Have you done a video on methods for saving seeds? In a SHTF where will you get seeds for planting? Thanks for sharing all you are doing, you really have me thinking.

[GoatHollow]

@Gabay54 LOL What a coincidence. I just got in a large order of seeds a few days ago, and am in the middle of taping a video, on how to store them. I'll include some info on saving seeds for you.

something only hinted at in the squarefoot gardening book, but of VITAL importance to the system working out is the addition of either ashes from a hardwood fire, or dolomitic lime *aka: dolomite*. his "mel's mix" is so acidic, as described in the book, that very few things can grow other than bluberries (food-wise that is) and a couple other low pH loving plants. dont add hydrated lime due to its caustic nature and rootburning potential. do plenty of pH tests, water OFTEN, and its a good system

@BoondockFarms I dump wood ashes into my garden all winter, never tested it though. It seems to grow things just fine LOL

I don't subscribe to these gardening systems. I prefer to just follow some general rules of thumb e.g. dig in manure in the spring, compost around the vegetables for moisture retention. Still, it certainly looks like you have produced some great vegetables - I am jealous! I also agree that self-sufficiency is the best response to more stringent economic times.

[GoatHollow]

I only wish I'd gotten about 5 times as much planted, Ivankinsman. Good luck!!!

[VivianRinSC]

Love the "GOOD STUFF!!!" lol. Just subscribed and will check out your gallery of vids. :) Started my square foot garden this year. More work upfront for me but in the long run I'm hoping it will be easier to maintain. Only problem is it went from 4 beds to now 10 and I want to make more because there's more plants I want to grow. I love variety in my diet. lol

[mashhammer]

Any problem with hilling your potatoes with "the good stuff"? Seems our potatoes end up scabby when they get too much compost. Growing climbing beans on a fence makes bean picking easy work, we don't bother with bush beans anymore.

I planted my first "4X4" garden and I am hooked. By this time next year, if we haven't gone back to my parents' homestead yet, I plan to have seven of them. It's the end of September, and I have lettuce and spinach growing like mad.

I like the new angle. Good to see that the spirit still burns

SqF is badass!
