We are going to be restoring some garden tools, and in this video I will show you how to do it the way my Grandpa taught me.Sharpener: https://amzn.to/3djU4x...
Get the most out of your gardening tools! A basic tutorial in how to care for them using only sandpaper, a sharpener, and linseed oil!
Hey so I know in the past I have recommended MIGardener as a place to buy seeds for your garden if you are in the US, but I would like to be transparent about the fact that I won't be supporting them after today.
This morning, the owner of the company (Luke) went on Facebook to encourage people to pick up local goose droppings to be used in their gardens (without providing any additional information about how it should be used*). Many people expressed their concerns about him making this recommendation with AI (avian influenza) being very prevalent right now. Luke followed up with another post about how people are fear mongering, waterfowl aren't vectors for this disease, and how people are raising chickens to be weak and have poor genetic selection and that's why they are dying. He also called people with concerns about this 'hysterical'.
So with that being said, I will no longer be spending my money on this company's products.
*Goose droppings must be fully composted before adding it to the garden. Otherwise, the high nitrogen content will burn and kill your plants. This information was not passed along to their followers, which will likely result in many dying gardens even if AI is not taken into consideration.
In 2015 we uploaded a video that went viral. It was titled “How to build raised beds for cheap” and in that video we showed how you could build a raised bed ...
A super simple how-to on building your own raised beds that will last a good while! Make them during the winter and start filling them with leaves and other soil material to break down before spring planting!

“Cover crops, tarping, adding unfinished compost, or planting perennials, is the best way to ensure your garden will be ready for winter, and then ready for spring! The benefit of cover crops will be that you have no leaching of nutrients, no runoff, and you can be more sustainable, and protect the soil that grow your food.”
MIgardener on YouTube has lots of information on growing things, I’ve found their videos very helpful over the years.

Our 2026 Garden: MI Gardener seed order
Yup. You read that right. I’ve ordered seeds for next year’s garden already. There’s a reason for that, though. For starters, we can already see how things went with direct sowing in the fall, and how they’re doing now. So while these are for our 2026 garden, some will be planted this year, before the ground freezes. Another reason is, MI Gardener has refused to raise their prices making them…
