    If you dump the residue of your cover crop into your walkways, won't weeds grow into it, defeating the purpose of the wood chips? You'd probably be better tilling it in or chopping and dropping it on top of the actual bed so it can feed the soil? But if you are worried about the seeds, just solarize the bed then plant on top of it, or lay a thick layer of compost and/or other mulch before planting?

Close to what I was thinking, except no tilling or chop-and-dropping, instead you are leaving the cover crop in place and knocking it down over the soil to smother weeds before tarping and then planting on top with compost. I misheard you at some point and thought you had said you were going to chop and drop the cover crop on top of your woodchips.

I had no clue what I was even asking for. But fast forward several years and I’m on the NRCS Subcommittee to the board of directors. You don’t need to do any research or even know what you’re asking for. There’s people sitting in those offices waiting for someone like you to walk through the door. Best of luck 👊

    For years I also had the problem with growing Sellerie from seeds. But now I have a simply method, and it worked much better than hoped: Take some deeper trays, and fill them till 1 inch from the top. I use old washed meet trays from grocery for it. Must have holes in the bottom to drain water. Sprinkle the Sellerie seeds on top of the soil. press them softly on the soil. Water it very good, but with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the water. That is needed so that no mold will grow. Now cover that in a few layers of transparent kitchen plastic, so that air and moist stay inside but also light gets in. Find a place with much light and temperature between 64°F and 68°F. Sellerie needs cooler temps to germinate. Once enough germinated (10 to 14 days) just remove the plastic and keep it moist. You do not even need to separate them, they can grow pretty big in the tray. Just water them heavy before planting. They are tough guys, no problem with carefully ripping the root apart. I only had a few with sunburn, because I stupidly had chosen the hottest day of the year to transplant them. :D

Fair warning the warm season soil builder will get extremely tall. So you will probably need to terminate probably around waist high or sooner. But what it does to the soil is amazingly awesome the very first year. I’m doing several acres, so I let mine go so the sunn hemp can keep pumping nitrogen in the soil, break compaction and the millets feed the wildlife. It’s mid November in Maryland and the sunn hemp and sorghum sudan grass is 12’ tall and still green. I will disc it down when frost kills it and follow behind it with winter rye. Anywho, keep pumping out those videos brother. And happy holidays to you if we don’t chat before. 🤜 Here’s to a crispy live 2025. 🥂

      @ thanks man! I was thinking, I’d probably be better off to plant the warm season mix in fall in my climate. Then it might actually winter kill. Yeah those big crops I generally crimp and then tarp to kill it which works good on my scale. thanks man! I appreciate your encouragement 👊

    Good tour. Yep, winters coming. I have winter rye planted in all the garden beds and collected a lot of shredded leaves. All the lawn and garden equipment is put up for the winter and the snow blower is at the ready. I hate the cold 'n snow, but like the break from outdoor chores (double edged sword I guess). 😊

      Thanks Mike 🙏 I am ready for a break too! I’ve barely taken a day off in 10 years. Definitely gonna try and take a little time off this winter.

      Thank you 🙏 I’ll harvest what’s in there in the next week or two probably. Then I’ll get them prepared for January planting. I find nothing grows well until the hours of daylight start getting longer.

    I'm new to watching your channel enjoyed the information today. Question where can I buy the cover roller at time: 6:57? I need some of these. Thank you!

      Thank you! I happy you’re here 🙏 I bought this one off Amazon for like $200. The handle broke once and I replaced it. But if I could do it again I would probably go to a local pool company and see if they have a heavy duty one. It’s kind of challenging to know the quality when shopping online.

    Hi Mikey, another subscriber in Australia! I watch a lot of gardening videos but what makes you different is that you're not a dilettante but a professional market gardener with a true focus on quality and efficiency. I've learned a lot from your videos and have changed my approach in the garden. The fact that you're also a chef is a bonus - I really enjoy when you cook such as with your tomato sauce! Keep up the great work!

    I just built my first small greenhouse for raised beds (8x8) with a 1' walkway down the middle. I've already topped my garden with leaves for the year and the dirt is looking pretty good underneath. I'm watching this video just hours after wrapping my greenhouse in plastic and it's exactly what I needed. I was inspired, but I am even more so now. Thank you!
