Wow. He needs to check into Wal-Mart blue bags in dollar store and 99cent store hamper (air bags) and gardens in plastic bins….and buckets. I find the cement blocks dry out too much because it draws out water from the dirt.
"It's not that difficult ", "It's easy. You can do it" I am knocking my self out, extra tall raised beds, lasagna style, organic no-dig cottage garden etc, etc yet poor results. ??? WHY?
Learned a lot from this one. My neighbor and I share space for a garden of 4×12 raised beds and when I bought new windows for the house we used the windows we took out to make a 16×16 greenhouse (part of which is hydroponic). We just brought in a dump truck full of top soil to top off the beds for next year and populated a new worm farm so we are continuing to try and improve what we are doing. Obviously the raised beds are through for a few months but the greenhouse is doing great even with the horrendous temps we just had. A lot of what we do and try is based on what we learn from your videos.
I'm as enthusiastic about gardening as the next guy, but making it mandatory in schools is not a good idea. First, they're not going to do it organically. They'll be corrupted by Monsanto and Miracle Grow. Secondly, everyone is enthusiastic about something and we can't be adding everything everyone wants to curriculums. There are community gardens and 4H programs that we can support to get our kids involved in growing their own food. Letting government schools do it is a mistake. They can't even get the "3 R's" right.
Hi John! That’s wonderful! You are my inspiration! I’ve always wanted to meet you and discuss about gardening and veganism. What does it take to get you to film my garden? I’ve been gardening on and off for 4-5 years now after my dad passed away in 2012. I tried to keep my dad’s seeds going so that how I remember him and start my gardening. I ve learned a lot in the last 4 years from you and other gardeners to grow my food. I grow fruit trees and vegetables in both front and back yards because my front yard has lots of sun! My front yard is not as beautiful as yours but I grow a lot of fruit trees in it. I grow vegetables in a large raise bed. Im planning to make more raised beds and squeeze more vegetables around the fruit trees. So far I grow bananas, pigeon peas, goji berry, artichoke, tree collard and kales, blackberry , blueberry , Boisonberry, raspberry, apple, orange, lemon, plum, almond, cherries, mulberry, mangoes, avocados, peaches, decorative cabbage, bell peppers garlic onions gingers, figs, papayas in a residential area. I have some challenges growing jackfruit and noni. My tomatoes died when the weather started getting cold. I grow some sprouts for my salads. I wish 1 day I could grow all my groceries! I can tell you that in the last 4 years I rarely got sick. I remember when I consumed SAD diets I was sick every flu season for a week or so even with or without flu vaccine! And I also got seasonal allergies every time the of temperature changed!
hi, i have a question about wheatgrass. what is the life cycle of a tray of wheatgrass? in other words; how many times can i cut the wheatgrass in a tray and not lose in taste and most importantly nutrients? thanks and have a great day in our Lord and Savior Jesus-Christ. Amen.
John- using cinder blocks is risky for gardening. They leach heavy metals and bad chemicals used in manufacture. Much better products like wood or rock should be used in growing veggies.
Hey John, I think you've met one of your soulmates in El Toro. He's so much like you… very passionate, very committed and has great lofty goals to share with world while helping himself. I love you both. Thank you for your efforts. You've also been an inspiration to me too. So glad to me you Jeremiah, appreciation for your efforts .. "taking action" is my 208 New Years resolution. Namaste to you both.
John, I too have been watching you for years and this is absolutely my single favorite episode! Also, I want that shirt!Seriously, can those be purchased?Way to go, El Toro. You, the man!

My cup runneth over…
Schools in So CA have raised beds for each class for elementary . They love them.
Wow. He needs to check into Wal-Mart blue bags in dollar store and 99cent store hamper (air bags) and gardens in plastic bins….and buckets. I find the cement blocks dry out too much because it draws out water from the dirt.

Awesome raised garden beds..
Thanks for the encouragement for us that don't think we have a green thumb
Could u ask the guy whose garden this is where he gets those Boxes(raised beds) & providea link please Mr. John?
Link for that shirt
Great episode. This guys so rad. It would be super cool if he started a channel.
Wow. I'm inspired to grow in my small area.
Enjoyed this video and enjoyed the energy of your guest. Your right, he should have his own yourtube video Keep visiting the growers because they are an asset to gardeners. Keep up what your are doing John – Grow your Greens.
I want a shirt like that! Love how John teaches. Doesn't come off as full of himself.
My favorite tea is dandelion in terms of taste. Sour sop makes the best smoothies IMO.
Oh my. You will get your huge farm and all that you desire. :-). How great it is to see this. John, thank you for bringing this to us.
Awesome these are some of my favorite style gardens
food forest with a container garden aside and a tropical greenhouse is my dream.
i also recommend the Letgo App as a local craiglist alternative especially useful for looking for possible free wanted items to pick up nearby.
John Kohler is my hero, too! Love the shirt..love the garden! Wonderful to see how El Toro has turned his life around. John..you are a great inspiration to many! Thank you!! (P.s. I want a shirt like that!)
Beautiful Garden.
Awesome video and watched the long advertising so your channel earns more money. 🙂
in Tucson most inter city schools teach hands on gardening. It takes a community to make it happen
