   do you ever use swales or rounded beds?

2. mywootgarden - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

   hey that last tilliing step with the manual hoe seemed unnesicerry. i bet with some wood or pvc pipes and some duct tape you could attach your hoe to the back of the last machine steps and with some consideration the hoe tool attachment could be removeabel and reuseabel so as to be an option…rambel~!

   No, I plant on 4 ft. wide rows. I’ll sometimes plant on flater ground for vegetables such as sweet corn, potatoes and okra then I’ll come back later and pull dirt to the plants as needed.

   It’s a good idea to get your seeds early. Lots of new gardeners ordering seeds these days……… Donald

   wow. pretty nice way of doing that. i am going to have to do it the hard way by hand. just collecting seeds for now. next year i will start.

   My spreader is an Agri-Fab. Cheap but does what I need. I’m sure there are some a lot better but I’ve never had a problem. Wash it out after applying fertilizer and give it a shot of oil here and there and it’ll last for many years…….. Donald

   What kind of tow behind spreader do you use and recommend? Most of the ones I checked out have bad reviews. I really enjoy your videos!

   Hey Tom … the rows had been drawn for some time and grass was starting to grow. I like starting out with a clean seed bed so I wanted to get rid of the grass. Just re-hipping would have only taken care of the sides of the row and not the top. That’s why I really don’t recommend drawing rows until you’re ready to plant. If it starts raining before you can get back in there, the grass and weeds will grow. Oh, retirement is 100 times better than you could ever imagine. LOL …. Donald

   Nice Video Donald! Curious, why do you have to bust a row after you have tilled, then hip a row? Nice equipment you have. I live in the Washington DC area and grow my stuff in planter boxes. I can’t wait to retire and do it the right way, your way! Appreciate the great video!!! Thanks, -Tom

    It’s a King Kutter II, 5 foot model. One of the best buys I’ve made……. Donald

    Nice video!! What kind of tiller is that? I am looking to buy one in the next couple of years.

    Go to my website where you will find a link on the home page to a company that sells them. thebayougardener . com

    I must ask? I have looked all over for a hiper like you have, and have not been able to find one yet! Where did you find yours. I have a tractor about the size of yours. I have found bigger but nothing to fit my tractor.

17. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    When making a furrow with the tractor I use my middle buster. I can run it as deep or as shallow as I need depending on what I’m planting. I do understand what you’re saying, attaching the hoe would have saved a step…… Donald

18. vijerad - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    with a garden that big you need equipment like that! a proper gardener you are, nice one.

19. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    Each year I purchased one or two of the attachments used in videos. They make each task much easier and enables me to do it in less time. I enjoy it.

20. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    In the winter and early spring we were getting too much rain. That causes all sorts of problems for me while trying to prepare my seed bed. Then it was like you turned a switch off. No rain for weeks. Planting on rows helped with that, they stay moist for a long time after the surrounding soil dries up. When you do have a flood, rows keep your plants out of the water if you remember to open your drainage. Not saying that’s what happened to the back half of my snap beans. LOL

21. gardenmagik - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    Wow! Your soil is beautiful! How are yall doing with rainfall so far this year? I subscribed to your vids.. they are Great!

22. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    I use that golf cart every day in the garden and around the house. Keep an eye out for the video on picking snap beans in June and you’ll see another use.

23. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    Search online for a planting guide for your area. It’ll give all the planting dates, varieties to plant from seed to seedlings. Good luck with your garden and let me know how it goes.

24. webcajun - December 16th, 2009 at 8:06 am

    I’m retired so I have plenty time to work in the garden. I try to plant enough of each vegetable to put up/freeze for the year. It’s amazing how much a few doz. plants can produce.
