Today we look at the good side of comfrey! Growing comfrey in Florida didn't work great for us.... but growing comfrey in Tennessee did! Right plant, right place.

Sometimes you need to plant something different! Using comfrey for fertilizer and for chop and drop is all well and good... if it grows great! But if something doesn't grow great, don't force it!

We know mulch is good for the garden, yet there are many mulching options! Mulching doesn't have to be complicated. In this video I share a little about fungally dominated soil and bacterially dominated soil, hay and straw mulch, grass clippings vs. pine mulch and more... but in the end, you'll see how easy it is to mulch, and chances are you have some free mulch already available on your property. We also talk about why the Ruth Stout gardening method can now KILL YOUR GARDEN! Seriously. It's no joke. Herbicides in manure and in hay are a serious problem now, and you may have to grow your own mulch or plant a cover crop to beat it. Personally, we love sunn hemp and sudan-sorghum grass as biomass crops that give us lots of mulch and free compost. I have multiple other cheap gardening hacks in this video - thanks for watching!
