How to grow great onions from seed
Market gardener Dan demonstrates mid-March onion seeding in a 72-cell tray, intended for transplanting within 7-8 weeks.
Good light is necessary during the germination and initial growth phase, so if seeding indoors, grow-lights are recommended as well as a heat pad.
If you prefer to avoid transplanting and wish to direct seed, you could do so from mid-April to early May. The main drawback will be a slightly smaller onion. We're in the Pacific Northwest, so you'll need to adjust timing to your local climate.
For more information on the pros and cons of transplanting versus direct seeding onions, refer to Dan's blog post from April 2022 at localharvestgardening.com/dir...
That article also includes tips on onion spacing, watering, harvesting, and drying.

Converting to a no-till garden system using cover crops.
Переглядів 3,5 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I answer the justifiable criticism that our deep-mulch, heavy input, no-till farming system is unfeasible for most farms around the world. Very few farms have access to huge amounts of organic matter. And even if they did, it's often cost prohibitive. Here I advocate for a cover cropping approach instead as a way to build soil fertility and eliminate weeds. This approach has been ...

Combat, grasshoppers/ pests,no till ,
Think you killed it
Hey, im also from chilliwack, is it worth getting the soil tested?
Is this work with soil with lots of rocks. Your soil looks beautiful. Do you have no till beginners guide. Thanks.
Hmm,canibalizing other sites for organic matter in order to get a rich soil in smaller lot..
Late to this discussion..... Have to second what the previous poster said: a good cover crop would expedite the process.
I think your farm would benefit from a diverse cover crop

Respectfully, this video provided no information helpful to understanding the reason or logic for/or why/or how to prune a plum tree. This is not an instructional video in any way. Didn't serve its purpose.
When you say "store them in the ground" I assume you mean "don't pull them up until the next year". Is that correct please? What PH is required please? Is it zone 7 in Chilliwack or 8b?
Thanks for posting this. I didn't realize I could direct sow bulb onions so late. Appreciate you sharing the varieties that work well.
Which brand trays last longest? Best value?
If you actually believe anything this guy is selling, then go in your backyard, which hasn't been tilled, and dig a hole with your shovel.
Does no-till, yearly composting add essential minerals to depleted fields?
it looks like you have ben adding a lot of mulch. this will make the soil healthy .Biomass is the way to go.
Money is a weed that nature has no concept of.
You're kidding.....farmers are massively skewed towards men. Men do the majority of the work
Thank You for sharing such detailed information... people like me who want to start their self sustaining way of life.. need this type of knowledge the most...so from the bottom of my heart .. Thank You and Congratulations for the great job
Are
I can't see if you have (enough) biochar in your tomatoes soil, if not I strongly suggest adding 40% biochar (apply 2ft deep) to any clay soil - it will grow better/more tomatoes than your best compost, and unlike your compost the biochar will be there forever, so no more work/money spent. I recall watching a video like a month ago where a local farmer was growing tomatoes in soil with lots of biochar which was his secret advantage over other farmers. Same from my own experience.
I use a mobility scooter because of MS. Our garden has 3 year old 22" high raised beds, so perfect height for me. We have an inground garden worm tower every 2 m -- all are full of thriving compost worms. We use no till, organic practices. My issue is the neighbour's cedar hedge has sent roots into our raised bed. Do we insert a bottom barrier? If so, what? Do we rebuild our raised beds elsewhere (not ideal, but possible). Plants are thriving despite the cedar roots, but I think it's only a matter of time before the soil is root bound. ~ Sandra
I don't think a bottom would help prevent roots from the cedar and its always a good idea for raised beds to be connected to native ground. I actually don't think the cedar roots will be a problem. Just keep doing the no dig and your garden plants should be able to coexist.
No till methods can apply in all types of crops
Even that tilled compacted soil has so much potential... Men, I live in a place where you can't even put a shovel that deep... We use pickaxes to dig here, and after 50cm is all stones and clay.
🍃😎👑🍃yes .. excellent explanation no till rules .. keeps myriad of micro systems in place 🙏♥️🕊🍃 makes even Florida sand into fertile life filled soil … now if the relentless Florida chem trails ✈️💨💨💨stopped dimming the Sun 😿🙏🙏🙏🐝🍃🌞
I have an area in my backyard that was covered in 6 inches of decorative stone for 20 years. The soil was hard as concrete, couldn't even get a shovel an inch in. Started a small no dig bed there and within a year I can dig down a foot with my bare hands.
What did you do? Please!
How does this work with invasive wire grass
Boring Camera man🤣🤣
My Mom has zero interest in gardening. My dad spends all day in his garden. Me too.
Women are responsible for feeding the world? I'll go tell the 94% of farmers who are male - like you.
Your thumbnail looked like you grew a Dragon Egg, hehe
🤗🤗
I appreciate all farmers but if I had to thank someone or something for feeding the world it would be petroleum.
Good job 👍
Great education
A gardening course! Fancy that
Big suggestion here . Please just let the 'farmer' , the person who is actually practicing No Till explain the process. Your constant interruption very nearly made me 'turn off' . Very , very annoying.
Bwahahaha the beginning statement is hilariously untrue
I have done 3 years on my beds. They are INFESTED with earthworms. The only tools that I used to harvest my potatoes were my fingers. My beds don't have dirt, they have soil.
I like the concept of no-till. however, it seems anyone doing it, is not farming at the scale that we would need in order to maintain our current production of corn, soybean, wheat. Am I seeing this clearly?
No-till doesn't mean less production per acre. But it does mean more farmers per acre.
Ok So how do I raise Oat Hay and kill the Wild Radish without spray?
I totally disagree with your opening statement about women, but let's stick to gardening
We can barely dig in where old pastures have been grazed for years. Where we till we can dig freely.
Follow the principles of no-till and the examples of many farmers practicing regenerative ag and you'll turn the hardest pastures into soft, rich soil.
Why his green houses behind you
Beautiful! Gorgeous! How do you start seeds with so many twigs and debris on the surface?
It's not as impossible as it seems. Move twigs aside with a rake and seed.
What was that land before it was no-till? That’s pretty important
Grass grown for dairy cows.
Thumps up. Very nice
Love the Velo shirt Andrew!
