GardenGirl – is goat poop a good fertilizer like rabbit poop, or will it burn the roots?
great…
She’s cute.
nicely done video.
the corn plants looked a little too small compared to the beans.. the corn needs to be 4-5 inches tall before you plant the beans.
you should buy Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long, by Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch. Eliot is from Maine and has a harvest all year round. alternately there’s a book called The Earth Sheltered Solar Greenhouse Book by Mike Oehler, which would be good if you had any property.
there’s a book on amazon called How to Grow More Vegetables and Fruits (and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine… it’s a good book & tells you how to grow things organically & help build up your soil. you can also get All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less Space! – it’s simple for beginners.
Thanks for this great video. I am just redoing my veggie garden (after the chooks got in and demolished it) and was planting corn and beans together but hadn’t heard of putting in squash too.
I am going to give this a go now. – Bami from Oz
Very nice !! Very good cinematography
It’s great what you’re doing but if you have to turn your raised bed to plant then you’re doing something wrong. It should be friable enough that such a process is unnecessary. The idea of the raised beds is to NOT have to do such things. My recommendation, make CERTAIN you’ve put a good layer of mulch on top of it for the none growing season. The manure should be added at the end of the season underneath the mulch, rabbit or not, so it is immediately available to the plants in the spring.
Wow great channel

I was wondering i live in nyc, can i bring in my vegetable garden in to my apartment and keep growing them, when the fall and colder weather comes? thanks
Thank You for sharing. That is some very valuable information. Have you heard of or considered trying a no till method? There are many benefits that accompany it. For one you don’t disturb all of the beneficial organisms that if left alone will basically till the soil for you. They also produce glomulin which is a natural form of storing carbon as well as making enzymes that help maintain soil health.
i have to say. all your vids an all your tips are so helpful. im planning on doing this next growing season, but with chicken poop. also, your chicken vids really help me when i got m chicks two weeks ago. keep up the good work
keep up the GREAT WORK

I am useless at gardening. Patti gets me motivated to sit and watch more of her brilliant vids lol
I always love these video updates. Great production and gardening tips. Thanks!
Atta girl.
your video is beautifully done, thankyou!
Interesting combo so close together. I was going to ask about the hand tools you were using. They look much sturdier than what is sold locally.
Hey Patti, you dropped a little something there at the end. You might want to run back and grab it before that dog relieves himself on it…
