@GarysBestGardening - Thanks a bunch, Gary! Just a few days ago, I started listening to your CZcams videos after hearing Atom Bergstrom speak raves about your wisdom, insights, and skills. I have learned more on gardening from these, especially about the right soil composition, than whatever knowledge I've accumulated over the years.
There are the rare instances of Ph.Ds that have the deep knowledge, practical experience, and humility to evolve with ongoing developments - however I do agree that many of them are just too smart for their own good, and just continue to hold true that which isn't. Kudos on sticking with what actually works!
Thank you Gary! Your knowledge is much appreciated! Hope to visit the nursery sometime soon.
Thanks for this topic . I bought 15 gal low profile black tree containers and 12" galvanized metal water tubs with my stimulus check and this is my 4th year . Like you I learned by reading and experience . Grow what you like and is not a common inexpensive vegetable like Sicilian purple cauliflower or Japanese cucumbers to name a few . Even okra in the tubs is a great choice
Thanks much for this Container Culture topic. I recall you once talked about the difference between "raised" bed vs "elevated bed" with the concept of the "perched water table". My question: Can adding a wick to an "elevated" bed or pot/container to connect with the ground (or a sub-irrigation reservoir) eliminate the perched water table effect?
@GarysBestGardening do you have tips for overwintering in colder climates? Also, do you have comments on the air-pruning pot air-pot - it's a bit different than fabric pots?
I have large trees in my backyard. When I did down I hit root after root after root. Any suggestions, or is pot farming the solution?
With using top pot soil in pots, since it has no nutrients in it on its own, do plants and fruit trees for example avocado tree survive long enough for the fertilizer to reach it? And with using your soil, is something like osmocote time release enough with a little compost and mulch on top?
It will live, but might be hungry if you feed organic Fertilizer. You could see some yellowing etc. When I Fertilize I put some homegrown worm castings on top, they are full Of aerobic biology and help break down dry amendments faster. You could also use a liquid fish emulsion or hydrolysate.
Talking about pots and water saturation, you did not mention drainage holes in the bottom !!
I've had teak and mahogany planks lying in the dirt that got soaking wet every time it rained and did not rot after more than 5 years, still solid wood, even nails had a hard time pumcturing mahogany, at least this species of mahogany, not kiln dried.
osmocote says its released by temp not time 🤔
What’s that noise? Water? A machine?
sounds like cicadas
What's the noise at 14:36 ?
