  • Great idea using the central rail and putting plastic over it, ill try this with my

    raised beds.

  • @MrBrianc1975

    It works very well and lets me get a head start in the spring.

  • it looks like you have a lot of shade in your garden?????

  • @webriter60

    No really, there is a pole in the yard that casts a shadow for a short time in spring but not there in summer.

  • I grew up in a family where we were always around a vegetable garden. My great grandma had a huge garden, and when she no longer grew a garden my grandma (who raised me) started gardening again. (guess who got to do most all the labor) I really enjoyed watching those fruits and vegetables grow. I have recently gotten into gardening myself and am regretting not paying more attention to the things they tried to teach me. ...What I am saying is thank you so very much for the advice and the vid!

  • Great Videos! One thing that I would definitely suggest to homesteaders in my region (northern ontario canada) is growing an apple tree. We have two apple trees and they produce thousands of apples every year! Smaller than in they are in the stores but still...Way more than we could possibly eat. We make homemade applesauce with the less than perfect ones and barter the better ones. One of these days i'm going to buy a juicer and open up a apple juice business.

  • How do u handle snails, cause i had lettuce before this closet to the ground but snails got em

  • Oh wow lamar! Didn't know you came out with these videos! Awesome!

  • Another great video! Thankyou Lamar!

  • Thank you so much for making these videos, I love the way you do things -- it's so practical, you break it down and make things out of stuff I never would have thought about.

    Episode idea I never see homesteaders discuss...

    I'm in Georgia, the problem here isn't heating but COOLING -- gets hot and humid here and stays that way for months. A sleeping loft like you have would probably be out of the question, even with a fan sucking the heat out, it would be too hot to sleep or hang out there.

  • Love your videos. You're an inspiration.

  • Lamar, I like the way you speak to people in a natural way. Very informative and good update. Looking forward to other videos.
