👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

  1. I have high blood pressure and i LOVE burdock i have grown some aroumd my window i hope they come back up cause their bi perennial and its high in zinc too and i have androgenetic alopecia and it helps me alot but its considered invasive but i live in north texas and its never escaped anywhere so i asked if burdock was invasive of course AI said yes but then i typed is corn invasive and it said no because "its beneficial humans" and as a true biologist this condtradiction made me upset but made me laugh cause it dosent really matter if it beneficial to humans a monoculture of anything is invasive and ecologically non beneficial to ecosystems i just found the contradiction funny. AI definitely has a long way to go but of course tid be biased because the speices that makes it is also biased and is the equivalent to using Wikipedia for information.

  2. I will comment in a minute.
    WNC.
    Now that I watched the video.
    You are so correct on cutting gpt to shreds. I will follow you and what I know is right for my dirty hands. Weeds are in my opinion just undesirable plants. I know exactly what you mean as to light soil and nutrients. I know how to look at plants and try to understand what they are doing. Yes I am weird but to understand how nature works you must see the bigger picture.
    Thank you for getting into the AI thing. It's not for me. My brother is already in to it. Different apples from the same tree.
    Thank you as always for thinking about cutting edges. It is like a knife.
    Truly appreciate it.
    WNC.

  3. Two years now slugs have been doing some serious damage. I usually water at night because of time. This year I'm trying watering in the morning.

  4. Best way to start gardening is soew some seeds in dirt all this advice is gonna make you overthink what is in actuality a simple process.. remember they were farming
    when Jesus walked the earth before soil testers were invented

  5. Growing micro greens I would throw the seeds that hit the floor into the yard and alot of them just grew on their own …rain and sun will do most of the work don't believe the Internet

  6. I have a question on mulching. I was spooked by a professor who told me that if I used wood chips as mulch it would nitrogen lock my soil from the excess carbon and it would stunt my plants growth. If this is true, what can we use as a natural mulch that won't hinder plant growth…or is this just hooey?

  7. ChatGPT is a tool that can process a textbook and break it down into simpler terms, making it more accessible for those without a college education. However, it has limitations and won’t do everything for you. You still need to know how to use it effectively.

  8. Start small said no one ever – common sense out the window for many of us 🤣
    My marigolds I started way too soon in January are looking great btw.🤣

  9. 75% 🐂 💩 eh? Conservative estimate right? If I had to guess they fed that bull that sprayed hay too!, so if you put that 💩 in your garden nothing will grow.

  10. Met a old gardener that in 4 years of seeing what was probably the finest garden that I've witnessed not once did I see him watering.
    He told me only water at planting time was his normal and if he decided it ready did need water it would be heavy as to encourage deep roots growth and he had a good selection of veggies something to be proud of.
    Not surprised as he gifted most veggies as his wife had passed add he didn't can many but love his garden.
    I'm following sunflowers with tomatoes and don't use 1/3 the water as my other method of gardening and I've tested several (6) other methods.Sunflower cover crop is most productive ( I don't fitlezer ) ,

  11. Totally disagree about the zone thing. Spending your whole growing season nurturing a plant that isnt going to fruit in your zone is a waste of time and discouraging.

  12. As with everything, one's unique situation will factor in what each gardeners priorities are going to be. I generally done fine without mulching but I definitely been doing it if I were in a dryer climate so in need the moisture retention. There still benefits I could take but feel like effort on it be about equal to efforts saved. This one of issues with trying to sum things up in such short little snippets. PH while important, gpt putting that as #1 demonstrates ai's limitations. It doesn't "understand" the information it just recognizing patterns within a big pool of data (the internet which also contains alot of crap info) and spewing that back. If you might want to grow someplace where grass has a hard time growing then it be a good idea to test ph as it might be overly acidic or alkiline but if you got grass growing decently your soil will be an acceptable ph range. Also if growing using purchased soil or potting mixes those will be of a generally acceptable ph range. So while ph matters greatly to a plant most often one is going to be within the acceptable range.

    With regards to watering , like person with slug issue I can get slugs in my garden so watering particular late is not good, nor am I an early riser to water early am , and consider it not ideal to water in hottest part of day so I will typically water between 9-11am or between 3-7pm. I try to have some sun but not peak sun so foilage can dry but not burn. As nature waters from above, I do not have a huge issue with doing so just it not really where the plant needs it so it not what I aim to do.

  13. In all fairness to chat gbt, as much as I hate AI, Ashley didn't tell the AI was what type of gardening it was giving advice for. Therefore it gave advice for ALL gardening.

  14. If I could get into my hoop house…snow! Snow! SNOW! …so best thing I've done is buy used food grade 1000 litre totes for rain water. I have to pay for my water and it saves me beaucoup $$$$. My municipality has water restrictions in place June to August, to water every other day. In drought, no watering! I can water whenever I want and not pay for it. The rain water also has a more neutral pH compared to the community well water. I have 5 totes acquired over 15 years. Three are on raised platforms, covered to keep out algae growth and mosquitos and downspouts are directed into them. I use a water pump and can attach timers and irrigation lines as needed.

  15. Aren't native passionflower pretty easy to grow? Like, to the point of being problematic if you don't keep them under control.?🤔

  16. Dear Ashley, are you going to hold some kind of event where your geeks can come and meet you? I'm in central Ohio, USA; and I'd love to see you in person?

  17. I have ADHD. I listen to my videos at 2x speed. Listening to you ar 2x speed is like a sport. Kinda my favorite!😅 thank you keep up the great content.

  18. Definitely not a good prompt and you want to use the reasoning feature to get more accurate answers.
    Prompt engineering is an art but generally you need to give it an identity, context, action, success threshold and rules.
    Just fyi because I do believe it can be a useful tool for most professions.

  19. I didnt start small I went balls to the wall…and still 4 yrs later just bigger almost outta yard..im not slowing down for anything!!

  20. Thanks for the clear explanation and information in your videos Ashley. Easy to listen to without falling asleep. Appreciate the work that goes into your channel.

  21. Gardeners…. don't be using AI for frivolous reasons. It uses a ton of electricity and water. Just google these kinds of questions on the internet…that uses way less resources.
