To help you recognise when growth is not healthy, and what we can learn from that.
I show how plants may look unhappy because of recent weather, soil conditions or varietal traits. Plants give messages: understanding them helps to know whether or not we can help, and how..

Here we all are, watching an invaluable gardening class taught by a master gardener. Thank you, Charles!!

As a farmer's son, I was used to this scheme: manure, cultivate, plough, rotivate and plant. Still I think for big farms this is the way to go because of the heavy weights of equipment on the soil. In the beginning I did the same in my private garden... Since I discovered your insights, vegetables grew better thanks to the No Dig method. I thought I knew a lot about vegetable growing, now I know lots more thanks to buying your books! You have been an inspiration for me and I'm sharing your insights with other farmers and their sons and daughters. God bless you, always relaxing to watch and listen to your vids. You most have been already more forgotten than we will ever know...

Man I love watching these. Nothing else on KZfaq gets me more excited than a new video notification for Charles’ videos.

The nitrogen sequestration by the decomposition of woodchip, also means that it is excellent as a weed-suppressant mulch, as the weeds that do germinate starve for lack of nitrogen.

Watching on Dec 27 2023 . Very encouraging. Am using more wood chips, however I tilled one bed 3 by 15 ft with 2-3 inches of 4 month old woodchips and rabbit manure. Only finding out about no-till, no-dig. So I'm gonna plant some type of peas as a cover crop on that bed. My experiment started.

You are such an excellent teacher! When you were explaining how the beans needed heat for photosynthesis, something just clicked in my brain and I felt myself become a better gardener :) Thank you!

Fun to “wander” through the garden with you Charles and learn. I’m sure you’ve set some gardener minds at ease now they know why their plants look as they do. Thanks!
