The Trick Most Gardeners Skip — and What It Did to My Garden | Container Swap | Zone 7

There's a pruning technique I've been doing for years that most gardeners either don't know about or are too nervous to try — and it might be the single best thing you can do for a crowded garden. In this video I'm limbing up plants and trees throughout the garden — removing the lower branches to let more light and air move through — and I'm showing you exactly what it looks like, why I do it, and what changes in the garden when you do. It opens everything up in a way that's hard to believe until you see it. I'm also fixing a container that just wasn't working (honest mid-season miss) and planting some brand new patio pots that I'm really excited about.
