Today we are joined once again by Jackson Rolett of Apostles Garden and co-founder f No-Till Growers to talk about the tools he uses on his farm in southern kentucky and give the MOST thorough breakdown!
He discusses what tools to use on a small scale, what infrastructure to use, what irrigation to use for the market garden, and more!

So I’m doing a practicum for a hort master’s degree, and 3 of my projects are on hand tools, irrigation systems, and growing under cover. I apply my learnings at a local community garden in Kansas (yay tornadoes, I’m so sorry) that supplies produce for our city’s warming shelter. This video was insanely useful, thank you soooo much! I appreciate the time you invest in us! Also, tell your kitty I said “psst psst psst psst.” Thanks again!

Awesome video- here’s a few more gear recs because he’s right, it often gets over looked and it can be such a difference maker!: For leather boots I love Redbacks. I have a pair of short xtratuf that look just like the speaker’s- can’t remember the name of his brand but the xtratufs are a slam dunk on my end. My philosophy on farm work is that I just expect to be wet all the time or at any given time, and I’ve come to embrace it rather than repel by wearing lightweight, quick drying clothing: - your preferred hiking pants (khul are good and long lasting but pricey. Pranas that go on sale are nice but lack the side, thigh pocket I depend on so much) Patagonia tropic long sleeve hoodie- it’s wearable shade I keep my phone on me in a water proof hip bag with a **velcro flip top**- fussing with a zipper will fail in under a season, and takes two hands to open which will make you crazy. My “buy it once” is from a company called Fabric Horse in Philadelphia

I'm standardizing all of my tarps to 50 by 50 because I never have to worry about do I have the long side or the short side? Then javing to move it again. Also thinking about growing older, I'm not always going to want to be pulling around 150 ft of tarp. It's always just a perfect square. 50x50 One less step to worry about.

I have small 5x25 beds, 7 of them and 6 smaller 5x16 beds. Its all as expensive as you want to go. If i had a larger space i would use a seeder and a bed rake.

@notillgrowers 10 дней назад

Water management is all about initial preparation and site assessment. I usually suggest people in wet areas plan for wet seasons (build raised beds and make sure the water has somewhere to go when in excess like potentially drainage tiles) because it's (generally) easier to add water than take it away. Building your soil organic matter will also help tremendously.
