Good point about the pets digging. I have a crazy dog that likes to dig, too. But worse, are the squirrels. Everything I planted, first the squirrels, then the dog, would dig up. So, yeah, I'm using welded wire "hardware cloth" to keep squirrels out. Another idea I successfully used this season, was to use containers, lay landscaping fabric on top of the soil, and put tumbled stones, like pebbles, on top of the fabric. Either the stones were too hard for the squirrels to move, or they didn't recognize it as dirt, and have left those containers alone. For the coming season, after watching several of your videos, I will probably add layers of newspaper with hardwood bark mulch to some of my areas as well. Thank you for your videos and passion for gardening.

John man I hope that by some chance you stumble upon my question here and help!! I am growing a bunch of hydroponic veggies and the leaves are getting burnt crispy on the outside only and not on the new growth! They seem to turn a dark purplish brown and slowly wilt and seem generally unhappy man. I need to k ow what I am doing wrong I am getting very discouraged by this!! I have all the recommended nutrients and I invested a lot of time and money and don't seem to get rewarding results. I'm hanging by a small thread of despair and really need help! What's causing the leaves to do this and why is the growth slow? I am using flora series nutrients in DWC with very expensive t5 lighting and co2 dispenser for the air and the temp of the water is kept to about 65-75 on average 70 degrees F. Any recommendations would be really a big do or don't for my future in gardening. :(

Try this mix John ; its a little costly but works wonders : This soil is used only on bottom (half) of a container or as a layer.*The top layer is Base soil and perlite only with 5-15 gallon potter* Put in a large trashcan wet down and let it sit for 2 weeks sealed up in the sun before u use the mix . Flower beds and raised beds go nuts also with this mix 8 large bags of a high-quality organic potting soil with coco fiber and mycorrhizae (i.e., your base soil) 12Cu/ft 25 to 50 lbs of organic worm castings 5 lbs steamed bone meal 5 lbs Bloom bat guano 5 lbs blood meal 3 lbs rock phosphate ¾ cup Epson salts ½ cup sweet lime (dolomite) ½ cup azomite (trace elements) 2 tbsp powdered humic acid

Do we need to buy a BPA free plastic container?? Do you think that normal container might interact with the soil and compost and transfer to our food?? I want to start growing some organic produce but I live in a small apartment and the balcony is so small too. But I want to try to grow at least 2 types of veggies but I dont know how to start. Can you tell me what are the basics I need to purchase in order to grow heathy oeganic produce? Do I need products other than a compost? Like organic pesticides etc ??
