you don't have problems with all sorts of pests eating or disturbing your planting?

Very inspiring video. I moved from California to Idaho and boy do I miss growing things

can you eat the flowers off of potatoes?

@fatpius -- My husband has fantasies about getting rid of all but a very small square of our lawn with ground covers and other plantings that don't need mowing. I tell him "Go for it!" -- after he finishes all the projects I have for him, of course. ; )

Hey John, Have you ever thought of running a aquaponics setup?

was a long time ago... when they first started selling in the USA. basically, the company screwed up my order. I emailed them and told them of the screw up. Evidently the rep forwarded my email to another rep (and accidently CCed me) and telling the other rep slandering me due to my request to make my order right. I probably saved the email somewhere. I thought the stuff was imported (?)

Love seeing your garden. Keep up the great work! I just wanted to say you have inspired me to put in drip irrigation and create another raised bed. Thanks for the great ideas!

@rawfoods isnt it made locally, not imported. btw, what was your experience?
-
@civildisorder44 It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defens

FOOD FREEDOM ALERT if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming. If accepted [S 510] would preclude the publics right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes . It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security

John, I love your enthusiasm and your message is SOOO important. As time goes on, getting people to grow their own food (in whatever capacity they can achieve) becomes more and more vital. It's one of the reasons I started documenting what I do on my channel, because I'm NOT a master gardener, yet I can grow and perserve a lot of my family's food. It definitely can be done!!!

growing your own food is so inexpensive i grew acres of food for 50$ or less
-
great! I have looked into EM before, but had a bad experience with the company that distributes it in the USA. I do believe in the stuff, and would do a show on it, if it were not for the "bad taste left in my mouth" from the company that imports it.

When I have enough spare buckets :)
-
Well not in my garden anyway :)

I think all varieties of marigolds would be edible. They do not taste the best, but they are high in luteins (good for your eyes). You can buy supplements (for alot of money) that contain lutein made from marigolds.. so why not just eat the flowers!
