Hey Guys, I’m Brian from Next Level Gardening
Welcome to our online community! A place to be educated, inspired and hopefully entertained at the same time! A place where you can learn to grow your own food and become a better organic gardener. At the same time, a place to grow the beauty around you and stretch that imagination (that sometimes lies dormant, deep inside) through gardening.

I’m so glad you’re here!

WHERE TO FIND ME

Your book Companion planting for beginners is a treasure! Thank you!

[almostoily]

My crimson clover is blooming now!
I got seeds from the side of the road and have sprinkled them over where I want them every year. I mow around them. They aren't weeds to me!!
One day I will have a yard full of them 😂

I did basil, French marigolds, and onions for my tomatoes competition from your book😀

[RevLetaLee]

This is such great info. Your Experience with companion planting is a great resource for all. I have your book on companion planting but I learn even more by watching and hearing your voice. Somehow it sinks in even deeper into my brain. thank you.

Hi Brian. What a coincidence. I have planted parsley, lemon mint, cosmos and dill. Hopefully Tuesday i can plant some other companion plants. I used all the info that I watched this year on your channel to grow tomatoes and peppers. I have a temperature controlled cold frame. So my happy tomatoes and peppers went out in it today😊 One step closer to "playing in the dirt in the garden". Can't wait for your next show.😊

I’m planting square foot style in four 4x8 raised beds that we built. Already made one mistake. Peas with onions next to them. Appreciate all your information and I’m writing it down in my garden journal

I learned from you that Basil was great to thwart tomato worms, and for 3 years now, I've had practically zero, as opposed to before when I had too many to count. Works!

Crimson clover is also beneficial for soil erosion control on hilly terrain 😊

[wheelchairgardener]

You might want to try chocolate mint. Grows and looks like regular mint but dark stems. That and Corsican mint are my favorite. I use Corsican mint between pavers since it's so short with tiny leaves. Walking over them smells heavenly.

Spearmint or any mint is invasive. I got some from my moms yard that her husbands mother had planted back in the 50’s. I collect it for tea and medicinal purposes but keep it contained in an area. I did not know you could use vermiculite as seed starting soil, thanks!

[patkrueger]

I planted basil around my tomatoes last year and had no problem. I am doing lots of allyssum this year. Thanks for your great video as always

[stonehelm]

One of the most informative videos that I've watched in a long time.I appreciate the breakdown.Right now I look forward to many more educational videos like this as a gardener

[pjsviking]

You did it again Brian - concise, informative and a joy to watch - on repeat! Thanks as always 🌱👍🏻

[debgrouette]

I DID just get your book and I agree it is a game changer for me this year. Haven't really tried much companion planting but I am really looking forward to the mix. YAY! ..and thanks!

[mctpsdz]

FYI, I want to thank you talking about nasturtiums. I planted near my roses and for the first time ever had no aphids since.

[mctpsdz]

Something ate my new basil this year to the ground and left the parsley. Have to replant and put out Sluggo 🤞

[stormraven]

I absolutely love the Bootstrap Farmer trays!

[wildzenventures]

Live these videos! So helpful for us gardening beginners. I’m going to try some of these this year

[terrimarks]
