How to Garden Like a Master Gardener

It isn't hard to garden like a master gardener. Master gardeners are considered gardening experts, but they are just regular gardeners who have had extra training. With a few simple tips, every gardener can become a master gardener. Gardener Scott discusses how to take your gardening to the next level by learning, practicing, and questioning gardening practices. (Video #150)

I feel like I could become a master gardener just watching your channel 🌱🌻

I am a Certified Master Gardener but never consider myself an expert or a Master of Gardening. I am always learning new methods and receiving tips on a daily basis. Love the YouTube gardening community. ❤️🌷

The thing that I find most interesting about the master gardener program is that its localized information.

I am a master gardener. Before taking the classes I had been gardening for decades and thought I knew a lot, I was shocked at how little I knew once I completed the training. My interest is in soil which is more complex than what I learned in the soil class. I have the least amount of interest in lawn management. I do not think I will ever understand all the plant diseases. I just keep learning.

THANK YOU ! for speaking on the classes I attended my Master Gardening classes too at Michigan State University. You’re absolutely correct Sir. I continue to study after my classes everything I can get my hands on along with success and failure (that taught me a lot) I still have all my BIG book and test papers 😅Thank you again.#Research

Experence is the best teacher, doing what works for you and some common sense.

[shawnsullivan]

I appreciate your humility and kindness sir. It almost feels like a rare trait these days, but it's something I've been striving for in my life.

Luckily we have YouTube these days! The info is here if we want it, and much easier to access and therefore achieve higher levels of expertise. This video was definitely a confidence boost.. thank you!

For Master Gardener certification should be based on your preference. Rather someone that truly masters vegetables or just perennials. Someone usually masters one thing before moving to the next. Colorado definitely is having a weird season. Last year we were growing in the ground third weekend of March. Me and my family have been growing veggies and fruit in our garden and green house for the last 5-6 years, and probably another 5 years with a hot house and garden before that.

This was a truly inspiring video and I thought for some days about in which area I might want to become an expert in one particular aspect of gardening. My first thought was to become an expert in tree pruning. However, after realizing my opportunities might be limited when it came to actually pruning trees, (as I would avoid any climbing or ladders), I hit upon propagation and learning all I can about how to propagate different species, starting with cuttings and working my way up to grafting. Or learning all about fungus, And cultivating mushrooms! So many different directions and I’m not sure where I might end up but in the meantime, I will explore!!

The great thing about gardening is that we are always learning.

My wife and I have been watching your videos recently about covering your vegetable garden with a thick layer of mulch to retain the moisture and for weed control. What is the procedure for planting and seeding in the following years? Do you rake off the mulch entirely to replant and seed, and then reapply once the plants and seeds are established? Do you have a video that shows what to do or how you do it? We are enjoying your videos and were also wondering what growing zone you are in. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your channel.

I had problem with bamboo. My Neighbor had a yard full of Bamboo. I have a 6 foot tall brick fence between his house and Mine. I put in a 25 foot driveway between my yard and his, and I had a small garden area on the far side of the 25 foot driveway. The bamboo roots made it way under the brick fence, and under the 25 foot driveway to the small flower bed. I contacted a Master Gardener, and asked him how to get the bamboo from invading my yard, and he responded by saying "Move". You will never get rid of it.

Double digging my garden plot I saw an earthworm do something I had never seen before. After I wrenched it out of the ground it laid still in a jagged profile. I've seen plenty worms disturbed before but never acted like this. Later that night I remembered how many snakes will play dead by going jagged. Snakes go flat and jagged to look dead and dried out. The only thing different in the worm was not going flat. But they have no skeleton so I doubt it would work. I'm no worm expert but I'm satisfied that's what I saw. A worm playing dead. Now I know what a mistake it was not to take a picture.

[claudialautenslager]

I do want you to know, that I did not move, and I got rid of the bamboo. All I did was every time a shoot shot up, I broke it off at the ground. Now this was large bamboo shoots the size of my wrist, and would grow a foot in a day. They all just disappeared after doing this everyday for a year.
