I think a broadfork is very important getting no-till established to break up the compaction likely from vehicle or foot traffic the ground experienced before becoming the garden. After some time it stops being necessary. In Charles Dowding's well established beds he reports a 5% reduction in yields. Your beds are looking like they are getting pretty good.

I'm not trying to split hairs here, but there is no formal definition for no-till at the moment. There is a lot of discussion about it and many opinions. The Tilther only goes down 1-2" and if you have ever used one you will see that it doesn't do much more than a good raking job will do. Also since I am putting fresh compost on top of the beds, there is even less soil being disturbed by the Tilther. The main thing is trying to cause the least amount of disturbance as possible.

Your bed looks really fantastic after you’ve prepped it so thoroughly. If you want to save work, however, trials have shown broadforking does little, and most likely, no good and your surface tilling similarly, although it certainly looks good afterwards. I agree that it’s simpler to spread a little compost each time you plant, even if no-dig says a good layer each fall/winter is the way. With good compost, your careful old plant removal and no other disturbance, you might even find the flame gun of little value. Think of how much time you can save - then we can see more great videos from you!! Thanks for being so stimulating.

"Soil sulfur" will lower the pH a bit, and it's fairly long acting. Don't worry about the pH too much, because most vegetables can handle it. I've been growing in alkaline desert dirt (clay or sand) with no problems - a liberal application of soil sulfur and light fertilizing and you sre good to go. Start a compost pile and if you can get wood chips, add a thick layer of them as mulch.

Please take off ads if possible. Thanks for sharing. Rice hulls help with aeration if you would like to try that on one of your beds

Hey there. I have been a long time KZbin watcher and in full disclosure and honesty I would like you to realize how this works for creators. The ads provide a little bit of income for us. We spend a lot of time making this videos, responding to questions, etc. KZbin is a free platform and we all get a lot out of the content. I don't mind watching a short ad to help support the person that created the free content. Just something to think about.

@@JoshSattinFarming hey thanks for the reply salom. I am come from a background of open source. From mycology to homesteading to making hash to other forms of agriculture etc. the forums I'm used to are all open source. Make a patreon or have a link to your PayPal perhaps. It's less about spending time or money and more about not wanting to have propaganda in my face without my consent. Peace

He doesn’t need anyone’s “consent” to make a little income from all of his hard work. Maybe you should go back to the channels you are “used to” so you don’t get offended you entitled little shit. Peace

Might want to re-calculate your expenses. 6 cubic feet is less then 1/4 of a cubic yard. A cubic yard has 27 cubic feet... Unless Google is incorrect...

This was all mentioned in the video. TWO wheelbarrows per bed. Each wheelbarrow is 6 cu ft. That's 12 cu ft per bed. Yes, 1 cu yd - 27 cu ft. 12/27 = .44 cu yds, .44*28.50 = $12.67 per bed for compost
