Thanks for this! Long time fan and first time commenting (now that I got my own page up) I'm in the northeast Atlantic coast. Please let me know if you're speaking anywhere in the NJ/NY area.

COMING BACK TO NJ SOON

This boob reminds me of Glen from the movie The Ringer.

It was raining "literally" cats & dogs, huh? Learn the definition of literally. You are literally an idiot.

Hey John I been a Big Fan Of yours. I have 7 total raised beds from 4x4x12 to 8x16x12 here in NJ my neighbor behind me also has two raised beds. next time your here in south jersey stop on by. this you can check out my facebook pictures under josephtucci from Fontana ca. Happy Gardening Bro

I'm so happy that you came to my neck of the woods! I hope you come back so I can hear you speak and meet you! I'm such a BIG fan.

New Jersey IS NOT the Northeast. Folks from the northeast mostly HATE New Jersey, which is the worst of the Mid-Atlantic States, if not all of the states.

Jersey short didn't help. But FYI the Northeast starts at New Yorks Southern Border.

New England starts at Connecticut and RI's southern border.

Interesting episode but I think you are far too worried about a neighbor using pesticides. Such a thing is not the end of the world. At most you would get a small amount of drift, and what was not washed off by when you clean your produce. I was in pest control for 7 years, too much of this nation is scaring itself to death.

How much sun is too much sun?

Cut the trees down, that lawn isn't even nice to look out on too shady even for grass

Larry Hall altho', informative is a "Chatty Cathy."

Hey I love your channel, youre so wise I love your channel, but i think its time for HD video PLEASE

In the Northeast, a good way to build up the soil is, in the fall lay down 8 inches of salt marsh hay (no weed seeds), and cover it with 6 inches of manure and then sow winter rye grass on top, and water in thoroughly. The winter rye will grow about 2 1/2 feet high before the freezing weather kills it the dead gras and roots will hold all the moisture in, so in effect you are composting in place. If you till in the spring you will have great soil.

Nice to see somebody else from the Antelope Valley on here

I was thinking the same thing. Why doesn't John ever talk about about the RGGS? Been growing organically in it for several seasons and would never go back to any other system. John seriously needs to go visit Larry Hall and get him on this program!

woot woot! go new jersey (my home state)!!! you should come back here again and make a video with the group i volunteer with; we are called mevo (mahwah environmental volunteers organization). we have a farm to live program and we get a lot of land donated to us for various farming projects. i been working with the honey bees all summer!!!! for real make a video with us! we love your videos!!!

You're awesome John!!!

Just something funny. Right when you were saying about poison oak getting the kid, you were righttttttttttt in front of it! They really need to kill that stuff out! It wont go away on its own!

I am from NJ and I remember you saying you were going to be here. Also I build gardens and garden boxes PM me for pics of work.
