I love how you try to extract every bit of info from your mind and give it to everyone. I am the same way. Too bad the world isn't that way. I also like your humor.

Well I think I won the battle mostly. The battle was a tilled garden and a raised garden bed I had. My fiancée tilled a 100 by 50 foot garden. We had all sorts of veggies but 90% of our garden was eaten by ants and other insects. The only thing that we got produce from was tomato plants, a few squash, green beans and few bell peppers. I went in that garden and used Epsom salt, fertilizer, Neem OIl etc. Everything else was eaten including okra, butter beans, most of the corn and all the watermelons except for 2. I worked so hard to keep it alive but it was a constant battle. Now, my raised bed is still thriving. I have 3 different varieties of tomatoes. They are producing pretty well but there have been some that rotted and had splits in them that I had to pick and throw out. I noticed I had those stupid looking squash bugs and long legged daddy spiders in both gardens. So, the raised bed garden did better. I go organic soil, boggie brew, azomite and coconut coir in the raised bed. Now I am trying to find out what is biting into my bell peppers I have in my small grow bags. it looks like a vampire just bit two small holes in my bell peppers. I have one sugar baby watermelon that is growing also in a grow bag. I have tired neem oil and Dr. Bonners but still some splitting tomatoes and rotting. I am trying woodchips next and he will not till that soil or I going to show my Southern butt. I lost so much money but everybody said it was only my first garden and I tried to take on too much. He was raised on a farm when he was a little boy and he is stuck in his old ways.

john with all due respect man, but you must be insane if u think even half of your viewrs watch your videos to the end. you are an awesome gardner obviously with a lot of experience. All i am asking for is to make your videos shorter, a lot shorter and be more consise. have a good day :)

Thanks John, I have been searching for a source of food like this since I moved here (Henderson) 6 years ago. I thought I found it a few months ago with the Cowboy Trail Farm but that was a dead end. Marilyn did give me an idea for a booming business you might be interested in, John. She sells out of all her mangos & papayas within an hour. There's a demand here (LV) that you could satisfy while growing what you would anyway. Also, organic, vine ripened bananas are impossible to find.

Great video. Could you do a segment on declorinator water with vitiman c (asorbic acid) I know using filter work but it's another option

Hello anybody can answer this question.
John said in the video that if you don't thin the fruit trees they could handle it. But I read a book that if you don't the tree could produce biannually, is this correct?
