 years now....... Donald

Very well done

Thank you so much for all of the know how. I am a newbie and all of your tips are soooo appreciated. Now all I need is a month to month list of what to plant up in north west Georgia?

@djm50able ... glad you enjoy and hope you have a good year in the garden........ Donald

It's easy and it works......Donald

nice... I like it. easy. simple i need to do some simple stuff here soon. i have some vining stuff growing now..
