Thank you was very educational

[@stacinaturenuts9060]

I've seen a broadfork before since I grew up near Amish Arthur, IL. I thought it was something they just made for themselves & I've used a pitchfork the same way for my small home garden for years! Now I can have a real one. Thank you so very much!

[@Homestead925]

arthur? lol im just down south in cumberland county

[@terramorfarm]

Amazing! We love them so much, we have 3 and do every bed at least once per season and upto 3 times a

[@TheNightwalker247]

Thank you for the nice and informativ video. Especially the last tool is new and super interesting for our farm

[@terramorfarm]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@waylonbraswell8445]

Great video! Are there any videos on the comparison between small scale no till market gardener vs traditional mono crop farmer as far as salary?

[@DrDeflowerMe]

Really amazing video! It’s been so hard as a first year farmer to find quality stuff like this. I’ve gotten tools that just bend and brake with all this clay soil I’m trying to work with.

[@terramorfarm]

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed. Clay can be tricky for sure!

[@LibertyGardensofUtah]

I feel your pain Drdeflowerme here in central utah we started with compacted clay as well. I hope it’s reassuring but I can now drop a digging fork and it doesn’t stop till the end of the tines. There is no soil that won’t heal with time and love, keep growing friend.

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

Instead of a broadfork, a vole infestation can aerate the soil.

[@terramorfarm]

Not an ideal strategy but certainly a point to be made there

[@allanwallace2956]

Another nice thing about dubois is that free shipping can be pretty fast. Think the last order only took 2 days to show up.

[@terramorfarm]

Great point, I love not having to worry or wonder! Always so fast; peace of mind has value

Merci from Montreal.

[@karinepotvin4095]

Hello there. I’m sorry if I’m pointing out something that is obvious but I wonder if you know, that you cannot use the paper pot transplanter in an organic system in Canada. It’s the glue they use on the paper trays. I hope this changes at some point. But for now, that’s how it is.

[@terramorfarm]

You’re not saying something obvious, but I’m sure most commercial growers know. Thank you though. We promote that we are non-certified organic. We follow all practices excluding this exception. However, having spoken to some agents it’s likely to change within the next 5 years (still a long time) and is currently certifiable in the US. We explain all of this to our clients as the only non Certified practice within our growing methods.

8:00 I would almost guarantee that this is something that could be 3d printed and is likely already on thangs or thingiverse. If not, you could probably find a freelancer to design it on freelancer for a few bucks and have someone print and ship you 20 of them. All of this would be under 100$ Just a note :)

[@gmoseley]

I actually have an idea for a design after watching this video. I was looking for the drop seeder but I can't find it on Amazon. What is it called?

[@terramorfarm]

Look up neversink farm tools or it’s available in @DuboisAgrinovation website

[@pg618]

You said cover the weeds next to the plants like it won't grow through the dirt?

[@terramorfarm]

Yes, small weeds when covered with dirt are deprived of the light they need to grow and as a result die

[@pg618]

@@terramorfarm why not expose the roots using a wire hoe that you can use quickly while walking down each row?

[@terramorfarm]

@@pg618 you could certainly do that, this is simply a superior method

[@tylers7390]

Ouch, those are spendy! I might have to prove my mettle in market farming before investing so much. If I knew I could successfully grow and sell that much produce, then I'm sure it would be worth it, but not this summer! Adding to wish list...

[@terramorfarm]

Totally! We eased into it. Broadfork and bed rake are the starter pack

[@billastell3753]

Shovel #1!

[@terramorfarm]

Haha! Shovel for sure

[@geradkavanagh8240]

Wonder how it works with Silver Beet/French Chard? Seeds are big compared to most of your mentioned crops. Plants are big, leafy and susceptible to damage .

[@terramorfarm]

Which tool? Paperpot or Wheelhoe?

[@kennethfowler4126]

I really appreciate all your hard work but with a garden that big you need a small tractor.

[@terramorfarm]

Thank you. Im curious, what makes you say that?

[@Soundofwindonsand]

Tractor?...he has a very fertile Wife, & 2 legged tractor,tiller, weeder,harvesters are expensive Enough, &..a tractor can't pick eggs...😶

@@terramorfarm I'd say yes, you are maxing out the camera's microphone and the sound is grainy. Doesn't nee to be a $450 Rode. Something like a Saramonic BLINK500B2 will greatly improve your production value, and your points will come across better if you're not yelling them at us :P

Anyone with woodworking experience can make a dobbler which is much more accurate than your fingers and faster.

That would be great! I am no woodworker and found it very difficult and time consuming to make

[@ryelor123]

3-4 hundred for that potting tool? Just cut a board, put screws or bolts in holes in it. Would be pretty cheap and easy to make.

[@terramorfarm]

I tried and failed, it’s 264 holes that you need to align perfectly, not for the unskilled man

So you're giving us your opinion on products that have been provided to you for free by a business. You just lost all credibility!

[@terramorfarm]

Certainly not! We purchased all of these tools and have used them for several years. We approached Dubois Agrinovation to see if they would support us in sharing about our favourites. To me them saying yes is further reason to support them and shouldn't negatively effect your perspective on either of our integrity.

[@futtermanfarms6791]

naaa, none of those. sell them or give them away. No till and mulch tools. make the change to regenerative method!

[@terramorfarm]

This is regenerative agriculture, just without dogma

[@LibertyGardensofUtah]

What wasn’t regenerative about that video? I thought that it was a great operation. This is their first video I have seen and I have no idea if they are no dig/ no till but I certainly saw nothing destructive about what they are doing. This video got me to subscribe!

[@futtermanfarms6791]

@@LibertyGardensofUtah always a living root/ cover crop is the big one. Never see bare soil. Never till the soil/ no till only.

@@terramorfarm call it what you want but regenerative is never till the soil, no til only always have armor on the surface always a living root what does dogma have to do with anything. It is what it is

[@LibertyGardensofUtah]

@@futtermanfarms6791 I understand that “no till” means you don’t till, thank you for explaining that part, now that we are past this fact, my question still remains. What about this operation, on this specific video, is concerning you in regards to sustainability? And btw, I’ve been doing this long enough and let’s just keep the conversation real “living root at all times” means as much as possible. Every single farmer on here has bare ground at some point of the year even if for very short periods of time…… so let’s not get hung up on that. We terminate crops multiple times a year, when you do that, either for harvest or termination of cover or xyz ect. You have no living root in the soil. Also if your transplanting into cover mulch (which most of us are) then you don’t have living root in the SOIL, for a while. So let’s not forget the difference between cultivation of mulch on top of soil, and the disturbance of living soil. And more important than that, let’s all be on the same team and help each other out man! Thank you.
