  • This is Eliot Coleman's presentation at the Asheville Mother Earth News Fair in April of 2016. Eliot is a celebrated farming expert encouraging people and communities to choose locally grown organic food. He helped pioneer the movement with his first book "The New Organic Grower" published over 20 years ago. He continues leading the way, expanding the limits of the harvest season deep into and through winter at his world-renowned farm in Harborside, Maine.
    His latest book, "The Winter Harvest Handbook" which is featured in this talk, shares his hard-won experience for gardeners and farmers alike. Reap the benefits of his wisdom and grow abundant cold season harvests even through the depths of winter. Grow quality produce in unheated or minimally heated, movable greenhouses by adopting his innovative practices and adapting them to your own climate.

    I ordered Eliot Coleman's book - "The Winter Harvest With Eliot Coleman" - yesterday and decided to Google to learn more about his gardening techniques while I wait to receive it. This video was fantastic. Lots of great information and cool to see the progression of "inventions" and techniques.

    Fantastic speaker! Talks like these just electrify me! Im bringing in the compost next month. 28 tons, good heavens... The smallest amount they can be bothered to bring... ok. I was going to do the slow route but my soil is just so aweful and depleted, it needs a boost otherwise i'm just wasting money/rent on crops i could have had. I just grow for myself and a friend right now. We are joking around, talking about being pro growers. Just dreamers for now. ;)
    All these different tunnel options for winter growing were a real eye opener! Wow, that scisor door, i might be able to still modify my old frames to that. I'm still looking for affordable options as my two 50 euro plastic tunnels are already starting to fold and degrade, but they were fine for exploring what you can do with them as i have no experience with growing under cover. I will be building a more permanent one next. Maybe *we* will. It's difficult to align wishes and preferences as we both value maximum personal freedom, but we're on the same plot. At the end of the day, he sneaks off with my peppers and i eat his cucumbers. It's all ours anyway.
    I already showed him what compost will do and he loves my greenhouses. He wants a greenhouse now too but he's not won over by the compost idea. He will have to watch me pull out bigger carrots and grow better peppers for another year i guess and hold back some compost goodness for him. I'm quite competitive in a fun way. It's great to finally have a growing companion. We're loving the gardening life! Pure happyness.
    Warm Autumn greetings, from Holland.

      Compost is the way to go, with the benefit of building healthier, more nutritious soil, which is more moisture retentive, so saves money & time watering, keeps roots cooler - even when the weather turns hot, creates much more extensive root systems which are much less vulnerable to the whims of weather or occasional human negligence, creates a deeper, softer soil which is easier to plant & harvest, as the years pass.
      The better the soil, the more worms, microorganisms & micronutrients there are, & there's the almost magical thing of all, of this type of soil & the more robust root systems which helps to beef up the plant's natural defenses to diseases, molds & mildew, from what I've read, & may discourage weeds, & attacks by insects, which may descend upon weak plants before they go for strong, healthy ones - or so I've heard.
      You posted the above a year ago, so by now you may be able to tell us how things went, if you're not too busy gloating over your superior crops.

    We here at Toppers aeroponics have finally beet mother nature. It has taken 2 months of computer time to get the answer. But it's here. I just came in from our greenhouse with the the inside temp over 70 f and outside temp 12 to 17 cent here in sunny Spain.
    No extra elect, fire or other means to heat inside of greenhouse.
    We are contacting Alaska for a area to check and see if our computer program works there as well as Spain and calif.
    Will be publishing results in about a month or so . So be one of the first to get on our mailing list for the results of our tests in about a month.

    Wonderful ideas no doubt but I can't help but cringe when I see the amount of plastic that will end up as waste just to save money !? I think there comes a point where you have to consider more important factors than just limiting that to profitability ... at what TOTAL cost in terms of sustainability and regeneration ? I don't see putting plastic hoops over acres and acres as either sustainable or regenerative. We're not done evolving, let's keep working this from a different angle.
