When my neighbors asked what my secret was for having a lush yard and garden. I explained that what they saw was the result of my gardening by attrition. If it can't take care of itself, it doesn't get replanted and might even get pulled out. The robust survivors became the permanent residents.

Here’s a tip: paint your garden tool handles to lengthen their time outdoors. Choose a bright paint like red or prange so you can find them in a sea of green. If anything burns me , it’s green garden tools.

Re: tool pile! Mineral oil plus sand in a tub makes for sharp and rust free tools. They are also very satisfying to pull back out again.. bit Excalibur-esk, (except extremely easy to pull out.) I learned that from an 80+ year old fellow lazy gardener who struggled to remember ever sharpening any of the tools in at least the last 30 years, yet they all had a good edge.

@denisefaust6408 3 місяці тому

Do you rub the mineral oil on after the tool is taken out of the sand? Or do you mix oil into the sand?

@TheSkillotron 3 місяці тому

Rust free? Yes. Sharp? Certainly not if the edge is exposed. Grinding those nice sharp edges against a thousand tiny rocks will dull them very quickly.

Not canning is such an important tip for lazy gardeners/homesteaders. Dealing with abundance is the most labor-intensive part of gardening. Potatoes, onions, and garlic are so much easier to store when growing extra. The only thing I can are tomatoes because they are so valuable.

@derinedala5032 8 місяців тому

I got so frustrated trying to listen to a guided meditation whilst mixing horse feeds (which usually helps) that I swore profusely, and came to UKposts to find something to listen to.

And how deep is too deep of a layer ? At the end of my growing season, I also add all of the mulched leaves and GRASS CLIPPINGS to entire garden after growing season is frozen out, over and done? thanks appreciate your knowledge

I rented a house for 4 years. The yard was riddled with many “weeds”. I let the grass go to seed every year. My neighbors sometimes complained about the tall grass to the landlord. I explained what I was doing and told them that when I left they would have a much greener yard. When I left the landlord thanked me for “improving the property”. All with no cost to me or the landlord. Side benefit, I only had to mow twice a year. 😂

@mburrito57939 Місяць тому

In the 6 years that we lived in our Dublin apartment, I totally changed the health, welfare and vitality of my garden soil with nothing but woodchips. It became the vehicle for us creating relationships with our neighbours because we all started talking garden, sharing ideas and enjoying the visiting birds. And best of all, I had no idea what I was doing!! I had put it down for aesthetic reasons and to prevent excessive water loss through evaporation (yes, even in Ireland) and in return, I received the most unbelievable soil (it was utter rubbish before) with a garden that ended up being almost as lush in winter as in summer (still can't believe that) AND it totally took care of my overwhelming bindweed, blackberry and horsetail weed problems that had choked out literally everything before. It's Ireland, so the most effective treatment for garden issues is for you to drown your frustrations in Guinness (I'm not really exaggerating), and I was told that I'd have to get a professional in to spray it and then maybe that may control it for a bit while killing everything else.. From my first year living there and spending absolute hours pulling off bindweed from my flowerstems with tweezers and nail scissors like a horticultural surgery, to the token snip and clip of an errant weedling like the genteel woman that my mam wished I could have been, I can only and forever attribute it to wood chips. I am still in awe at the power of nature's lego.

So glad to happen upon this video and your channel! I am always telling people who ask about my garden (some success some not) that my approach tends to be Darwinistic but now I know it’s a combination of Darwinistic & lazy gardener! For example, I actually bought a dwarf cherry tree (I like to start with cuttings or forage a lot but clearance sales are also nice) then never got around to planting. Year 3 and it was starting to bear fruit. I felt guilty it’s still in the nursery pot so moved to actually plant it (I mean, it’s doing its thing despite me, the least I can do now is give it a better foundation) and found it rooted itself well below the nursery pot and into the garden bed. It found the good soil left over from my watermelon patch I set it on and made itself happy. Needless to say, this fall I have to move it but I will do so carefully b/c that little bugger has earned it’s place. 😂

I love this video, I've saved and shared it... my only thing i would like to add is if you don't have much space, but still have a chicken run, add everything you would normally compost into your chicken run. Chickens are pretty good about knowing what they can and cannot eat so when your (properly fed) chickens are introduced to a world of composting opportunities your not just making your chickens happy but your encouraging healthier produce from them as well. Decomposing materials are a hotspot for insect life so what your chickens aren't digesting just breaks down into the soil that you can use to enhance your unique ecosystem ❤❤

Beginning gardeners in more arid environments, you will need to set up drip irrigation to achieve Ann’s amazing lazy garden! Rain helps Ann achieve the laziness!

@AnneofAllTrades 8 місяців тому

You’re totally right- at the very beginning, but as you build up your soil, you’ll need it less and less, last year we had a 90 day drought paired with one heck of a heatwave and still needed zero water

@orangemoonglows2692 8 місяців тому

@@AnneofAllTrades honestly, as someone who lives in a part of california with 7 inches of rain/year, i can tell you that a 90 day drought in a place that gets 50 inches of rain/year is not the same. your plants/trees can search out moisture and find it. mine really can't. the crazy rain we recently got left the ground moist for days. i would say more than a week after the tropical storm, parts of the ground still have moisture. rain is a luxury that can make gardening sheer joy.

@AnneofAllTrades 8 місяців тому

@@orangemoonglows2692 I won’t disagree there, but will add that the more you can build up your soil, the less water you’ll need, no matter where you live.

Dear Anne, INVU. You are living MY dream. I am simply in love with your garden and your practices to focus on the invisible part of the plant. And, I wish I had so much space as you have. Your video is super informative. These are the same principles I have been trying to tell my wife and she doesn't listen. Don't pick up the leaves they will amend the soil. Use holes to put your scraps or fertilizers to raise the soil quality. And most importantly, no need to try to babysit or revive the smaller vegetable plants if they cannot survive on their own. Anyway, I have my own fruit trees "orchard" in a small thousand plus square feet front yard. Putting up raised beds in a couple of days for milkweed - to attract butterflies. Also, a Manuka honey plant is in works - would be planted in next couple of years in the soil - to attract honey bees - a tons of honey bees - my little pollinators. I also have planted a flower bulbs patch that would come up seasonally. I have planted tuberose, stargazer lilies, dinnerplate dahlias, hyacinths, paperwhites, cyclamen and tulips. I like the fragrant varieties more. The hyacinth I had to re-plant because they were not seasonally spacing well with the paperwhites and tulips - which is when I noticed the smaller new hyacinth bulbs growing out of the original ones. It's such a happy feeling to see healthy growth under your care. But as you said, it's about maintaining a sustaining plantation - So, I am going to work on that. Next week - I am planning to clean up my side yard and put up raised beds there too. Many of your suggestions I am going to consider while I do my round of planting over there. Whatever I do, it would not even be close to what you have done ! So, once again, INVU - in a good appreciative way. Regards.

Since you are new to Tennessee I thought I would share a little good news for you if you like thornless raspberries and blackberries to get the best results grow them in a tree greenhouse or in a underground greenhouse that you can roll the cover up and then recover by the touch of a switch for a crank put you a small wooden heater in your greenhouse to provide heat if needed will also help provide a better and longer harvesting

Why not have a small tool shed at the garden? For the skeeters at night, you could make a little pond for dragonflies. I have a lot of dragonflies and few skeeters. I'm doing Mexican Gherkins next year, I cannot wait. Awesome garden!

@dunedainmom 5 місяців тому

Wow. Can I have more details on your anti-skeeter pond? How big is ot? How did you get dragonflies?

@Omegawerewolfx 5 місяців тому

@@dunedainmom there are a bunch of videos on YT for dragonfly ponds. I'm using a small koi pond shell, not a liner. And I buy my plants from a local nursery. The dragonflies show up on their own. I have lakes and stream in my area so I normally have a few around anyway. I'm not sure why but I find a lot of adults in my blackberries and raspberries.
