Hi there I've meant to tell you this I work as a tradie and travel around Canterbury New Zealand and get to see alot of our landscape on one occasion I was taken aback with the lush grass growth and vivid green colour of a site I was working on after talking to the owner of the 12 acre property and complementing him on his property he divulged that he was doing regenerative agriculture and mentioned you 💯

That's cool. Sometimes, all a farmer has to do is spray compost tea on old pastures, and they flourish dramatically.

I always enjoy how beautifully everything is put together, how the cycles are round at the company. To be able to live and work like this must be very satisfying, and that you can also share this with so many more people. If we all become farmers in this way in the Netherlands, our government will no longer have any complaints about nitrogen problems.

Currently I'm an American (w/ lots of farming experience) living in South Korea (for the last 1.5 years) and have not heard of this no-dig network you speak of. I know this is a long shot and that you're very busy but if you do come across this message I'm curious to know what the network is called in hopes of connecting with them. Thanks so much in advance!!!

I strive to have a garden 1/10 as good as yours, next year I might just have to do the no-dig/no-till method. Last few years has been plowed and tilled and the weeds are atrocious! Even with mulch they come right through. What is the material that you used for your wind break fences?

Richard, hi from Michigan, USA. I'm enjoying your book and your videos. One question I'm wrestling with is regarding tarps. You've said before that you use a non-woven geotextile fabric to cover the beds at times. As far as I know those made of polypropylene, which I think is better for the environment than polyethylene, but even so, do you have any concerns about chemicals and/or microplastics contaminating the soil and/or the crops? Thank you!

Looks good but how much of your compost is from peat that you used to bed the chickens... You mentioned that in a previous video. Do you still do that? That has a big carbon footprint. Your planning seems very good but most people don't have access to so much compost for the beds or wood chips for paths... Do you have advise for people who don't have access to these things? Thx
@ashleycampbell8767 Жыл бұрын
If there are any saw mills near you check there for bulk wood chips. Large amounts of compost can be made from unsprayed hay (search for old hay especially you may get it free) and some kind of green. Food waste from restaurants, schools, food pantries etc. can supply the green portion in bulk for free. These places are often paying for disposal so they can benefit from a relationship with a farmer.

You can cover pathways with any carbonaceous material. I have been using aged straw that was lying around (There was no longer any viable seed in it) You’ll need to apply it quite generously though. You could also use thick layers of leaves, but these might get mushy/muddy depending on your rain levels.

You could look into making biochar to use as a layer between the compost and the sand. Also, you could lay down cardboard under the beds themselves, although this would make a temporary mechanical barrier between your compost and the soil underneath.
