I am sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix Webpage.

Hey John, I have 2 questions; 1) I have heard that after you composted that it needs for a few months before it can be added to you gardens. Is there any truth to that? 2) I had an old tree removed (it was dying) I was able to use a lot of the chips as cover for gardened areas saved a wheelbarrow of fine wood chips. I was told the these chips steel the Nitrogen from the soil. is this true?

love the videos! you just got a new subscriber!😉 keep up the great work!

Jeff gave me your discount and a nice tour of Farm Dirt. Thanks again, John.

are you ever in Austin, TX?

are you making your way to Austin, TX??

Straight talk no bones about it! Thank you very very much!!!

John, i just started watching your videos lately. Recently ive begun my own indoor garden using floating rafts on my two goldfish tank. Currently im expanding to an outdoor shed where i have my potted vegetables. Growing now are, Cabbage, Yukon Gold Potatoes, Red Potatoes, Bantam Corn, Pineapple, Garlic, Kale, Butter Crunch Lettuce, Roma Tomatoes, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Parsley, Basil, Pickling Cucumbers, and last but not least Eggplants.. all indoors all using the fishtank water and solids. I have learned alot from these videos. By the way, all of this is being done in a 1,000 sq ft condo in a complex..

A town' 2 hrs from me collects all food scraps at the curb each week and makes black shifted compost and I go there and get my compost each year for my garden.

thank you and friends

Dang... amoebas level in Texas! So, it that a good thing or not? If something is growing in the soil that is NOT good, it's hard to kill it in this grow zone since we have so little real winter.

I'm a fan of what you do and learning a lot. I see you have done gardening in Northern California. I am having a hard time finding your videos pertaining to that area and was hoping you might make a playlist based off of your locations to get a better idea of what to expect in the same or similar areas.
Thanks for your time. Keep up the great work.

Thanks so much for sharing. Will definitely consider this place.

Can not get compost like that here in west Florida.

Respect to you Sir. Organic everything. I wish people in the medical marijuana industry would care about health and organics over money and riches.

@28:20 Wow! why cant my compost look like that in my tumbler?! Mine is still brown, kinda looks like broken down pine pellets. Food is breaking about at their own pace, still plenty of green and brown solids, but my 5 or 6 month compost is STILL NOT BLACK!! AND DEF NOT HOT(COOKING) INSIDE even living here in AZ!

what's good to get rid of powder mold?

Just ordered 4 bags. Comes to a little over $100 even with the $8 discount because of the UPS freight costs. Love adding stuff from many sources to our garden. My plants are all very happy, and so am I.

John, Have Merry Christmas.
