Are you somebody who has always wanted to start a backyard garden? Are you somebody who’s attempt at gardening failed and think you don’t have a green thumb? Are you someone who wants to be organic and live in a healthy, self-sustainable way? Are you someone that just enjoys being outdoors, growing your own produce, and cooking it or preserving it to enjoy today or months down the road? If so, this is the place for you!
Hello! My name is Darrell Ferguson. Louisiana Simple Living was created to share my passion which is to enable you to have a Bountiful Harvest, Delicious Food, and Healthy Living! I am super passionate about spreading the word and encouraging gardeners, especially beginner gardeners, to look at raised bed gardening as this technique is just so rewarding and satisfying, especially in a small urban or suburban backyard. This is an ideal approach for beginners and the bountiful harvest that presents itself right within your reach.

If you are curious what I use out in the garden including seed sowing indoors, organic pesticides and fertilizer, etc., along with the growlight and hardware that I use as well. I built an Amazon page with everything I use. Let that give you some ideas for Christmas presents for your significant other or even yourself. Santa delivers stuff to us every year, LOL. Anything you get also helps me out so take a look. You can find that at www.amazon.com/shop/louisianasimpleliving.

I just uploaded a video with a great solution for automating your garden watering. I've used other products to do this but the Rainpoint Smart + WIFI watering system that you configure totally on your phone is quite impressive. Take a look at the video and the product. If you have questions about the system or how I set up the irrigation using 1" poly tubing let me know. Thanks!!

Everybody be careful as the temperatures are extremely hot and dangerous. Remember to hydrate the night before if you plan on getting out into the garden for any extended work. I do mean with water, and not just other beverages!!

Sorry I haven't been as productive over the last few months as I want to be. I had some minor surgery that set me back a bit and now my Mom is in Hospice. No need to respond but know that I consider you family and hate to not be putting out videos as frequent as I want to keep you killing it with your gardening. I should have my latest video out no later than Tuesday (crossing my fingers). Garden on and thanks!!

Which books are your go-to's for gardening? Of course, you really love Louisiana Simple Living for info, but what books you use for reference. My favorites are the "Square Foot Gardening (3rd Edition) (amzn.to/3IPb1B3), along with The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (2nd Edition) (amzn.to/3SD0eNH). I highly recommend each one. The Square Foot Gardening book is the one that led me to move from conventional rows to raised beds. Again. what are your favorites?
