I wish you were my neighbor too! John, I view your videos every weekend and now I use rock dust and compost. My cukes and tomatoes are prolific and sweet. I will continue building my soil to get better results on the rest of my fruits and vegetables! Thanks for sharing!

John you are such a great guy. I wish you were my neighbor. Then my currant plants wouldn't be dying ) : Anyway, I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. And yes, I started a little garden with berries & greens. But my poor red lake currant plants are dying. If you or anyone out there knows how to grow currant plants, please give me some tips. I used Foxfarm soil and put them in a 16" container. I used insecticidal soap to kill the red spider mites & fish emulsion to fertilize. Thx.
