I started my “Gardening Tips You Can Probably Ignore” series to help you identify gardening practices you don’t have to implement and products you don’t have to buy, so you can save time and money and focus on what really works.

3 Ways You Can Support OYR Without Spending a Penny!
1) Stay engaged! Subscribe, like, share, comment, and select the notifications BELL next to the SUBSCRIBE button to be notified when new videos are released;
2) Let the ads run. This is a big ask, but the extra ad revenue will help offset the cost of cameras, mics, computers, software, etc.
3) If you shop on AMAZON in the US, you can support OYR simply by clicking this link (bookmark it too) before shopping: http://www.amazon.com/?tag=oneya-20

Thank you for your support!

I'm passionate about an approach to organic gardening that is frugal, easy, sustainable, and works with nature to achieve amazing results. My videos will help you grow more healthy organic fruits and vegetables, while working less and saving money. I don't push gardening products. I don't hype bogus "garden secrets". I provide evidence based strategies to help you grow a lot of food on a little land without spending much or working harder than you have to!
