I've done the orange peel pith candle and it makes the room smell nice too: D and yeah - when wool is sheared from sheep, it gets sorted (or skirted) into categories of firsts, seconds, and thirds. Firsts are what largely make it into commercial yarns and fabrics or into fiber for handspinning, seconds require a bit more work and are sometimes used for blends and more textured/novelty yarn, and thirds are parts of the fleece that wouldn't be terribly useful for yarn (things like wool that's especially dirty, has excessive vegetative matter in it, or is too coarse. Thirds and sometimes seconds would be excellent use cases for wool mulch!

14: 17 Apple and similar fruit trees need to be thinned since they make far too much fruit per cluster, usually the middle flower (king bloom) produces the biggest and best fruit - so I guess they use that tool to selectively thin the outer flowers / fruit to get the best one. I usually just wait until after pollination and fruit set, since some of the fruit might fall off due to lack of pollination, and the unpollinated fruit will easily just fall off - so that tool doesn't really solve much.

Since you guys do experiment's. Have you thought of getting everyone in different zones to try and Plant something that you don't typically plant Like Avocado, pineapple, lemons, papaya etc I'm from Minnesota and Now live in Iowa and people do this type of thing and I'm amazed at how they've done this! I've seen Pears, oranges elderberry and Avocado. I do realize these may take multiple yrs but it's be an interesting series and something to check back in on every 6 months or per season.

It's cassia cinnamon and unfortunately you can't perpetually harvest which is why sourcing from those who prioritize replanting is so important. It can also take 15 years to reach maturity for harvest. We use cinnamon in so much but so little is known about how environmentally and culturally impactful its harvesting process is. Ceylon is different and papery, the one that is more known for its health benefits. It's not used in baking/cooking in the same way cassia is.

I've heard on BBC Gardeners Question Time that people can use wool for a slug deterrent. . how long it takes to break down, but it seems like it would be a nice cozy blanket to warm the soil. You guys could do a collab with Right Choice Shearing. Katie and Darien have to shear a lot of sheep whose wool is not good for textiles.
Dude. I need that thinner tool. I have three apple trees and I'm just lazy enough to use this thing.

Protip: If you have a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder, you can save up your eggshells and dry them out until you have a decent amount, grind them into a powder and boom. NOW you have something that's great for your soil. I add shell powder to all my potting soils and if i've saved up a bunch over the winter, i can use them come spring to amend the soil of my yard as well before transplanting any seedlings to my yard.

Sheep need to be sheared, and with so many synthetic fabrics, most wool now just gets composted. There used to be tons of breeds of sheep that were specialized for different terrains and climates. Their wool had a variety of textures and characteristics, not just for soft garments. Lots of it was best for rugs or upholstry or outerwear. Now people only want merino.
It’s too bad because wool s such an amazing fiber

Some interesting ideas, some silly ideas, one very cruel idea. Beta fish are carnivores (eat insects mostly) & not going to survive on plant roots. Also, they can survive in water with lower oxygen, but only if they can gulp air from the surface. I wish you wouldn't show this idea. Too many people believe it & commit the fish to a cruel death. I enjoyed the video except for this.

I found a slow water dripping pipe from next to our A/C unit and I can't afford to fix it so I put some melon seeds in the ground where it drips and left it alone. That was in mid July. So far it has a 3 foot vine and 7 flowers and I haven't done a thing. I can't wait for the melons to come. I'm gonna put pumpkin seeds there next.

If you thin apples every year, you get large apples every year instead of one big year and then nothing the next. We hand thin apples, pears, and Asian pears at the school orchard to ensure fruit for the kids. We thin when the apples are nickle sized, not be the flower, but this tool looks useful.

Potato Ty always amazes me with how much he harvests. Kevin is the potato daddy. But potato Ty is the granddaddy of potatoes and maybe, just the carrot daddy. Anyways, found the new drip irrigation with the sponge helpful and looking forward to more sus garden hacks and more videos soon.

I’m from the Faroe Islands and I can confirm that I know some people who plant potatoes in wool. We have so many sheep here, that farmers have too much wool (point being that the sheep aren’t sheared to provide for the potatoes. It works just as well as burying them in the soil.

Has anyone ever cut back a watermelon plant that’s in the ground and placed it in a pot to stay alive over winter in the house I was wondering if I were able to keep my plant alive until spring and re plant it, would it yield quicker than starting from seed

Y'all. That thumbnail came straight off a Harlequin romance novel. I'm not even one of the people who thought you two were in a relationship, so it's not that! All you need to do is slap Sowing Love on top and you've got yourself a bestselling novel.

Wow. it must be nice to watch videos and not comment out loud only to yourself. I think I desire a 'ground fridge' now. and oranges; I have plenty of olive oil. (Carrot top greens shouldn't be wasted; I hated the automated carrot harvester scene)

Kevin, if you have a solid style rake, I've seen people take old garden hose (cut to the depth of the tines plus a few inches) and put them over a couple of the tines to do the perfect spacing idea. In case you need some order among Jacques chaos.

YT has a video showing that carrot harvester & it shows how tops are cut off & put right back in the bed. And there's a companion video that shows how they use the carrots to make baby carrots. Two very interesting videos. I watched em yesterday.

I once used duct tape on an apple tree branch that got damaged by a fallen branch. It had absolutely perfect fruit that I didn't want to lose. Couldn't believe it when it worked! Branch healed perfectly and I didn't lose the apples

2: 26 very true, best thing to do if you want the calcium in the shells is clean them, toast them, powder them, then leave them in some vinwgar for a few days, youll have WCA or water soluble calcium when the reaction has finished
