Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family’s business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.

We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.

Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

    Just came across your videos about 3 months ago and I really have gained some knowledge about planting and maintenance.

    I’ve had some good laughs at your humor and silly moves.
    Makes it even more enjoyable, after all, we can use some of that in the times we’ve gone through over the last several years.

    I used to be a leaf wrangler! I would drive around in my pickup truck and grab neighbor’s bags of leaves they would put out for the city to collect. I have plenty now due to the massive trees on our property but those leaves improved my clay soil and I was able to grow beautiful plants 🌱

    I'm gonna do what you said, Justin and my Cabbage and Cauliflower Better look as awesome as yours! LOL. I'm sure they will and once again, some good information. I half expected you to raise up from under the leaves at the end in the raised bed…..A nice video for this foggy, rainy day here in Kentucky. Thanks for sharing and Yes, til next time…Cheers!!!

    Justin, I really enjoy your down-to-earth common-sense approach to organic gardening and your goofy sense of humor. Homegrown vegetables are wonderful for our health and well-being, but laughter is the best overall medicine, and it counts as exercise (internal jogging), lol! Thank you for being yourself.

    I've been using aged horse manure and chopped-up leaves (as mulch) for several years now, in my raised beds. Leaf litter, compost, and well-aged manure are all great amendments for raised garden beds. When I have it on hand, I also add worm castings. I hope you and Alex are having a great week! ~Margie🤗

    Is Black Kow a good idea for winter? I use it when planting.. and fish emulsion

    I've been told not to use nut tree leaves, specifically black and regular walnut in a garden as they contain something that will kill off conifers. Do you know anything about that? I use mostly maple and fruit tree leaves for mulch.

  12. Steve Smith

    Does the type of tree leaves matter? I heard Oak tree leaves take a long time to break down and cause soil PH to become too acidic.

    I grind up my leaves because they are oak leaves and they supposedly they take a long time to break down. I am leaving them this year. And adding more compost to the top of them this next year. Just going to keep doing that every year. Hoping for garden gold. I have heavy clay soil. I am in the Kansas City, MO area.

    As always…love your energy Justin! …Hey Alex…hope you're reading the comments…I've got your cooking episode in the Q so I'll be watching shortly…life and winter quickly approached and spent time tidying up the garden…had to check in here and say hey! I mulched my leaves to only have the wind carry them off…anywho…hope all is well and thanks for the fantastic vid! 🍁🍂🌱

    Good to know. I just moved into my home in the country, and plan on putting in lots of raised beds. Leaves are a natural resource around here.
