How to Direct Seed into a No-Till Garden 

Good demo. I mulch with sourdough from a Michelin star restaurant, and wasn’t sure if Jang could cut it.

It slices! It dices! It makes julienne fries! It's the Veg-O-Matic garden version! Ron Popeil would be proud. This was great, Diego.

I bet I could put a nice edge on those discs. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Great tip, and lots of fun you put into the video :)

Extremely helpful thank you!

Spending the extra for a double disk opener was one of the best decisions I made a few years ago after getting Jang. I've found in my area where radish, oat, peas winter kill the disk opener works well in the residue the next spring if it's not to tall. I'm currently working on building a heavier duty no till planter for the bcs so that I can handle heavier residue due to the extra weight and the fact that the opener will be a heavier duty ag style one.

LOL...nice and funny. Thanks for great review.

Jiang Jp1 with disc furrow changes this game. Brilliant!

Excellent hand machine.

G'day Diego, First of all, congratulations on the wonderful body of content that you have created and curated. I know many people find it invaluable. Secondly I was researching animal/human powered no-till drills and this came up in the feed. On the later versions of the Keyline Super Plow's that we've built I've ran Acra-Plant double disc drills. Following Bruce Maynard's recommendation (inventor of 'No-Kill Cropping') the next set I run will be Ryan NT discs. What struck me about these Jang double discs were how the cutting angle was so much further forward than most 'AG' double discs (i.e. approx. 30° forward of the axle). I could see that this created more disturbance than would be the case than if this angle was directly below the axle as it is on the discs we run. I was curious if considered this angle and if anyone had made modifications to these units. Thanks for all and I hope you and your family are doing well mate. Sláinte! Darren

That sandwich! 🤣 Great video overall.

Great Video Gave me a great idea. I’m going to remove that ring on the front of the shoe, grind a knife edge on the front and a knife edge on either side of the shoe up to the crease. If it works I’ll do the other two shoes on my three position seeder.😊

I just bought a 2 row planter with double disk openers for $250. It was probably made about 1940 by International Harvester and has many plates and custom plates available.

that video got a little silly, but I am glad to see that I could potentially use a jang in my no till garden! Now someone needs to make a push seeder that works in 6 inches of heavy mulch

So this gets around the tilter and bed roller type setup and allowing for coarser surfaces? Nice! Edit: Wait, why does Johnny's say it's not intended for no till use? That seems exactly what it's for. Glad you mentioned in the end it does everything the normal one does plus more. That's kind of what I was wondering, why not just use this for all purposes? Cost. You answered it , thanks. You'll be glad to know I've been out there doing the work, I've been nice and thankful :-D

Does it work with the jp5?

Where can I buy double disc?

I need to hand seed into Ruth Stout (hay) beds, any ideas?

Now that's what I call real science. I take it your wife wasn't at home.

If only there were a cutting board under the roots in the field! 😂 I suspect that in the field it won't actually cut through much more than the other shoe, but will just also push them down or aside.

Why did I first think you were going to plant butter??

🌱👀🌱👍👍

How did you know it's Friday?

The cutting board backer is hard unlike soft garden soil. I would be seeding my garden not a cutting board.

Nice but don't think it'll cut through our rocks.

Two side observations: 1. "Organic" butter is suspect as the word "organic" doesn't guarantee a healthy product. You want "pastured" dairy, i.e., from cows that ate ONLY grass. 2. Do you want someone to "cut" your butter with salt when you are paying by weight? No. Salt is very cheap. It's too tempting to increase profit by over adulteration. What is the correct amount? It varies with each person, so no one knows. You can always add salt for your taste, just as you can sweeten to taste, but you can't remove too much salt. Don't buy butter and pay for salt of dubious quality.

Not what I think of when I hear No Till. Minimal till.

Well lets see...your cut a few greens,rolled over a radish,ruined a piece of bread and smushed some butter and didnt show it working in the garden...pretty much a joke like your little toy that quote"plants small seeds in no till garden"unquote
