Thanks for the informative content! I had to pause, go get some basic knowledge, and come back to finish the video another time. This is kinda overload for a beginner like me. Awesome delivery as always, and series is a fantastic idea.
56 pages into the book and loving it. I'm keeping a PKM notes vault on no-till and it's filling up fast with material from your book and videos. Good stuff and thanks for the knowledge!
"Who done it... he done it!" : )))))) Stumbled here, and so did all 4 and out of sequence. So just to confirm - the sequence makes no difference. Nice short series. And the 'disturbance' issue... ... part 3... ... early days gardening 50 years ago was a strain against the grandparents 'rule' of clean soil (i.e. bare between plants and between crops, using the frost, etc.) and the route was a version of Alan Chadwick's deep bed and double dig once. Which on the London heavy clay soil did wonders, whilst also allowing soil working/planting to be more independent of the recent weather - i.e. too wet to walk on, as the deep beds gave paths with permanent grass cover, so no walking on beds. This in a non-commercial setting gave a lot of flexibility, varied crop opportunities and mostly less back breaking work. Then cover crops and intercropping helped too. Nice to see the evolution continuing with a bit more science behind it with a vastly increased understanding of the below soil level action works.
@@terrystevens8338there’s a huge difference in taking care of our planet, and using that as an excuse to strip people’s freedoms and push sinister agendas. Left vs right is not the problem. They’re all the same. This is far bigger and goes way deeper
I just finished the first chapter of your book and am learning so much. Today at the farmers market one of our customers thanks me for growing all the vegetables and I found my self saying…”Well actually I only facilitated the growing, the plants did the rest” lol
Jesse, your content keeps getting better and better. I watch/read/breath as much content in the notill, soil health, regen ag space and you have a knack for keeping the viewer and listener engaged. Great work, great content. Look forward to receiving my copy of your book.
What up Jesse! Great video with spot on info! It was the way we were intended to do things. Great looking farm ! I'm getting back in the game soon your videos are quite exspiri

Thank you 🙏 very much for your botanic class, very interesting! Love 💗 your humor of explaining people that there’s carbohydrates in those plants we consume every day. Wonderful and complicated are things we see as simple. How wonderful is God , who left everything we need right here in this world, let’s all be grateful for!
You’re right. Soccer team distance runners “carb up” before competition. I’m losing weight by limiting carbs because they turn into sugars and I neither play soccer or run marathons which is why they store all that energy.
I have an allotment in England too and Jesse's videos are really informative and so helpful to understand the science behind no dig/till. My plot is fully no dig now and I'm trying to encourage others to try it. Thank you Jesse.
NOTES FROM A SOIL EXPERT: I hour barren is deadly to topsoil & soil life that might have made their homes there for a million years. Good Presentaion #jessie No tiller mainly since 1966.
On our operation we sometimes have empty bed space. Even when there is empty bed space we try to keep that soil healthy by keeping it covered and giving it something to eat.
I like how you slipped in a quick working example of land stewardship (transplanting seedlings), so that phrase suddenly relatable and much simplified. I’ve heard several people such as Dr Elaine Ingham and Charles Dowding, among others here RU-vid talking about sequestration, exudates, mycelia, micro-organisms, tilth, no till, soil degradation and so on. So, all of it adds to a body of knowledge I’m accumulating. Your visual presentation through beautiful photography and metaphors is fun and yet doesn’t dumb down the information. Thank you for respecting your subject matter as well as your viewers.
Excellent video. Question we recently bought compost. In the past the compost was hot. Thought we'd pile it, add some inoculants, then tarp and leave it over winter to "mature". Should we spread it out now or leave it for a few months? We're newish to gardening and especially the No till approach.
Love the content man. Been watching a lot. I’m just a small raised bed dude in Phoenix. I struggle with all of this, mainly because it was 118 here this week, and my entire bed has gone to basically complete carnage, even with shade cloth, lots of watering, etc. What are we to do in the summer? I can’t imagine planing something and having it grow right now.
you've been touching on the technique of sowing carrots into mulched (flail mowed) buckwheat or other cover crops. would be nice to share that in it's own video since it sounds intriguing for getting better germination in the summer. but I also guess that there are some nuances to actually make it work?
Agreed that it would make a good video. I actually made a video a couple years back about carrot germination in the summer, but I can maybe do another one at some point. Summers are tough because you have to listen to the weather. If it's too hot/dry, a tarp with the white side up is just about the only way to get good germination. I always start about three weeks early too because if germination doesn't go well (and this year there were a few beds that were mediocre, though I suspect the seed wasn't great because it was all one variety) we have time to resow.
Margaret Roach germinates carrots in shade of a 2x4 on the planted row. I've never succeeded with carrot germ. Would love details on planting them after cover crop. Love your content. Going to splurge on your book. Thank you!
We tried carrots last year and failed. This year they all sprouted on their own, after not planting any..... I guess they just wanted us to leave em alone.... Lol
What happens to soil biology in areas with seasonal dry periods and no access to irrigation? Or, if you are growing dry seed crops and need to cut off irrigation? Do most things go dormant? Some die? I’m curious if anyone has any direct observations of this circumstance.
Went a pasta party last night! It was all about trying the newly invented Cascatelli shape. Holds an amazing amount of sauce per noodle. Lol I need a video or series on seed starting and seedling care (cause you're not busy I can tell). Mine get leggy, sunburned, or never germinate. Seems straight forward and looks so easy for you. Would just love a detailed look through your process. Pasta parties...you definitely should get to one!
Yess on the pasta party idea Called it carboloading in cross country and track we would indeed indulge heavy in the carby foods thanks for the content!
Just to be clear I wasn't drawing Wutang symbols in class....I was counting flowers on the wall. And you're late with the don't look into the sun warning, a certain self described stable genius already did just that. Okay seriously, great video again. I'm going to try showing this to an older friend that I can not explain this to for the life of me. As I was explaining the symbiotic relationships of bacteria and fungi with the plant roots he blurts out "well man, they gotta make a spray that'll get rid of that stuff" and we made that loop about three times and I gave up. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did getting across that not everything needs to die by the hands of pesticides....
Great video, super informative! Would you have some insight about compost that doesn't have any germination despite multiple seedings? I'm thinking it needs more curing..? Thank you!!
Hello, just found this. You leave the roots, do you plant next to or over what you cut? Also , Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with. Seriously , I appreciate the information and would like an answer to my question. 😎
@@notillgrowers Sir I am subscribed, and thankful. Growing my own for two years now and always learning. I tell who can listen , it’s all about the soil. 😎
That was really helpful for me, thank you! I also appreciate your acknowledgement of Native land stewards, biodiversity in animals (including ourselves), and your sense of humor.
Complicated, but interesting. I think I'm going to have to watch this one a couple of times. This is the first time I heard about using a cover crop with your market crop at the same time. I thought cover crops were for when the market crop was done.
I really like the way you explain the carbon sequestration in this video we don't need some man-made emulsification to capture carbon we just need more plants. Hank Hill said it best when he said you're not offsetting anyting these trees were already here
We could start with the really low hanging fruit and stop spraying to kill invasive plants, phase out GMOs and agricultural subsidies, biofuels and other wastes of resources that burn carbon and harm ecosystems at the same time. Start incentivizing living small and wisely, appropriate technology and organic farmers especially those that sell to local people.
Does it always have to be veggies or can you plant, trees, flowers bushes or flowers and other type of plants around the garden that will help earth correct?
Some people included the integration of animals another preiciple of good soil health. Planting flowers and setting birds house are a few ways, but are there other ways? Good book and follow-up series.
@@ivanbustelo79 yes, he does talk about chickens, goats and sheep, but I live in a residential area. I do have a few dogs that could dig and poop in the garden, but I understand using dogs is not a good idea.
Do living perenials that have no above-ground presence during the winter contribute to this? I have some rhubarb in my garden. Would it be an idea to have some sort of cover crop during the winter season?
Love your vids mate, thank you! Q: so are you saying that the process of "resting beds between crops, so that nutrients aren't depleted" is kind of the wrong way to think about it. Coz in your understanding, soil is actually being restored by crops...? Or am I misunderstanding something?
We gotta figure out a way to combine harvesters with succession seeders on large farms. That would save energy costs for the farmers, time, carbon, compaction, and machinery capital costs.
Hi Jesse, I received your book this past week and I’m devouring it. Your categories for the types compost and how to use them was so helpful! Thank you for pulling together so many of the soil maintenance concepts in one place. I really enjoyed the illustrations you wife did too!
I have watched a lot of your videos and noticed the editing and camera work has been great this year but this episode was astoundingly pleasant to watch and listen to. Thank you as always... I have a question about how to maintain soil health with plants that disrupt soil a lot or require a lot of exposed soil to get started. Perhaps I am missing some knowledge but potatoes are disruptive on the soil. I tried hay/Ruth Stout but there is a lot of down time of just hay waiting for the green to pop through. Any suggestions?
There is really no avoiding that disturbance, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Not all distrubance is bad. I talk about this in a later video, but as for potato suggestions, I might recommend starting with bare soil or a light compost mulch and then mulching with a lighter-colored mulch for the long season once they have popped through.
Keeping the soil constantly in production of plants is certainly the way nature does it, too, but what about nutrient depletion when we take all those crops away? The Parisian gardeners who had such an intensive system in the 19th century put in up to 100 tons of compost/manure per acre per year since they had access to horse manure in a horse powered society. Even though I work our little farm with draft horses I do not have access to so much.
Good questions. So cover crops and compost where possible with compost teas and foliar sprays. That's our general approach. Definitely hard to get that much good compost these days!
All things are consumed by all things, in the end. Thus consuming anything edible is permissible in nature. We consume plants and animals and when we die, plants and animals consume us. The cycle of life is complete.
I really enjoy your your Channel but I have to ask you, you talk so fast and it's a little hard for an old man like me to follow unless I save this and watch it later again and again. I have a silly question, do you use a teleprompter or cards to let you know what to say or are you just that intense?
Watching this again after two years and the thought occurred to me I should be "that guy" and point out that only most, but not all life depends on photosynthesis. There is also... "chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis."

Thank you Jesse, you explain everything in such a brilliant and humorous way 😀. It is always a delight to watch your videos 😊. I live in Sweden and my birthday is in late october. My only wish is to get your book!
I live in Finland and I have had my book for 2 weeks now. Ordered it from online bookstore (UK) because shipping was too expensive from US. Became a patreon to support tough.
