Only time I till is when starting a new garden area which is usually as hard as a rock! Before I till, I put down at least six inches of leaves and then light a fire and carefully burn all the leaves. This really helps eliminate most weed seeds in the top 2-3 inches of soil. Then I'll add more leaves and some straw(not hay!) on top along with some 10-10-10 and till it all in. I let it sit a few weeks or a month then plant my seeds or seedlings. This gives you a basic good setup for a garden area you really don't need to amend or adjust for the first 2 months of growth. I try to go light on fertilizer because of salt! You cannot get the salt out! I've transitioned to jadam and natural home made fertilizers and am seeing decent results but time will tell. The reason you don't want to till is the fact that the soil becomes its own ecosystem rife with those little bugs working hard to break things down. Tilling just upsets the entire system. I'll still till a row here and there to incorporate compost or fresh green matter but it is rare. Thanks for the insights!

@johndoh51823 ай бұрын
Dogma is a bad thing and I used that very word many videos ago on this very topic where people think because they've seen cardboard set down and then compost added to the top and then mulch and then put plants into that, this will always be a good solution. So this really depends because if you have the material to bring in you can use different treatments first which help to penetrate the clay soil, plant some plants that are known to work their way into clay soil, terminate those crops, maybe cover with tarp for a few months and THEN come in with cardboard along with a very thick layer of compost and a good growing medium so that for the most part the roots don't need to go down into the clay, but even if they do the clay was opened up some. For the rest of us that's impractical because we can't bring in enough material and I'm going to bring in a sandy soil and a lot of compost and do a deep tillage. But to say the inverse, that a deep till is always good for clay soil is ALSO dogma, and what works is going to be dependent on the land and environment, access to different materials, what crops you want to grow, etc...... If you're always working to build up a bigger layer of growing medium on top of the clay soil then broadforking isn't important depending on how the drainage works.

Your comment sounds like that is yours too because a suggestion of any tilling seems to bother you and you challenge my simple statement. Of course there are other ways than initial tillage with compost amendment to convert clay soil that work, but they take longer, I am 70, don’t have time and know it works. Call that my “dogma” if you like, but my comment never said you have to till and there is no other way so you are tilting at windmills there. Understanding your soil structure and environment should be a prerequisite for any gardening and there is never one size fits all. Knowledgeable gardeners know that. I know my situation does not match Charles Dowding, or Jesse’s. Unfortunately there are many new gardeners that will never take the time to get the basics understood.

Is your compost completely weed-free? I sometimes think about knocking down the cover crop and putting compost on top of it to germinate any weeds in the compost while also breaking down the cover crop at the same time. Plus, the compost microbes would get a boost from feeding them the breaking-down cover crop in those weeks leading up to planting.

Jesse, I appreciate your videos and the effort you invest in creating them. I would very much like to follow your "no" or "minimum" till methods. I live in (hot) N.W. Fl. in "Sand County" (not really, but it IS, for all practical purposes, "Beach Sand.") I've been dragging organic materials to this property for over 40 years with little apparent increase in OM. I grow (mostly, except for my "kitchen garden") elephant garlic. Garlic is planted (as I'm sure you're aware) by burying cloves about 2-3" deep. If I didn't rotavate my garlic beds I could not push the seed cloves deep enough to avoid "cooking" in our merciless Fl. sun. I keep the beds covered (usually with iron and clay peas) during the hot months. I/C peas make SO MUCH "STUFF" that tilling them in is the "onliest" way to "git shed" of 'em. I have 'way too much bed area to tarp and my experiments with sorghum/sudan grass scared the livin' daylights outta me....(peas can be problematic too, but are easier to "pull" ...) I would welcome any suggestions you might care to make (not promising I'd necessarily follow them...) because producing (anything) here can be challenging. I long ago took to heart the necessity of keeping beds covered all the time and your dictum of keeping "living roots" in the ground at all times strikes true. Thanks again for all you do for us!

After trying numerous, seemingly fad methods, for what appeared to be only marginal gains, if any, I managed to distill my in ground & slightly elevated raised beds to a formula for main, if not all crops. I plant a winter kill, nitro fixing covercrop in mid fall, followed by 4 in +/- of leaf mould or chopped leaves in mid to late winter (after hard frost killed the cc.) Fertilizer & mulch is then in place for spring. Pull back to dirt for planting seedlings, or lay thin compost for direct sow/mound. Since the rhizosphere is so tiny, I'm now covercropping in the strips where I plant into rather than the whole bed. Oddly, no noticeable reduction in yield. I am not market gardening. For a home gardener, it is the minimal amount of effort that produces maximum results with little damage to the soil. I provide plenty of worm casting drench at planting & castings there after.

I try to limit tilling to new ground and then only to small areas. I have an old Gravely walk behind with a rotary plow and the shallow rotary cultivator, which looks like a conventional roto tiller, but is easy to set for shallow tillage. The rotary plow is great for making trenches or raised beds. I tried growing pumpkins in the paw paw orchard this year and used the rotary plow to make an initial three foot wide by fifty foot long trench in the sod. I left this open for some time, added compost then used the rotary plow to throw the soil back into the trench. I planted hills down the center and mulched with cardboard and pine slabs from a sawmill. I just had to pull a few seedling weeds around the sprouts. When the orchard grew up with hay and weeds, I scythed it and used this hay to mulch the trees and pumpkins. So far, the vines are spreading nicely. By tilling just a narrow swath, I think it keeps mycorrhizal fungi intact along side the trench, so it re-populates the disturbed area quickly. Mowing hay may be energy intensive, but it leaves the ground covered.

I understand this video is directed to home gardeners. There are severe reasons to not use 'no till'. The Maumee river drainage in Northwest Ohio is an example. Farmers were coerced into no till farming by, surprise surprise, agriculture scientists a while back to reduce soil erosion. They had previously deep tilled and fertilized. With no till becoming popular because of fuel and time savings, they currently top fertilize with both chemical fertilizer and animal manure. It works, for the farmers. Unfortunately, the surface fertilizing quickly washes into the drainage, then into the Maumee, which enters Lake Erie. This over fertilizes the lake causing extreme algal blooms that in recent years have actually shut down the Toledo water system and spread through the rest of the lake. To which the farmers reply, "So? Not our problem. We did as you suggested, It works for us. Too bad for anybody else."

I prefer no-till because it works for me and it's less work and I don't like destroying the worm tunnels, etc. But I don't follow the argument that tilling brings up seeds from deep below for them to germinate. Seeds don't develop deep in the soil, instead they develop above soil and fall on top of the soil. If seeds are deep in the soil, it's because they have been tilled in there, meaning they were removed from the chance of germination which is a good thing. If they are brought back up at the next tilling and are still viable then they may germinate but that would not be a net bad thing since they would have germinated previously anyway. Maybe someone can explain this conundrum to me.

So, love your channel. Great ideas a theroys involved. And they r almost a no trainer, for a longer growing season, which u have. 2 questions. I'm in Canada. We have a 5 month growing season on a good year. Sometimes less. So, utilizing only an acre of growing area is extremely hard. Multiple plantings is not always an option. Thus we need more acreage to have multiple plantings. We need to utilize more area so we can have multiple plantings throughout the shorter season. Your type if low till solutions r great for a smaller acerage, but what about when that us not an option. I am currently, just getting into the market gardening career. But to do what u do on one acre, take me 5 acres. I'm alking financially at this point. U can do multiple plantings of lettuce and carrots and such but that is almost not an option for us. My carrots have just come on, and can b harvested. But once harvested, I can't plant another round cause we just don't have the time. So, have u heard of or know of ppl that do this type of farming over very large areas, without breaking the bank on such things like labour or just the fact that only one crop can b grown per season. As for tillage, I love the minimal tillage idea. Weeding is such a nightmare. Would a deep tillage ( not sure the name of thw implement, but it is basicly a row of 7 or so spikes that drive into thw ground to break everything up) it doesn't turn any soil, but breaks up that compaction and allows airflow into the soil about 18" down. Basicly u r just opening the earth for nutrients and o2 to get down deep. Loosens the soil so roots can break through easier. What r your thoughts on this? Is just opening the soil and not actually turning it over a way to keep life within thw soil alive and vigorous but utilizing a tillage on larger scales.

I think the implement you're describing is a spring tooth harrow. They were primarily used to level out and de-clod the mold board plowed field. Just try new ideas on small areas and see what works. As for the winter season, the old timers would use that time to build new equipment, fix old equipment, keep the housed stock fed, build up the manure pile, buy supplies for spring.....you get the idea. When not actively growing they actively prepared for growing. It's a lifestyle, no matter how big or small the garden, farm or agribusiness. Hope this helps. Now days, I'm one of the old timers.

I don't think we can talk about till vs no till in orgnic systems without refering to REDOX (see Olivier Hussons mammoth papers or his more accessible presentations on YT) it's arguably much more important than pH, and if you also include information on pest and pathogen resistance relationships to nutrition, from people like John Kempf & Dr Don Huber, and how diverse soil biology provides those nutrients naturally in Nature from people like Dr James White & Dr. Elaine Ingham, no till becomes a no brainer. BUT you have to earn the right to go no till first, by removing compaction, supplying the minerals and soil biology lacking, and best management choices so your soil doesn't recompact (by the multitude of different routes and practices available). I'm convinced that with the correct mineral profile, diverse biology, good soil aggrigation to provide a range of REDOX, and good garden management to maintain those conditions, we can raise pest and pathogen free, high nutrient density healthy food, and therefore start to reverse the collective decline in humanities health. Assuming we can do this before the world goes completely to hell in a hand basket that is (lol).

I can't assume to rip up the stump on every one of them so I cut them as low as possible, try to chop some of the biggest roots, but there are some heavy, ranging root systems spread underground that won't Naturally be composting any time soon, and just a little too dense for planting (and the gum trees are growing back in New shoots from roots). Would you guys run a one time heavy duty tiller through that? Maybe something that has more of a straight, slicing blade that cuts more than it does "throw"? Thanks if anyone responds.
