I'm in nebraska it's been 30 below an I've had over winter leeks an onions in my small grow tunnel my leeks are very big now

Egyptian onions, my dad called them winter onions. Tops die back in winter, then very early spring the greens grow back and are very mild until it gets hot.

I am gonna answer the question before I even listen to it. CHANGE...people hate change no matter how beneficial it might be for them. And nothing is a perfect system...even no till.

My understanding about bolting onion sets as they are biennial and are in their second year of growth

We have our garden basically for us and family and friends. We are still trying No-Till and we also want crops in the soil more often. What we liked was Evan Chender's idea and the importance of timing and diversity. Two things we need to get much better at. As always a great Sunday morning video. Always so much to see and learn in your well presented videos!

I want a Radicchio video!

Thanks Rick.

Alliums are biennial, which means they won't flower their first season. This is why they don't bolt before harvest when planted from seed. When you plant sets, you're growing their second season.

Hi Jesse, good video, thanks. Dumb question, on these overwintered aliums, he means onion bulbs, right? Or is he selling them as different product, like smaller onions plus the tender green stalk?

Question: Is dog required to get a good crop of alliums? Follow-up: Are two dogs better than one?

Sounds like you could improve many of these issues with a better compost

Looks like a really nice setup.

Have you seen any of the videos by Geoff Lawton how he puts beds on contour to manage water? A very interesting guy to listen to.

I'm interested in trying forcing roots again. Used to be able to buy them in pks of 4 at local market in mid & late winter. Loved it.

I love alliums, hence I love this video.

So informative! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Evan and cute dog for your time with Jessie and us all😁

Some have issues with Rust in USA ,uk and Europe Once bulbing Alliums don’t like too much moisture 😊

Thank you for producing these videos they are the highlight of my Sunday mornings!

I still have red onions from last year still growing in Australia 😊 I start my onions in small pots from seed in February in pots, to save on weeding to early, I transplant in May harvest usually November/December though as I’ve said earlier I have Red Onions still with green shoots , some have dropped others not, left ones in raised bed in their. I’m in a temperate Zone. I want some to seed to keep the genetics the same.. Onion or Shallots sets it think it’s the second year.😁 Bunching onions or shallots may be an alternative.😁

Hi Nerds😊

In order to increase the depth of 'good soil' i allow a few burdock self-seeders on my allotment; i've dug up burdock root for medicine on a local farm's manure pile, got two feet out and the root hadn't even started tapering (how much did i leave behind???). If i had access to more land, i might put over entire beds/areas to burdock. It's a monocarpic biennial plant. You may be happy to let them grow one year for less impactful effect than if you were to leave them to do their thing till they're done. Their rhizophagy work will quietly be cultivating deeper soils. I learnt from Michael Phillips (on The Real Organic Project) that some of the ectomycorrhizae affiliated with trees in a forest have explorer hyphae that reach as much as 12ft down. To bedrock. Those fungi take carbon from the plant, and deliver it to the tips of their hyphae. This carbon rich fluid feeds bacteria living on the surface of the hyphae. This enables the bacteria to produce organic acids, which dissolve the bedrock, which allows the fungi to take calcium, phosphorus, magnesium etc back up to the plant. I apply the smell test to my compost heaps as they are cooking. My compost takes two years, but only because i prep the most cooked heap by growing a few plants on it to get the plant-helpful micro life activated before i use the compost on my beds. Over time i will learn which plants are most helpful to grow on the heap for the later in-ground crops. I would watch your videos for the quirky interjections alone! Also i'm fully intending to get all my soil health questions answered via dowsing; heck of a lot cheaper than often expensive tests. More ecological, too. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚

I have horrible organic matter levels in my soil and awful micronutrient levels, I have been starting to do cover crops to try and add some organic matter and to try and add nitrogen and increase soil health and attempt to capture and make more micronutrients avaliable.

You’re taking 14 pick up truckloads a week or 14 dump truck loads a week?

It’s funny reading all these comments apparently we all have the same thought that she talks too much and it’s irritating

Winter luxury squash is sooooo good. It is great baked and perfect for pies… yummy!

I've had very successful summer lettuce growing with Michelle lettuce, which is a French Crisp. Of course, I harvest the outer leaves all season long.

Wow, I loved this video! I am so into learning about compost and I was also touched with how sweet this young lady is with her dear old dad! The loving relationship between these two is what makes the video so special!

"No-till" is a small scale convenience. THAT's why most don't bother. When you're wprking everything by hand, it only makes sense to go no-till. When you're using equipment... even small equipment, there's no point.

Thank you.

i love the equations and other numerical facts you throw in. My brain works in this manner.

The machine at the start that cut the grass. What was the name of it please?

Crazy question, would twist ties work with tomahooks? I use twist ties and jute twine in my home garden. I can see making my own momahooks pretty easily...

Shoulder height garlic?! 😮

any one knows how to put the seed in the ground is it better to plant it with pointed edge down or the bigger edge or the flat surface down, thank you ? because in the picture it says " always plant it with the flat point down but the arrow is pointing at the pointed edge.

Aaa the best method. I think i was doing it alone. This is what im doing. Thank you for saying i eint wrong

Sweet potatoes run all over the place here (Fl panhandle) but the dang DEER won't let us have 'em! Absolutely. They do shade magnificently (where permitted) so even if they don't (always) make potatoes, they're pretty and their blossoms are spectacularly beautiful. Plus I'm sure attract pollinators. They're sorta like the Kudzu of the vegitable kingdom.....(remember kudzu...the next great "thing" U.S.D.A. pushed back whenever. Crotalaria ("sun hemp") was another "miracle" crop and shore'nuff, once established, requires a "miracle" to eliminate...and don't let me get "started" on winged-bean (s)....Soooo much "good advice.."

Did I miss the part where he explains how long you keep the air running in the tea before using it on your plants? I heard the part where he explains you -can- put air in the extract if you want

I hadn’t thought about digging a trench around a raised bed before, that is a really good idea. You could fill the trench up with wood chips to reduce weeds too

Carrots, beans and potatoes grow like crazy in my old/ used mulch pile. It’s no till/ no tend and it produces Next year I’m going to layout rows of mulch and let it go

Cant farm without land. Land that needs a millionaire to buy.

Luetine for the eyes is extracted from marigolds. You can eat the flowers. Very nutritious.

"Consumed a lot of beer..." 😂😂

I've been using shredded paper in places with success.

loving this film .. im getting the message about the importance of air .. would think to compare it to sieving flour in baking for the same reason .. get air into it

Applying this knowledge towards my summer garden, thank you for being my mentor! We love you Kentucky down here in Sunnyvale, Texas! God Bless!⭐🙏

Love this video! I enjoy all of your videos, but this one especially. I have four chickens, and it’s amazing how fast they can break down the woodchips I put in their chicken run. All garden scraps go in the run and help feed the chickens and break the woodchips down faster. The compost they create is absolute gold. My plants are on steroids!
