Normally you wouldn't think that watching a bunch of guys standing around watching other guys work would be interesting, but it was. The back and forth conversation of folks who are passionate about what they do imparts quite a bit of good information.

[@notillgrowers]

It’s funny you say that, because it’s a weird format but also one of our favorite videos we’ve ever done.

[@rickjames154]

Im am so glad to hear these guys talk about Charles Dowding everyone should know about him what a wonderful man and so full of information

[@jerricroft937]

Charles Dowding is my number one favorite of all time he may not be large-scale but for my style of farmers market a retiree I love his super and intense productive simple farming gardening. I got to tell you watching those guys work makes me tired Market gardening is hard work I don't care what anybody says it's hard work burnout I think it's a problem

[@jamlynmusic]

Holy moly. In just a few minutes, there are like 4 solid takeaways to change the way I flip beds even though I use the same tools. Thanks you guys!

[@broadforkacres4844]

Those guys are hella fast, I like how quickly they move from task to task.

[@jameskniskern2261]

I love the speed and efficiency of seeing experienced growers working. Learned lots from just this short video. I'm way slower than that, and can get so much more done faster and easier if I up my speed. Thanks.

[@combitz]

Great detailed explanation especially at the end, I've exported a lot of the best mulch into my compost bins last year so will keep the hoe off the beds this year and manually pull them. Makes perfect sense when you hear it :)

[@cchurch5037]

Really interesting video to have a bunch of you guys with such expertise talking shop and the practical action happening at the same time - great stuff 👍

[@dandan8333]

Excellent teamwork interviewing... beautiful video!

[@MC-ko2mx]

These guys are the definition of hustle - very cool to see them flip beds like the pros they are.

[@andrewstacey4868]

Great interview.thanks for documenting jesse's first tilther pasd

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Wow they are fast! It makes it look a lot more fun to work with other guys than just doing it alone!

[@oldman1111]

I love it when everyone involved learns from each other.

[@BradleyBegent]

Awesomeness! The boyz got it down flat. Thanks for the video. Love it.

[@MartinVandepas]

Great info here! I'm glad I stumbled across this. Johnny's just released an updated version of the Tilther, called Tilther XT, and the original version of the Tilther is on sale.

[@toneyjohnson8910]

You guys have the bed flip down to a science.

[@JeeJeanVittoVlogs]

Beautiful Garden. Thank you for sharing tips and ideas.

[@dannyhughes4889]

[@moneymikegotuvideos312]

[@BigMicksLittlePlot]

The dewalt ground worker!!! its amazing!!!!

[@kathrynplett8386]

This was very helpful! Super efficient and I was listening hard for the recipe on compost and the amendments. Not sure I quite got it.

[@alrachid2]

Super dank and informative.

[@RuffEdgesBakery]

Fun video. Thank you

[@tayloracreshomestead887]

Amazingly quick! Looks really nice! Appears to be working like a finely oiled machine!! Fun to watch the speed and efficiency that these guys work!!

[@zinnialady5153]

Nice video.

[@rosea830]

Awesome!

[@joshuapollard1]

Lol he kind of looks like Parker from Gold Rush. Great video as always

[@dantescanline]

This is it! this is the video! Watching these guys work has got me HYPED

[@hottlimited]

I’m glad you young fellas can do all of work, but I gotta use my tractor and tiller to get my garden ready. I’m a little on the old side .

[@reformationinc.3376]

Ruth Stout didn't use a tractor

[@MC-ko2mx]

You gotta do what you gotta do, sir. Good on you, and keep on farming :)

[@veggiemom5]

Nice!!!

[@mockadoodle1]

Would you please list the additives to your soil and approximate proportions? I caught alfalfa meal, seaweed and dried fish but I didn’t catch the others. Thank you so much - I appreciate it.

[@jasonsimmons4319]

Why? You should use amendments that you need, not what others use. Get a soil test and design your amendments based on that.

[@ashleyalexander7388]

easier to just shimmy a knife tool to cut just below ground level?

[@rustyr9693]

Farmer Jesse, I live in Kentucky in the Lexington area, do you have any suggestions where to get compost? I’m starting my first no till beds, I have only found thoroughbred compost, thanks

[@notillgrowers]

No great compost int he area but Thoroughbred is your best bet!

[@billastell3753]

The trouble with thoroughbreds is depending on the owner they could be full of chemicals and antibiotic.

[@wovada]

Грядки вы расположили поперёк склона? Это грамотно.

[@kusmawatisofianan2935]

I very like

[@cqammaz53]

I notice last fall when I pulled some of my plants out the roots were growing outwards as opposed to downwards. About 2 inches from the top of the ground. I don't what to take out the beast to till the ground The last time I use it It dragged me behind it into the neighbor's yard. I'm too scared to use it again. Do you recommend I use a broad fork instead?

[@70washington]

You could, though you may want to take smaller bites of ground to try it out, say 6-8 inch broad forking increments until you get the feel what works best for you.

[@fallenangelwi25]

That could mean water isn't going down far enough. So water more thoroughly and don't rewater until underneath needs it again

[@Damian_mtn]

Is that Josh Sattin behind the cam?

[@mikeschatz9153]

Ummm wow!

[@hulyadalaley]

Extra efficient crew If they want workaway on Aegean coast @urlaroots they are welcome looking for no tilling experienced julia

[@nickrichards8516]

what broadfork is he using? meadow creature?

[@notillgrowers]

I’ll check. Not the meadow creature though

[@daisy98015]

What's that for?

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Any time you 'turn' the soil your technically 'Tilling' so this would be Minimal Tilling then?! I have no problem with tilling, I think each situation is different. This seems to be the LEAST disturbing of the earth if your in a situation where you do have to 'breakup' the soil so you can re-plant a plot.

[@Enjoy_my_1st_Amendment]

8:30 over use of organic matter is definitely a management responsibility therefore completely our fault. If we look at compost as growing biological life and not just as a soil and nutrient supplement. Our goal being inoculating enormous amounts of soil life with every application. Our beds would handle more organic matter. In no way are we applying as much matter as a deciduous forest supplies its soil in a season. Yet it is being processed and new life sprouts abundantly. In no way are we growing the volume a forest can by sheer mass. That suggests a missing link, no? At the end of the day organic matter will inevitably be nutrients so if we are having a buildup of matter we need to focus on introducing more life to manage the loads. Never heard anyone say my soil is to fertile. Matter equals fertility the missing piece in our narrow perspective is thinking of compost as just a nutrient supplement. The ratio of life to nutrients in quality compost is not even comparable. Different ages of compost inoculate different organisms into our bed, observe, inoculate, rinse and repeat. Why are we spending our time on the nutrients of compost when it's the life that runs the system in the first place? Take care of A then B and C will inherently take place.

[@sheelaghomalley3292]

Peat moss? Really?

[@ERMAV]

Hahahah

[@krinkoko6561]

you are using a fork

[@jasonsimmons4319]

Oh No!!!! A FoRk!!!!! How dare he....

[@mikeschatz9153]

Every one of those dudes has zero body fat and look super healthy. Could anything be more inspiring? Maybe there enthusiasm.
