Key insights about video Gardening with Georgia Workshop?

🌱 One key insight is that the speaker prefers to use containers for gardening due to having a small yard.

🌱 Another key insight is that the speaker turns the soil in the containers and replaces the nutrient-rich soil from the bottom with the nutrient-starved soil from the top at the end of each planting season.

🌱 The speaker also mentioned that they throw kitchen scraps and other items in the containers to amend the soil, and sometimes add additional nutrients before winter.

🌱 In terms of the specific plants they are growing, the speaker plans to plant tomatoes, including different varieties like Pink Brandywine, San Marzano, Mr. Stripey, and Midnight Snack.

🌱 The speaker places emphasis on burying the tomatoes deep in the soil, allowing the roots to extend and create a strong root structure, leading to a healthier plant.

🌱 Additionally, the speaker mentions a unique method they are trying this year, which is placing a raw egg in the bottom of each planting hole before adding the plant. The nutrients from the egg and the calcium from the shell are believed to boost plant growth and yield.

🌱 Lastly, the speaker mentions the importance of using tomato cages to support the plants as they grow, as they have had issues in the past with forgetting to put them on and breaking branches when trying to add them later on.
