    Good to see a young fellow so interested and committed to gardening. Wish I was like that when I was younger. Just goes to say “we get too soon old and to late smart.” At least that is true for me!

        Im not having much success, first of all I can only grow veg in a green house. I tried a PVC one, it had condensation in it and all my little shoots died, so I sent the green house back. Then I brought another sturdier green house, which was badly designed and just sent that back. Which is the best green house to have? plastic, or glass, or Aluminiuim?

          Plastic would be best for a green house, look for a tube plastic. This is a dual layer plastic that you can get a small blowe ti inflate thus insulating it with ari, very efficient covering for any green house that must be heated by some form.

          Reply Reply November 18, 2014

          Hi Dom, Roger has a good point and I’d suggest going with plastic as well. Not every house has to be heated and if so you wouldn’t need the double layer of plastic. This would depend on how serious you are, where you live, and what you would like to do. We live in TN and grow straight through the winter under unheated plastic greenhouses.

      Hi Colleen – great question! The two tips were not necessarily specific for feeding the soil, but for keeping your soil healthy. The one like you mentioned was to add organic matter and the second one was to make sure to keep your soil loose so that air and water can flow freely through it. Thanks for asking!

    I really enjoyed watching the video. It has inspired me to try having a garden, even though I still have no yard, and live in crowded city. I’m going to do it with containers, and do a vertical garden, to be able to grow more than just a couple of things. The patio is 6×12, and has a 9 square foot HVAC, sitting at one corner. Until we get a house with a yard, I have been putting it off. Now I will do it this way, and take it with us when we move. There are times I regret moving out of Arkansas, because, I had a garden when I lived there. Keep encouraging people, from children to seniors. I believe everyone should have one. If they did, the would have less stress, and be a lot happier.

    Fantastic presentation! It is good to hear that you have been instilled with the respect for God and courage to share it. The garden is a great place to discover some of the blessings that God has provided. I personally have been gardening since i was a child with my father. I found after marriage that i was in a slump and was wrapped up in television. My wife nudged me to get out and garden to work off the anxiety of the day in the field of Architecture. I have seriously worked at a garden for my little family for at least 13 years. Praise be to God that i delved into the gardening.
    This year has been bountiful and the garden still looks like a spring garden thanks to the mild temps and good moisture.

    Looking forward to your webinar.

    What a joy to see a young man living in accordance to God’s plan for mankind “to dress it and to keep it.” If all mankind just heeded that simple Biblical teaching, there would be no wars, people would be far healthier, far happier. God’s blessings show in this young man. Short story–working in Iraq, I had a head injury and heavy exposure to toxins via “everything” (metals, plastics, etc) thrown into the nearby burn pits …which damaged my lungs, cardiovascular, and neurological systems. Doctors could not help and the meds they prescribed worsened my physical condition. I took myself off their prescriptions, was told about and began taking resveratrol (grape extract) and initially unable to walk more than 20 feet with 2 days recovery time to heal, began gardening. Slow, steady, significant healing progress, over 7 years. Not only do we eat much from what we grow, but some of the weeds are also heavily laden with nutrients, such as lambs quarters and dandelion greens. Many younger co-workers exposed to the same burn pit toxins are now dead from cancers. I am alive and can joyously garden for hours at a time. Only heat causes re-arranging of “outside” schedule. God gives us everything we need. All we need do is actively care for His creations and appreciate His blessings. This young man IS a wonderful example of being a blessing to humanity–sharing the knowledge of “feeding the soil” and reaping the blessings. Thank you for a fine video.

    I have learned on our island, where the sandy soil is often blamed, to not plant without helping the soil first. I planted caliloo (spelling?) (greens common in Jamaica and somewhat here) two places and one prospered and the other didn’t. The prospering one had had kitchen garbage and manure buried in it. Rowena Steck

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for all your great tips! I am enjoying checking out all your videos and would love to come up and see your families garden sometime. I just thought I would share our experience with gardening that we had last year. My husband and I along with the help of my Mom, planted our first garden last year. My Mom has been doing a garden for a few years now but she was doing it a bit different than we did. We built raised beds and purchased a truckload of organic garden soil from a nearby company that has wood chips, and all sorts of other things. We planted tomatoes, carrots, peppers, cherry tomatoes, some herbs, cream zippers and strawberries in our raised beds and my mom had green beans, corn, okra, squash, and more tomatoes & peppers in her garden which was just in the ground that was tilled up. She also already had blueberries & grapes planted in between her garden area and ours. We put wood chips on top of our soil in the raised beds after we planted our plants. We also added wood chips all around the raised beds and the blueberries & grapes and they all did wonderful! The areas that didn’t have the wood chips did not do as well. The plants were much healthier and the food seemed to have excellent flavor. I’m not sure if it was all because of the wood chips or if it had to do with our raised beds having all organic garden soil. Either way, it was great! We are looking forward to doing it all again this year. I hope you guys have a very blessed year as well and look forward to more info from your site.

    Blessings!

      Hi Amy,

      Thanks so much for sharing! I love hearing about your garden and would love to have you all come by and visit sometime. That’s great to hear about your experience using the wood chips. Mulch like that can definitely be a blessing. We’ve seen it work well in our flower beds. I haven’t actually tried the wood mulch in our vegetable garden yet – but would love to. And yes, the healthy plants and great flavor could definitely be due at least in part to the mulch. It’s probably a combination of both though – the good organic garden soil, plus the mulch on top.

      Keep up the good work! It’s a blessing to hear from you about your experience!

    Thank you for some nice ideas! I plan to scratch my soil much earlier, and to emphasize GMO-free over cost. I have had my whole yard as a small plot garden in sandy loam for a few decades, and change or add something small each year. Looked more into permaculture, and have mulched with 4 layers of newspaper under grass clippings but can’t do wood chips with my builder husband concerned about termites or carpenter ants. Recently saw a neat idea to use compost bins like raised beds that give off enough heat to keep seedling trays warm and also the greenhouse. My greenhouses are large pots covered with tomato cage and double wall of contractor trash bags.

    Dear Paul,
    So simple almost hard to believe. We struggle in Ok to have a productive garden because our NW part of state is usually very dry and hot. Last year we started the mulch and wood chips it has made a great difference but because the cedar wood chips were fresh even though we layered them on top it robbed the soil of nitrogen. This year is better because we have had some wonderful rains. Billie

    I enjoyed, and agreed with what you said. Curiosity is killing me. How do you grow plants, that do better in direct sunlight, in a hoop house? It looks like it would filter the sunlight. I ask because, my medications have warnings to stay out of direct sunlight, and I am considering purchasing a hoop house, so that I can grow my garden. How hot does one get, and can they be used during the harsh winters?

    • Paul

      Reply Reply November 6, 2015

      Hey Jonnie,
      Great question! Well, first of all – a hoop house simply has one layer of plastic over it so it still gets what we would consider as direct sunlight. You could put a shade cloth over it too which would filter the sunlight more. Now, even with the plastic the sun is slightly filtered but I’m not sure how it would be considered when it comes to your medications. I hope you can get something that works! There’s nothing like working out in the soil. And yes, they can get fairly warm inside. Even when it’s freezing outside on a sunny day it can get up to 50-70 degrees F inside. And they can definitely be used even in harsh winters. Now depending on how much snow you get it could be a little more complicated as you’ll need to keep the snow shoveled away from it. Hope this helps!

    What a great start to your new “Born to Grow University”! I have just purchased 5 acres here in TN, but there are a lot trees that have to be cleared before I can have space for a garden. I have been thinking about container gardens for a start, but with so many trees, I am concerned about enough sun light for a good crop.

    Thanks Paul,
    Nice video, information and encouragement! This will be our 6th year on this property. Previous owners said it was impossible to grow anything here, tested the soil and it came up 0 for everything! It’s been a struggle but persevering in building up the soil like you talked about and looking forward to what the results will be this year. It is an activity full of life lessons to be sure! Last year the strawberries were indescribably amazingly delicious – the deer thought so too and ate all of our organic plants… including the savoy cabbages and green beans. I do wish I could follow your advice to keep it small… sigh.

    i’m an agriculture student at Mountain View College, almost to graduate. But i stop studying my course 2 years ago already. i have a lot of fears and i don’t have confidence, because every time i do gardening, most of my plants die. it seems that agriculture is not my field perhaps i made a wrong decision when i enrolled to college. but i really love gardening. after i stop my schooling, i join missionary work as a Bible Worker assigned in Metro Manila for almost 2 years. i enjoy working with Lord. but the more i engage this kind of work, the more also i appreciate my course.

    I loved this 5 Keys presentation even though I am not physically able to garden myself. My daughter lives in Tehachapi Valley between Mojave and Bakersfield in So. California at 4500 feet. She is a ‘kept’ wife so has time to commit to serious gardening at least 6 days a week (and she has the tan to prove it). She was determined to do organic gardening so she could provide almost 100% of her family’s fresh and preserved food year around — The soil needed a lot of amendments. She first established a vegetarian compost pile which the mice and voles thought was a picnic, so she purchased a composter which is sealed. Then she began using the “Back To Eden” method of disturbing the soil as little as possible, topping it with mulch, inserting her seed into the soil, and topping it all off with ‘whole-tree’ wood chips — not landscaping bark chips. This has worked very well for her for several years with the least amount of weeds. This year, though, has been different for her, because living close to the mountains has brought a lot of weeds. She wanted to aerate her soil, so she sent away for a lot of Night Crawler worms (they burrow more deeply than the others) and her semi-desert soil is just loamy, dark and beautiful now. The wood chips work like little sponges holding moisture from humidity and even arid desert air. The secret of using ‘whole-tree’ wood chips is to first feed the soil, plant, mulch, and apply the wood chips last. Do not till them into the soil for that robs the nitrogen and your crop will fail. If you have applied wood chips in that area before, just push some out of the way, poke your seed into the soil under the mulch and spread the remaining chips over the area again. If you need more chips, just add new chips to the top. Her husband found a source for good mulch and ‘whole-tree’ wood chips in Bakersfield, so he and his trailer keep her well supplied — she is gardening in three large beds on their property, and if watering is needed she uses their pure well water, but the chips mostly keep the soil damp without additional watering even during this drought — very good for a state that demands water rationing. Their raspberries, boyenberrys, black and strawberries are a bumper crop this year. You name it and they are growing it (except for the Macha and other strange crops you mentioned). She is considering purchasing the organic Medicinal Garden Kit from Food 4 Patriots, to start her own old fashioned treatments right from her herb garden. She also has cherry, apricot, peach, apple and nectarine trees that are very happy. The grape vines are growing across the edge of the long deck roof and are delicious if you can get to them before the birds do. Speaking of grapes, DO NOT mulch them or toss your grass clippings under them — they will get a fungus and not bear. Remember, they are native to the Middle East where it is dry and nobody mulches. Also if you just pile up the grass clippings, they will harbor a bumper crop of flies — we learned this when the neighbor donated theirs to our horse corral — horrible and the horses wont eat fly infested grass clippings. Thanks, Paul for your wonderful programs — since I can not put your advice to use, I forward all of them to several of my friends and relatives who have moved out of the city into rural areas and need gardening classes, ha! Keep up the good work and thanks alo for exercising your gifts and talents.

    Oh No! I forgot about the time difference. My mother has Alzheimer’s, I get a little off schedule at times,

    Dear Paul,

    I have needing to get in touch with you for several months. I took your winter gardening class and learned a lot. I grew one of my biggest broccoli plants.
    However, since I got interrupted and didn’t get to see all of your winter gardening program, I order it for $35. I got a receipt from your dad. Then when you offered the special program helps, I can’t remember whether I wrote for $60 or $80, I think it was 80, and I have a receipt from your dad. Now I haven’t heard from you since!!!! I can’t say that it is all your fault because my computer has not been bringing things since November 20.

    If you could send anything to my husband’s email, I would appreciate it.

    I was looking forward to seeing you at the agriculture conference, but my husband got covid and so we cancelled out. So sorry to miss it.
