I really enjoy your videos. I rather watch you than TV any day. Your gardening instructions are so easy. Thank you for taking the time to put them together.

I'm going to go out and plant some peas for the green manure. It's now October here in Georgia (USA) and perhaps I may be able to get a few peas before it turns too cold.

@eknow360 I agree whole-heartedly! Much better than tv; more like an Aussie friend showing ya how to do it....

God, I would love to live in Australia. I live in London and the winter here is sometimes very harsh for plants. If I live in Aus, I would plant everything all year round. What an amazing climate. Even the honeybee is thriving in australia, everywhere else they are dieing out in vast numbers due to pesticides,and disease, and mobile phone masts.

Move to Aus, it's wonderful... especially in north Queensland!

@spyknife, 3-1-10 I heard honeybees are dying but I was outside and noticed my apple tree is blooming and it is full of honeybees and mt friend 5 miles away keeps bees in his yard. So not dead in San Diego County, California USA.

chook manurs a great way to put nitrogeon in the soil

hang cds and pie tins to scare the birds-i wonder if wind chimes would work.

Here in southern Spain people grow fava beans (habas) to replenish the nitrogen in the soil. They almost grow by themselves and they don't get the little bugs that I always end up with when I try to grow peas or beans. People cook them with cured ham and onions, cook them and use them in omelettes or put them in stews. You can also dry them.

Thats great! nice instructions. Can I ask though why do you have such a high garden bed? most of the vegetables you have there are shallow rooted arent they?

[theproducegarden]

no, i grow my asparagus from larger tubers. im in rural victoria!

[dsunhope]

nice i agree fresh vegies are the best, do you grow asparagus from seeds? if so how. thanks

p.s. where are you growing from?

peace

[theproducegarden]

most beans do, legumes in general are great, blood/bone can be used or urea or lime, which sweetens up the soil for leafy green veg

[theproducegarden]

yeh, im stocking up my larder!

nope, i meant green manure crop, thats what we call them down here, we are a british colony after all, lol. just lettuce in there also, edible stuff only.

[therealorberon]

what are the other ways to put nitrogen back into the soil? do all types of beans do the same?

[vonhismean]

So are you stocking up now for the week or whatever of self sufficiency?

[newportlights]

Great videos, I enjoy learning from them. Question, when you say "green manure crops" do you mean green fertilizer crops? And, are the other grasses and such in the planter deliberately allowed to grow?

[greentxmama]

Great video...Didn't know that peas put nitrogen back into soil. Good to know! Tks!

[LadyXenu]
