This year I converted my garden to no till and a few raised beds. I'm 68 and have moved 12 tons of compost, wood mulch, and manure all by hand shoveling. It's looking fabulous but still have more to do. Incorporating vertical growing and companion planting. Your market garden is a master piece! Your gardening philosophy is what I am trying to accomplish. I have been tilling for years. NO MORE TILLING. I HAVE UNLIMITED FREE MULCH, LEAF COMPOST, AND HORSE MANURE. JUST HAVE TO DO A LOT OF SHOVELING! Really enjoyed your vision and video 👍.

@@thelister4910 I have watched several different videos on no till Gardening most impressive was BACK TO EDEN GARDEN there are several other videos also. To get started just figure on lots of material. I used approximately 45 cubic yards that equals about 90 tons of compost, manu, and wood mulch. This covered 3,200 sf of garden. I used a ratio of 60 percent leaf Compost to 40 percent horse manure in rows 24" wide about 48" apart 8" deep. Between the rows was 100 percent wood Mulch about 24" wide 8" deep. We're harvesting every day now and I have had a bumper crop on everything so far with very few weeds. Our garden includes arched cattle panels for tomatoes cucumbers and beans. Also 4 large raised beds. We have harvested 350 onions 140 lb potatoes, 125 quarts of green beans, over 500 cucumbers, 40 quarts of tomatoes, and still Canning more, 200 lb of zucchini, 40 lb of carrots, 30 pints of beets, yet to harvest about 60 winter squash and about 150 lb of sweet potatoes. Our first sweet corn crop yeilded 275 ears the second one is about ready to pick. A separate garden tilled plot. It's been a great success with the new NO TILL GARDEN. It took me about 2 months to hand shovel the new garden. I would do it again.but glad I don't have to. I will be amending the soil each year with worm castings, and Compost and wood mulch. Good luck 👍 and happy Gardening

@Jeffrey Tham Following up on the new NO TILL GARDEN. What a unbelievable year. We're not done yet but this is some of our harvest. 340 onions over 500 cucumbers, canned 45 quarts of pickles, 120 qts green beans, 36 qts of potatoes and 70 lbs for winter, about 200 summer squash and 50 winter squash canned tomatoes, sauce, juice, salsa, 150 total 36 pints of picked beets, 275 ears of sweet corn, picking 200 more in 2 days. The corn was a separate garden. Now picking our fall green beans, probably another 50 quarts. Still have to harvest our bumper crop of sweet potatoes. Estimating about 200 lbs based on my test digs. Not bad for a new 3200 sf garden. My carrots were my only failure. 300 carrots with no flavor. Gonna have to work on that for next year. Happy Gardening Jeffrey

Gold Hunter most of those grocery stores are only saying the produce in those sections is from local farms but in reality it’s the same stuff in the other produce section but at twice the cost! The local grocery stores in my area do the same thing but won’t buy produce from the local farmers and we have a relative that works there and they have disclosed what they actually do and they are lying to everyone and raking in your money and everyone is falling for it!! The only place you can get local organic produce and know that it truly is local organic produce is by driving straight to the farm and deal with the farmer directly. If you don’t do that then you deserve the pesticide ridden junk from Mexico, sorry.

I have a 10M x 10M in my yard I have grown for 2 years and from the start my motivating focus was my extreme dislike of weeding. I moved into a 6 year old home with a back yard that the previous owner had allowed to become extremely weedy which I decided to turn into garden. Knowing full well the weeds would sprout back up if I tilled it, I covered the prospective garden with heavy cardboard overplayed thickly with dead leaves. In Spring I had a layer of fresh compost to plant in. To avoid weeds invading, I covered planted areas with paper that is just heavy enough to survive the summer; thereby avoiding tilling and allowing weeds a foothold. In the meantime, I composted everything I could get my hands on and began raising compost worms in bins by feeding them household food waste. I applied a layer of compost and vermicompost mix and it's coming along quite well in its second season. So I discovered the benefits of no- till almost accidentally through my dislike of weeding and I just feel better and better about it as I listen to everything Richard has to say.

Good for you. It sounds like you're having a lot of fun. I have had to grow in pots too many trees at my house so I don't get a lot of weeds, but I helped my sister in law with her garden. So much work the old fashioned way, constant weed pulling, or watering. I hate those weeds also!! Started to research the different methods last year and my sister in law is giving me space to grow at her house. She will love this process so much healthier and less work. This channel pops up and I see what's possible for me on a very small scale, so exciting, can't wait to get my hands dirty. LOL, now if it would only stop raining.

I have that much more time focusing on my produce instead of weeds. Thank you for sharing your philosophy, knowledge, passion and educating me. I love your market garden.

I am in Northern Germany. Our soil is sand. The apple trees were not doing well, when rain came it just rolled off the soil and took top soil with it. My neighbor has tons of old straw he was going to discard in his forest, so I asked him if I could have it and since then I have covered everything with a thick layer of straw. I am not a market garden but have 12 raised beds and live off the veggies I grow. the improvement in the soil is dramatic. I add a fresh layer every fall. Although I do have some weeds, there are very few. Of course, all my neighbors smiled kindly and thought I was nuts. Now the temperatures have risen dramaticall, nobody laughs any more! My shoes remain clean, the soil under the straw is alive with earth worms, I have tons of apples and veggies, even in this incredible heat. The straw soaks up the rain. The disadvantage: slugs hide under the straw and all raised beds have to be protected by wire against voles.

I can testify that no-dig really does prevent perennial weeds - but you may need to give it some time :-) I am so grateful to you Richard for motivating us to keep going when we mentioned to you at your course in Stockholm last year that we were spending 80% of our time weeding our newly laid no dig beds. We had laid them directly on a field of couch grass in the Spring just before planting. In hindsite we should have done it in the Autumn and probably tilled the ground first. However, last September we put a new layer of cardboard and 5 cm compost on the beds and covered them with thick black plastic. We also dug a trench round the growing area and lined it with plastic to stop new couch grass re-entering from the surrounding field. We have not had a single strand of couch grass in the beds this year! And we have a lot of funghal growth which I believe is a good sign. Now we only have to remove the odd annual weed. This year I bought a tilther from you but only use it to break up the lumps in newly laid compost. It saves a lot of work - highly recommended!

I wish this was something my family knew years ago when they'd till up a big garden and made us kids slave away at pulling weeds and watering every single day in 100 degree heat. I hated gardening when I was younger because of that, but now I love to garden because now I know how to do it right using wood chips and cardboard mulch and composting to place. I'll even compost vegetable scraps, lawn clippings and tree leaves directly in a foot paths that later gets raked up onto the garden beds at the beginning of each season instead of having a separate compost heap that needs turned. Saves so much time and energy, plus I imagine every time it rains all those liquid nutrients are already in the garden where I want them to be creating as little waste as possible. I've even made compost living in the city for our potted plants on a very small scale just using an old cement bag and "kicking" it to mix the kitchen scraps and newspaper shreds. It worked really well lol.

Thank you Richard, I am excited to do this with our medicinal/aromatic crops here in Quebec. When you spoke about disease taking people that are not robust enough as a mere way of recycling organic matter and nutrients back into the soil, that was disappointing in a way as it is not observing the healing and defensive allies we have in plants as a way to ward off pre-mature death and suffering. Be careful in holding the raw force of natures cycles against the human capacity to heal and make wise choices. The whole exists as an expression of unity between self and community, not only to serve the soil. Best.

Our rabbits and donkeys live on the thistles (it's their goody-stuff) nettles feed butterflies and give us great nutrient rich fertilizers while providing feed and accomnmodation to nettle butterflies and other bugs. We also eat the fresh young leaves! As you've said, everything has its own place in a biotop and a natural ecosystem, it's a closed loop environment!

A good way to keep your garden tools clean and rust free, is to build a wooden box wide enough for your tools metal parts to fit inside. Fill the wooden box with sand, and pour your used engine oil and mix it into the sand. When you are finished with your tool, jab it into to oily sand and it will clean and lubricate the tool to prevent rust.

Your garden beds are a pure joy to look at and I agree that inviting your customers to visit is the best marketing you could do to entice more sales. I’ve seen so many small farms and homestead channels that are chaotic messes with bolted plants, weeds 6’ high taking over beds and disease and insect issues. These same folks use broad forks, or worse, rototillers. One channel plants cover crops along side his growing crops and ends up throwing most of his produce to his chickens and pigs. Nothing I’d like to replicate and nor would I want to eat from these gardens. But you and Charles Dowding have beds that are inspirational. Since I’ve gone to no-dig and began feeding my soil I’ve hardly had any weed issues at all. As with you, I’ve had mostly river birch seedlings and occasionally walnut seedlings popping up. I’m just a home gardener but it’s my passion and I grow food crops as well as flowers. But even small scale growers like me can save so much time and energy with the no-dig feed the soil approach! And I thank you and Charles for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience with us. This planet would be healthier if your practices become more widely adopted.

Your comments re homesteader who feeds his crop to the pigs. I know who you refer to. But they are not market gardeners, they grow and use the produce for their family and friends only . They produce, pork, beef and chicken and eggs from the garden not from bought grain. So in this context they are doing it right and - very commendable. A complete different set up to Richards. But a good one in their way.

Profits still cause doubt, so many large operations will not buy into it unless they can believe it wont affect their slimey pockets - but some do and they show promise. PS: Look up gabe brown - treating the farm as an eco system. It's a long talk that blew my mind.

Love your farm. Good information. I agree with your view of nature. Mother nature is the greatest serial killer in history. All life on earth depends on other life forms dying. The great cycle of life and death is ever present in nature. Farmers seem to recognize this more than other people less in tune with the land. Learning to work with nature is a lot easier than trying to fight against it.

Yeah, modern day farming techniques is all about man vs nature and conquering the land, doing it man's way, using big heavy machinery and not trying to simulate and work with nature

Careful planning, for sure. Greatest veggie garden I've seen. Ruth Stout used old hay and continued adding to her garden year after year. She had an abundant garden! No weeds, very little watering, and all organic. I think she began the revolution of No Till Gardening.

My mom has been using woodchips for years and is having wonderful results. She is a lifelong gardener and I have seen the tremendous impact that this natural barrier has on reducing 'weeds'.

Howdyyawl from the land down under. My wife & I live on a hundred acres on the mid north of South Australia. It can be challenging at times as the soul is limestoney. Making our own compost is the key to success as we have animal poo to help the compost. Like your video. Keeping it real😊
