You can greatly increase the amount of food you can grow in the same space by taking advantage of the vertical area in your garden.

Organic mulches are essential for a healthy, productive vegetable garden, locking in soil moisture, suppressing weeds and feeding plants as they rot down.

There are lots of different materials that work well as organic mulch. Mulching is a great way to use up garden trimmings such as shredded prunings and grass clippings for instance.

In this video we show you how to choose the best mulching materials for your crops, how to apply them and how to mulch both established crops and bare soil.

Watch as Atlantis Water Gardens converts an existing pond into a pondless waterfall in Morris Plains, NJ

The worse feeling in the world as a YouTube Creator is having an equipment failure while you are shooting a wonderful video and finding out you have to re-shoot the entire things.

Luckily the garden has me busy so I finished off harvesting the snap peas and planted my lingonberries in with the blueberries.

In order to relax a little at the end of a stressful day I picked up my camera and spent some time doing some fun garden photography!

Join us as we transform their small backyard patio pond in Pompton Plains, NJ into a low maintenance ecosystem water garden in just 1 day!

Soil pH is one of the most important factors that can be overlooked in the garden. pH has impacts on the availability of nutrients and of the plants ability to take them up. If the pH of your garden soil is not in the optimal range for the plants you are trying to grow you may end up having issues. Often plants grown in a soil that does not have the optimal pH don’t produce or if they do their harvests are low while the plant may looks stressed.
On today’s joint episode between the Testing Garden Assumptions and Urban Garden Series I am going to take a look at soil pH, how to easily measure it and how you can adjust the pH over time if need be.
pH is measured in a 14 point scale with 0 being the most acidic 7 neutral and 14 the most basic.
