Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Great soil health tips from Dan! His knowledge of soil biology, nutrients and amendments will help you understand how to have the best organic garden soil preparation possible! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant’s root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!

Minerals are very very very important for the plant Health as well as your and my health you know I’m kind of a fanatic and so I like to yeah I like to spoil my babies so they’re not a hybrid so you can save the pea seeds and not have to

Be buying pea seeds all the time the crops nowadays they don’t have near enough minerals in them because it the soil’s depleted it’s not like using synthetic fertilizers where you can really mess things up I putting too much on here we are hi welcome back to our organic gardening homesteading and woodworking

Channel nice to have you back again on the channel this time we’re going to talk about how to plant peas we’re going to go over how to plant them trellising them watering them how to fertilize them and a lot of other details before we get

To that we want to tell you uh what our next video is hopefully going to be about so what is it going to be about we’re going to be uh demonstrating how to bend conduit Hoops for a using for a roll cover for your brassas your cabbage cauliflower and broccoli plants and be

Planting those as well prepping the ground for those and so forth all that’s entailed in that so that’s the next one coming up hopefully yeah so it’ll be exciting I’m looking forward to that well let’s get to plant and peas here we go okay all right here we are at the place

Where we’re going to be planting Peas on this Tris first thing we’re going to you need to know is this is going to be a corn this is where I plant my corn it’s on the west side of the peach Tris so the corn will grow up and that’ll give

All afternoon shade to these peas peas are a cool uh crop that don’t like hot weather so with that corn growing up 6 Seven 8 ft here that Shades this this whole petol is really nice and keeps them cooler and they do a lot better

With a a little bit of shade and I’ve just used a stock panel for the trellis it’s I just cut a short section we kind of cut down the amount of peas we’re doing this year we don’t need so many we had a lot last year and uh so we’re just

Making a smaller deal this year and so we just plant a row on either side of the trellis and there’s a drip tape running right down along the base here oh yeah that’ll water there it is the uh two rows of peas and before we plant the peas we want to just pull

This Mulch off of here this has been on here for the winter just pull that back a little bit oh yeah and these are the pea seeds and those are saved from last year they’re not a hybrid so you can save the pea seeds and not have to be buying pea

Seeds all the time and these are the super sugar snap peas uh that we’re going to be using they they’re really sweet so what I do first is I just do a little prepping of the fertilizing you don’t really have to do the fertilizing but you know I’m kind of a fanatic and

So I like to yeah I like to spoil my babies so this is uh the dairy compost organic Dairy compost uh mixed with a little bit of kelp there’s probably oh in that bucket there might be a couple cups of kelp uh in there and then

There’s um a little bit of azomite in there probably maybe a cup of azomite and that’s for minerals same way with kelp it’s for minerals minerals are very very very important for the plant Health as well as your and my health uh we just uh the the crops nowadays they don’t

Have near enough minerals in them because it the soil’s depleted and so we want to get that back up there to a normal level they say in the last 50 years we’ve got uh We’ve drop the mineral content at least 50% of what it used to be in the food in the

Food that you buy in the store vegetables in the store so minerals are important so if this is mostly minerals there’s a little bit of uh just a little bit of bone meal here maybe a a cup of bone meal in here and uh there’s a

Little bit of green sand in there for potassium peas are fru plant and so you’re not trying to grow just greens like lettuce lettuce you can do more nitrogen but with something that’s actually producing fruit you want to have more potassium and the phosphorus for root development so that’s what I’ve

Kind of concentrated on this little mix I kind of make a custom mix for everything I do so I just go along and I just put a little bit of this where I’m going to be planting just sprinkle a little bit of this sounds like something else is

Sprinkling right now yeah starting rain a little bit of rain so here we go try to get this done before it downpours too much that be a short video no yeah so then I just take the hoe and I just kind of work that in the top couple inches

You don’t want to dig it in real deep you disturb all the biology in the soil so just kind of loosen that up so you can make a trench a little furl for the P seeds and gets that stuff down in there oops there’s a little root from a

Pepper plant last year here we go and so then I just take this along here make a little furl some people use strings and on that kind of thing to makx straight but after you done it a number of years you don’t really have to worry about such things

And so grab the P seeds and I like to put them about an inch apart just approximately it doesn’t care if they’re a little closer or a little further apart and just kind of sprinkle them in here and uh and if you look like you got a bad PC

That’s kind of shriveled up that’s not really fully developed just throw in another PE beside it so you have a a good crop of pece coming up so just something like that nothing fancy not hard and that’s all the rest of that and then grab the hoe and cover back up

There’s a little row of pea seeds and all right bring bring the dirt back around it on top of it just kind of put that on top and great big clumps or something you want to get out of the way you don’t want great big old dirt clot in

There and make sure they’re covered up good I’m probably just use my hand on this little short row there we go and then I like to tap them down so you have good contact with the seeds not an air pocket down there that’ll hinder their germination M there that row is done and

It stopped raining and it stopped raining what do you know yeah so then just go over this side and do the same pull the Mulch off same thing move the mulch out of the way these are chives down here by the way they just they just grow all year long

And we’re you see they’ve been chopped off we’ve been eating them they’re great for things at this time of year fresh greens so just put a little bit of this down here being that this is all organic stuff you don’t really have to worry about burning anything or it’s not like

Using synthetic fertilizers where you can really mess things up by putting too much on mhm so we never use never ever use synthetic fertilizers around here and maybe pretty soon I think we’re going to be uh able to supply you guys with amendments and stuff we’re getting a pretty EXC excited about business

Started up to supply that stuff to all you guys and uh hopefully we can beat the prices for everybody else so grab the seeds start plopping them in here again there we are yeah easy easiest can be and oh yeah it’s right to moon phase

For it too um the biod dnamic moon phase for fru and vegetables uh today and I think tomorrow is another maybe possibly Sunday I’m not sure but I think at least today and tomorrow we will put a link to the bodynamic Almond AC in the description

Down there so if you guys want to get a copy of yourself we’ll put a link to that so there’s the peas and once that’s peas are in I just give them a little shot of water get them on their ger way to germination is right now not really

Running the drip system yet we’re still getting enough rain and uh so I just do this to get them up and going and uh yeah that’s all this to it you can see around here there’s lettuce all coming up that’s all volunteer from last summer and and so it’ll be pretty

Shortly here we’ll be eating fresh green lettuce and red lettuce um yeah MH good stuff so that’s it for pee planting and uh hope that was helpful I hope all of you enjoyed those instructions on how to plant peas if you did please comment down in the comment section below give
