I'm glad you spoke on dog food because dog food is actually worse for them than organic grocery store produce for humans. The only thing is a species appropriate diet and ALL dogs are omnivores yes they are definitely carnivore dominant so I agree there should be veggies and greens in the dogs diet raw meat and bone are what the majority of their diet should consist of. Grains and carbs are NOT in a dogs diet and even the meat in dry food is processed to a point of almost no nutrition and freeze dried or raw is a much better way to go. To each their own but hopefully the topic of bagged dog food at least gets your viewers to research what they should eat. Although I do think meat and bone are more important than a veggie heavy diet.

Hey John, thumbs up on the video! I totally agree with you about what we feed our pets, and try to do the same... but I'm pretty sure I heard you say avocados, and then read onions as an ingredient, both are not good for dogs, I learned the hard way after mixing some of my homemade veggie soup in with my dogs food (organic, safe, never an issue before)... onions and garlic dehydrate dogs, and can cause problems. Luckily it wasn't serious and they were ok after a couple of days... just sharing some info :)

I've tried to give my dog lettuce and she won't touch it. She will eat fruits though and really enjoys them.

Some things to keep in mind when feeding your dog:

John you should check out some of the gardens in Alaska they would blow your mind chard to 3'-4' cabbage to 25+lbs go thru Alaska seed company.

John do you have an email that I could message you with. I have a couple of question with my compost that involves straw and chicken manure that I was hoping you could help me with. Appreciate any help, thank you

Well what stuff are you feeding your dog? The question is an important one. Dog food today is killing our dogs.

Love your authenticity John. I recall a video a while back when you were moved to tears explaining your love for what you do. I can not thank you enough brother for such positive vibes to all. I mayjust convert my garden to full aquaponics zone as a response

my next bed, I'm going to do it square foot style

Maybe people want to see what you feed your dog to get some ideas.........just like your garden videos. It shouldn't be such a surprise, John.

So you wash up on a deserted island and you find 10 edible, what plants would you want them to be?

Hey John, I love your hat, haha, where can I get one. I really do enjoy your shorter versions, thanks

Don't know but to me John seams like he was forced to do this video. He does not look as happy like he has with the other videos. Don't know if he is getting sick or just woke up but he looks a little off to me.

Agree. There is no perfect number everyone has to follow. It all depends on each individual's plant growth rate and full potential size due to soil and climate condition.

Dude I used to hate how long winded you were. However as I watched your videos I understand more and more what you are talking about. Keep it up bro!

59:00 ...

Are you still selling your shirts?

Thanks for this super information video on spacing. I relocated some of my bell peppers after this video because they were too close together! So I'm going to keep on growing! ;-)

Get rid of the tag on your hat, it bugs me....LOL

Great video!!! Grow Crazy buddy!!! :)
