Jim Kovaleski just recently turned this area into the beautiful garden space that you see. It used to be occupied by a giant spruce tree and latent, compacted soils. By feeding the ground with layers of harvested grass, the soil is living and his crops are thriving!

There is plenty of studies and evidence that this is in fact what is happening under ground. One of the pioneers is Elaine Ingham who coined the name the soil food web. Several decades ago she got her microscope out to look at what was going in the soil and just kept on learning and putting things together along with many other micro biologists like Dr. Christine Jones. If you want to hear an interesting lecture check out Dr. David Johnson kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbVioap51pqUiJc.html. It’s crazy to see all the microscopic life that exist in the soil through the microscope. Been learning about this stuff through Elaine’s on-line courses through the Soil Food Web School.

Love the Jim vids. Dandelions are deep rooted as he said BUT they come when soil needs help and stay thick as thieves to heal and help the soil until not needed then slowly die back. Don't pull the dandelions! Use the flowers for tea - so good for you and tasty. Then they will repay you with more roots and deeper penetration pulling nutrients up from way down deep. Free fertilizer! Plus they are pretty and their little heads follow the sun just as sunflowers do. Sweet yellow blessings.

Dandelion leaves in the spring are delicious sautéed with garlic in olive oil and sprinkled with lemon juice (southern European style) or wilted with garlic in bacon fat and sprinkled with vinegar (northern European style). My grandmother would wait for the new growth with bated breath to pick them before they flowered and their leaves became tough and bitter. Not the same as the domesticated variety from the grocery.

Few people understand the value of mulching like Jim K. does! As opposed to straw, hay/grass has a higher mineral content - that's why the worms love the stuff. And for those worried about seeds in hay - DON'T because the seeds need 'cold dormancy' to germinate...do the research. Another GREAT mulch I use is fresh-cut alfalfa - OMG - the soil's microbiome goes into overdrive. Mulching is labor intense BUT the long term benefits will add up each season by a factor of three. Don't forget, soil is never built down - it's built up. GREAT video Pete and Jim - thank you! Many blessings.

To start a garden should I till first then add my grass mulch? Or just add the mulch to form the garden?

@ross6343 2 жыл бұрын

@@todd1388 Frankly, it all depends on your soil type. If you have a good loom, no need to till if you use the 'lasagna method' - do a YT search for lasagna gardening [you'll undoubtedly come across Charles Dowding in England - watch his lasagna technique]. If your soil contains clay [a good mineral source], then some tilling up front while adding compost and other sources of humus will speed up soil conditioning. One of the best 'methods' for working with clay rich dirt I've come across is called JADAM, a form of Korean natural farming. There's a YT video showing how to do JADAM raised beds - very informative. The last option is also expensive - 'contained' raised beds like 'justframeit' and 'vege' or those offered by outfits like Gardeners Supply 0r Tractor Supply or those 'big box' stores. I'm 70+ years old and grew up on a farm that practiced J. I. Rodale ideas. What I'm saying is I've seen most every gardening approach in practice today...well...this 'no till fad' is an oxymoron to me for several different reasons. Two last suggestions I'll make to you as a new gardener [even seasoned gardeners] is this...learn how to use worm castings and worm castings extract [some call worm tea - another oxymoron to me]. Nature's biology is always right and earth worms lead the way in giving consistent results season after season with the nutrient dense food anyone could hope to grow. Lastly, learn how to incorporate Alfalfa use in your gardening practice for two primary reasons: a). alfalfa contains a plant growth hormone called triacontanol and b). the soil's microbiome loves alfalfa. Hope this helps! Good luck.

Get some cattle panels in there Jim! Make arches out of them and grow your winter squash up and over. Jess from Roots and Refuge youtube channel has some awesome videos showing how much she grows on the cattle panel arches. I tried it last year with butternut plants and they grew wonderfully. I couldn't believe that the squashes could hold on without breaking off the vine while being grown vertically. I want to try again this spring with more squashes, smaller melons and cucumbers. Last year the critters devoured my seedlings and dug up a bunch of my seeds. Live and learn I guess, lol. I love your videos and learn so much from you Pete and Jim, God bless you guys!

I think Jim said in the video that he pulls back the mulch and plants. It reminds me of Paul Gautschi’s Back to Eden Garden. In my experience, pulling back the already laid mulch is a useful way to apply this method because starts can be damaged if done the other way and it’s much faster to lay mulch without worrying what’s in the way. Once plants have established its a bit easier to lay mulch around them, which may be needed if your mulch gets consumed quickly.

I like the idea of harvesting grass for garden use, but we are battling perilla mint in our pasture. It's the only thing the goats wont touch (which is good because it is toxic) and it is very proliferate. We have been pulling it for the last few years but they keep coming up worse. We tried pulling them a little earlier this year, maybe that will help.

@willbass2869 2 жыл бұрын

@@johndoby yeah in the case of dairy cows (or hogs or poultry) fed a grain heavy diet the soil definitely will develop excess potassium and phosphorus. In many cases, the buildup is so bad that plant growth is impaired because balance between elements is so outta whack. Thus in turn can cause problems with animal metabolism function. The late Jerry Brunetti wrote quite a bit about soil health impacting animal health. Best remedy for excess P/K, ironically, is to grow a crop of corn for grain and sell it. Don't feed to your stock. You are in effect exporting the imbalance somewhere, hopefully, that is P or K deficient.

Ruth Stout gardening method is what this is, nothing new. I have been using this method for 13 years now and will never go back to any previous methods I tried,.... i.e. tilling, wood chips, etc. I live in the south, red clay soil that turns hard as a rock after a rain. The same garden spot that used to be red clay is now rich black soil that grows anything I plant in it after using the Ruth Stout method...mulching with hay/grass.
