Keep crushing
Big sifter would be handy
It sure is. I’ve got a big one and just use it for large amounts or soil. It makes a big mess.
Brother have followed you literally for over a decade at this point 😂😂 Damn I’m old. Na, just wanted to seriously give a Thank You to you. Finally got our own acre in the Bootheel of Missouri. Thanks to you and many others, usually turned on to them by you truthfully. But been here right at 2 years and finally getting my head out of my rear this year. But the most heartfelt Thank You to you. Planted the seed for gardening anywhere. #frontyardgarden
Beautiful
Pearls of wisdom thanks for sharing
Richard Perkins would be proud of you.
Good morning Curtis, sending lots of love and thanks from your North Thompson high altitude (2300m) gardening neighbors, your knowledge and wisdom are indespensible and are helping us immensely 😎🌎
you gardening at the top of sun peaks?
Have been growing blackberries & raspberries in zone 4-5 for many years. While I prefer blackberries taste wise, the raspberries are far and away a more prolific producer in an area that size, as well as much more cold hardy. You will get a much larger harvest from raspberries, consistently from year to year… not to mention more free, new plants than you may know what to do with! lol
Looking good!
Compost….Well mostly broken down leaves. Our town offers compost and its at that same stage. Mostly decomposed leaves.
Gardening is a battle for everyone, everywhere. Stay in the fight ! Lol
My biggest bed I have created is all berries (as for the term bed, that just a means a massive area that is fenced off from the deer, that I then create a space in and grow). One cannot have too many berries..
A hair of soil ontop is a nightmare for most but a dream for some plants lol. seaberry! When they entered Sweden, after the last ice age, they literally crawled their way in crevasses between rocks, in salty ice cold winds. they just had nothing to work with, I dont knpow if they even had soil! so they fix theiur own nitrogen and thrive without anything lol. and they are their own deer fence! also, that insane amount of rocks sucks in a lot of ways but there’s insane thermal mass there!You could make like small circles of rocks and then experiment with trees/shrubs that “shouldn’t” survive the winters there – the idea being that the rocks would store heat, during the day, that they then emit (?) during the night, and so the root zone would get some heating. I know heating isn’t the right word but whatever. I mean, the root zone is all that matters when plants are dormant so these stone circles + a thick layer of leaves might upgrade a few zones!
I have the same Dewalt Bluetooth speaker, its pretty sweet.
daaamn, those roots must have SICK amounts of nutrients…! love that the paths are packed – should mean that water should seep into the mounts instead of draining right through. dunno if this would make a lot of difference but I wonder if a slight elevation in the paths – with the mstill packed – would improve that even more. clover sounds awesome, it’s the favorite food of rabbits so maybe they will stay away from the strawberries!
That was super educational, thanks!
Very informative as always. Thank you.
Hope you have a great day Curtis!
Beast man! Just did a similar approach at our new spot. Didn’t use sand since we have a bit more soil but used mounds.
I really alighn with what you do.. Great work as always. I picked up some fraky 4-4-4 at che’s unicorncup on rosebud lake.
