This was such a good video. The best teachers are the laymen who are self taught. They seem to always be more passionate and enthusiastic. Thanks, John.

I love your enthusiasm! As a somewhat experienced gardener the best part was the filter and ways to accomplish it economically, a filter advantage was something I know but have not acted on, You got me there, thanks. Fully agree, it is the most important step, almost anywhere microbes will come, even more easily than worms, and it is important to create the environment that will foster and not limit them. Most of us gardeners hopefully get who does the real work in a garden. I agreed with everything you said, but am able to process it as a gardener. For example I may disagree with trace minerals importance which is dependent on your location. Something I might suggest as a universality is all the products you showed might overcomplicate (and overprice) things for some, so maybe qualify that all the improvements you do are not needed to be successful and what real differences they make, if you know by degree, separate from theoretical but that is your passion so you must include it. If there is a measured improvement in quality that is most compelling. Gotta get people gardening any way they can, it is a happy thing, but keep spreading important concepts!

Thanks for this wonderful teaching.

I rake up all the leaves in our yard, and both neighbors yards as well. It works out great because they think I'm doing them a favor lol!

In this new year I am going to feed my pecan trees. I have 3 different types. Half of them were bad this year. I now have rabbits so I can spread their manure around the trees too.

John I have been getting great results from something similar 22:46. I use a 2100W pressure washer to macerate cardboard. The pulp can be drained and stored dry for later use, worm beddings, compost, etc. Macerated cardboard can also be applied as a liquid mulch from the watering can. Have been applying a thin layer of liquid mulch over newly placed hay mulch. Very important to get some fresh compost down first, I will often add green manure seeds at this stage too. Works very well here as the thing that kills gardens here is the dry wind.

I absolutely LOVE the intensity, the enthusiasm, and the willingness to teach us! I am so stoked to start growing, and eating this spring!

I've been following you for many years now. You always inspired me to garden. Love the videos. It's great to get an updated video after all this time. So yes more master classes. It's summer here in Australia but it's been cool and wet after a few years of drought where I couldn't water my veg. Amazingly some just kept on growing. Months of no rain. The roots I left in the soil. The gardens lush this summer. I grow from seeds which took me a few years to figure out. I also collect my own seeds. I'm currently restocking my seed collection. Thankyou for all the years of information and motivation. Happy 2022. Love you.
