Want to grow your own sweet, vibrant beetroot even if you don’t have a garden? 🌿 In this video, I’ll show you step-by-step how to grow healthy beetroot in beautiful terra-cotta containers—from choosing the right pot to mixing the perfect soil blend with composted chicken manure 🐓🌱. allforgardening.com/1249463/wa #CountryLife #farming #gardening #homesteading #SelfSufficiency

I think the best garden purchase we made last year was this soil blocker. They are kind of expensive but since it is stainless steel, one and done. It eliminates using the thin individual little plastic things that break down and die in a couple of years then end up in the garden soil and in the landfill. I got these heavy duty trays to put them in, so they can be bottom watered. They should last a good many years. After the trays are done, by then we should have the wood shop built and I can make wooden trays to hold the soil blocks. These are the cabbages I have started in the greenhouse. It will be so easy to just pop them into the garden when they are big enough. I'm impressed by how well the blocks stand up to being sprinkle watered from the top. I used a bale of Pro Mix BX general purpose growing medium for the soil. It holds shape really well. Eventually, I will have to use homemade compost mix but for now this works great.

First time on my pond. About 4’ deep but with a lot of deep silty mud at the bottom which probably explains why the water is so brown. If I ever strike the lottery, what is a way to clean the pond up so the water is nicer? allforgardening.com/1248871/fi #CountryLife #farming #gardening #homesteading #SelfSufficiency
