Small plot gardening in the Appalachian Highlands

Mountain gardening is an ordeal.  We grow rocks better than grass, and soil is precious.  This video will take you on a season long journey in 6 classes, for three hours of learning, to see one fellow's ideas on what it takes to survive as an Appalachian Gardener.


Instructor Spencer is an 11th generation North Carolina farmer with roots going much further back, but he has had to relearn how to do things from the flatland ways of his ancestors.  Mountain gardens are unique.  In this video series you will learn; pre season soil prep, elevation, guarding gardens, taters, seed trays, early starts, indoor bulbs, compost, char, leaves, ash, manure, clay and sand, seeding, repurposing, folk medicines and wild foods, beneficial fungus, seed age effects, chainsaws and sunlight, clearing land, cold frames, companion planting, pH, nutrients, azomite, layouts and design, making money by traveling and teaching about gardens, minerals, natural pest repellant, hills rows and patches, depth of seeding, fertilizers, grapes, fruit trees and growing mushrooms, chickens, trading and neighbors, leaves, digging taters, harvest, storage, seed saving, review of all studied plots including one that failed, and more ALL WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC by Spencer!


Get your notebook ready and bring a hoe, we're heading outside to learn about long term survival in the Appalachian Mountains.
