Hi there I've meant to tell you this I work as a tradie and travel around Canterbury New Zealand and get to see alot of our landscape on one occasion I was taken aback with the lush grass growth and vivid green colour of a site I was working on after talking to the owner of the 12 acre property and complementing him on his property he divulged that he was doing regenerative agriculture and mentioned you 💯
That's cool. Sometimes, all a farmer has to do is spray compost tea on old pastures, and they flourish dramatically.
@@helicart this man was moving his herd quickly and keeping his grass longer.
I have your book, but it’s sometimes overwhelming with the amount of info, so I turn to your vids to complete my understanding. Thank you Richard!
Glad to see that you look happy, rested and energetic :)
Loving the contant💚💚... all the way from south africa 🇿🇦
Hey dude.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for posting this Richard. Your farm has been an inspiration of a noble life I hope to achieve while I sit at my desk, save and dream
Great insights and lots of highest valuable information for hobby gardeners too! Many thanks Richard!
I'm blown away, Richard Perkins is the Einstein of sustainable gardening! I always had an idea but this took it to beyond my imagination. He's created the blueprint to success, but yet 99% of the world still doesn't listen! This has got to change.
Interesting video. I also like the assortment of products. Very nice. However, where do you buy seeds for the garden, from salads to vegetables? Could you recommend a reliable seed store? I would prefer online.
I bought many times, and most often, the seeds were of poor quality.
Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge with the world!!! You are a true inspiration for farmers and homesteaders weather we are just beginning or have years of experience. I am amazed by the amount of products that you produce in only a 3 month frost free growing season while supporting and nurturing the soil. Many blessing to you and your family!!!
This was a good endorphin fix. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Where u based in RSA? Would like to join yr group if u have one. Am in limpopo
@@christopherburman3340 good day Christopher. We are in White River Mpumalanga. Do you farm?
@@jeshurunfarm small plot. 1000 pomegranate trees, veg tunnels, johnson su bioreactors and IM. Day job = prof at uni. Not a farmer, just like nature
@@christopherburman3340 wow you sound like a farmer. Any live stock? And are you in Polokwane?
@@jeshurunfarm 15 kms from pollox. Few sheep. All pregnant. After babies are done they will go. Chicken tractors better for me I think
I always enjoy how beautifully everything is put together, how the cycles are round at the company. To be able to live and work like this must be very satisfying, and that you can also share this with so many more people. If we all become farmers in this way in the Netherlands, our government will no longer have any complaints about nitrogen problems.
wij groene boeren zijn met steeds meer :)
@@de_woldtuin Die kant zal het ook uit moeten, want hoe het nu gaat, gaat het niet goed. Grote boeren kleiner en ruimte voor veel meer kleinere boeren.
Super nice talk! As always sooo helpful!
Can one person run a farm like yours?
In all your videos it seems like you always have a lot of people there helping, but I’m not sure if they are there for class or something.
At full capacity the farm is a 4 person operation
Awesome as always , thanks
Thanks for sharing and making me think and rethink. Learnt heaps and appreciate your time. Debs from Down Under
thank you for sharing all this! very interesting!
Excellent video - thanks!
this was so good. i like the 4 by 3 ratio
I love your videos. I feel encouraged to start an homestead
Can’t wait to see it!
Great update 😊
Fantastic...much appreciated!
Thank you so much Richard.
Really interesting. Thank you.
Thank you Richard. Very useful video.
Love your work
Thank you Richard for all that you do I have followed you for yrs now & we have put your practice to work & have had amazing harvest. I have gained an abundance of knowledge from you. Again Thank you from Collinsville Oklahoma ❤️🇺🇸
Thanks for the video, very interesting and informative)))
Thanks a lot for all this shared information! It's so inspiring.
I'm wondering where pastured duck (muscovy/barbary) could be on that matrix
I live in the Shetland islands, 60 degrees Lat. Much colder and wetter weather. How would a set up I could create differ from yours in your location? Loving your content, new subbie here xxx
Nice one, also from South Africa
Hi Richard. I've been watching your content over the years and am really inspired by your techniques. Currently I'm an American (w/ lots of farming experience) living in South Korea (for the last 1.5 years) and have not heard of this no-dig network you speak of. I know this is a long shot and that you're very busy but if you do come across this message I'm curious to know what the network is called in hopes of connecting with them. Thanks so much in advance!!!
Nice video friends
Having problem accessing the link to buy the online version of your book...Is it restricted for folks in the USA?
Another great content, Richard...You have being a wonderful helper in my farming career (which is now entering the next commercial phase in Africa).
It’s not restricted. I bought his ‘regenerative agriculture’ book a few years back, it states his currency and not ours but that’s the only weirdness i remember
BRILLIANT
🎉😍 perfect! 🌱🌱🌱
Thank you for your sharing, I like the idea of the seed tray sowing tool (made out of paper). Could you share the name of the fruit tree at 19:59 ? thanks
@Richard Perkins
Thanks. Were any pastures that you established vegetables on dominated by perennial runner / vegetatively propagated grasses? How do you suggest controlling such grasses non- chemically eg kikuyu or cynodon grass in Africa? Thanks, Harland, South Africa
For some reason the link to your book does not seem to be working.
Love your work!
Your book link does not work. Thank you for this great overview!
I am overwhelmingly impressed! Earned a sub! From your techniques to your knowledge to actually getting down and dirty but producing something so amazing from it! Bravo! I strive to have a garden 1/10 as good as yours, next year I might just have to do the no-dig/no-till method. Last few years has been plowed and tilled and the weeds are atrocious! Even with mulch they come right through. What is the material that you used for your wind break fences?
Shade cloth hung on a fence is a low cost option.
Привет из России. Молодец, хорошая ферма!
Richard, hi from Michigan, USA. I'm enjoying your book and your videos. One question I'm wrestling with is regarding tarps. You've said before that you use a non-woven geotextile fabric to cover the beds at times. As far as I know those made of polypropylene, which I think is better for the environment than polyethylene, but even so, do you have any concerns about chemicals and/or microplastics contaminating the soil and/or the crops? Thank you!

Hello Richard,
Thank you for all this helpful content.
How may I contact you directly?
Kind regards,

My sister just introduced your channel and I like that you are in Sweden as it is probably closer to my growing climate. What zone for plant growing are you in?
I did compare our latitudes and I am 10 degrees north so you are definitely in much milder country. Pretty much everything here is raised beds and greenhouse
It makes sense that weeds don't grow enough in a region with only 3 months frost free. Does this work in warmer regions? It seems the grass would easily grow through the cardboard and compost in my region. Zone 9a in PNW, USA
Looks good but how much of your compost is from peat that you used to bed the chickens... You mentioned that in a previous video. Do you still do that? That has a big carbon footprint. Your planning seems very good but most people don't have access to so much compost for the beds or wood chips for paths... Do you have advise for people who don't have access to these things? Thx
If there are any saw mills near you check there for bulk wood chips. Large amounts of compost can be made from unsprayed hay (search for old hay especially you may get it free) and some kind of green. Food waste from restaurants, schools, food pantries etc. can supply the green portion in bulk for free. These places are often paying for disposal so they can benefit from a relationship with a farmer.
I have perennial weeds. Don't want to use any chemical spray. What to do?
I am trying to buy your book, but I can not check out with Credit-Card... Can you help?
Hi all, does anyone know what I can use to start no dig if I don't have access to cardboard or wood chips. Thanks in advance
You can cover pathways with any carbonaceous material. I have been using aged straw that was lying around (There was no longer any viable seed in it) You’ll need to apply it quite generously though. You could also use thick layers of leaves, but these might get mushy/muddy depending on your rain levels.
I'm from Bangladesh and I have 1,5 acor land of Sandy soil . Will it work for me
?
You could look into making biochar to use as a layer between the compost and the sand. Also, you could lay down cardboard under the beds themselves, although this would make a temporary mechanical barrier between your compost and the soil underneath.
