S1E24 10 Gardening Mistakes People Make And How To Avoid Them Homestead Preparedness Pt4

On this episode we talk about 10 Gardening Mistakes People Make And How To Avoid Them in my attempt to help you raise and grow as much food as possible.  After all, one of the biggest ways you can become better prepared on your homestead is to raise and grown your own food. And I want to help you avoid making some of the mistakes that I have made.So, on this episode we talk about how:1. People don't know their first and last average frost dates, why that's important, and where you can find that information (http://almanac.com)2. People plant things not suited for their hardiness zone (https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/)3.  People direct sow seeds that should be started indoors.4.  People sow indoors seeds that should be direct sown.5.  People plant the wrong things (in other words, they plant what OTHER people are planting instead of planting what THEY like to eat!)6.  People plant too much.  Yes, you can have too much of a good thing!!  Been there, done that!7.  People try to get too much into an area overcrowding (and stressing) their plants.8.  People wait too long (or even forget) to harvest.  What a waste!!  The veggies won't wait for you.  You've got to pick them when they are ready to achieve maximum harvest.9.  People plant only once instead of multiple times to achieve multiple (successive) harvests.10.  People try to "set it and forget it".  Your garden needs care.  Weeding, watering, and feeding are something you'll need to do, regardless of gardening methods.On this episode I also talk about my impressions of the Hoss Tools Seed Starting Kits that we have, as well as the 1020 trays from Bootstrap Farmer.  I also talk about our growlight system, something we did a video about that you can find here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE34jjCbAQk&t=70shttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttp://www.youtube.com/c/3BFarmandHomesteadhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/[email protected] Support the showhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/bloghttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/newsletterhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/supporthttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheHomesteadJourneyhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/[email protected]
