    I totally agree with you Danny. I pick up bags of leaves in the town near me , probably 100 bags a year. I put them in my chicken house about 2 feet deep then put it in a compost pile the following year. The price of shavings got to be to expensive and the leaves are free and much much more higher in minerals and organic matter . If you would run for president of the UNITED states l would vote for you. Thank you.

    Danny, I grew celebrity tomatoes for the first time this year. I saw Jess from Roots & Refuge put grass clippings around the bottom of her tomato plants so that when you watered the dirt would not Splash up on the lower leaves. Lord have mercy I have 21 tomatoes on one plant and still blooming. I will definitely be growing celebrity tomatoes from now on

    There is much truth to this. My property is half covered with Oak trees that lose their leaves during a 2 week period in the spring after I put my spring garden in. I rake up as much as I can a stack it deep (about 6”-12”)to cover my entire garden. I don’t fertilize or weed EVER and get large quantities of healthy vegetables. The only thing that I contend with is snails. I pick them off each morning and drop them in a bucket of soapy water to kill them. Works for me here in Texas! Edit- This also greatly reduces my need to water and brings a TON of toads that set up camp and keep the bugs under control.

      @moma bare This year we were inundated with rain so as of now I have watered my garden 5 times total. I run soaker hoses through the garden before I put the leaves down so this is my main method of watering. I occasionally give an extra sprinkle from the hose if it’s a really hot day. In a normal year I typically give them a good and deep watering about every 1.5 weeks and occasionally I can go 2 weeks depending on the temps. The plants are good at letting you know when they need it.

    Nature happens in our barn every day....pesticide free spent hay "enriched" by sheep and goats. We built our garden soil with it. Every year our garden production gets better. Out potting soil is the rotted hay from where the cows feed on roll bales in the pasture during the winter working their "organic" magic. High germination rate and strong seedlings. All started with my daughter's research and insistence on returning to 1800s practices.

    I have been using leaves and grass clippings for years. I would use it for weed control too. All my neighbors at this house we moved to ask my why I use a push mower with a bag when I have the tractors and zero turns. Well, it's because those grass clippings are like gold. IT WORKS! Only one problem, once you start using it, you can never get enough.

    So true. I looked into the untouched woods around my house saw how beautiful these 100 year old trees had the most natural soil below them and started collecting the leaves and grass clippings on my 1 acre home site. I gathered them and started placing them around every fruit tree. In only one year as they decayed I saw mold form worms and little baby worms would cover the ground buy the thousands when I moved the leaves. When I free range my chickens they go and scratch eat worms and mix it for me and I get eggs from them. Then my satsumas tree has given me more fruit than ever. My chickens have cover from the hawks even eagles that nest near my place. Nature is good and God is so good to open my eyes to his creation!

    Coming from a farming family and farmer neighbors and a son who sells chemicals, I can tell you that some of the same chemicals are sprayed on non organic AND organic food. All they do is get it approved for their crops. It is best to grow your own and use your own manure like they used to. My son gardens organic without sprays even though that's his job to sell chems. I got him to switch over to DE instead of sevin for tomatoes and such a long time ago.

    I remember on the "Plant Abundance" yt channel, he showed in a video how he "chops and drops" hollyhock plants, and lays them down in the garden areas of his "Food Forest" backyard. And he explained that hollyhock is loaded with good minerals and nutrients, because it has a deep taproot that pulls up these minerals, etc. from deep in the ground. Another video I watched from a different yt channel, was showing a garden where this man planted a comfrey plant amongst the vegetable garden... for the same reason, to pull up vital nutrients and minerals to the other plants, so they'll have more nutrition. He didn't "chop and drop" the comfrey. Just planted it near vegetables and fruits/vines.

    I love this, Danny. For about 19 years, I've been using nothing but my own clean compost in my small suburban garden on about 4mx10m. I've had bumper crops. Now I am in a Retirement Estate, with food planting space of about 10mx3m if I calculate the pieces together. Was cutting all the grass of surrounding vacant plots by hand, and working it into my little garden, only to learn later that maintenance sprays the vacant stands with poison! I am still determined to grow my vegetables organically. Keep up the good work!

      Ferments either sugar or salt based of different materials from grain to grass and also bio char with added soil from a location in the woods helps give a super boost to the soil life.

    I appreciate this topic. I have a few thoughts/experience. Every year, we blow all the leave to the back corner area and let them do there thing. We have done this for 10+ years. That soil is very rich, Digging some of that up, putting it in a container and growing tomatos, it was fantastic. We also had a container growing tomatos with Miracle grow type mix It produced but nothing close to the old decomposed leaves.dirt.
    Now this year. I planted 2 Delicata squash plants maybe 6 weeks ago. I started them from seed, transplanted one in the ground and one is a grow bag. The grow bag has a mixture of compost, leaves, Milorganic and just yard stuff and a can of sardines(in water). That plant took off! It is flowering. The other one in the ground is alive, it is a turtle, it may or may not produce.

    You're spot on, Danny! We, as a society, have been indoctrinated to think that for any good outcome, some "product" must be purchased. Developing a product is only the beginning. The most important part is to develop a NEED for the product in order to sell it. Remember, people didn't know they "needed" cars, until Henry Ford convinced them that they did. Henry Ford said that if he'd asked the people what they needed, they'd have said that they needed "faster horses"!

So, I was walking out in the woods one day and found a big old rotten tree trunk. I also knew someone who had horses, so I made my own ‘dirt’. Little did I know it was completely all organic…
    But, one big mistake. I had a bug infestation and used DDT on it not knowing I just added cancer to my soil (and me…)
    It was’ perfectly safe’ to use DDT back in the early seventies.

    Danny, in my humble opinion, this is one of your best videos. I am willing to beg every leaf available for our garden. Folks that destroy, carry off, or burn them, do not appreciate God's fertilizer. We also do a mixture of cover crop seeds. We plant a mix that contains Daikon radish from WalnutCreekSeed. (No connection, just like what they offer). The moles/voles moved to another area this season when the radish's decomposed. Being north of you, ( mid Tennessee), our cover crop is mowed in early January and tarped. No fertilizer, insecticide or chemicals ever applied. Been using the same weed cloth you use for years and it beats pulling weeds. I roll the cloth up and store it in the garden shed until the following season. My aging back doesn't appreciate pulling weeds and you two are younger than I. Wanda, I love your recipe book and may send you another on sweet potatoes. God Bless you both, and keep posting this type of video.

    🐈Nature is set up to take care of itself. By intelligent design. I had learned companion planting in the 70's. We were forced to grow everything here with what could be put back into the land as we had no money to speak of, so, like you, I learned by accident how lush the gardens were by draining the muddy water from my duck pool, straight down a small stream trench I dug to funnel into the flower & herb, & strawberry beds & the worm farm that sprung up next to the pen...my husband saved a bit of $ to grow a "proper" garden & was trying it the way he learned by stripping the soil & trying to add store bought products. He was envious asking me how is it my iris were vibrant, huge sweet strawberries, 4 ft tall herbal plants & his strawberries struggled with less flavor...he realized some things about letting nature decide, his garden this year is incredible & he is ecstatic..its like a circle, I think.💞🙏

    You are exactly correct. I used a box scraper in my forest to get dirt to fill my raised beds. I was shocked when I tested the soil and seen it had no NPK. I realized, the natural process was for rain to carry nutrients down into the sub levels and rock to release minerals. Looking forward to the rest of these series. Great job!

    Thanks Danny for this video. Will be looking forward to more. This year I put in a small garden and have learned a ton. I actually put so many crops on top of each other and close together and saw how my beans, for instance, created shade for my tomatoes and when they were done producing i let them wither and dry up and used them as mulch. Whenever I mow I catch the clippings and put them in the garden too. Like I said, looking forward to more. Prayers for You and Wanda.

    We bought an electric push lawnmower just for me to use to gather all the grass this summer. I put it into my compost pile so far, but now I will use it around all my plants. I also collected the leaves which the lawnmower mulched really nice and I added it around all my fruit trees. This fall and spring I will try to use only the grass that I have and the fallen leaves plus any compost that I have. I will not use fertilizer and see how my raised beds act towards this style of growing vegetables. I am excited to start and excited that it will be free.
    I thought your video was really eye opening and I think this type of thinking and growing should work really well
    There is another channel called Mark in the Garden. He used really thick grass as his mulch. He hadn't had any rain for a long time and his plants were able to survive and they looked beautiful and produced so much food.
    So I really believe in what you are saying and teaching. I thought this series was so interesting. Thank you for this great information. Stay well.

    Oh Danny- Wonderful video- I am 70yrs of age & yes grew up with a backyard vege garden & chooks (as we call them). We didn't use chemicals then, but yes as time progressed I know for a fact the chemicals were & still to this day are sprayed. Life was simpler many years ago & wish I could wind back time.
    I have listened very carefully to this video & you are so correct " We need to go back & Listen to nature"- I am !!! starting NOW !!!. Thankyou so much for your wisdom. Cheers Denise- Australia

    My neighbors do not spray their yards and I rake their yards for free every fall to pile up the leaves in my back yard. It is THE best thing for my backyard garden. I cannot get enough of them. They fertilize my soil and they keep down the weeds.

    I started my no till garden last year. Using paper and mulch and making my own compost. I've noticed way less bad bugs this year and MANY more ladybugs. The wasps, dragonflies, armored beetles, and ladybugs have helped so much that its noticeable.

    Our land was never inhabited before us, we are so blessed with soil. It really blows my mind how black and rich under the hammock, and other places as well because year after year, leaves dropped, and no one was here to mess it up.

    We can't give all the credit for the skyrocket in cancer (and other ailments that barely existed back in the day) on farm chemicals.. looking at the stats and locations - taking into account seasonal wind currents.. the bomb testing in the 50s with resulting radiation fallout has to take some of the credit.
    Your sound was so good this morning, I thought there was a loose chicken outside for a moment.

    I rake oak leaves and pine needles from our oak hammock to use for mulch in my gardens for that exact reason.

    This is awesome. I started more of this Fall of 2018 without even thinking about why. Just sections of the garden area at a time, of course, because it's a pretty big area, especially adding in the raised beds (that's where I started). In that first 12x12 ground plot and the raised beds that were added to then, I noticed a big difference in production, growth and health of the plants. It'll take a good minute to get the whole area done but I'll keep at it, especially now. No real reason I started doing it. Well, maybe not quite accurate...I used grass clippings to help keep weeds back. The leaves just made sense. There's also a lot of peat in our woods, which kinda got me more consciously thinking about it. It's really simple when you break it down. Nature will teach us almost everything we need. We just need to watch and "listen". Random babbling, but something I noticed this year that I've not seen here in the years I've been here...red clover is now popping up in areas around the farm. Some interesting things are happening, all for the good, and it's from less synthetic inputs. Thanks, Danny. Looking forward to more of this.
