25 Responses to Should I Plant Flowers & Herbs to Attract Bees to my Vegetable Garden and more Gardening Q&A
OMG!!! My walmart had the round raised bed on clearance for $5. I bought
every one they had and was doing the Happy Dance in the parking lot.
You have some amazing videos with great information!! I would like to try
growing indoors. I’d like to try growing some salad greens during the
winter here in Minnesota. Baby greens I suppose!
omg look at the green beans in that raised bed, mmmmmm. im joining the navy
but i plan on doing my own self efficient homestead style of living after.
thanks for the tips
Hey John, yet another great video. You mentioned cardboard as a possible
garden container. I lined my garden pathways with cardboard which was
covered with tree mulch. I’ve heard that cardboard can draw termites. Is
there any truth to this? Thanks, Mike.
hello Harry I was wondering if you could maybe answer a question about the
wild flower seed mix. I live in Arizona and am curious if maybe i could
grow the partial shade mix under my trampoline. the sun does somewhat shine
through the fibers of the trampoline and am just wondering if the seed mix
grows like mad! thanks
So I have some watermelon, and eversince I put them there the bees from the
flower just alittle bit from there have been going to the watermelon and
just sitting on the dirt what does that mean what are they doing? “Urgent”
I’ve tried to get John to answer my question.(I do understand he can’t
answer all the questions we throw at him, so I’m fine with that!) Maybe one
of you can help? I started some kale in my yard last spring and it’s
holding up good with our winter here. I need to know how to cut it back and
when? Should I have cut it back in the fall? And from what I understand, it
will branch out where I cut it back. Is this right? Thanks for any input!
I’ve loved having it and have eaten from it many times!
@justgivemethetruth, that’s pretty well what everybody does with it. Soups
& smoothies. If you will google “green powder recipes” or something like
that, you will find lots of information, including recipes for making green
powder.

Sound advice! John, have you watched the Back to Eden video? If so, What is
your opinion on that type of gardening?

I use fermented seaweed fertilizer on my plants… EPIC growth! You should
try using it in different ways; as a mulch, fermented, in compost tea, etc.

At 2:42 he talks about dehydrating kale leaves and making green powders,
then says you add them to soups or waters? That’s it?

There are two good movies on honeybee issues…”Queen of the Sun” and
“Vanishing of the Bees”.
