Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Great soil health tips from Dan! His knowledge of soil biology, nutrients and amendments will help you understand how to have the best organic garden soil preparation possible! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant’s root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!

Thank you for this video, very informative and helpful! I grow Borentana Chippolena onions along with the big guys, and garlic. Happily after a horrible winter in eastern Colorado, my garlic is up and the onions are going in soon. Happy Gardening!!
Tell me you are an OTR or COTA… love it… great video 👍
Again, how deep is that?
I’m going to make that mix for my sorry looking onions! Thank you.
This video is 4 months after I planted my onions. Almost ready to havest
Thank you guys. Such clear and easy to understand video. Great job. 1st time here.
I was wondering if you have a video on radishes. For the last several years, I’ve been growing radishes and they have not bulbed. I know it’s not planting depth, so I was wondering if it was a lack of a certain amendment.
Genius maybe I will use my vintage hand drill to put small air holes in the grass.
Thank you for your wonderful videos gentlemen!!
What a benefit to humanity sharing the knowledge from this wise man and saving it for generations to come! So often a huge amount of knowledge “slips away” with our past generations.👍👍
I like it, thnk you
Thank you, I really needed this information.
Can you tell me a replacement for Greensand? I have ordered it but unfortunately there is a shipping delay. Thanks.
Hello Luke. On this presentation I did not see the list of ingredients that your dad added to the onions. It took about 5 times of playing back to write down all that your dad listed. Maybe you can add on the screen the list and amount use, as you have done in other videos, if not list it in your description where we can copy it. TY
This guy is an expert for sure. But the money most would have to spend on all his fertilizer recipes and stuff would cost the price of a 50lb bag of onions. LOL
Could you please give me the recipe for the onion fertilizer?
What is the mix you are using the onions?
I can’t plant quite yet, but I’ll definitely try this method. Thank you. Western Wyoming is still too cold. We are getting there. Daffodils are just starting to bloom.
Hi. Great video. Would saw dust be a good thing to put around vegetable plants? Thanks for your time.
What’s you can you share your back fill material recipe? Kelp,…
🥰🫶🥰
Is this the same method you use for the bulbing onions? Do you spoon them?
that is quite deep, the holes you plant them in. not going to question that but have never planted that deep…blessings
What is your favorite "storage" onion? Thank you, just saw how large your walla walla onions are in your recent video…WOW!
amazing!! can't wait to plant onions next year,
Thank you for this video, I live in NH and my onions didn’t grow much at all. I planted them with my garlic and I think the garlic over took the plants. I was also told that you shouldn’t cover your onion sets with much soil! What are your thoughts on this please!
