I AM nota a farmer but i am in love with this new regenerative farming idea. It seems to be so

[@alexandrapatricio2727]

Simple while resolving so many problems In the meanwhile. I hope that on a decade it is implemented all over the planet

YOUR FARM IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Hoping to run a small farm in the Philippines as a leisure farming when we retire... I've been studying all aspects of regenerative farming and vermicomposting in the past 3 years and i think I am almost there. I just need to apply it in a large scale. I'm just waiting for the right time to pack up everything and start a new life... the farm life... You earned my sub sir, thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful farm...

Question: is it economical for farmer? If I am thinkink abou it, I need to buys all of new equipment for this kind of farming (there are no contractors and shared equipmet), and I dont have big farm to pay all of this stuff. The second think is about cover crop, because seed cost something too. Thank you for your respond 😀

If you own a casual grain seeder it is possible to build a low budget No-Till-seeder with it. There are many cost savings with no-till. But be prepared for making mistakes during the first tries. Learning some lessons by making mistakes can be expensive. Already I learned last years and payed the price.

I’d appreciate if you had comment on “Syntropic Agroforestry”, I’m assuming you are familiar with Permaculture and with Alan Savory and “Holistic Management”

[@incorectulpolitic]

how did ancient farmers plant the seeds without modern machinery/tools ?

[@rabbiinsan470]

They just broadcast the seeds & when seeds get mosture they germinate

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@rabbiinsan470 but how do the seeds get to the soil through the cover crops when doing no till farming? and how did they prevent birds and other animals from eating the seeds ?

[@locybapsi174]

@@incorectulpolitic They didn't do no till farming. Tillage was necessary step of ancient farming

[@cody481]

With a stick

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@locybapsi174 yeah but tilling leads to desertification.

Hi, do you think farmers in US use your sort of methods?

[@TioPablitoGaviria]

No-till is usual in USA since 1960s.

Does “trace” publish books or articles or have a newsletter? If so I want to buy or subscribe. IF THEY ARE IN ENGLIS. . I’m from the home of P. a. Yeomans, you should read his books. Also the home of Esther Deanes you should read her work, I think she pioneered no dig. DO YOU HAVE A “Demonstration Farm” if so, can I have the details, I’d like to visit.

Hi, ich hab ne Frage. Kann man diese Methode des Rollens und Säens auch auf einer etablierten dauerwiese anwenden?

[@schobi791]

denke ich, dass eher schwierig ist, weil der Unkrautdruck bei einer 'natürliche' Wiese wesentlich höher ist durch höhere Sortendichte und unterschiedliche Auflaufzeiten der einzelnen Sorten, ergo schwieriger den einen perfekten Zeitpunkt für's Rollen zu finden. Aber halt mich am laufenden, falls du gegenteilige Erfahrung machst :)

Gras kriegst mit walzen nicht tot. Da muss Zaubersaft drauf.

Il solito video che fa vedere tutto facile e pulito😂😂😂😂Questa è pura propaganda. vorrei vedere la cultura fino la raccolta altrimenti ho ragione...a si vero, le infestanti mangeranno tutto creando diversi problemi per la raccolta,se qualcosa rimarrà.

Si può notare che voi italiani siete ancora mentalmente bloccati nel secolo scorso. Con voi, anche nella zona arida con un enorme Vomere è arato estremamente profondo. Retromondo!
