  4. Earthworms are coming soon as its no longer freezing. They get pretty cold. Like dead cold. Yes they are coming and the garden will be heaven on earth.

  5. Also, consider this, and I’ll hush up…plants don’t take hardly any of their nutrition directly from what you put in the soil. Soil borne micro organisms break down the “fertilizer” into something that is plant soluble. Having said this, one of the BEST things you can do for your garden is get earthworms started. They produce the absolute best “free” fertilizer you can get your hands on. Try any one thing I’ve mentioned, and you’ll see results, try them all, and double your garden’s potential!

  6. Adjust the pH with dolomitic lime, aka Dolomite, NOT hydrated lime as it tends to “burn” plants and be less forgiving. Also, is trace minerals. He’s on to something with the 5 different composts, but additionally there needs to be some rock dust such as Azomite or Greensand, along with things like kelp or fish emulsions. I have followed (and evolved) his method for the last 10 years, his simple 3part recipe stresses plants due to lack of trace minerals and the pH.

  7. I wanted to chime in with a little added information on the Square Foot Gardening method by Mel Bartholomew that you may or may not have figured out (as I haven’t viewed all 5 of your videos at this point). The mix he gives is highly acidic, and a pH test is absolutely critical as too high or too low inhibits nutrient uptake by the plants. Fertility could be optimal, but without the ability to consume it, it’s similar to starving to death in a grocery store due to your jaws being wired shut.
