"Fast forward their lifecycle to decomposition" is the most gangster thing I've heard all day

Considering the series is about home gardening, the quality of the content didn't reduce a bit... Lots of info with the best ways of explanation!! ❤️

I highly recommend this channel. It's like no other. Nichole is just the best in what she does. Hope to see more frequent uploads.🙂🙂🙂

I'm beginning to suspect that this is going to be another great series. Keep wearing the big chapeau.

I'm glad that you are conversing with someone that is smart and beautiful. I love gardening and plants.

This series is far too good. I thought KZfaq had a quality limit. :) Excellent work, True Food TV.

Yey, that’s what I did in my garden, putting card boards to a sandy soil here Florida😀

I hope you keep this series going. I started following this channel years ago when I first got into gardening, and videos like this breathe new life to this channel; I’m hooked!

Cardboard is kraft paper and does not contain chemicals except possibly kaolin (a natural aluminum silicate) which is a stabilizing agent and improves the surface for appearance and printing. Kraft paper is not bleached so no residual bleaching chemicals are present. Corrugated cardboard is multilayered with corrugated layer in between. These layers and the surface of the corrugations significantly increase the surface area for the activity of microorganisms. I put my cardboard boxes out back and let the rain and sun work on them. I mix them with other waste like leaves, pine straw and small wood chips from a chipper I bought this year. I run a mower over this and it shreds the cardboard and mixes it with the other material and I have more free stuff for raised beds and containers. Another great video. Keep it up. Quarantined folks have plenty of time to garden.

you have a talent Nicole. i've never heard someone explain boring soil and made it seems soooo interesting.

Loving these series......... delightful to watch....

LOVE this channel! Everything about it, especially Nicole !!!

I’ve started gardening more this year myself. I was able to use a school greenhouse to start plants last december! Just planted my tomatoes and peppers outside yesterday. There’s already tomatoes growing now and pepper flowers. Can’t wait for later this summer!

Thank you for the simple easy to follow information, looking forward to having a go at this method and saving myself an awful lot of backache. Loved the video.

This is my new favorite channel! I’ve started a little budding flower farm and I really enjoy your tips! - Kristen

WOW! You have a twin, I seen this several times and will try a "No dig" in the spring but at ground level. My first try at raised bed ment lots and often watering. Great job Necoil for you have quickly became my favorite you tube sales person who is a very gifted talker. Backer Creek Seeds are a great place to deal with. Your husband is very skilled with his video skills. Really love your video you just release late September showing your beautiful gardens and cooking skills. But mostly show that the best foods comes fresh from the garden and the work is rewarding. Thanks you both, What a team.

I've heard of it referred to as "Lasagna" gardening. "No Till" as you know has been used for years. Great video as always!

Mushroom Compost is some of the best stuff to use. I love it and your so fortunate to live so close to this resource. I have had great success with mushroom compost and use it each year.

Learning a lot here...thanks and that slow motion drone clip of u walking out of the garden was amazing!

Fantastic videos with great content. I’m going to share them with a friend who has no confidence in gardening and gives up. Thank you so much.

Love yr energy! U r very knowledgeable and pleasurable to watch😘

I follow Charles Dowding & learnt about " No Dig " 5 years ago & boy is is the only way to garden. Great Video. Cheers Denise- Australia

I can't wait to see her garden this summer.

Yet another amazing video full of educational information and such happinesses just to be outside gardening. Thank you for everything you are doing to keep us informed and your family safe so we can keep getting your amazing videos

I can never not like your videos! Keep being awesome!!!

I found this channel tonight and this episode made me laugh. New subscription added. Thank you for teaching and keeping my interest. I am looking forward to catching up to see the 2021 videos. Hope they are as informational as this one. Nice Work!

Nicole, I love your channel. I have loved gardening since I was a preteen. No dig gardening is a lot easier and does provide superior results from my research. And you're the prettiest flower in the garden.

Thank you! I have a small yard and started a raised bed which cut into my budget but when I discovered Charles's Dowding YT channel I was sold! I recommend his channel when it comes to No Dig gardening.

Gardening the yard: it's all I do now, raised beds and tilling wastes so much time and space. There is a Ruth Stout method similar to this that uses hay for the dual purposes of mulch and compost: works similarly to hugelkultur by using plants decomposing to feed plants and prevent tilling. Love your videos, been a fan for years! Good work to all of you.

You guys do such an amazing job. Thank you 😊

I just love your content and their production is so Excellent. Keep up the good work I learn a lot from your program.

Super awesome.. looking forward to the rest of the series.

I do tilling once in two years, and I don't add manure to the soil, I just use the heavy clay soil from river near me and the crops grow better and better!

Yet another amazing episode! I’m definitely doing cardboard next year. What a great idea since I don’t rototill anymore. Your garden looks great. Now go back and close the gate! With you’re dramatic ending. Love it.

I just can't stop watching your videos. I hope videos like these motivate people to grow more plants and ultimately transform the way we are living now.

Super informative and concise, thanks!

We use the black fabric. Helps a ton with weeds😁

I love the way your videos are not explaining only the basic knowledge, but everytime you are digging a little deeper (haha ok not in this episode ;)). But seriously I learn something everytime and it's great!! Can't wait to start myself!

Great video and very well research. Explained very clearly.

I put landscape fabric on my tomato bed last year to cut down on the fungus infection problem I was having. After I planted my tomato's, I put a thick layer of pine bark over the fabric. I had some fungus last year but it was the air born type, not the soil born fungus I had the year before. Landscape fabric works.

thanks a lot. You help me on improving my English!!!

I love this channel so much ❤️♥️💙

This is a high grade content. This is beyond vlog.already good job!

Loved this video and information

Very informative! Just what I need it to know. I was trying to fugue out how not to spend $300. For a wooden box. You’re a beautiful soul! I been platting veggie for the last 5 years. Hello from East LA.

Please make a video on black seed oil as well. Thank you for all your hard work!

Great video! It is all about the soil life! Grow on!

I love this channel so much

Very informative..i'm looking forward to Episode 4.

Dang!!!!! This is such a great great great video. I loved that you had your son with you. He is going to be as smart as mama

Very fun and informative!

Wow... i have learned to kuch from you... I consider u as my new friend!!! Thank you so much

By the way love you the way you present your videos!

I watched this again. Because I love it and I love you. XOXO

Love this, Nicole!!!

Informative video keep up the good work

Here 6.00am morning a wakeup first face to watch TRUE FOOD TV....... MY CRUSH....

Best channel for food lover like me. Learning more and more frm this channel.

Thank you...I really loved it

Great job Nicole....👍

just loved your video... admiration from India!!

You said you used 4-5 inches compost on top of your cardboard and original soil. In the past I’ve read that you should not use compost straight, but mix it 50/50 with “dirt” :) ... any comments Nicole? Thank you!

Big Thumbs up for No Dig!!

Love it😍, as usual😘

What about vertical gardening? Maybe in another episode?

Great Job!

Monty Don's Japanese Gardens is on UK television, Sunday 23rd January at 9.15am on BBC2

was given a wormery last year. the tea i used from it seem to make my toms and chillies grow soooo much. plus wood ash and grass water. This year i emptied out the castings.(was llllloads) and i mixed it with git sand and coco coir to use to start my seeds off. everything is gorwing really healthy looking. im just dying to get past this next week which have zero degrees at night. gardening really is a thing to test my patients

Great video. Is the compost you used also called triple mix? That is all I can find at the landscape yards. Thank you

GREAT, GREAT VIDEO!!!! I have been doing it for about 6 years, i just add some compost on top in the late Fall!! Live in Central Ohio, had very tuff clay soil when i started. tuff to even drive a steel post into it when i first started but now its like a hot knife in butter!!!! I argue with MYSELF too!!! BUT, im not as easy on ME as YOU are on YOU!!! lol, WONDEFUL VIDEO!!!!!

Well done!!... This is exactly what I learned to do....Except when we bought this land, I had no soil, at all... it was DG ... hard packed ... you could break a hoe or shovel on it ..... So I created raised beds!! ... I use a lot of straw ... let it rot over Winter and plant it with veggie plants in Spring!!

Truly believe I am trying the no tilt system , About what you are doing but ground level means no tilt, but I don't like raise beds

Very interesting 😊😊😊

You’re the best 🌞

Beautiful ! can't wait to see your crop hehehe ♥

You are best Nicole😃love you

I m big fan of you..all video fabulous...Various types learn this video..Love you..mam..I m indian.

Love her videos and more

Awesome! Just one more suggestion; you should add worm towers.

Well you are the first channel that I have paid for membership even though it's not much but this means a lot to me. Can't wait for your topical planting series. (if that's possible)

Thank you so much for your video! Extremely helpful and entertaining to watch :-) so, we have a very clear heavy soil. Are you telling me that if I just spread a layer of cardboard and then put only five or 6 inches of compost on top, my plants will thrive? Once they start to break through to the tough clay soil beneath, won’t they have a hard time finding nutrients? Thanks so much!

We have nut sedge grass here that will easily come up through a freshly black topped driveway within a few weeks.

I would really love to do this method this year I have a lot of wood chips down and a couple raised beds but I would like to try my berry patch as a no dig method however the yard I will be planting and has been treated with chemicals last year what are your thoughts on starting a no dig bed this close to trying to repair the soil?

I have more access to red oak leaves, and I might try them vs. cardboard. Is there any down side to using matted leaves? I've been doing the hugelkultur beds, but OMG by hand that's lots of work, so smothering and topping with compost looks much better.

That lady with the sun hat had no idea, it's a good thing you were there to help her out. 😉😂

Nichole is so good at Presenting this channel with an added bonus but she is gorgeous

I've been considering raised beds for a long time. For years slugs have taken over our garden and they destroy everything. This method might be easier though. I hope you and your family are staying safe.

Would you recommend grinding up expired multivitamin/multimineral supplement into the soil?

When someone clicks on the like button without even watching the video 😉

I wish I have a big backyard too!

Like you Nicole..I often have meetings with myself... though in most case we reach a unanimous agreement... A couple of weeks ago I was on the way to have a meeting with myself... had to cancel it. I was running late.

Can the cardboard replace with newspaper?

My grass is tough, so I turn it over when I start and cover it with cardboard, then I put bricks on top of the cardboard to hold it in place. For the next month I turn the soil over once a week.

0:23 haahha... 😂🤣👍 *I like that **_dual self chat_** ..LOL ... that was entertainingly fun* True or False ?? 8:26 My gardening buddy tells me that when there are WEEDS in your garden...it is a sign that your soil is depleted of certain ingredients...these weeds service the soil...like bandages, attempting to replace the lost nutrients, minerals from the sunlight, , and eventually they become compost materials....After the composting, the microbes, and earth critters, return to the soil...

Love your way of presentation 🍏🍐🍋🍊🍒🍓🍅🌶🌰🍑

Wah?! Who gave the thumbs down? The audacity!!! :) BTW, Love this new series, it's so awesome and educational!

Are you going to plant green manure for the off season? Great to cover the soil with beneficial plants. Better than weeds I suppose

Great 👍

Shout out to Charles Dowding with his no-dig method. Lots of information there.

Great information! How do I get rid of cucumber beetles?
