This video is so cathartic! It seems to resolve a lot of the "questions" you'd raised in earlier videos. Particularly time/task management and needing high volume nutritious compost. It's very exciting to hear you found harmonious solutions, all while achieving great yields! I love your videos, but if those videos are fewer and further between to let you focus on the garden, I say go for it. I think you're doing some really excellent work with RED Gardens, and I know that when you do come out with a video, it will be quality.

Couple of thoughts ocured to me. Are your good results just in your patch or are they the same for your neighbours and your part of Ireland. In the past I have greatly improved municipal compost by introducing compost worms to the stack and leaving it for a year to be converted into castings before applying it to the soil as a mulch.

I've often wondering if solar activity can affect growth. With the increased sunspots and solar output, what are your thoughts on it being an additional contribution to all the work you've done?
@REDGardens
@REDGardens 23 сағат бұрын
I don’t know. My instinct is that things like fertility, soil structure, weeding, watering, etc. will always be huge in comparison to any solar impact, but there might still be an impact.

Thank you for the update! As you become a better gardener it is reflected in a better garden. I'm trying to think of ways to give my future self a gift. I recently put the quick connects on most of my hoses it's so much easier then walking to the shut off at the other end of the hose or hoses. I also strapped the sprinkler to the laser level tripod so it's easy to move. Inspired to get the soot off the leaves/foliage from the fire down the valley. We drove past the area, about 30 km from us, about 7:30 Wednesday morning. When we came back from Calgary, AB about 8:30 pm we could see the flames but the fire was on the other side of the Columbia river. Later that night the wind picked up ... in the morning (7) it was raining leaving soot everywhere. I spent the next couple days hosing down the plants and trailers and vehicles etc. The soot will be good for the soil but I think it would block the photosynthesis. The flame is out on the fire but it's smouldering pretty good. It's not a threat but keeps you aware of natures power. Our power was out for 9 hours then too so figuring alternative power is challenging -- I need a lot more preparation in that area like generators and extension cords, inverters and what appliances they will run. I live on 6.17 acres on the west side of the Rockies, BC ... facing the island mountain called Jubilee -- they also called it Sleeping Bear. The wet lands and Columbia river are between us and Jubilee with the Purcells on the other side. This is truly God's country and I'm trying evolve with it.

2:24 it's not all about temperature, we had very low levels of sunlight this year in the UK with basically nothing but 100% overcast skies for about 5 months straight. Even today, we had a storm in the evening that made it appear as dark as sunset at 1800. No sunlight, no photosynthesis.

My guess is that the microbe balance in your soil reached a point that is giving up nutrients to the plants. Soil is one of those natural systems that we don't begin to understand. Every measure I find of microbes in soil comes along with huge margins of error. For instance, somewhere between 10% and 90% of soil microbe species remain undiscovered. So, some years it just seems to click and most attempts to explain it fall short. Of course, your added attention has to be a major factor in getting good results.

Huge achievement amending the municipal compost into a valuable resource Bruce, Irrigation may have provided more positive benefits then we usually appreciate, if you've not researched REDOX it's well worth your time, Olivier Husson has some mamoth papers which have rounded off my understanding giving me a deep appreciation I was completely missing from soil biology, he also has some presentations on youtube which are much more accessible then his huge papers, it's fundamentally much more inportant then pH, high REDOX is probably the reason you had pathogenic fungus issues on one of your polytunnel crops last year, some aerobic fungi turn pathogenic at high REDOX!! Great to see all your efforts really paying off on the project this year.

What I'm seeing with the weather pattern in Southern Norway this year is that it has massively benefitted transplants that got out early into a warm May, but direct sown stuff struggled with drought first and then cool, wet June. This is probably why the farmers are grumbling.

thank you for sharing, its always intresting, have a couple of bean experiments going this year, inspired by you i belive:) and im a por bugger but i can share that i grew som nice german red rokambole this year, started from bulbilles last spring(2023), i belive its a cheap and god way to get hold of cultivars and multiply your stock, but it sems (to me) a bit forgotten metode in the west, have ben watcing bis pro agro and others from east europe to gets some clues. i think i have 23-25 cultivars of garlic rounds for drying now, and if the rocambole was a indicator of how next seson going to be, then im in for some fun suprises the next years:)

Congratulations Mr. RED for your abundant harvest, 丰收, which means 'good harvest', is the most primative and joyful happyness since our first farming ancestries. In China, we literaly stick 五谷丰登(good harvest for the five prime grains) calligraphy papers on doors or containers of food, it's the ultimate wish of all peasants, so I'm really glad that your hard and thoughtful work paid back. Since about april last year, I became absessed with veg-garden, I almost watched every post of every big name gardening KZfaqrs, and your channel is one of my faverite, and you are my career model for the rest of my life, I'm 40 now, when I done with my current investing project, I will start a RED garden in China. I noticed that you posted less content recently, I was worried about something might happened in your life, although I really want to watch more of you videos, I can toally understand, cause I know life is hard and full of surprises, and I wished all the best for you. Then I learnt that it's because you spent more time with gardening rather than video making, I feel relieved. Just do whatever you want to do Mr. RED, feel no pressure from 'keep the channel running', I can imagine the burden of chores of planning, logging, filming , analysing, copywriting and editing, If you just like to enjoy the pure pleasure of gardening itself, it's totally understandable. Thank you very much Mr.RED❤

I believe that leopard slugs use this ability to mate. I am sure to have seen clips on yt. Leopard slugs (Limax maximus) are not too bad fellows. Eat the eggs of other slugs, but not much vegetation. Homesteaders might be glad to have them, though the Institute of Food and Agricultural Science Florida seems to classify them as pest. We are delighted when we see them in our garden.
