6:52 - Most urban gardens are too shady, one of the biggest problems for urban gardeners
7:19 - Jeff refers to this quote, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." – John Muir, 1911
9:56 - No-till gardening means worm-tilled
16:35 - Fixing climate change or global warming, grazing animals on grassland sequesters carbon

Permaculture Prepper That could be, our interview was improvised. But, all content was in order of having been spoken.
Well you did great and this was an awesome one, I was aware of this gentleman and glad you got a chance to speak with him
Permaculture Prepper Thanks, I really appreciate that!
Maybe he got tired. 🐢
He sure does know a lot about gardening and farming. He was full of information until the end if what he says is accurate he's a really wise person.
Excellent interview Kaye!
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Thanks, Patrick!!
Oh this is the first video I watched of yours. 9 months ago. I need a farm and a tractor and I get to drive it! He is amazing.
+FreidasGarden My friend Sharon in DE is looking for an intern. She needs help. But, only a 5 acre farm, no tractor work.
+Kaye Kittrell | Late Bloomer Urban Organic Garden Show Thanks for thinking of me. I'm a SoCal woman and I'm afraid of snow! lol
+FreidasGarden Me, too! Vancouver was 45 and raining and I was FREEZING! LOL
I see you were freezing! hahaha SoCal women do not belong in Canada. hahaha
+FreidasGarden True! Especially not in a sleeveless silk dress. Haha.
I saw Jeff on The Living Web. He is a genius and has a wonderful scope of the world. He walks the walk. We are privileged to have him in our existence. Animals are an integral part of our farms. I realized this when I met a lady who home schools, raises chickens, and rabbits-Mansfield, my rabbit. Her boys are learning from Eagle Scouts. Her boys can do things that "men" are expected to do. Her family is amazing. She was such an inspiration, like yourself in my journey thru this life. What a blessing to have her intimately from Jeff. Thank You:)
This is a very important video Kaye. I wish more people understood the significance of soil health. Thanks for sharing it!
Organic Gardening in North Carolina Thank you! Please share with your circles. Many thanks!
Glad I went back to watch this one...this guy largely knows what he talks about...real science...and no fluff. Thank You.
Hell yeah Kaye! I love this guy! Everything he said is SPOT ON! Your best video to date! Keep up the Good Work!
Too Crunk Thank you!! I will try! I really appreciate that.
Thank you for helping bring awareness to me and to others Kaye
Mindmaid1 You're welcome! Please share with someone who doesn't care about the food they eat. Maybe they will care after the interview!
Omg! Thank you Thank you Thank You For your passionate interview's with such important info :) I've said over and over again Why doesn't the World News have a slot for this type of interviews for the US. All we hear is chatter about the doomed planet. BUT Never any Real application of fixing anything... Im very proud to say even my 20 year olds" boys " are coming to me with info about Food, and saying Mom we rolled our eyes and teased u of being a tree hugger but Now we see...With you using ur time and resources to set out here such Wonderful info for the viewing is just FANTASTIC!!!
Helen Workman THANK YOU! I'm going to share this comment on LBS on FB. So true! Since the CONSUMER is in control, the consumer MUST put their dollars toward healthy growing and preparation of food. I'm thrilled your young men are tuned in! I hope they will share this interview with their friends and get them tuned in and turned on!
Enjoyed the interview, Kaye.
Gardening With Puppies Thanks so much!
Watched before church this am, have to come home after church and re-watch, powerful information, very wise man, brilliant interview!
+hope crews Thank you, Hope! I hope I get a chance to get back to his farm one of these days. Thanks for your continued support!!
Oh and I thank you for this great interview. Loved hearing about the relationship of forest to food!
ArmindaHeart Thanks again!! Yes, me too, so important!
Grateful for your channel. I LIVE in Tennessee and didn't know about this guy. Thanks for introducing me to him.
+theIAMofME Where are you located? I'll be in TN next month.
Approximately an hour Northeast of Memphis.
Thanks for the video. We just got chickens and I understand what Poppen means when he says you need to have animals and plants to grow harmoniously together. Last year I was buying a lot of organic fertilizers and etc but this year we didn't have to because we have the chickens. We only used chicken manures and our own compost and the gardens is looking great.
Have you watched the Back to Eden documentary? It's free online. He gardens with wood chip mulch and compost from his chickens. An interview with him would be so much fun!!!
ArmindaHeart Yes, I have and am using wood chips and that's why I asked the question to Jeff. I'll think about it. Thanks so much!
Very nice, love the addition of vids and slides. :)
***** Oh, good, I was hoping it would be worth the extra effort. I'm glad you let me know!
Excellent
How can you know that the organic and pasture raised produce and beef farmers are really using these practices as some of what you buy from them don’t seem very different from the grocery store products.
Well, of course the best way is to know your farmer personally. Like if you lived near Wilmington, NC, you could be assured of your beef and pork products buying from Lizzy Lou's Family Farm in Currie. My son works for Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed, and I can vouch for their beef products. USDA is unfortunately, like many govt. agencies influenced or flat out corrupted by Big Ag and chemical companies, so the "organic" standards have dropped significantly. Very hard to know about the eggs and chickens unless you know the farmer. Best to grow your own if you can. It takes some research, but I would guess in every area, there are people who know where to go for quality animal products.
thanks for the link... very informative
alphamale292 You bet!
YIKES!!!!! OMG!!!!!!, You know your stuff.... I remember seeing a story on this guy and how he grows mushrooms on the, "farm"
alphamale292 Well, I just learned about him from Sharon at Sharon's Natural Gardens in DE who is also a biodynamic farmer. But, Jeff Poppen is a true original, and believes natural resources, including land, are to be shared, and not possessed. Glad you enjoyed it. He grows 8 acres of vegetables, and delivers CSA boxes to Nashville once per week.
This was a very good interview.
MrMac5150 THX Mr Mac!! Please share!
7:17 "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness" -John Miur? Interesting guy! Thanks for sharing.
Willow Star That's another great one, Willow, but if you click "Show More" above you will see my breakdown of the interview, and the quote to which he was referring. Thanks so much for watching!! Please share.
***** Even better ;) Awesome description btw...
Willow Star Thank you!!
Great show, Kaye.
Eugene Arceneaux Thanks for watching and listening, Gene, please share with someone who doesn't care about the food they eat! (Maybe they will after they listen!)
Tennessee has some really pretty land.
Very interesting!
+FreidasGarden Thank you, Freida!!
I applaud the care for the land.....it is just a pity that we are screwed anyway....2 SUNS TIMES UP.
YOUR HEALTH IS AT RISK OTHERWISE, THAT'S THE MAIN PART ,LIVE HEALTHY WITH ORGANIC FOOD .
he speaks well...
I live in the high desert and farmers are far from me. Not much organic farming done here.
Ah, yes, I've heard from a few folks that live in the high desert. Well, as you saw in my video last week, you grow what you can, where you are. Someday, in my lifetime I hope, organic farming (and I'm talking REAL organic farming, not what the USDA currently considers organic) will be the norm. Thanks for watching and I hope you find much inspiration on my channel!
The cow was sacred because it was the great fertilizer of the earth.,, I need to get on a farm this summer. :)
Renzlow Renzlow, did you manage to find yourself on a farm this summer? If you are anywhere near Delaware, I know a place you can intern. :)
I still haven't actually... I'm trying to get a van so I can travel/intern. Hmm... Message me.
***** I'm actually in Northern California... But I'm seriously interested in starting my own micro farm in the near future.
Renzlow Why not visit True Grass Farms in northern Marin County if you can, if it's not too far. See if there's an opportunity to learn there from Guido. I wish you the best of luck!

Squash bugs do you know anything better than 7 even dust
richard wilson no I don't know. is that for organic gardens?
No, Seven Dust is NEVER used in an organic garden. I learned on the "foodtruthfreedom" website that this is toxic to bees and there's much more info there.
how to grow wheat....it grain for chickens...🤓🤓🤓
...yes! stop going to Walmart!
