very new to organic gardening and your videos are incredibly helpful to
me. Thank you!

Thanks for the thought. Realize water weights 8 lbs a gallon. That would be
wheeling over 400 lbs.

What about using some kind of wheels to get the water to the community
garden plot? A wagon?

Warning first:fermenting SN smell horribly, beware your neighbours may hate
you.Now:ferment process may take 2,3 weeks depand on the weather(temp).You
can use(4,5 days staff)spray before leaves and flowers start to grow on
fruit trees to protect from aphids and similar pests(3 times in 10 days
1:50 ratio). Extract (1kg fresh SN or 200g dry in 10l water let it stay for
12-24 hours) Spray(not diluted) on leaves and shoots on aphids(and similar
pests) both sides of leaves.

Hey John, there is a cabbage moth having lots of fun behind your back
laying caterpillar eggs all over your organic greens! I have those down
here too. What do you recommend for them?

Hi John, While I’m sitting here in my basement garden, watching my
Sunflower Greens grow, I’m waiting for my Omega 8004 juicer to arrive along
with my first supply of Wheat Grass seed. Okay, I realize I don’t have 3
stomachs like a cow and eating the grass isn’t such a good idea, BUT, what
about eating the Wheat Grass Pulp after it has been run through my 8004
juicer a time or two?

Canola oil in a small container around your plants will attract the earwigs
when they come out at night and they will crawl in and … well…. drown.
I don’t like to do it, but I’ve had a huge problem with earwigs this year
in my garden.

John, a lot of municipalities are now using CHLORAMINE instead of chlorine,
because it is more stable and is not volatile like chlorine. This means
that it cannot be removed by boiling, or leaving a tub of water outside.
Carbon filters are also not effected unless the flow rate is ludicrously
slow. It is chlroine + ammonia, and is toxic. Removing it is quite the
challenge. Best solution? Build a bigger rain water collection system.

You can get the chlorine out of your water by aerating it for 6 hours using
a simple pump/filter setup such as for a fish tank.

Hi John; I’ve recently read the “intelligent gardener” from steve solomon;
about soil analysis and remineralisation based on the results and the ideal
prairies of W. Albrecht. Have you read his book? What do you think about
his method. Thanks and kind regards.

Thank you Simon. Definitely not a drainage issue. Lol under my soil is pure
Florida sand. I’ll pick the tomatoes earlier for now and try the tarp thing
next time.

Only young leaves should be used because older develop gritty particles
called cystoliths which act as an irritatant to the kidneys.Nettles are
very nutritious food that is easily digested and high in minerals ( iron )
and vitamins (A,C). Curiosity = they contain high concentration of some
rare minerals especially titanium 80 ppm (other plants approx. 1 ppm).

To the guy asking about transporting water… What about four 1-gal.
Containers and a little red wagon?

I left the question about llama manure, worm castings and rock dust. Thank
you, this video did answer my question quite well. You talk about microbial
activity. What bacteria should we be looking for? Also, let’s say I have a
microscope. What bacteria would be detrimental to the health of my garden?
Thank you for being such a fountain of knowledge and graciously sharing it
with us.

I too have wondered about this. I would like to test my water (not only
from my Boogie Blue filter, but my Stealth RO reverse osmosis system).
