  • would u recomment neem oil and pyrethrin concentrate to keep bugs and worms from eating up the crops? i heard they are really good products and all natural

  • @vidlover07 I'm afraid I don't have much experience with using sprays of any kind. I sprayed neem oil this year for the first time, but that was on some rose bushes to prevent black spot on the leaves. It seems to be working for that, however it ruins the blossoms if I get even a minute amount on the buds.

  • does it matter what kind do beans you grow i want to do this next year and see if it help please help thank you

  • @etxreabel The taste of bean varieties varies a LOT. My favoite is White half runners. Many people plant Blue Lake because they're easier to grow and process. They taste horrible to me in comparison to white half runners.

  • Hello, I have recently watched most of your videos and have been inspired to start my own garden. In doing so I have developed a few questions I cannot find answers to and figured you might know. Is there a reason why I should plant beans when the corn is about 1 1/2-2 feet tall like yours or does it not matter to much? Also, do the beans grow up the corn on their own? Thanks buddy.

  • @Stilldedicated22 Yep, 1 1/2-2 feet tall is the best. If the corn is shorter the beans are liable to overwhelm it. If the corn is taller then it will shade the beans a little too much and they won't do as well. The variety of bean I plant (white half runner) has no problem climbing the corn plant entirely on it's own with no help. I'd say any variety of pole bean will have no problem.

  • I did the same thing as this guy, but with my corn closer together and with 2 runner bean seeds for each plant. The beans have gone bonkers and I also planted some pumpkins which have been sorta successful.

  • Wow, I had no idea that corn gets suckers too!

  • @Blinkazoid wow i have having a major problem with that on a rose bush. black spot fungus, alot of the foliage have turned yellow and fallin off, this is the worst its ever looked in the years i had it =(

  • @Blinkazoid do the beans increase the health of the corn, supposedly the beans are nitrogen fixing because of the special roots that allow the growth of nitrogen fixing bacteria. please tell me, this is awesome!! thank you!

  • Hey....barefoot gardener!!!  Just like me!!

  • The pink t-shirt has got to go ;)
