WHY MULCHING IS SO IMPORTANT

[Mytara100]

WOW Greg.. your acting and talking normal ...hahaha HEEEEAPS better video :-))))).....

[Gindeshanghai]

Cute Aussie gardener :-) "I Don't Think So" is especially cute!

[joydeepeads2009]

nice informative video. i've started very recently gardening and found that mulching is really helpful. i had a lawn where i used to grow peas and it was full of weeds. but then recently i've covered first papers and then put soil on top of that and then again some brows leaves/grass clippings and now i don't see those invaders. mulch is great i would say. cheers, joydeep

Hey Greg, at 3:00 what type of tree/plant is that in the pot? Its really nice looking, I want to put one on my patio here in Los Angles, do you think it would grow? Thanks for the awesome videos!

[ghostofpaulrevere]

@ghostofpaulrevere It reminds me of Plumeria.

[JosephW99]

[JacobButton]

Im all for mulching and do it in my own yard, but I recently done a clients yard mulched the front and back, it looks fantastic and her plants are doing well, but now, there is no work for me there as even in winter there is no weeds coming up so I've done myself out of a job!

[gregthegardener]

@JacobButton yeah, that is a downside :P

[S0NICM0US3]

[karmagirl74]

I think I need that in some of the plants on my balcony. They have grass growing out of them. I pull it out, but it keeps growing back!

[miles2057]

I was waiting for the, it's Greg the Gardener ooooooooooh yeah!!!! at the end.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

lol you snapped your fingers and the horse was like ok i'll come over and surprise you.

[SnowKitingVegan]

@FatGuyWithAKatana

I'm subscribed to a dozen of different channels & I see over and over that pets (dogs, cats, and now I see horses too) try to take human attention. When somebody is talking to a camera, cats, dogs etc, are pooling your attention away, trying to destruct you. What's going on? Why they do that? May be Greg's horse thinks that he is going crazy talking to a small box, instead of talking to another human. I think they used to see human talking to another human, not to a box.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

i just poop near the plants instead of using mulch

[tattooskin72]

we are having the hardest time with mulch and I think it's because we aren't using enough... far too light. Oh well. We have enough fallen trees that we could chip ourselves I guess.

[OlanRollin]

Iv an apple tree that is out of control and needs lopping, is there a rule of thumb safe amount i can cut without harming the tree? thanks bud!

[DackIsBack]

Mmmm Delicious Mulch...

[Thereminator101]

Father Stripy-gardener,I live in a Hot summer climate(Southern California)and I have problems knowing when to water my veggie garden.The plants seem to wilt easily in the heat...but its also easy to over-react and water to much.What is a good indication for watering in hot climates,and when you've watered to much? Mulching sounds like it might control the evaporation better and help with the crab-grass?

[GregsKitchen]

@Thereminator101 as long as the drainage is good, it doesn't matter how much water your garden gets, mulch will save you watering and stop the crab grass, keep it away from the stems though.

[Thereminator101]

@GregsKitchen  Thanks,I think the drainage is bad so it puts me in a narrow area as far as deciding when to water.I'll try the mulch.

[GregsKitchen]

@Thereminator101 you should add some corse potting mix and turn over the garden bed to make it drain better, try and raise it up above ground level a bit

[ChinnuWoW]

yue spelt "bite" rong lol

[thelowbudgetcompany]

Oh my gooosh! That horse is so, so, so cute!!! :D

[gordontarpley]

A shovel full of mulch keeps the flees off of my dog too. 

[PerennialPeace]

I like that horse. He's sweet.

[wordreet]

What a sweet animal! My garden is fully mulched. I almost never trim the grass, and if I do, I often don't clear up the cuttings. And the part where my mad plum trees live, is mega mulched with last years plums (that didn't get eaten) and leaves and any grass cuttings I manage to remember to pick up, and cat poo too.

[GodlessManitoban]

Question - Sheep's Manure, Good or bad?

[GregsKitchen]

@GodlessManitoban manure helps your plants while also adding humus to the soil, sheep manure is one of the best types of fertilizer, sheep manure contains more nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash than both horse and cow manure.

[GodlessManitoban]

@GregsKitchen

Thanks for the answer =)

[mylilsaffire]

so do you have to be careful of the type of mulch you use on the type of plants... ? are there some mulches that aren't good for certain types of plants...

[AuntieDiluvian]

I liked that very mulch, Gregiferous :)

[GregsKitchen]

@AuntieDiluvian lolol oh your so funny

[Gevedon]

Love mulch! We have an awesome mulch pile, it makes great dirt.

[GregsKitchen]

@Gevedon it does!

[TheRussianGamer93]

Hello Greg ! As always great video ! Loved the horsy !!!

1 question from your previous video.

What happens if I put to much Sempra!

For example I used 2grams in 10L of water!

I hope nothing bad or mom is going to chop my head off!

Wish you a great week Greg!

[GregsKitchen]

@TheRussianGamer93 no, it should be ok, i would stop worrying :)

[Drittkladden]

Great video, very inspiring =)

[shrikechan]

horse <3

[TruthSeekingElf]

Sooooo beautiful!!! Horsey!!! Horsey!!! He must have liked your energy. What a beautiful animal he is! Oh, and I LOVE mulch, love the smell of it, I could sniff bags of it all day long.....

[TheOtherSide100]

Is it good to keep the mulch away from the plant/tree to avoid rot?

My back area is getting weeds, so I'm gonna pull them and try mulch. Thanks!

[GregsKitchen]

@TheOtherSide100 put the mulch right over the weeds and save the trouble of weeding :) make sure it's 3 to 4 inches thick, no more, no less for best results
