Where do I buy these red worms.
Miss Morag, I also live in a subtropical climate though slightly different from yours I think. I get frosts from time to time from Nov. thru early March, some times none, sometimes more. I think the lowest I have ever seen is 20F (-6C), but it quickly warms up at sunrise, the ground never freezes. My questions to you is, can some of these perennials that you recommend on your channel survive this and do you also get an occasional frost where you are located there in Oz? This would help tremendously while viewing your channel.
Thank you for sharing your methods, I have adopted some of the methods and ideas , and tried a few changes with varying results here in the UK, but number one is diversity for me on my plot
As someone who has been gardening for a long time but also always a student, I know that when I watch /listen to other gardeners' videos here I will hear/see a lot of information I already know. However, there is always at least one thing that I learn. As usual 🙂 I learned several things from this video. However, the one thing you said that really just jumped out at me was about using the self-seeding plants as an indicator of when to plant similar type plants in your garden. I thought that was brilliant and I've never thought of that before (or heard it put that way anywhere else, either). Thanks for that tip especially…as well as all the other wonderful tidbits of information and tips here. Love your videos. Supposed to be really cold here in north Texas for the next few nights (way below our average). So ready for spring.
Hi Morag. I love your tips. One thing that always confuses me is when to plant the seeds of my own produce. For instance, my pumpkins are ready for picking now and have lots of lovely seeds but, usually we don't "plant" pumpkin until spring/summer. If I put a chunk of pumpkin with seeds into my no dig bed now, will they wait until spring/summer to sprout?
Edible Canna? I am now obsessed with finding this!!!🥰
Thank you for the great videos and all your tips. I live in South Africa in the western Cape in a place called Teniqua Treetops Lodge. My question is, how would you deal with vervet monkeys that literally raid fruit and veggie gardens, but they are quite rude? They pull everything up by the roots, take one bite out of an apple they tear off the tree, then move on to berries or anything else they want to taste. Or dogs that have no idea about how to walk through a garden LOL? My answer is shade-cloth tunnels, but they aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing or bird and insect friendly. We have even put netting over our orchard, but at least insects can get in.
Gap filling! I do that too
Mulch in place 👍🏻
The birds that eat the "pest" insects, eat the "beneficial" insects as well. I don't agree with the pest vs beneficial idea.
The so called pests are good indicators of plant health because they attack the weak plants first.
The trick is to promote plant health and a properly balanced diversity of animals.
Hi Morag. Is the masterclass on nurturing soil life you are referring to #10 (composting) ?
Loving allllll of your tips Morag! I’ve started planting comfrey all around, am propagating trees and herbs, and am starting to plant seeds to add more depth/height/habitat to my garden!! Thank you so much.
I hope the fires didn't effect you
Morag, I really wish i could pay for your teaching course. Presently not able as on low income
Thank you.
Masanobu Fukuoka's do nothing farming practice is what brought me into this whole thing!
I'm so excited to cook pumpkin leaves now! I have an heirloom pumpkin. Are there any varieties where the leaves aren't edible?
Educate people also on the dangers of comfrey while you are at it please. FDA has banned it in the USA.
Some plants are invasive. Most herbs are and they can consume your garden.
Although wild life is good and are part of the eco system they also eat and destroy a garden. If you are trying to grow a garden you cannot afford for pest to eat your garden.
You do not always want things to self seed. Again, Some plants are invasive and they can consume your garden.
Grow what you need and can use unless you are a market gardener.
Rotting food that has self seeded can cause problems too. Compost piles of animal manure and food scraps can also smell and cause problems with you neighbors as well as attract vermin and other pets.
Have both perennial and annual garlanding is good but only in needed quantities that you like and use or your growing and maintaining (?) waste.
Knowing plants and trees that are hardy for your growing zone and suggested planting dates
Get a seed book or plant selling books and study before you plant.
Study and plan.
You can add other METHODS as you go. companion, succession, square foot, extending the harvest season, crowd/intensive growing, forging on wild edible plants and herbal medicine.
Know what your eating before you put it in your mouth or on your body.
A garden is a peaceful space in which you can see the fruit of your labor and do share the skills and harvest with others.
Happy gardening
I have recently moved to the country and started a garden. You have inspired and taught me. Thank you
My next project is a worm tower 😁
So refreshing great advice thx again
Thanks I learn from you🍎
I just love to listen to your voice. I become so relaxed. Of course I learn a lot too!!
Great video! Just wondering, which non-invasive species of comfrey do you use in your garden? I’ve managed to source and sprout some True Comfrey (Symphytum officinal), is this an invasive variety?
Thank you morag from Perth 😊
I have the problem of my squash and pumpkins cross pollinating. How do you keep this from happening? Quite a few times I have allowed a self-seeded pumpkin plant to stay, only to have it take up a ton of space in the garden but never produce a good fruit, or produce some kind of weird pumpkin-like fruit that isn't very yummy to eat. Do you only have one type of squash/pumpkin from each family that would cross pollinate? That would be a little sad for me because I love butternut squash and pumpkins, but they are in a family that cross-pollinate.
Just noticed your son is holding a drum in the picture. That is awesome Morag! I would be so proud! You have 2 wonderful kids and they are so lucky to have such an awesome mom! 😊
I get those large birds in the picture of no. 3 come and eat my cherry tomatoes, need to put a bird bath in
Just ordered some seeds for perennials, also after walking onions and perennial leeks. But i perennialised my potatoes by accidentally not digging them all up
So good. Thank you. ❤️🙏🏼
Comfrey is no longer sold in the U.S., except in creams or ointments. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Germany also have banned the sale of oral products containing comfrey. The dangerous substances in comfrey are also absorbed through the skin, so harmful amounts may build up in the body.
My kale plants lasted over two years & I picked leaves almost daily. They would have lasted longer, except for an unexpected garden tragedy.
Your a gifted teacher morag love at you
🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞
Great 👍 👌
These videos are great!! Thank u so much!!!
If you could rearrange this master class playlist to the first videos in order instead of the newest. Thanks much
