Very difficult to hear the interviewee. You voice comes through loud and clear but I was unable to hear the rest of the interview. I turned the volume up as high as possible.
I had no problem hearing the audio, although I think you need to work on obtaining a better volume balance between your own voice and that of your interviewee. Perhaps holding the microphone closer to your subject’s face might help. The video leaves much to be desired. All I can see is a couple of still photos. I use a Mac, and perhaps I do not have the right software, although I seem to be able to receive streaming video on YouTube and FaceBook.
What i find maddeningly missing is a definition of what you are referring to as “lavender.” I presume this means some form of Lavandula angustifolia, since I doubt that most forms of L. X intermedia (lavandin) would be hardy in Ontario. There are 37 recognized species and hundreds of cultivars in the Genus Lavandula, and selection of suitable varieties for your climate is the most basic “secret” to “Growing Lavender Successfully.” What kind(s) of lavender is Derek Ryles growing???
@John OK – first of all – this was a quick and dirty video without any sound mics – on the spur of the moment so to speak. Sorry it’s not up to your video standards. As to why you can’t see it – I have no idea, it’s a youtube video so there’s something going on in your computer.
Second – it’s an unscripted video – sorry again that it doesn’t meet up to your expectations of what a video should contain (re your “maddeningly missing” comment)
Third- damn. I’m going to have to tell those lavandins they can’t grow in my garden. They’ll be very disappointed. The L. angustifolia varieties are indeed hardier and more reliable.
Doug, I had no trouble hearing your video but my husband coud hear you from the next room. More importantly, I enjoyed hearing of someone’s success in Zone 5 conditions. I’d love to hear more and plan on going to his website. I wish you could have walked around his field as I really didn’t get it when he was talking about the water runoff. But, I’ll listen again. I appreciate your efforts and your entire website.
Thanks for your lavender video. I am currently attempting to grow some from seed and have learned the basics just from this presentation. I don’t know if I’ll be successful since it’s still too cold to put them outside, but I’m going to give it a try. Thanks Doug!
