OGS Worm Castings, I know you hold them in high regard (just above Gold Plus) Where do you place Gaia Green's Worm Castings in comparison 🤔
John, I absolutely respect the fact that you have not sold out to the “youtube click me culture “. You have remained authentically you since the beginning. I respect that. ♥️
So true, I was just thinking about this a couple days ago.
This guy has it on point. Do what you love. Love what you do 🙌🏼🌱♥️
Please tour Green Dreams New nursery!
JOHN, YOU'RE IN MY BACK YARD!!
Conor is great, I got a few things from him over the years. Most notable, Sweet potato, like you both are saying I got 2 plants, now they are everywhere. They should come with a warning, "planting these will be permanent" Anyway, I haven't bought sweet potatoes from a store in like 2 years, buckets and buckets, Connor knows his stuff.
Also kind enough to let me tack on a few special requests to his fertilizer order.
One of the most beneficial videos that I've seen. Thank you!
Beautiful video, fills me with love. Fanstastic interaction with the owner near the end. Love John's weird style and jokes btw!
Allot of food farming down in Florida 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Thanks. I’ll definitely try to visit to see what I can add to my yard. I work in WPB.
Great video ! Thank you for sharing !
Here in CT i found a white mulberry tree that taste like straight sugar cane. When there ripe they have a pink hue to em. Yummmy
I gotta get me one of those trees!😂
Good video as always John, Just acquired half an acre of land to start my micro farm, just noticed awhile ago theres a pomegranate tree right on the property, it just started leafing out so hopefully after i apply a a more nitrogen based fertilizer it will produce pretty well had a good harvest of Arizona sweet oranges from my tree as well made some fantastic OJ 👍
John you should tour the food forest of James Presiosi in New Jersey
Where are you located? I'm in Camden county
Fabulous!
Very cool -will visit
I just finished ordering from boogie brew for my spring time gardening supplies and decided to see your video John. I used to live in Fla. for 10 years and it's interesting what plants you can grow there. Now I live in Wisconsin and my perennial plants are up.
Thank you for investing smart and Puerto Rico because you’re invested in The land the TAÍNO PEOPLE lived and thrived.
🇵🇷is a fértil land .
For the life of me I don’t understand why this is not a part of the curriculum in schools.
In such a rich fertile land I would have this in every single grade from kindergarten all the way to college.
Puerto Rico needs to invest and their land to become more self sufficient.
For crying out loud we import bananas from Costa Rica even though you see them growing on the side of the roads as well as Mangos. ☹️🤨🤔🤔🤔
Hey John, can you be a speaker at the Homesteaders of New England, in September?
👍
Live?
This is a premier, I am live in chat, but it was filmed last year.
Nice
Use to follow you and forgot...turned notifications on and you popped up...used to have a garden but some evil aylanthis weed trees stole my sun...working on another spot and hope to get the trees of hell cut way down
Mulch attracts roaches. I prefer to mulch with oak leaves down in Florida.
In California I haven't seen this problem.
Nor have I had that problem in Phoenix, I usually use fine pine shavings as mulch though
Roaches are soil composters here in south Florida not to be confused with the German cockroach or as I call them the bad ones lol
Dear Mr. Kohler, I reference this CZcams channel in my new book, "Frugal Food." I abide by copyright law (I properly attribute you and give a direct link to your channel). But I think it's just rude to publish about someone without at least letting them know about it.
However, you apparently don't like email for business correspondence, so I am forced to contact you via the comments section. I recommend your channel on page 92, and would like to offer you a free e-copy of the book for your review before I publish.
Please let me know if you are interested in receiving a copy of the manuscript for review.
Thanks,
Linda Grace
Thank you for the mention in your book! Please contact me via DM on Instagram. I would love to have a copy of your ebook! thanks!
@@growingyourgreens I should be able to figure that all out by tomorrow or the day after, at the latest. Thanks! Linda
