I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you and please keep em coming

You have inspired me to get daikon radish seeds that I plan to grow some this spring so I can harvest the seeds again but also I plan to plant others in the fall. I also got oilseed radish or driller radish that’s like a daikon just for drilling holes in my clay soil to help break it up

I enjoy how you teach about soil. It all starts there!!

Again a great tutorial Mark. I’ve missed you.

Glad to see you posting! I always look forward to what you share. So much knowledge given to us! Thank you.

I love it here!

Thanks for sharing.

beautiful

I always learn so much and get inspiration!! Happy gardening Mark!!

very informational and inspiring

Fantastic information! Thanks!!

Your soil is so beautiful 👏

I am totally geeking out here with you! That's beautiful! Your soil looks amazing, and the food for the soil is so exciting! Plus you don't have to actively kill the cover crop! In 3 to 4 months that bed is going to be so ready to plant in. I've read that the daikon smells pretty bad when it rots. I have a plant eating lab, and this would drive him crazy. Also, I have close neighbors. Do you think it's that bad of a smell to be a problem where I am? Small garden farmer here. Looking forward to your updates, as always.

I thank you Mark for your ever wonderful lessons!! I've got tons of questions on things I did wrong this year. Totally failed the garden... So bad.

Thank you for your valuable information about cover crop, it helps me a lot with my soil, keep going bro thanks

Hey Mark, thank you for your work in showing the importance of soil biology! I've been thinking about ground cover fabric used to prevent germination of weed seeds, and it's effect on soil biology. Do you use ground fabrics, and if so, have you noticed any difference in the health of the soil after the fabric is removed?

Thank you Mark for the great info, by the way how is your son doing.

Thanks for all your knowledge. I planted daikon in my raised bed and the didn't freeze so now I have a bed of green daikon. The daikon is about one inch in diameter. I live in El Paso texas zone 8a. The nights are in the 39-40-50⁰ and days mid 60-70⁰. Do I wait or till in? Not sure what to do now. Thank you for all your informative videos.

Hi Mark, I am new to your channel and just started to plant fruit trees and shrubs into old vineyard that was removed for most part. It is on a slope so there might be a water(ing) problem. The soil is sandy on the top but has clay when you dig in. I made somme traces to stop the water from draining, plan to do some deep water pipe irrigation, have applied some mulch. Would it be a good idea to grow some cover crops like you did on your peaches video to establish the young trees? Your thoughts on Hugel technique? There are also old fruit trees, cherries, figs, plums on the property doing great. I will make sure to watch your videos where you may cover all this already before asking 1000 questions. Loved your video on how to plant fruit trees! I am eating fruit mostly for a couple of years since it helped to cure some autoimmune disorder with my muscles preventing me to drive the car, and play the guitar(I am artist and a teacher) along with some other problems. So I would like to grow the best fruit trees possible in the future to come. Thanks!

We have been experiencing abnormal high temperatures here in Wisconsin. Great for keeping kale harvest going. Is it the same for everyone?

Good info...hoping to plant these in my garden this fall. Late August early September in zone 7A, correct?

When would you suggest planting Daikon Radish as a cover crop in zone 4? I planted some in 2021 but they were not very big by the time frost killed them off. I also grew winter rye in 2021 in half of my garden, I terminated early in 2022 and I thought it turned out very well. All thanks too you. 2023 summer will be my 3rd year at my new house with new garden, and trying to make it into no till but soil is still pretty hard. I have been covering my soil with all the fall leaves and grass clippings. No weeds its fantastic, just need to get my soil more loose.

I have been searching for a cover crop that I do not have to kill in the spring with chemicals and or does not add to weed growth during vegetable growing season. Any suggestions? Thank you so much for the informative video.

Mark, In the Spring, do you use a weed wacker to cut off the tops of the henbit & purple dead nettle to terminate & leave the roots in the ground or something else?

Hi Mark. Do you ever sow winter rye in early spring as a green manure? If so, when is the earliest you can start it? I’m in zone 6b/7a

Do you know if they would grow that large in compacted clay soil?

How about living cover crop? Why don't you let herbs going?

What month did you plant the DKR? I have looked at DKR in the past, but the price always scared me away. Winter Re is so cheap it is hard not to go it most of the time. In the summer/ early fall I have done a few rotations of Buckwheat because it grows so fast but again, the cost is up there.
