This was such a good video. The best teachers are the laymen who are self taught. They seem to always be more passionate and enthusiastic. Thanks, John.
I’m glad I found you very entertaining I’ll be watching you all the time
Sounds like a description of me.
I was born a Farmer, but I joined U.S. Navy , in 1958, and still back to Gardening after Retired from the Military. I had been A Executive Chef for over over 20 years...
Thanks John, your teachings have without a doubt impacted my life in a positive way that I couldn’t begin express via a comment. Love the energy and enthusiasm. Much love my good sir.
John's brain and memory activity is working amazingly, all the plant food no doubt.
John is the best!!!
There are Many Hoarders of Knowledge Thanks for Sharing Yours
"Plant densely, like a rock concert"😆🎶
Man I love your videos. You're so entertaining/funny and provide great information.
I rake up all the leaves in our yard, and both neighbors yards as well. It works out great because they think I'm doing them a favor lol!
Imagine being this high without drugs. I envy you , John.
He gets high on chlorophyll ha !
@@jettyeddie_m9130 hahaha :D
John you are a great teacher! I like teachers that can keep me laughing and loving what I'm learning..
thanks john i started watching you 6 yrs ago thanks for motivating me to get back to gardening i had Guillain Barre several yrs ago i garden from a power chair and have 3 -30 ft.x
4x16 in beds that i helped build and filled myself
Thanks for this wonderful teaching.
Growing food is the answer to one of the world's top 5 problems.
In this new year I am going to feed my pecan trees. I have 3 different types. Half of them were bad this year. I now have rabbits so I can spread their manure around the trees too.
I love that you're sticking with nature and soil.
I love your enthusiasm! As a somewhat experienced gardener the best part was the filter and ways to accomplish it economically, a filter advantage was something I know but have not acted on, You got me there, thanks. Fully agree, it is the most important step, almost anywhere microbes will come, even more easily than worms, and it is important to create the environment that will foster and not limit them. Most of us gardeners hopefully get who does the real work in a garden. I agreed with everything you said, but am able to process it as a gardener. For example I may disagree with trace minerals importance which is dependent on your location. Something I might suggest as a universality is all the products you showed might overcomplicate (and overprice) things for some, so maybe qualify that all the improvements you do are not needed to be successful and what real differences they make, if you know by degree, separate from theoretical but that is your passion so you must include it. If there is a measured improvement in quality that is most compelling. Gotta get people gardening any way they can, it is a happy thing, but keep spreading important concepts!
Thanks for continuing the move towards natural farming
Brother you have amazing energy!! Love the passion you have to bring us the 411. Lol I was thinking you were ADHD since first seeing channel. Thanks for all you do man you're a gem 💪🏻
Dude! OMG, this is such a great video!! I'm laughing so hard! Thanks for making a topic about soil so much fun!
Hey long time no see. Good to see you again. Glad to see you on.
I've been following you for many years now. You always inspired me to garden. Love the videos. It's great to get an updated video after all this time. So yes more master classes. It's summer here in Australia but it's been cool and wet after a few years of drought where I couldn't water my veg. Amazingly some just kept on growing. Months of no rain. The roots I left in the soil. The gardens lush this summer. I grow from seeds which took me a few years to figure out. I also collect my own seeds. I'm currently restocking my seed collection. Thankyou for all the years of information and motivation. Happy 2022. Love you.
Aloha John, from Hilo, HI. Been following you for many years. You have helped me soooo much in my gardening journey. What do you do about cabbage moths?? If your ever on the big island, we have a spare room for you. Mahalo!
This was extremely informative. I took many notes. Thank you.

Rock on John!💯💯💯
Thank you, John. Have a beautiful day.
You are such a wonderful person 💕 have a blessed new year and thank you for your help and support 🙏
Happy New Year John 🎉 and Happy Growing. You and your videos are awesome! Meeting you and Jake really made my day a few years back. Thanks again for the Ashitaba seeds.
John I have been getting great results from something similar 22:46. I use a 2100W pressure washer to macerate cardboard. The pulp can be drained and stored dry for later use, worm beddings, compost, etc. Macerated cardboard can also be applied as a liquid mulch from the watering can. Have been applying a thin layer of liquid mulch over newly placed hay mulch. Very important to get some fresh compost down first, I will often add green manure seeds at this stage too. Works very well here as the thing that kills gardens here is the dry wind.
Building soil is the key. Compost is key
Castings, frass, compost... All similar all will work brah
Watched it all. You did indeed touch on everything a beginner would need to know of. Very compact video. What I have been studying for a few months straight in about an hour.

I am an avid Gardener myself .Last my Green lasted me 7 months. From April to October 2021. I use raised bed , direct , Hugelkultur method and partially Green house with out heating. It did work out even here Snow Country Saratoga , Wyoming. Watching also in most of your project..
Love your videos!
Best garden I ever had was in Barstow.
Thank you for all that info!!!

Great Info
Thank you!!!!!!!
The best information, very helpful.
Info on tap water for plants very good information
Happy New Year!
John you have blown me away with all the tools you, Josh, and td have put in my toolbox. I love to garden and after seeing some of your canna-videos and non canna-videos I want to change the way I garden completely. We moved and our soil is terrible, but I finally get great sun. I cant wait to start implementing all of your tips. One thing I do want to share with you and something you can show td is the soil we have locally here. It is completely organic. This soil has one type that was created for organic cannabis growers. I find and many find it better than foxfarm soil which I know td said he uses and so did I before coast of Maine came about here. It's called Coast of Maine soil and its their Stonington Blend. Please check it out and share it with them. If i could share any tips with you it's the one thing I could think of especially from our coast to yours. Happy gardening to you and hats off to the way you live everyday. Thank you for sharing it with all of us! Looking forward to watching all your older videos as I am new to your channel!
John, I had grown some cannabis Last year i had an issue with aphids overloaded on one of my plants. I mixed 3 Tbsp of Diatancious earth per gallon of water. The very next day i hade zero aphids. Worked great and i used food grade freshwater Dia.. Happy new Year and blessings from mine to yours... THCank you and CHeers... Martin
Another thing that works great is a mixture of 95% water with 5% unleaded gasoline. It usually kills them within a few weeks
95% water and 5% semen worked for me
@@peezyworld420 i AM SURE I WOULD NEVER PUT gAS in on or near my garden.. Why would you use such a dangerious material. There is tons of very easy ways to get rid of Aphids. In my experience Aphids a one of the easiest pests to eradicate.. However i used the Dia water mix to see if the plant would uptake the silica threw the leaves the test was very succesful to eraticate the little buggers in less than 24 hrs and Zero ill effects of using the mixture.. Cheers, M
@@mchv10 SEamen ???? R you some sort of Troll??

Love your energy m8
great content, i am trying to grow a food forest in the high desert in Palmdale california. thank you for the info..
Nice Obsession! Well Done!!
I have been doing this for years, and it seems to work in my clay soil. Dig a foot down, and throw that clay in line with the trench, then fill the hole with wood chips, and then go to starbucks, and get as many coffee grounds as they will give you, and mix that into those chips. You're basically making a raised bed with good drainage, and by the end of the season, you can't even tell where the wood chips were, because they composted with the coffee grounds, and I find the plants nearest the edges of the wood/coffee are the biggest and tastiest.
Yes soil! That's what I need, how to make the best soul! TY!
35:45 ive been telling everyone ive worked for in lawn and landscaping to compost everything. Leaves in one pile and grass in another. And DO NOT USE LANDSCAPING FABRIC! USE MAGNOLIA LEAVES FOR A WEED BARRIER UNDER THE MULCH AND OVER IT AS WELL.
@John Kohler : thanks 😊 for letting us know that you have a video showing how to grow food in your front yard !!!!
Awesome
John I just read a few different things following up on thistle and they said a recent study showed thistle leaf extract worked on a previously untreatable brain tumor. I was reading that thistle heads use to be eaten like artichokes. I'd love to see a follow up with you on it. natural wild diverse grown thistle is probably better than hydroponic grown thistle on medicinal nutritious level. would love to discuss a few of these things
Rite on 👍 grow on
I love hearing this stuff again in one place... great job, great work. The Archaea is new ! A few other things I hadn't heard from him in this. In your new water filtration system, do you have a vortex or structurizer?
Use the mint as chop and drop or put tops in compost. I freeze mine and feed to my worm bins.
This was a cool video; a change from the norm.
Thanks i watched the whole vid my guy thanks im greatfull
So having a water filtration system water softener would that take out the chlorine or chlorimin ??
Shared! Thank you!
Still going strong 💪🏽 I’m all ears
I had a mint plant in a big planter for ten years and this summer was so hot that it killed it. I am heartbroken over it.
If you try again, mint will grow in heat with afternoon shade
thanks
First thing I do when trying to improve soil is to grow something in it that can add something to the soil - sunflowers for carbon or to break up hard ground and add structure, beans or peas for nitrogen (can be planted together with sunflowers). In my location, in one season I can plant about 2 or 3 sunflower crops - I have hard compacted clay, and they thrive in it - by the end, the ground has been protected against sun, has tons of root matter buried deep allowing air and water to infiltrate deep creating a great space for microbes, the hard ground is broken up and enriched with carbon, and I have a ton of dead plant matter to chop and drop over the top to further break down and protect the soil - plus I have a ton of seeds to carry over.
Wow nice cool, thank you love you :)
I'm a brand new subscriber. This long form content is quite helpful as a beginner as it's hard for me to watch ALL your past stuff :)
This was so informative; I took notes all throughout the video. Love your training. Customer of Discount Juicers for life - well worth having your ingenue and proven technicques.
you should do a dub or subtitle option easy way to double ur work
Very good info.😁
Chickweed is amazing!! So is purse lane! I got it from my neighbors lawn and introduced it to my garden too! 😂
interesting!
Hey John I love your videos and have been following you for years. I seen a video in the past where a guy you interviewed was growing wheat grass and he cured himself of cancer. If possible can tell me what episode that was I'd like to re-watch it again? Thanks again John for all you do.
What do you do with grow bags as that is what I am using. I have two 4 x 4 raised gardens that in 2021 at the end of year just set up. I put down cardboard , then branches from some trees, followed by leaves chopped up with lawnmower and added grass clippings. I also topped with compost and then chopped leaves and watered. First cold froze my raised beds as hard as the clay it was built on. I really like listening to your programs.
Thanks your information is elementary 🤠
0:16 what was that? Lmao
He doesn’t like to hurt animals so I guess he didn’t put his foot in a rat trap.
