- There is so much to do in the garden, but this is the most important part of the garden by far.
Sandy Bottom Homestead was started to supplement our food supply. By Gardening and raising chickens we have been able to meet that goal and start to surpass it. Follow us as we continue to build out our homestead and become better gardeners.

It's spring almost over here! it's going to be a fun gardening year!
I am excited for you!
I started my spring garden, then a week ago, redone the whole bed for fall, hubby taght me how to saw, so I got wood, and made beds. Excited to see how it does. I have been crazy busy missing alot of videos. Oh and I built me a greenhouse by my little 5ft 2, 120 lb, 61 year old, self 😊 I am so happy.
That's awesome! All you got to do is try it's amazing what we can accomplish
Hahaha sir, I should send you a picture of my garden a month ago or so.... before the squash bugs killed all my squash in July, while I was gone for a few days. I call it ADHD Acres
I love that name lol
I am chopping and dropping to complete ole lady exhaustion at the moment, while hiding from thr scalding sun. 😂
You can do it! 💪
Ouch! Those bees are ornery in August and September! Yes, my Fall garden is going strong. We mulch and plant intensively, so almost no weeds in raised bed and containers. I fertilized more this year than in the past. Wonderful production!
Awesome!
Perfect timing I am zone 9b and tearing out all the plants that have a multitude of bugs.
I watched your video on garden planning and am reworking my plans
Nice. I hope you make a good one
Love fall garden
We just finished enlarging our growing area and are in the process off emptying some summer beds. Ordered seeds, fertilizer, mulch. Getting ready for fall planting.
Sounds great!
I add composted horse manure to my beds that I’m done with for the season. Top with wasted hay as a deep mulch and leave it alone till spring. I’ll probably plant one bed of broccolini and another with beets and kale. Let one rest and rotate in spring, leaving one out of three each season to recharge the soil. Dill, cilantro and lettuces will be seeded and grown in the greenhouse until hard freezes start in dec-Jan.
Sounds like a good plan!
Good morning Sandy Sir. How are you doing over there? Far northern California here and it's sprinkling. Our first drips of rain in months.
You want to take some of ours up here in WA? Lol.
Doing well. Looks like we are going to be dry again
Awesome video 📹, amazing information, love your channel 😊🎉
Thank you!
this is how i used to waste my money and loads of time, pretending i'm making the soil fairies happy, whilst actual crops and harvests were mostly dismal. but once you become commited to bringing in loads of dead organic matter, treating the garden like a forest floor, there's excuses to make and double the effort of feeding a soil god.
now i keep it real and grow lots of veggies and fruit and flowers, instead of caring for weeds.
besides the fact that 95%+ of dead organic matter ending up as atmospheric carbon dioxide, it also makes wet soil wetter and dry soil hard to wet, besides all the work.
veggies and fruit need regular and good amounts of nutrients, rather than planning to have a good harvest in 50 years, when the soil is finally just right.
Great video! Letting beds rest, cover cropping, turning in, mulching, revitalizing soil, weed suppression, rotation, fertilization.
Awesome high value video. ❤
Do you top your beds with topsoil, compost, or a mix? Can I be a pest and ask what you used for your initial fill as well? I have 10 beds that will be my year 1 garden here. I have access to both in bulk at a good price.
I do topsoil one year and compost topsoil mix the next
@@sandybottomhomestead thanks!
Thanks for another informative video Ben. One wuestion i have is how long should I rest them before olanting the next seasons crops into it?
I don't rest long if they are going to rest in winter for a bit. I factor a rest time into my plan. My sweet potato bed will probably get a few days before I replant
I am cleaning out all the beds, topping them off with soil had a delivery on Saturday. I take all the mulch and turn it back in to the soil. I understand putting compost and fertilizer on the beds and it taking a few months to break down. But if we are not using the bed should we reapply prior to winter planting. Learning I am in NC zone 8b
In our area it's planting now or planting in February. If you are not planting until February then what ever you put on now will start to break down including fertilizer
Great garden. Do you use fertilizer your beard?
Damn right i do
