Posted in Gardeners

As many of you know I grow a fair amount of tropical & non hardy plants. But of course since I live in zone 6A, they can’t stay outside all year. So in today’s video I’m going to show you how I care for them over the winter. I try to automate as much of that grow space as possible, so utilizing timers is a huge help, so that the plants get consistent day length. I’ll schedule them to have about a 12 hour day, because by the time it starts to be spring time, the days should be getting close to that length anyway. So I don’t need to do much modification to make the “days” shorter or longer.

Many of my aroids had to be put outside in the cold because of a disease called mosaic virus which is a really nasty virus with no cure at the moment, although tissue culture can separate virus from infected plant. Just like with the Canna viruses, plants that are infected need to be thrown away. I will have a video out solely focusing on the mosaic virus. Just note that it will mainly be photos of my plants so that you guys can get an idea of what it is.

Free $100 gift card with orders over $500, ends Nov 28: https://growepic.co/3EmYyB6If you like my system, I used https://westcoastheatcool.com/ – Mention you heard about them from Kevin Espiritu! Part of the mission with the Epic Homestead is modern, but efficient and sustainable systems. To me here in San Diego, that meant a mini-split AC instead of a central air system, gas heaters, etc.

Here are my thoughts on the system, as well as how I hooked it up to work automatically from my phone based on if I’m in the house, leaving, or if temperatures drop below / above a certain level.

0:00 – Mini-Split Intro
1:45 – Overall Install
3:00 – Air Handlers
4:32 – Remote
5:30 – Cielo Breeze Eco
7:47 – Google Home Integration
9:28 – Is a Mini-Split System Worth It?

I love garden tools…so much so that I probably have about 40 in my shed right now. But as a beginner, you only need about 3 – a cutting tool, digging tool, and watering tool. As you expand your garden, you may want to get into long-handled tools or specialty tools, so I’ve also included those in this video. At the end, a bit of a bonus on how I sharpen my tools to keep them working for years and years.

0:00 – Intro
0:53 – Hand Pruners
2:43 – Trowel / Hori Hori
3:49 – Watering Tools
5:42 – Shovel

10:09 – Oscillating Hoe
12:14 – Loppers
13:41 – Bonus Tools and Sharpening

Corona Tools was founded in the 1920s and has been making absolutely incredible, long-lasting, and functional garden tools since then, starting out with their original AG 5050 Orange Shear, which helped to save the citrus industry. Here are the tools mentioned in this video.
