  • First Comment! They don't ship. You can purchase tree collard cuttings from bountifulgardens*org. Hopefully I will soon offer tree collard cuttings.

    I would like to know when you do, I have look high and low for it. I now have rock dust that I drove 2 hours to get! thanks for all you do

  • I love Spiral Gardens! That's where I got our dwarf lemon tree and blueberry bush. I'm glad you did this video to let us know that the plants look healthy. When I bought those plants I was just starting out with gardening, but I had a good feeling about the organization. I'm looking forward to going back and supporting my local non-profit nursery - I hope they still have the tree collards!

  • You are video producing machine. Keep up the good work!

  • @haiweigh John always recommends raised beds. If you're not doing that, you should look into sheet mulching and other "no till" gardening methods. Using sheet mulching to kill your sod would save you time and effort!

  • Spiral Gardens is awesome, great asset to the neighborhood

  • you should visit some places in n.carolina

  • John, this might not be the place for this question but I'd like to know your opinion.

    I have an area in my yard I'm converting to a garden area (about 800sq. ft.). Currently there's grass growing there. Should I till the lawn into the soil or remove the sod. I'm curious if the decomposition of the sod will adversely affect my veggies. What are the advantages of either route and I wonder WWJD (What Would John Do)? There are so many conflicting answers online.

  • I've been using milk and water bottles to start seeds in. Just cut them in half and drill holes in the bottom of them. I hate buying those plastic pots.

  • DID YOU SAY YOUR TREE COLLARD FLOWERED! Congrats hopefully it makes seeds! I wonder if they will be hybrid from the other collards and cabbage?
