John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ takes you on a field trip to the 2017 National Hardware Show into the Lawn & Garden Pavillion to share with you the best new products that will allow you to grow more food at home. In this episode, special guest, Jake Mace, the Vegan Athlete will join John at this year’s show!

In this episode John will share with the following products that he feels are valuable to people who want to grow food at home:

03:10 Tree Diaper – an olla style device for your trees that can catch and hold up to 30 gallons of rainwater and release the water when the soil is dry without any complicated irrigation system or timers. Also had similar solutions for potted plants and raised beds.

09:56 Soil Savvy – Best soil test kit that tests actual nutrients available in the soil your plants can absorb. Unlike other soil test kits which basically see what’s in the soil. This soil test kit simulates the roots of your plants and will actually absorb the nutrients your plant would. This offers you better guidance as to what you can do to improve your soil and your vegetable gardening.

16:33 Vegepod – A Self-Watering Raised Bed Garden kit that waters your plants so you don’t have to. It also keeps out pests from eating your organically grown vegetables. It is self-contained so it can be moved if you are renting your home. It can be elevated so you can garden without bending down or from a wheelchair. It is easy to assemble food grade polypropylene with UV stabilizers.

    John, for the first time ever, I found a product before you, unless you have known about the Soil Savvy test kit for awhile. I was shocked to find out when I received my results back in November of 2016 that "No N-P-K Needed" was printed after the fertilizer recommendation arrow. That is 100% owed to following your soil mix ideas. I only wish my own nutritional test results looked as good as my soil test results. The only nutrients that were out of whack on my test were phosphorous and boron, and that is because they were above the target area. All others were in the target area, although my pH was just barely there. I use a lot of oak leaves in my compost, so I will add a tad more wood ash to raise the pH a tad.

    Does anyone know if it's okay to plant fruit trees in the summer in Las Vegas? Most articles I read say no, but 2 landscape companies and the nursery say yes. I'm thinking they're a little biased since they might just want my sale asap heh.

    How come nobody talks about atmospheric water machines.?.. There's enough water in the atmosphere to supply every person's need on this earth… FOREVER! Water scarcity is a SCAM.

    What if we to start our own trade show? One that singles out companies that foster true organics. One that showcases products that are friendly to the environment, and have our gardens, and bodies in mind.
