Gardening Tips to Avoid (Q&A)

So many "tips" for gardening are available that it can be difficult to determine when ones are worth doing and which ones are a waste of time. Gardener Scott offers tips that can actually work while pointing out tips that don't, answers common gardening questions, shares gardening philosophy, and more. (July 15, 2024)


⚠️ PLEASE READ THE LIVESTREAM GUIDANCE HERE: ⚠️

⚠️ As I see questions, I’ll do my best to answer in the order they appear. However, if someone gives a "super chat" or “super sticker” with a question, their question becomes a priority and moves to the front of the queue. Channel members will also receive priority.
⚠️ If you put ”@Gardener Scott” at the beginning of your question, it will be easier for me to see. QUESTIONS WITH ALL CAPS IS NOT HELPFUL.
⚠️ Because I have a limited amount of time, if I miss a super chat question this week, it will be answered at the beginning of my next livestream next week.
⚠️ Your super chat/sticker is a donation that I appreciate very much.
⚠️⚠️ I’m answering YouTube questions to give actionable tips you can use to become a better gardener. While I have many years of gardening experience and training, please understand that every garden is different and my suggestions may not be the best action for your garden. I encourage you get information from other sources too.

Thanks for your understanding and support!
