Hello, I noticed that you didn’t grow the onions in the bales. was there a particular reason for this? Well you show hat your garden looks like wide open. peoduction levels and so on. Thankis Neal
Hi, I have a question on your potatoes. I’m in S. Calif., so hopefully I can have success growing them now (in November). I have a potato plant just sticking it’s first “leaves” or whatever out of the ground.
Am I supposed to cover that with straw, or compost? And how many times do I keep covering?
Thanks for your consideration,
now you just have to keep starving people from eating all of your food.
America is going back to its roots. A bunch of fit people digging and planting and cutting. Yeah , I love it. That is how you get good sex.
Man ; That was great advice. JUST, don’t be ashamed to give GREAT advice. That urin thing, Excalint. Amonia in small amounts works great for plants. Just wish I had thought of it. Thank you for this video.
THANK YOU YOU gave some good advice.
DOE YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS HOW WE an keep some bees but not in beehives buth through some creation of a natural enviroment for them.
You are wonderful. I am doing exactly what you and so many are doing- we cannot continue to sustain an oil-run world. I am learning to garden. I work with my local nursery, and have joined a co-op. My goal is to be 70-80% self-sufficient in a few years. I live in Southern Calif. so that should be feasible.
We all have to do it.
great video. Would you like to exchange ideas? I’ve had good success fixing nitrogen into water useing bacertia and fish. Also bat houses are a great way to turn bad bugs into valuble gueno.
Thanks for sharing knowledge by posting this.
Get a few goats…best lawnmower ever lmao
Rock on! How are you doing this summer? I have planted twice as many veggies this year as I did last… everyone should be growing something… keep spreading the word… grow food, not lawns!

DUDE!! Where are the rain Barrels?? Right next to your potatoe cage I saw the GUTTER downspout, but NO rain Barrel!!!!
Good work!!! DO MORE!!!!!
please also consider using using your roof . it gets plenty of sunlight and is a quality amount of space. also utilize the space of any neighbors or friends you can talk into it. even if you have to do thier work yourself.
Great video. Gardening your own food is great. My garden is fairly large and I plan on expanding it. You’re right about needing to learn how to sustain yourself.
The true lawnmower of the future has four legs and your can harvest its wool. BAA BAA BAA
Gotta have some updates and more videos!
Awesome video!
Nice, my wife works out in Murfreesboro. Have you considered running drip irrigation hoses down the center of the hay bales? In the event that no running water is available, they can be connected to a rain barrel which you can pour your nutrients into(urine, fish emulsion, etc.). I’m not sure whether or not this would clog the pores on the drip hoses, it hasn’t on mine as of yet but I haven’t been using anything with large particles. I’d love to discuss things with you further, message me.
i am saddened to see so many negative comments here. I can’t understand why. so much anger and hatred. why? I think your gardens are lovely and you make very good points about weeds. weeds are generally more nutritious than anything we plant, yet people treat them like the enemy. i had never heard of straw bale gardens before, so thank you. i want a straw bale home too.
Great video! Thanks for your concern and your very helpful tips.
