Join me on the Homestead as I take you through our latest gardening adventure! In this video, I share my tried and tested method of composting with chickens to create nutrient-rich soil for our garden. Watch as I demonstrate how we prepare our garden beds, including using weed fabric with burned holes for precise spacing.
Today's main task? Planting potatoes! I'll show you why I've chosen Kennebec potatoes and share my planting technique, which includes using compost and bone meal for each potato, and covering them with leaf mulch for optimal moisture retention.
As we work in the garden, I reflect on the tranquility of gardening and encourage you to use your gardening time for relaxation and reflection. Plus, I give you a sneak peek into our upcoming garden plans, including companion planting with bush beans and transitioning to onions, carrots, and lettuces. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, there's something for everyone in this video. So grab your gardening gloves and join me as we dig into the joys of growing our own food! Don't forget to share your own gardening experiences and potato varieties in the comments below. Happy gardening!
