  • @davidmccauley4781
    @davidmccauley4781 11 років тому

    yes would love to see an update. I have been using a similar method on my suburban garden by throwing all my tree and bush trimmings on top of my garden, soil is amazing - black, loose, full of worms and crickets. And it keeps all that volume out of the landfill. There is a link to a landmark Laval University study on ramial wood chips if you google for: Laval ramial wood chips

  • @markhess

    I'm trying something different this year too. I'm mulching heavily (4 inches or more) for weed protection and moisture conservation to see if I can manage without watering - Mark

  • @Condor1970
    @Condor1970 11 років тому

    This year I'm trying a different method of watering. Previously I've had trouble watering my Squash, because the dry soil in a small hill causes the water to just run off, and doesn't soak in. So, this year I'm trying what I call the "Volcano Method". Basically, istead of flattening the top of the hill, I make it concave like a volcano to pour water into the center, with my seeds sowed around the rim. It seems to soak the hill better when manually watering my plants.

  • @markhess
    @markhess 11 років тому

    For the mulch I use on the garden, I have local tree trimmers deliver it to the farm for free (in large quantities). It is much easier than chipping the brush pile. However, I make good use of the ash from the brush pile (good source of potassium) and spread it on my veggies, especially root crops like potatoes. In one of my videos (don't remember which one), I do show me moving the chicken house with the tractor

  • @the1969info
    @the1969info 11 років тому

    I wish I had your brush piles. I have seen the back to eden film, that guy puts 4 inches of wood chips on his orchard and gardens and hardly ever has to water his plants. I found out from youtube videos you can put a 1 1/2 inch hole in the deck of your lawnmower and put in tree branches. My mulching mower cuts right thru them and feeds them into the bagger. I just don't have enough branches like what you have. I enjoy your videos would like to see your portable chick coop when its done.

    If it ever stops raining here in Georgia, I'll give you an update! :)

  • @markhess
    @markhess 12 років тому

    Sweet potatoes like long hot summers. However, I know farmers in Maine (much colder than Denmark) that grow them. Denmark is only a zone or 2 colder than Georgia. If it is not quite warm enough, grow them under clear plastic tunnels (that is what they do in Maine)

    Nice fall garden! Many of my crops are about gone here in west Tennessee. We get considerably colder than you, earlier. Still got lots of greens, turnips, and "salad stuff" though. Love the flour mill! Where do you buy your wheat?

  • @markhess
    @markhess 13 років тому

    @Helioforge I totally agree! Some many of the vegetables are actually sweeter after a freeze! - Mark

  • @markhess
    @markhess 13 років тому

    @webcajun Thanks Donald! The whole flour things is very interesting. In the 1920s when we started commercially milling flour, we noticed that if we removed the germ and bran, the flour would not spoil. However, everyone started getting sick so in the 1940s we added back "some" of the nutrients to get what we call enriched flour today. However, fresh milled flour is SO much heather for you. One of the higher sources of Vitamin E which we don't get a lot from other foods. - Mark

    @iowanne We got them this spring from Tractor Supply Co.; they were probably several days old when we got them. Then, various people gave us even more. What started out to be only 10 chickens has blossomed into 30! The older ones have just started laying! - Mark
