Love the many uses of vetch, including culinary. Very important to be open to all the benefits Nature offers. I will be adding to my salad! Great video.

@jenniferspring8741 Год назад

How did farmers in older time start cycling the long cover crops? Graze and then put manure on field?

@notflexing6609 Год назад

"Green manure salad" Definitely don't call it that when its served.

@justinarnold7725 Год назад

Green Manure Salad doesn't sound that good I hope you call it something else in your Resteraunt

You got my attention with cover crops and sealed me as a subscriber with why you don't use a "tractor" and showed the flail mower underneath and explained why it worked so well! Thanks!

@Cha0sHof Год назад

Thanks for your videos your Book and Vieos are our guidelines for our owne little bussiness, as we are switching into this area you helpd us alot !! and where allready able to harvest more then 300 kg this year.

@robertling9872 Год назад

Thanks JM for sharing your knowledge and beautiful video's.

Its not the presence of the nodes that tell you if your fixing nitrogen or not. You must split open the node with your finger nail and verify that it is red inside the node. If it is red then you have the bacteria present and they are actively fixing nitrogen. If it is white then no nitrogen is currently being fixed. Nodes tend to graduate in color over their cycle of the plants life and should end up red. If not then the right association of bacteria that fix the nitrogen for that plant is not present. Just fyi. Love that your showing how to use cover crops. Thank you.

@happyhillsfarm9598 Год назад

Loving all that you're doing! Keep it up JM and crew!

@andrewfinnegan797 8 месяцев назад

Mix of Sunflowers and vetch and oats and buck wheat and clover as a mix works so well awsome video thanks

@danphillips4590 Год назад

Cover crops, no till great, I do same. Now, how to get rid of weeds, like nut sedge, other than dig out the nuts one by one?? Thx

@tachyonimpulse 9 месяцев назад

Really loved your video! I'm curious what legumes you are using?

@MarketMessage Год назад

Can I use a rotary mower( what I have for now) until I get to the point ($$) of using the flail? Then shallow roto-till into soil

@BCSAmerica Год назад

Definitely, your rotary mower will chop up the cover crops to speed up decomposition. The flail mower just completely pulverizes the cover crop into smaller bits so they break down much faster. 👍

@billherrick3569 Год назад

Excellent video. I use a heavy duty brush cutter to lay down cover crop on about a 1000 sq ft block and it works well.

@poorboy2012 Год назад

Good day my friend. Your video is very good, Thanks for helping me relax after a tiring day at work.

@LongleyOrganicFarm Год назад

I was explaining this exact process this week to a new grower at my farm. I have always cover cropped after allium crops (20% of my beds per year) as part of a 5 year rotation to stop white mould in the garlic (bad in Tasmania) Perhaps we could benefit more if I aimed for 5% more beds per year as a minimum eg, 4 year for full green manuring cycle of bed blocks

@Green_Shepherd 5 месяцев назад

What is the green machine with yellow wheels in the barn? Just wondering if anyone knows

@chrisshepherd8708 11 месяцев назад

Are you using animals in the termination are cover crops? And if so can you give some insight as to the pros and cons?

@markrodrigue9503 Год назад

So hairy vetch is edible? Hum I would of never I’m gonna have to tr it

@1885dr Год назад

cover crop dalek 7:20

@pierreleroy6826 Год назад

When you cut wetch in pieces,you 're loosing nitrogene

@rocknrolla257 Год назад

Could I mow the vetch , and then put a thick layer of well decomposed horse manure if I don't have time to tarp it? Thank you

@goodboysongs Год назад

This would probably only work for transplants, not direct seeding. In compost, seeds would dry out rapidly in compost because there is so much air between aggregates compared to soil. And mowing wouldn’t necessarily kill the vetch. That requires the power harrow or tiller implements. Without killing the crop first. it would require a very thick layer of compost, I’d say 3-4” or more, so that the mowed crop would not easily penetrate through. Basically you’d be using the compost AS your tarp, providing occultation over the soil. The last thing you’d want is a cover crop growing as weeds in your cash crop, after it has been supercharged with inches of compost.

@wildrangeringreen Год назад

@@goodboysongs to add further, Vetch is very hard to terminate via mowing unless it's in the reproductive stage of growth, otherwise, it comes back readily. That is why I don't use vetch anymore in my cover crop mixes. I use peas, beans, and biennial and annual clovers instead (almost as good (or in the case of some of the biennial sweet covers, just as good), but way easier to manage). I still have volunteer vetch in my fields from the last time I used it and didn't get it killed 100%, and that was 4 years ago. Shallow tillage (1" into the soil) is a better way to terminate vetch if you don't have time to wait until it's flowering (to mow), or time to tarp it.

@gg-gn3re Год назад

thanks.. subtitles say he says "thatch" which isn't even a plant, let alone a legume. was confused clover is one more popularly used all over, but the best one for biomass and nitrogen fixing is sunn hemp

@ggraham1301 Год назад

Which BCS tractor is that?

@TheMarketGardeners Год назад

It's the 749 with an electric start!

@spacemanspiffy6596 Год назад

Hey how much do you think the bcs with bush mower weighs?

@BCSAmerica Год назад

The BCS Model 749 and 30" Flail Mower (shown in this video) weigh about 450 lbs total.

@spacemanspiffy6596 Год назад

So 225lb per tire unless the front attachment rides on the ground? @@BCSAmerica

@BCSAmerica Год назад

@@spacemanspiffy6596 All attachments ride on the ground to be honest. You're not going to be able to mow while holding the Flail Mower off the ground, it just isn't feasible. The flail JM is using in this video is the RollerBlade model. The rear roller on the mower is what determines the height of the cut. The height adjustment crank on the top of the mower adjusts the angle of the dome in relation to the roller.

@BCSAmerica Год назад

@spacemanspiffy6596 The weight of the engine helps to counterbalance the weight of the mower, so lifting it off the ground when turning around is fairly easy, but it would not be easy to mow while holding the mower off the ground.

@honeydew4576 Год назад

Thank you for this great video. This video has encouraged me to subscribe! I've wondered about the pros and cons of no till/vs till. I can understand the theory behind no till, but I have this instinct that it's good to break up the shallow soil before planting. Thanks for explaining this a bit more. Thanks for your channel.

@gg-gn3re Год назад

legume aren't the only nitrogen fixers. there are some other plants that do too
