Moreno we LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Your videos! I can't believe how much detail and totally free help and support you are offering to the world. May God bless and protect you and your family through this crazy time, and may you get rewarded for your hard work and effort.

[@morningharvestmarketgarden2439]

This is all practical advice from start to finish. Your seed tray tutorial was very well done. Thank you for listing your topics in the summary. That makes a ready reference to be able to remember what you covered in each episode. :)

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey there! Thank you:) Good idea for the summary. I'll create those for each of the videos in this series👍😉

[@BigAlSparks]

Extremely informative for just 1 video. Easier to watch just your channel than 5+ others out there, to get the cumulative effect. Definitely earned your thumbs up, and a new subscriber

[@inabates8919]

I think what a lot of people are still being put off about is that you are a Farm. I’m applying what you’re suggesting but in the one bed I do have, one raised bed, and many many pots. Totally for our own benefit, but we do share excess! 🤷‍♀️🙏👏 Thank you for sharing 🥰❣️

It’s breathtakingly beautiful in France! I’d love to live there. Born & raised in fla, I get tired of summers heat & humidity🤢.... thanks 4 the Awesome, informative videos ! U get to the point & keep it simple. I Love ur farm. It’s so pretty. U busting ur ass everyday on it tho that’s for sure! Lol 😂 farming/gardening’s hard work. Especially when it’s 99• out & the humidity’s off the charts -it’s brutal ! It’s March here in fla & hot as hates already 😒

[@Eminew]

Congratulations Dutch to sharing knowledge, I have learned a lot. I have many doubts regarding the fight against pests, such as "Tuta absoluta" in tomatoes, or how you treat mildew and mildew. It was a good video explaining these "problems" that may arise. Thank you and good work

You have a wonderful land, you need to build more insect hotel for Osmia bees, with holes minimum 10-15 cm deep and 10 mm diameter (most important), Osmia bees are the best early pollinator for 3 first week of march, they assure tree's fruit production at their maximum. Osmia are easy to reproduce and multiply as long as they have holes to nest, it's exponential, and they stay in the same area indefinitely.

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Thankyou! We've included many insect hotels (you can't always see them in the videos) and you're right. They provide the perfect habitat for this species. Pretty much every insect hotel we hang up, gets all their holes filled up with the eggs of these bees. Amazing to observe!

I'm thinking " Professor Moreno" but then I think that would be insulting you. Much better than a college coarse.

[@victorakbar8153]

Nice greenhouse

Thanks !

[@jamesbonn2394]

More small farms need compost making employees, that's what I call my worms in my vermicompost system. breakdown takes a couple months and you can feed some of the extra worms to the chickens to help with egg production.

[@bob.hudson]

your channel has become one of my favorite. Since you guys have chickens would it be possible to make a series of videos on how to take care of them?

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey Bob, thank you for the kind words! This channel is specifically putting out content to help educate and support new, beginning and aspiring farmers get started with a small scale no dig market garden. I think that the integration of chickens (and animals) is an important aspect of the small farm, but as of now the focus will be mainly on the production side and business side of market gardening. Maybe in the distant future I'll move a bit more away from this and include videos specifically about chickens, or other possible enterprises on the small farm.

[@thefitzroyhotelmerriwa552]

Hi Moreno, I absolutely love your videos. They are so practical and realistic. One question I had was when you did the brilliant video with your actual revenue numbers, the one thing I was wondering is if you could provide a couple of examples of volumes of crop to make the revenue you made, such as how much spinach you produced and what was the percentage of revenue this represented? Thanks again, you are amazing at what you do 🙏🏻

[@KAKALaundryKh]

Nice snow 👍🏻👍❤️ like 💯🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@rob4595]

Nice Video. Very much useful information. I'm blown away by your overwintered carrots. They look great. When did you seed them and which variety is the carrots you use? Did you put them under row cover during the winter to protect them from frosts? Thanks & keep feeding us with your inspiring videos!

[@carlhowell8004]

I am loving your videos. I would be very interested in learning what plant combos you use to maximize space. I am in Massachusetts, USA zone 5. Thank you!

[@Falney]

If you are going to continue growing peas there yearly, Either grow companion plants that consume lots of nitrogen, or remove half the compost every 2-3 years. Otherwise you will get a build up of nitrogen and after year 4 you will start getting lots and I mean, lots of leaves and no pods. Also,with ginger, while you can cut them as small as 2" I would recommend leaving as much of the ginger as possible, even if it means throwing away some rhizomes as the more of the root there is, the faster the new plant will develop roots and grow. The initial cost will be higher, but you will be creating a crop sooner.

[@D54812]

Greatest KZbin-Content creator in my opinion!! Do you use compost-tea ? If yes, How do u do it and how do u apply it ? Greetings from Germany

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey Bruce, thank you for the kind words! No compost-teas so far. Just compost itself. Maybe I'll make a video about it in the upcoming future. Greetings from France!

[@moi7748]

Superb video, with such a mine of information 👍👍 I know what you mean about the rabbit food. In our region people are probably more hunters and meat eaters, but I think this is slowly changing thanks to people like you. I'll look forward to seeing how your ginger turns out - I did try some last year, but it refused to sprout. I'll try again this year using your method. May I ask how you make up your potting mix? Many thanks for another informative video!!

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey Andrew, thank you! Maybe the ginger you bought had been treated with growth inhibitors? Or didn't contain any eyes/wasn't as fresh anymore? I don't make up my own potting mix, but instead just buy high quality pre-made potting mixes in bags. I'm not sure about the exact ratios of the ingredients, but it includes compost, vermicompost, peat and a couple of smaller ingredients... all organic of course ;)

[@moi7748]

@@TheDutchFarmer Thanks for your reply. Another thing, winter wasn't a usual eastern France winter but it was still chilly and very grey. Do you heat the greenhouse at all and/or use grow lights? I noticed that your trays were full off healthy looking seedling, while mine are completely "leggy"... 😕

[@ruhrestaurantbangalore4112]

Its NICE

[@okotopen]

Hi from a farmer in Denmark - so much good stuff in this video, great job! For the dibbler board you just need to buy the push plate from quickpot that goes with your 150 cell flats - they work like a charm 🙌🏻 i bought all of mine at meyer-shop.com (german company)

[@nicolas-laurenbernaberry2899]

Thanks again for the great video : in your home composting system, how do you time the handling of a pile from 1st area, then 2nd then 3rd? I mean if you have a constant, daily supply of fresh organic matter, don't you have multiple different stages of decomposition that pile up ? How do you "regroup" all this in large enough quantities to make a heap and handle only 3 main stages? I hope the question makes sense :)

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey Nicolas! Depending a bit on the season, we get quite a lot of organic matter indeed. Most of it is devoured quickly by the chickens. As soon as the first pile is high enough and occupies the entire space of section 1 (which, depending on the season can take a bit of time), I move it into section 2. All fresh stuff from that point on will not be mixed in again. Of course in section 2 there will be a mixture of organic matter, some broken down, others pretty fresh. The bird activity in combination with the bacterial and fungal activity will continue to break this down. As soon as it's broken down enough and we can barely recognize what it was, we move it into section 3 - to aerate the pile and for the final composting process. Honestly, we don't use real rocket science here, but simply look at the conditions of the pile: the quantity and how much of it has broken down. Hope that makes sense! ;)

[@gardeningrelaxation]

Your farm is one of the most beautiful one. I don't know you can plant vegetable under the trees.

[@troopsteve1]

Much respect. I am also in a 7b zone. Do you have a planting schedule? To include your interplanting combinations?

[@dennisdreiercordua6388]

Hi Mornero. Love your video. Where do you buy the tunnel bows the things that holes the tunnel?

[@MattsPlotAllotmentchannel]

Great video, thanks for all information, Im going to try the ginger. Can i ask where you get your cloche hoops from? tks

[@gregor2853]

Does the ginger need a lot of light? And where do you get the trays? Regarding the compost; it is way more economical viable to let it be created by animals (deepbedding system) and use for example a tractor to turn it.

[@milupas]

Hey Moreno! Great great great stuff you are showing us here. I know you’re busy growing stuff but can’t wait to see how your farm is progressing late April. I recently took on two plots on an allotment site and need so much your advice! BTW - never seen trees used in that way on an intensive cropping vegetable farm, only with perennials underneath. Could you explain a bit more in details how the two parties work together? And things like competition for light, nutrients and water actually becoming an advantage, the drip line...

[@milupas]

Maybe I should be planting rows of trees between my raised beds..?

[@matheww9944]

Interesting comments on Composting, you should look at some of Charles Dowding content as he doesn't spend anywhere near as long as you've described creating his own compost.

[@cchurch5037]

Really enjoyed your video - may I ask what wire you use for those small hoops that hold the row covers? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@jeanbaptistepeglion2228]

Great work! As an already set up farm on small land, I'm really close to move to this no dig method. BUT , how to respect the organic standart (170u/N/ha per year) with that much compost layed down? And is it certified organic compost ? I can't find any around my area... Thx and have good season

Hi, good video, how is the corona impact in your place, take care

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hey Prakash thanks! To be honest, the corona virus doesn't impact our farm all that much. We have a large variety of wholesale customers and online distribution customers. These are the customers that are booming at the moment. Whilst the whole world is on 'lock down', these are the only stores left open and the produce they sell are in high demand. It's pretty clear that many farmers have to change their marketing and business approach, and move their produce from restaurant and farmers market sales, to more subscription based marketing, online sales, and wholesale. For every problem there's an opportunity.

[@2quick4u84]

Hi i see your garden is full of flle netting, do you you it for every crop at this time or just for brassicas? thanks and great job!

[@TheDutchFarmer]

They are fleeces. Yes they do keep insects out, to a certain extend, but these are only used for 'season extension'. They're basically made to create slightly better growing conditions: increased temperatures, protection from wind, frost and rain...

[@JScottAudio]

Hi would like to ask witch jang plate do you use for spinach please?

[@TheDutchFarmer]

I use actually two different ones. We grow a couple of varieties and some seed are smaller/bigger than others. For the bigger types we use F-24, brush up. For the smaller spinach seed; X-24. If you only get one, I would take the F-24. This will also work for the smaller seeded varieties of Spinach. You'll only have to change the settings of the brush depending on the size of the seed.
