Considering that most people are eating crap wrapped in plastic, this would still be a huge step up. Also, if the soil is deep enough the roots wouldn't come in direct contact and I wouldn't be concerned with anything leaching up into the soil, watering will keep it down and wash it away.
I guess if there is pooling of water that is possible, but then they would have problems keeping their rows mounded and would end up with a muddy mess. If that's the case nothing is going to grow anyway. I still think the risk is minimal, at best. I guess it would be a case by case kind of thing and would not be quick to dismiss what could be beneficial to many. You obviously disagree, and that's fine. We can agree to disagree. :)
to remineralize the soil you can also use stinging nettles. the best you can find besides hemp. hemp heps them slugs and bugs away because of the etheric oils theyr spreding . sorry for my bad english :D
eat this at dinner im a video gamer i enjoy listing to what have to say for ur project video and store this imoformation to put for use in creative structure canvas. drawing it or describing what i learned from u
But how are they controlling weeds? I farm surrounded by woodland, and it's really a never ending battle to control the weeds that sprout up. It's practically a full time job to keep my gardens weed free, and not treating them with chemicals.
Make a beer trap. There are videos on youtube. Basically, it's a shallow dish set in the soil with beer in it. Slugs and snails are attracted to beer. The snails/slugs drown in the dish.
Well I am a Hydro guy these days. I do some potted plants in soil ( organic ) but mainly Hydro. Anytime I've had a garden in soil I have always tilled the dirt. There are plenty of commercial farmers that plow and till their soil. I do not have any experience in raised bed gardening so that is why I watch this channel to learn more :)
Back to Eden gets way too much credit for something that has been around for quite a long time. Ruth Stout, Fukuoka, and Jean Pain are just a few individuals that have been gardening with the no-till system for decades .
Man, these are the episodes I love...
THANKS JOHN.
cool your finally getting Bees
Man I really appreciate your videos, I gain hope everyday for my future garden :)
Great video as usual. What a cool urban farm.
This sure beats having yet another old crappy unused parking lot that gathers blowing trash and broken bottles. I like it! :)
I agree.
John please tell us what we should buy next.
Great episode for the backyard / urban gardener.
Looking forward to your "bee videos," John.

@grow man
no need to till proper compost/good soils. tilling breaks up the fungal nets and disturbs worms and microbes etc.

mulch
my lettuce is getting demolished by snails how can i syop them without ruining my plants?

So how would they till up the soil for next year if there's plastic underneath it? Seems like they could've got the asphalt removed
Future Back to Eden style of gardening?
Who tills nowadays?
