I would highly recommend this community; the information provided is not available anywhere else. The members are very knowledgeable and helpful too; it's like we're one big family.

You don't need bread communities. But you du NEED THIS ONE!

Ever wonderd why there's communities about bread, or if you need them? The answer is: You need THIS one. Here we help each other, are kind, learn from each other and are able to show what we're proud of. And everybody will love it! Got a question? Not even 5 minutes later some will have helped you. It's truly amazing. I'm so so happy to be part of this community. Thank you Henry, for building auch a wonderful space to communicate!

Where do I begin?

Where do I begin? I am a second year gardener, losing half my garden to deer, rabbits, and squirrels last summer. But I didn’t give up! I came across the DIY Gardening Community and Academy a couple months ago. I have learned more from Megan, the group founder and her members in this short timeframe than I have with all other YouTube videos, homesteading and gardening groups over the last two years. I update my gardening wins and oh no! posts daily. I get praise and cheered on for my successful harvests and my gardens and encouragement and instant help with my bug posts or problems with my plants. . I never knew how ugly some of those pests could be. And I don’t remember my parents ever fertilizing after planting. Who knew! With DIY Gardening Community and academy, I now know squash are a high feeding crop that needs a boost of food often as do all plants requires a boost. I’ve learned that sometimes watering daily is too much, yet sometimes not enough. I now know about putting my finger two inches deep into soil to test if I need to water or not. I’ve learned about root rot, blossom rot, aphids, squash beetle, cabbage worms, walnut husk fly, spiders, dragon fly’s and if each is a friend or foe to my garden. What I like best, is the training guides and videos happen in real time! When any of us have a problem we are uncertain of concerning a crop, Megan takes that question and turns it into a whole guide and posts it to the classroom for us all to learn from. Doesn’t matter if not is about fertilizing, blight, root rot, or how to plant something. Megan jumps in and creates a guide for us. The entire community and academy in general, members are all so helpful and very involved! Wanting to learn more about gardening, come join us in the DIY Academy. I promise you won’t regret it.

The success I’ve had in my garden since joining Megan’s DIY Academy has been incredible. Before, I was piecing together random advice from the internet and hoping for the best. Now I have a clear understanding of what to do, when to do it, and why it works. The free community is wonderful but the real value is in the Academy. The knowledge I’ve gained has completely transformed my garden, and the value of this year’s harvest alone has far exceeded what I paid for the course. Joining DIY Academy has been one of the best investments I’ve made for my garden. It’s worth every penny - and then some!

Megan Genuinely Cares About Us!

What stood out for me was when Megan reached out to have a 1-on-1 call to get my feedback. It really showed that she genuinely cared about the community’s needs. She really took time to hear what I needed help with and what would be helpful to see in the community. I’ve started my garden for the summer and was grateful to have Megan and this beautiful community she’s built. I love it here!
