Thank you so much. Even though I’m not in 2020 anymore, your videos are still a place of peace and tranquility. We live in Utah now (although most of our relatives are in the mid-Atlantic ( either PA, MD, or VA), so our main concern is watering. We don’t have as many pests, but my east coast relatives deal with pests like Japanese beetles. How do you handle various pests? You are a blessing! Louise Jacobs

Happy 66 th 💓. I love using pine mulch, I order it from a Nursery. I am in fl zone 9b, sandy soil I have to use lots of compost and wormcasting. This mulch holds the moisture, but am always willing to try anything that's better.
Thanks for the video 📹😀

I will try that bedding .... Love your place so beautiful that rake is great too gonna have to get one

[johnward]

I use leaver and lawn clippings. It breaks down and improves soil. I turn it under end of season. My soil was a lot of clay. Improved a lot oner the years using this process. Also it brought worms to my garden

[ricski]

I used a soil thermometer before adding mulch today. Bare soil was 90 degrees 2 1/2 inches down. Added a layer of dry grass clippings on top of newspaper and retested 4 hrs later. Still full sun and the temp went down to 75. Quite a difference mulching makes. That’ll help retain a lot of moisture !

Just found your channel. Please make a new video!!

Hi there, what happened to Fred's videos? I hope that you are well... I love your videos

[OSGCourtWatch]

Any issues with seeds in this shredded bedding or does that process truly eliminate the seeds (used regular straw 3 years ago and STILL get some grass popping up...)?

[lynnlovessoil]

Do you know if the straw is treated with a herbicide?

[Taai]

I have been using mulched leaves. It’s free to me because my neighbor has a huge pile that he is sharing with me 😃. It’s amazing how it brings in the worms and keeps the soil cool and moist! I have a question that might be good in the fall. I was wondering how you keep and store all your veggies for over the winter?
