I'm in Georgia zone 8A. I don't have irrigation but I'm thinking about using the old fashion flat sprinkler hose. I can turn it upside down and use it as irrigation or almost like a drip line. Also, for the first time I just installed shade cloth over most of my garden. My garden always suffers this time of year and this helps some. Maybe it can help your garden too.

Glad to see you again my friend!Thank you so much 🤗

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

My favorite cherry tomato!

Thanks for watching queen!

Thanks for watching!

Wow, that's a nice amount of varieties!

Glad you liked it!! This definitely encouraged me to grow even more in the fall since I can preserve it better.

Good luck! The best thing to do is just keep caring for it & maybe it'll start showing good signs of life & production.

I hate losing trees. So glad it came back.

@farmermarshall yeah I have 2. I'm worried about oozing sap out of.

Yes, they are very seedy...but they still taste good. We're just going to eat them since it's not enough to eat & make jam.

My choice is brown mustard but I'll use whichever one is available.

Thank you! Will do!

@@lukeswain1752 this is the second time that I've grown mustard greens and it always amazes me how much better they taste compared to the varieties in the grocery store. Are you able to grow them in the fall too?

@@farmermarshall I've never eaten them from the store. Or at all 🤣 no idea if they'll grow in the fall. I'm sure they'll last til at least first frost. This is my first time growing them

Thank you! Stay connected!

Glad you like them! You might not realize how much that means to me!

Reading comments like this make my days so much better! Glad you like them!

Glad to be helpful!

Yes, I was completely shocked by how many I had! They grew so easily!

@@farmermarshall try to over winter them, they do wonders after a couple

I don't recall...

Yes, I have plenty of browns so I only use a little cardboard.

It's funny that you mentioned that because I have a short coming out today based on that thanks for commenting!

Thanks for watching.

There isn’t consensus on what is the ideal ratio of browns to greens because there is a wide variation in the Carbon and Nitrogen content of different ingredients. It is known through decades of scientific research that the ideal range for the Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratio for composting is between 25-30/1. Greens are defined as materials with a C/N ratio below 25/1 and browns are defined as those above 30/1, while those items which fall in the ideal range are already balanced. If you use sawdust, which can have a C/N ratio as high as 500/1 you will need a higher proportion of greens to balance that Carbon content then if you used old dry hay which can have a C/N ratio that is already much closer to balanced. Also, eggshells are not a green as they contain little to no Nitrogen, whole eggs, however, are highly Nitrogenous owing to their high protein content. Smells can come from an imbalance of C/N, but they can have other causes as well. A well balanced pile can still go anaerobic if it is not actively, or passively aerated, which will result in smells, or adding greens in large pieces that have a low surface area to volume ratio can restrict aeration within the material resulting in localized anaerobic conditions. In such cases the addition of more browns can help to mask or absorb the smell, but will lead to an imbalance later, and Increasing the surface area of the materials being composted will be the better fix.

Glad you like it!
