Hi, I am new to farming and was curious about no till paddy farming. This is a very informative video. Could you also share details of how black velvet beans is sowed in April without tilling? Unfortunately I don't have much time and I got green manure beans called jeelugu which grow tall. Could you advise if I could still try no tilling? Do you harvest by hand? Do we have to add organic inputs too?

[@amazingGrace108]

Hi Krishna, how many harvests per year can you get like that on what acreage and what sort of yelid? I'd really appreciate your answer. Love your Teachings. You are a great influence on us. Thank you and God bless. Jai Sri Ram!

Greetings from Queensland Australia. I’ve put in a food forest in a 3/4 acre suburban property, converting lawn to food. My principles are very much in line with your approach. Yes I have my grafted fruit trees but I also eat and encourage the common weeds. I’m using woodchip for my organic material as it’s a free local resource that will otherwise be dumped. I’m planting pigeon pea and ice cream bean from seed to build up material and nitrogen fixation. I use pumpkin and sweet potato to cover the ground. But I’m going to scatter more legume seed inspired by your teachings. I think I need to plant denser. Longevity spinach is one of my favorite greens. We also love our green smoothies! We add turmeric, ginger and citrus to flavor a wide selection of greens.

AWESOME! Thank you very much, just discovered this method and philosophy, To be honest, when I heard about "do nothing farming", I thought: this is for me (lazy person!) Of course, there's still work, but joyful work.. I hope natural farming will be spreading more and more, given the actual plight of the soil of our Earth. THANK YOU

[@BoovarahanSrinivasan]

[@ganeshan5844]

Good one bro 👍🏻

[@gaetanproductions]

Thanks Krishna

[@glider208]

I used this method on an extremely smaller scale (my garden). I spread out the seeds and then pulled up all the ground cover and overgrown weeds. I have to tell you I had more plants sprout and grow than trying to sprout them inside under all these "scientific and chemical" methods. You still need to think and plan what you are planting together so that they will work together. I can not wait for the next season.

[@Swansen03]

glider208 thanks for the personal account, it's always good to hear of others successes or failures. It's is HUGELY important to note that Fukuoka had 20 years before it was all working super well, he bred his own rice and his own vegetables. major part of his successes

[@santiagodespo9475]

how its goibg three years later?

[@bobterhaar9091]

Its interesting that you say one still needs to think what to sow together. This is precisely what Fukuoka considered one of the most complex things to do in natural farming; the selection of the seeds!

[@jagadeshsura6802]

[@nandhakumar6186]

U r a lovely person

[@rzadigi]

that was awesome. I've seen no one else adopt the Fukuoka method to rice farming so successfully. I'm growing his rice here in Japan but haven't yet developed a working technique. Do you harvest and eat the beans prior to cutting them? thanks for sharing!!

[@vishnunarasimhan6492]

Very informative and nicely created video. @Krishna, could you suggest way to reduce weeds already filled up in an existing farmland without ploughing.

[@Swansen03]

It should be noted, Fukuoka bred his own rice and vegetable varieties to grow in his unique system, that was a major step taking many years in his life(also he was in like a zone 10, thats tropical/sub tropical).

[@ashokkumarg6277]

Krishna super dear

[@bodhihood5962]

Now thats some Organic rice

[@peepalfarm]

so when you are walking on wet soil, it does not get compacted?

[@NickSBailey]

Probably would but pulling the roots of all those bean plants out would loosen it just enough by the look of it.

[@wk4240]

Compaction, from animals,happens naturally - this is not the issue; when the soil fertility grows - through permanent grown covering, less digging and machine intervention - compaction decreases.

[@jeanpeudetout]

I will come in Auroville in february to see Biggie and I will visit you because I am very interested by permaculture and eating raw food(fruits and,vegetables mostly)I want to recomand a site call "vivre cru"but it's in french,see you soon,i live in south of France

[@raghavendra5408]

Very good. Is this technique followed for other crops like bengal gram etc. grains ?

[@rodkeays8171]

I live on Vancouver Island and while it does not get as cold as Alaska is is cooler than the tropics. I would suggest using leaves, bark mulches and especially grass clippings as a way to create heat to break down other organic materials. For example compost piles always work better with added grass clippings as they provide this instant heat.

Hey Krishna, hope this finds you well. Any suggestions for green manure plants for South Rajasthan? So far i have Alfalfa, mustard and mung beans. Also there is a pseudo cereal crop called "Dhan". Please advice on what else is possible. I see bean plants also. Would it best to begin with green manures as a starter bed and sow other things subsequently?

[@Swansen03]

disturbance cycles are not necessarily harmful. annuals expect disturbance cycles in some form. this video just popped into my head as i was thinking about things. this is actually pretty smart and really well adapted to their bio-region.

[@Swansen03]

Sangram Takmoge sure, couple examples come to mind. Firstly, the vast majority of our commonly available annuals came from one region in the world grown under great care and turned soil, it's what they were bred under. Next, I was at this small organic farm and they had this problem in the past, at a certain point, nothing would grow. So the farmer lightly turned some areas and in others used a spike roller/aerator to move the soil around. Most annuals expect a bacterial dominated soil, this would happen with disturbance cycles. Undisturbed soil becomes fungus dominant and not so desirable for many annuals. (also fungally dominant soil tends to favor/create acidic soil levels, such as those found in forests, this isn't as huge a deal, but can be a contributing factor) Lastly, in the wild, annuals would be present after a distubance, which are actually natural in Prarie systems from grazing or digging animals. However, depending on the bioregion, there are forested systems which would undergo similar disturbance cycles from animal activity and annuals are the first to fill the void. However! it's important to note, these are not repeate cycles, I'm not justifying deeply turning over the same soil every single season, but it's like everything in permaculture, right method at the right time for the right system.
