I've had a no-till garden for three years and have about five minutes of weeding per week. People see the size of my garden and the lack of weeds and assume I must spend all my free time out there, but the reality is that I rarely have to do anything beyond planting, mulching, and harvesting veggies. I have to keep expanding the garden every year to give me more to do out there.😁I'm also finding that I have to do less watering each year due to the organic matter in the soil and all the mulching I'm doing, and that's despite the past few years in Missouri being exceptionally hot and dry. I'm doing more and more dry farming and getting great results.
Totally agreed. I’m in year 4 of no-till I’m Virginia, and it has been transformational. I laughed when you said you have to keep expanding just to have something to do. Same here! Happy gardening.
Teach me your ways! A couple years ago we bought 40 acres in Mo, and I realized our previous property spoiled us. This patch while lovely in location and seclusion has so much clay. This is only our second year on the property and I’m struggling to fight the crabgrass in our no-till garden
@@argetlamzn My method is having permanent beds (I do 30 inch) with woodchip pathways between them (I've been able to get some woodchips from ChipDrop or by calling local arborists, but most we've gotten for about $25 a truckload from Missouri Organic). When expanding the garden I cover the future bed with cardboard and cover the cardboard with leaves or leaf mold (we collect all our leaves with a lawn sweeper pulled behind our 4-wheeler), and I cover the future pathway with woodchips. To hold the leaves down sometimes I sprinkle them with compost, sometimes I cover them with heavy green yard waste like iris leaves, or if I have a lot of yard waste at the time I may do some lasagna-style layering with green and brown waste. I water it once a day for a couple days to make sure the leaves get matted down and won't blow away. If I do that in the fall, sometimes the bed is ready to use the following spring. If it's an area with some serious clay I cover crop for a year (usually sorghum sudangrass). Once I've got a bed planted I usually mulch it with leaves or leaf mold. I also have a wood chipper and sometimes mulch with homemade woodchips that are a lot smaller than woodchips you'd get elsewhere. By year two or three weeds are pretty much gone. When they pop up, sometimes I pull them and other times I just pile more mulch on top of them. I usually fork beds in the spring (I don't have an actual broadfork and just use a spading fork) but assume I won't need to fork them beyond another few years based on what Jesse and other no-till growers say. It amazes me how my clay has been transformed in a couple years. Leaves and especially leaf mold are so helpful in transforming clay. I have lots of wire leaf bins that we store leaves in, and some of the leaves I put through a leaf mulcher so they break down quicker or shred them with a weed whacker. We collect just about every leaf off our 10 acres. It's been so nice to transform our garden for free other than the woodchips we've had to bring in.
@@mslorischoolsocialworker , thank you! We bought an industrial grade wood chipper last winter and are slowly chewing through all the Bradford pear trees and turning them into chips, sounds like I should keep doing that and get a leaf catcher for us - the sycamores drop so many! Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed reply!!!
Another excellent Sunday AM for me :) the No Till is 100% game changer. As you said I still get weeds, but NOWHERE near what I’ve had in the past. Ive also noticed a much greater abundance and variety of birds. (Who wake up near 4:00 Am) We are mere months from buying our retirement house - farm, then 2 years to get our systems and scope better defined and then perfect a new set of skills :) thank you for sharing ALL of your sharing. Oh yeah, my DryShod clogs and boots arrived this week LOVE THEM!
Thank you for pointing out the unseen and not understood truth of a plant's life in no-till soil. I have many hickups in my very first season, such as my broad beans not having flowered in the upper halv (due to the drought?), stressed sunflowers with bad rooting from the beginning (again drought?) and freeland tomatoes, looking nothing like they should. The site is an open field, originally 200 and more years worked by plough and the last 80 or so being monocultured. It is a good location, clay, sloping slightly south, trees for windscreening, mild climate 8b on an island 54 degrees north. I am still setting up infrastucture and improvisation greets me everywhere, every day. But then it is a satisfying and a beautyful view, comparing the mulch compost beds with their cropps, in stripes and beginning to patchwork, against the wourn out big wheetfields - it is so worth it!
We always think that soil should be loose to grow plants. But it’s not completely true. Yes, plants don’t like compaction, but they also don’t like too loose soil. Turning the soil into sand by mechanical processes is not a natural thing. Soil needs a little bit of tightness and plants are used to it and want it. No-till provides this in a balanced way.

Soil cannot turn into sand by mechanical process, they are not the same thing. Sand is finely ground rock, soil is decomposing organic matter. You may expose sand during the tilling process, but you are not turning soil into sand. Edit: sand is also ground up seashells.
I also have a small garden, much smaller like this. I often plant trees and cover them with straw and grass, then chop them into small pieces for easy decomposition. From the initial dry ground, I kept doing that and gradually improved. Now I can comfortably plant trees because the soil is better. Reclamation takes a lot of time, luckily I was successful in reclamation.
I tilled 2 years of my new garden. The third year it turned to “concrete” between the heavy spring rains and tilling. I said enough! I researched and added woodchips to the walkways and perimeter and cut grass to the beds. 3 years later I can walk in every area of the garden in the spring and they’re aren’t any puddles. Droughts are less damaging as well. I liked it so much that I made a woodchip path from the house to the garden. The grass along the edges of the path is the healthiest in the yard. Now I am raising rabbits in tractors that are moved every day in the orchard. It is amazing how green and lush that area has become! They are beneficial little mowers!
I'm too new to really have an opinion but in my new raised beds last year, I kept one of them planted with carrots through the winter/early spring and then pulled and immediately put my spring/summer plants in and that bed is doing phenomenally better than the other beds that were just mulched for winter. I'm totally sold on keeping plants in the soil at all times and only disturbing when absolutely necessary.

This is my first year experimenting with no-till, I have a bed that is tilled next to a no-till bed with the same crops growing. The weeds seem to be the same but the plants in the no-till are much larger, like almost twice as big! Thanks for your channel!
The quality of my acre garden has enlightened me to the benefits of no till and mulch and wood chip paths. Soil life bloomed when chips were added 3 years ago. My weed pressure is still great, mainly because some places seeded out before I could take care of them. I'm slowing down these days, but I love to feed my family with wholesome food! And the neighborhood. I love your videos and bought your book! So much info, that plays into my methods of gardening!! Thank you!!!
I often watch your videos, I find them very insightful and well made, I put up my first garden this year and it’s doing so well, all the guys like you and Charles dowding have done so much in spreading information on how to care for the soil and work with nature so it gives us abundance. Please keep it up. I’ve learned so much from all the videos of yours I see
We have a no till garden and it is the best thing we ever did, not many weeds, not a lot of watering and it does pretty well. Thanks for all the videos.
I just got done reading your book that I got from your website. I must say it does a really great job of breaking down "no dig" principles...making them much less intimidating to put into practice. I'm only on a 9th of an acre but I can't wait for my cover crop seeds to come in the mail so I can start putting these principles into practice. Plus, it's just a flat out beautiful and well put together book. I'm happy I bought it!
My love of no-till started after straw bale gardening... you just spread out the bales when they're spent and it just took off from there. Now I use a lot more living mulch like clovers, mâche, leaf lettuce, microgreens, etc. than I do wood chips or straw. I've also learned to really appreciate dynamic accumulator "weeds." I mean, between compost teas and instant mulch...how can this not be part of the overall plan? I now propagate weeds (dock, sorrel, clover, pigweed, etc.) near helpful locations (tea buckets/beds/trees) to keep them handy for chop and drop and the difference is night and day. It's so easy. The thing I struggle with is expanding and maintaining that balance. There is this need for continuous in-flow of organic products to build up soil/mulch/compost and sourcing it in the volumes I need for the rate of expansion I'm looking for is very difficult. And with an eye towards sustainable production on site... I'm getting creative.
Home gardeners considering no-till this video is spot on. While a garden is still work, being no-till for a decade has made growing my own veggies possible with rheumatoid arthritis. When RA hit me May of 2011 my tilled garden became a jungle of weeds and cracked earth. No-till got me back to doing what I love.
I chose to stop tilling and switch to raised beds due to unpredictable flooding. My garden sits low and spring is usually pretty wet. My soil was clay-heavy, so I have also benefitted by adding a layer of winter mulch of mown and bagged leaves and grass clippings each fall. My beds actually hold a good bit of my old garden soil, which was built up with compost (plus it used to be cow pasture) and it holds a lot of moisture and provides a great rhizosphere for the bedded plants. It was the best decision I ever made.
After being introduced to no-til by you, so many things changed about our growing practices. First, our property is clay muck. Every time I tilled it got worse. After making permeant rows and stopping the tillage everything changed. We now have soil to actually grow food in. We mulch between the rows with wood shavings from the local saw mill and that make a huge difference in weed control and water retention. In between seasons we prep our rows and cover with silage tarp. When we pull it back we are almost ready to plant. Thanks for all the amazing knowledge and wisdom you share here.
Love your informative videos. I've sorta 'hacked' at gardening for 10 years, but purchased your 'Living Soil Handbook' this Spring and it has revolutionized my garden & my sanity! Heavy mulched this past early Spring for the first time after using a early Winter tarp, and no tilling at all this year! We've had long cycles of rain & no rain but my garden hasn't suffered as much through those cycles! And, after several inches of rain over the past 3 days, I've not missed a minute of being in and working in the garden..with no muddy shoes! Weed pressure is the least I've ever seen in my 10 short years of gardening, and harvests are as good as any of those years..very encouraging! But, still so much to learn (bed turnover makes me anxious!!) So, I've become an advocate, telling my story to everyone who'll listen!
💯 nailed it about The Bear!!! Love that show, also from restaurant industry and of course love me some Matty!!! ❤ y’all, thanks for all I have learned about soul management, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We have a huge seed bank to deal with after leaving the veggie garden go wild for two years due illness. We are getting there after just a couple of years by mulching the pathways in about 20cm/8 in of wood chip twice a year. We use aged broken down chip to dress the beds and shovel pathways onto beds before renewing deep chip. Soil quality is improving significantly. We have about 15-20 truck loads down the yard aging. Some we just had to pay for delivery, some totally free as they regularly trim trees overhanging our road for driver safety. Rather than an hour round trip to a green mulch drop off site where they have to pay, the contractors are more than happy to drive 5-10 mins and leave us the chip. I painted a sign for the roadside as contractors change so it’s not uncommon to have deliveries out of the blue. We normally have high rainfall (2.2m / 87 in but in 2022 plus Jan 2023 we had 3.8m / 150 in … neighbour less than 2km/1.2 miles had close to 6m/236 in) even though in a cool temperate region with occasional snow so mulch breaks down in months. This year though we’re heading for drought conditions so mulching will be critical.
We now definitely look forward to your Sunday Morning sharing of your No-Till Gardening/Farming knowledge. This is out first few months into trying the No-Till method of farming/gardening. Our soil is very heavy clay so the using a Broadfork is a definite Beeeccchh! You say you get on average about 50 inches of rain a year. The official count for our rainfall as of July 1st was 2.07 inches. Because of the open area that we live in we do have a lot of weed pressure. Always a fight with the weeds. Need I mention the nightmare and the never ending Bermuda Grass. Anyone out there have a safe and sane method and ridding oneself of the Bermuda Grass catastrophe!!! Well finally ordering your No-Till book. Can't wait to read it and trying to follow your N0-Till "standards". Keep up the good work and nerds like us will continue to follow you!
I've got experience with couch grass, only. What I noticed is that mulching with greens such as grass clippings ist not as helpful as using browns such as leaves or even ramiul wood chips. In a more fungally dominated soil, there is hardly any weed pressure and the soil is so soft that you can pull the grass easily.
I would solarize it with black plastic sheet mulch, then smother it with multiple layers of overlapping cardboard (clean with no glossy graphics) and weighed down with a good 3-6" of wood chips which you can get from chipdrop or your local arborists.
So my recommendation for any persistent weed like that is tarp for as long as you can, mulch as deep as you can, and pull every bit out the second you see it. Plant your most intensive crops in those areas so you will stay on top of the issue.
@@beateschluter664 This Spring we had thought about using the solarize system and opted not to. Now it looks like we will be trying newspapers and much and seeing how that works?
Out of all videos, I found this one the most reassuring. Spent the last two year's working 7 days a week, building and developing my garden. To be drought tolerant in Southern California. Only started flowing your canel about a year ago. And applying some of your techniques and knowledge has 100% helped. It's truly rewarding when your able to reap the and see the benefits of hard work in a healthy garden.

Another great video jammed pack of knowledge. I love starting my Sunday morning with a coffee and a lesson from my favourite farmer. Such an inspiration
Try this method for half your garden. If you like it after a few seasons, expand. Don't forget piles of mulch! I have weeds but I consider it free bio-mass and use it for composting and also for lining beds and paths to stop future weeds and enrich soil. Once you get going and understand what's happening it's a pleasure to work with Mom-earth rather than doing other things.
Fun fact, plants reabsorb up to 90% of their exudates! I learned that from Matt Powers: The Permaculture Student. I started off as a container gardener and quickly learned the power of mulch to prevent pots from drying out too quickly in our 100 degrees F plus California summers. Then later learned about fungal networks and all the microlife doing so much work for free and realized it's best to just mimic nature and let them do their thing... I'll till in amendments once to kickstart crappy soil but after it's mulched no more.
Very impressive pictures of your farm!!! I got to be patient over the years, and keep on with mulching and sowing green manures to see similar results as to yours.
I totally concur with the (lack of) weeding and the need for less irrigation, which in our sandy soil is critical. You are so enjoyable and educational, Jesse! Thank you so much!
My garden has improved due to using grass mulch from my yard. less weeds and less watering. Adding compost from my piles has greatly improved the soil over last few years.
I’m a new subscriber and this is my first year gardening in 8b. We have had a lot of learning experience this first year. What I didn’t expect were the wide variety of grasshoppers in our area. They really did a number on our garden and on many of the trees my hubby planted. I really like this no till gardening as I only dug rows with my shovel and turned the piles over and added peet moss and chicky poo for water retention and fertilizer when planting seeds or starter. It was not a good idea doing it that way as the weeds were besties with all the plants. I should have cleared the entire area first. Thanks for your channel and the effort you put out for free.
Inspiring to see and hear. I am coming from a background managing a tillage farm, which had its advantages, sure, but what was hardest was the lack of longevity when things are tillage based. The annual 'reset button' was demoralizing. Starting up no-till production on our new farm after years of experimenting on a home scale with deep compost systems and it is a joy to work in the garden.
This is so cool! Until I heard about no-till from Charles Dowding, the concept was completely foreign. I'm so happy for getting to know more about it since this style of gardening is better for my health. You sum things up perfectly.
I also found out about No Till from Charles Dowding but thru my son who lives in Portland, Oregon. It has allowed me to continue gardening post stroke. I'm now growing items I only dreamed about.
@@lolaseymour1532 How wonderful! I had a neck injury that got operated on years ago which makes heavy work harder. No-till has more advantages than one would think at first glance :D
tanah yang baik adalah tanah yang banyak mengandung unsur hara ,bukan masalah tanah itu gembut atau padat, dan penting menjaga ph tanah biar tetap seimbang.kerja bagus pak 👍👍
🔸️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (The recognition of God's work in these times, in the greatest part, is the recognition of the God incarnate of the last days, what His main ministry is and what His purpose is to do in the world. Through speaking, by doing and speaking in all the land. This is the work of God in the last days; He only speaks so that the world may become a world of words, so that each person may be provided and enlightened by His word, and so that the spirit of man would be awakened and he would be clear about the visions. When Jesus came He spread the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, and fulfilled the work of redemption by crucifixion. The coming of Jesus the Age of Law and ushered in the Age of Grace. The coming of God incarnate in the last days brought an end to the Age of Grace. He came primarily to speak His words, to use the words to make man perfect, to enlighten and enlighten man, and to remove the place of the obscure God within the heart of man.

I’m also growing in Kentucky, near Taylorsville. Just bought your book to help me along my no till journey. It’s been 1 year since we’ve started our flower farm, and since we’ve been using no till farming methods. I’m excited to get your book and start improving my systems!
100% can confirm everything in the video. Same happened on my wood chip mulch converted back and front yards. No slug and snail pressure. With my mulch it’s pill bugs. It took a while but the birds discovered this bountiful supply of land shrimp and are now flicking over the chips with their beaks and feasting on them. Just harvested a bunch of melons. I never watered them once except when I transplanted them for the first few days. Now I’ve moved on from personal sized melons to watermelons. So far they are growing fruit everywhere. Let’s see if they can support watermelon to fruition with no watering outside of the rain the mulch has soaked up and the ground it has protected from damaging direct sunlight.
Before I was out there chopping weeds all the time. Better than the gym. Now spot hoeing and observing if weeds there are just part of the diverse cover crop or need to get taken out.
Total game changer. I'm selling my tiller because i never use it. Weeds still a challenge but much easier to pull out when they're forced to come up through a layer of wood chips or straw.
Love no till. I expanded my garden in the fall and did till because the soil was so compacted. Never again. The weed pressure on that area is immense compared to every where else in my gardens. In the future I will broad fork and just be patient for the soil life to break up the compaction.
Yes, patience is so important. Even though I'm eager to expand my garden, I'm holding off on planting in new areas for a year or two to give myself time to work through the compaction slowly with forking, mulching, and cover cropping. You definitely have to plan way ahead!
I started no till after seeing the no dig guy. I'm moving on from a small garden towards a market garden. No till has done wonders for me here in qld Australia. I've looked at permaculture, no dig and hugèkulture. The latter being mainly an experiment. Pumpkin suits it well. Weeds are a lot less for sure. When I do neglect an area and weeds invade I just mow em..pull bad one's.. then start again with cardboard and compost. Thanks for the compost information. I have now started honing in on food type compost. I use cut Rhodes grass as mulch along with dried grass. Those two with lots of cow manure are a great basis for compost. I was making various teas. But figured it's best to make compost that feeds the soil. My soil is very sandy. Without compost and mulch its hard to keep it moist. Water is a premium resource now. In the future it will be a precious commodity. Love your vids. Thank you
it just made it possible to garden, having a bedrock at just 10 inches here, and having great produce! with Natural lawn clippings and compost only, no dig ever growing on top of grasses, loosing the soil just with my pitchfork.
I just bought 6 acres of clay soil in central New York! Nothing but rocks and hard soil when dry and slippery mud when wet. 12:42 I started out with a 50 x 50 garden. Will probably start no tiii next year. Nothing thrives in the soil except weeds. I was never interested in soil signs until seeing your progress.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and farm with us. I am also in Kentucky. I am out of farming right now but I'll get back on my feet and get back into it again!
I have a large no-till garden mostly in raised beds. I do one big weeding after I get all my plants in in the spring and early summer and mulch as I go. Then I do one big clearing of weeds later in the fall when I wrap up the garden and add compost. Mulch it all over one more time and it sits from November to March here in the frigid frozen north of MN. :)
Thanks for this! Lots of good information. I can't bear to till my garden because the mulches that I put down are necessary with the Florida heat, to protect the plant roots from excessive heat and drying, feeds the worm that are within the first foot of soil, and I'm not wanting to pull the mulch aside to turn the soil and kill the worms, I could go on. I just keep adding more mulch to the top of it. Now I may pull the mulch aside to do top dressing of slow release fertilizers and then replace it. Other than this, watering and liquid fertilizers require not much disturbance of the top mulching layer. Keeping up with adding more mulch layers due to heavy rains or just plain breakdown quicker in the summer is my only issue. Pest pressure, like flea beetles in early Spring, and the leaf miners, I have blamed on getting these in the mulch I buy. Working on that remedy now.
After 30 years of composting for mulching my annuals I stumbled on a quicker, easier, richer mulch: SHREDDED LEAVES. My neighbors trees dropped too many leaves for her to manage in the fall so I volunteered to "clean up". I bought an electric leaf vac/shredder, 15-1. It came with a canvas bag which I slung over my shoulder, requiring frequent stops to empty. (This would have gone much quicker if I had help from someone pushing a large cart to trap the mulch.) I put the mulch in my 140 sq. foot, raised bed. It slowly, over a few winter months, broke down, leaving dark soil. I will NEVER compost again. Remember: Keep a cover crop, even if it's just weeds. Why? Building soil is done by ROOTS IN THE GROUND. Observe nature, learn, follow. Don't make work by fighting nature or following traditional farming/gardening, e.g., turning over the soil. Does nature plow? Hell no!
I have the garden, the neighbor has the trees. I also chop leaves with the blower. With the bag on the mower I lower the blade and grind up straw for mulch. Grass too.
Shredded leaves are amazing. They are so helpful in amending clay soil. I have an electric leaf vac/shredder as well. We got an attachment that sends the leaves from the shredder into a large trash can, but it can be a pain and sometimes I go back to using the canvas bag.
I've been practicing no till for a few years now in my garden and notice all the benefits you mentioned. Wish I would have learned this technique a long time ago!
In Kansas we had a cool spring. Germinating seeds in the ground was very difficult. June first are soil temperature under mulch was 60 degrees, even the potatoes were held back. The worked ground warmed up much faster so nitrogen wasn't a big problem
Great video Jesse. We are in our 3rd year and started off no-till but we built in 3 stages. We are overwhelmed with weeds even after harping over winter. We don’t have cover in the aisles yet though. We are in PNW so slugs are a problem in spring and fall so we were hesitant to put in wood chips and we also have wireworm because we built our farm on a grass field so live aisles would not work. We are going to get wood chips now because the weeds are making us not love this job right now. This helped!
Thank you for clarifyring the issues with hydrophobic compost, i was already suspecting this was an issue with the compost i currently use, but you have described my beet issue this year (germination yes, getting down roots no) spot on. Great vid as usual. Greet the kittycat please.
I have been "attempting" a light version of no-till at my garden plot for about the last 2-3 years, two miles from the coast in Orange County. I will admit, I usually dont cut at the roots and just pull it up unless its something thick like a cabbage. I will mess with about the top 2" max of soil to help shape burms to hold water to help conserve and make things neater. I could definitely have composted more heavily, and I have admittedly only mulched the spaces in between rows once due to cost. Generally I will compost a row once or twice a year, once following the last harvest of winter crops like onions, cabbage, broccoli and lettuce have been pulled and new spring plants have settled in, and then again after pulling those summer plants and putting in a fall crop. I can't say I've noticed a considerable change in my soil health besides having more worms, and the clay kinda just eats up whatever I put on top of it and I'm definitely losing soil to erosion. I also have a pretty bad nematode problem that has never really been dealth with, and I am basically planting the whole garden with marigolds to try to finally fight them. Weeds have been slightly less of an issue but because of my surroundings and neighbors it will always be a problem. Part of the reason I'm not throwing tons of money at improving the soil is becuase I am renting the space, but I'm wondering if what I'm doing is making any difference at all??
Thanks for another great video, I love learning about soil health, even find some of the dad jokes funny. I am in my second year growing, in London, the original one 😉, only have a small raised bed, dozen potato buckets and general pots for tomatoes, peas and beans etc. A few fruit bushes around the edges. The lack of weeds in the raised bed is astonishing, i follow Charles Dowding, started with cardboard to kill the grass and weeds. Last year hardly any weeds, got wiped out by aphids and i don't know what,end of the year, clear bed. I filled with old manure compost from the garden centre originally, about 6/8" deep, rotted down about 3-4" over the year. Redid the cardboard, refilled with more organic compost from the garden centre beginning of the year......... Pulled my first weed today, i use straw mulch too. No dig is the way forward, I have a compost bin and use my own when possible, sure you know how slow it is over winter. Oh i noticed something amazing today, was planting some lettuce starts in the raised bed, watered it (its compost, still 6"deep with mulch), watered them in, generously as always. Worms galore, popping up all around it. Planted some comfrey in the borders(just standard soil), im struggling to dig it, looks dry, soak for ages to loosen up, no worms! I also use molasses on the bed, maybe they all live there now 😂
@notillgrowers: Advice for no-till (regenerative organic) vegetable growing in harsh climates (hot, dry), no or very limited mulch, compost material & finances available; have to grow on site, eg green manure cover crops (not tilled in; eg crimp-terminate). Appreciate your recommendations. Including perhaps pointing to growers with relevant knowledge & experience of growing with such conditions to share on this; or books or YT channels. Thank you for really practical, educational and inspiring content.
We started our garden last summer, and I had to till up the ground because it was covered in grass. I put down a 2-3" layer of compost and I didn't have the cardboard needed to suppress weeds. By the end of last summer, we basically just gave up weeding and the garden got taken over. This spring, we properly weeded once at the beginning of the year, I put down a ton of wood chips in the walkways and was able to get 5-6" of compost in the beds. Weeds have been much, much more manageable. We just went through a crazy month or so where I was basically unable to weed, and when I went out to weed for the first time in a while, it took me maybe 20 minutes to get the garden back to an acceptable state. What do you think is the limiting factor in spreading this technique to more industrialized farming? I always have trouble getting the compost I need, but I know the folks at Assawaga are able to get by with a really very small compost operation, for the size of their garden. I ask, because, while this is awesome, the average person just cannot afford the prices at my local farmer's markets. I was watching you hand plant those lettuces in the video and could almost hear the cash register going off.
We converted our main garden to no-till roughly three years ago. The weed pressure is definitely lower, the soil quality is much better. I do have two other garden plots that I still till and the weed pressure is high.
Living 40 years on the southernmost edge of North America I have a front row seat to climate change. Growing food each year is becoming such a challenge as to make it almost impossible. I have concluded that I cannot grow very far into the spring even anymore due to drought and heat. Most of my growing must be done in the late fall and winter which also has its problems. Just thinking I should’ve moved north already cause it’s getting too hard to live here at all. Scary and dark times we are living through And I fear for our children. People like you are to be commended for your contributions to the planet.
The Bear/Hulu - awesome reference!! 😜 And, nope, that's not the only thing I grabbed from this video. Great information that's thoughtful and useful - even for a lil backyard gardener like me. Thank you!
I am gardening in the Highlands of Scotland . I can get free spent grains from the local brewery. What is your opinion of the usefulness of this waste product? I have put some over my empty vegetable beds today. I love your channel though our weather is very different. You are very informative - no waffling, straight to the point.
the one weed i did not expect to love my no till garden was dock i swear i spend as much time attacking dock now as i did with all my other weeds combind, i know the overall weed pressure is down but my god does that stuff love my garden
No till has many advantages. It works great in high rainfall environments. In Arid climates, however, It isn't so effective. Some tillage must occur, plus calcium levels be adjusted to deal with excesses of Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium.
Ever since reading "Gaia's Garden" and discovering Charles Dowding, we've been all permaculture and no-till. It's changed the way I thought of gardening/small scale farming completely. From one nerd to another, thank you for all the content and dad jokes.
I'm semi no-till (I don't have a working tiller..lol). I use a shovel, broadfork, hoe and rake. I use a lot of wood chips for mulch mostly in my walk ways and as they break down they a lot of structure and nutrients to my soil.
We switch to no-till with our pumpkins and squash field on a rolled rye mulch last year. What a gain of time compared to tilled way, we had two field to appreciated the difference in term of weed control. For sure no till field required way less time than tilled one and the yield was good, little bit less faster but more healty harvested fruits.
I'm prepping to go no till in my very tiny 15x15 foot plot. This is year 1, I tilled up the ground due to compaction and heavy weeds, ive been spending basically every day hoeing around trying to weed everything out.. After this season, I'm going to lay fabric down to suppress the weeds in the area, I have it bordered so nothing will grow into the plot, then I'm going to pull up the fabric and amend the soil before laying down straw mulch and beginning the no till process. not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but gotta start somewhere.
I put down fabric 2nd year of no till in a similarly sized garden (fabric is top layer, nothing on top). Burned some holes to plant into and best decision ever. Weeding is like 5 minutes every 2-4 weeks mainly due to weed pressure on the perimeter. I also keep trellises and drip tape for irrigation setup. My time is spent starting seeds, planting, trellising/pruning and harvesting! If you are lazy and don't care how it looks, consider not removing the fabric.
Thanks for the video. Excited to be on the journey. Definitely the first couple years are hard as we figure out what our plants need and realize that they are growing a bit slower because of the high carbon in our compost. Overall though, once they start to take off they really do look great.
Hasnt changed us yet but Ground Effect Farms is one maybey two years out from no till. I could make clay pots out of our growing areas. We are slowly turning it into soil and we have great life under the soil which is awesome.
I use no-till practices on some parts of our growing areas, not on others. The results are mixed: There where I have to fight Johnson grass, no-till doesn't seem to work, that plant breaks through every mulch, no matter how thick. Since I work the farm with a team of draft horses, which I enjoy, I won't go no-till everywhere.
I have question about the hay you put down on the rows to keep them covered. I understand why but when you are ready to plant do you plant with the straw there or do you remove it? I am learning this year with two rows of no dig/till, I also have a ton of grow bags because for years I was fighting weeds and couldn’t take it anymore. I was so happy to find your channel along with Charles Dowding and have books from both of you.
I find johnson grass likes grassy mulches like hay more than compost. It may be a matter of matching the mulch to the issue. It's a weed that really needs a lot of attention and the roots cannot be broken up or the issue multiplies. I also find that any mulches make it easier to pull out.

I've had a no-till garden for three years and have about five minutes of weeding per week. People see the size of my garden and the lack of weeds and assume I must spend all my free time out there, but the reality is that I rarely have to do anything beyond planting, mulching, and harvesting veggies. I have to keep expanding the garden every year to give me more to do out there.😁I'm also finding that I have to do less watering each year due to the organic matter in the soil and all the mulching I'm doing, and that's despite the past few years in Missouri being exceptionally hot and dry. I'm doing more and more dry farming and getting great results.
Totally agreed. I’m in year 4 of no-till I’m Virginia, and it has been transformational. I laughed when you said you have to keep expanding just to have something to do. Same here! Happy gardening.
Teach me your ways! A couple years ago we bought 40 acres in Mo, and I realized our previous property spoiled us. This patch while lovely in location and seclusion has so much clay. This is only our second year on the property and I’m struggling to fight the crabgrass in our no-till garden
@@argetlamzn My method is having permanent beds (I do 30 inch) with woodchip pathways between them (I've been able to get some woodchips from ChipDrop or by calling local arborists, but most we've gotten for about $25 a truckload from Missouri Organic). When expanding the garden I cover the future bed with cardboard and cover the cardboard with leaves or leaf mold (we collect all our leaves with a lawn sweeper pulled behind our 4-wheeler), and I cover the future pathway with woodchips. To hold the leaves down sometimes I sprinkle them with compost, sometimes I cover them with heavy green yard waste like iris leaves, or if I have a lot of yard waste at the time I may do some lasagna-style layering with green and brown waste. I water it once a day for a couple days to make sure the leaves get matted down and won't blow away. If I do that in the fall, sometimes the bed is ready to use the following spring. If it's an area with some serious clay I cover crop for a year (usually sorghum sudangrass). Once I've got a bed planted I usually mulch it with leaves or leaf mold. I also have a wood chipper and sometimes mulch with homemade woodchips that are a lot smaller than woodchips you'd get elsewhere. By year two or three weeds are pretty much gone. When they pop up, sometimes I pull them and other times I just pile more mulch on top of them. I usually fork beds in the spring (I don't have an actual broadfork and just use a spading fork) but assume I won't need to fork them beyond another few years based on what Jesse and other no-till growers say. It amazes me how my clay has been transformed in a couple years. Leaves and especially leaf mold are so helpful in transforming clay. I have lots of wire leaf bins that we store leaves in, and some of the leaves I put through a leaf mulcher so they break down quicker or shred them with a weed whacker. We collect just about every leaf off our 10 acres. It's been so nice to transform our garden for free other than the woodchips we've had to bring in.
Ditto !
@@mslorischoolsocialworker , thank you! We bought an industrial grade wood chipper last winter and are slowly chewing through all the Bradford pear trees and turning them into chips, sounds like I should keep doing that and get a leaf catcher for us - the sycamores drop so many! Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed reply!!!
Another excellent Sunday AM for me :) the No Till is 100% game changer. As you said I still get weeds, but NOWHERE near what I’ve had in the past. Ive also noticed a much greater abundance and variety of birds. (Who wake up near 4:00 Am) We are mere months from buying our retirement house - farm, then 2 years to get our systems and scope better defined and then perfect a new set of skills :) thank you for sharing ALL of your sharing. Oh yeah, my DryShod clogs and boots arrived this week LOVE THEM!
I sure wish I could buy all my produce from you! We need more of these kind of farmers!
Thank you for pointing out the unseen and not understood truth of a plant's life in no-till soil. I have many hickups in my very first season, such as my broad beans not having flowered in the upper halv (due to the drought?), stressed sunflowers with bad rooting from the beginning (again drought?) and freeland tomatoes, looking nothing like they should. The site is an open field, originally 200 and more years worked by plough and the last 80 or so being monocultured. It is a good location, clay, sloping slightly south, trees for windscreening, mild climate 8b on an island 54 degrees north. I am still setting up infrastucture and improvisation greets me everywhere, every day. But then it is a satisfying and a beautyful view, comparing the mulch compost beds with their cropps, in stripes and beginning to patchwork, against the wourn out big wheetfields - it is so worth it!
We always think that soil should be loose to grow plants. But it’s not completely true. Yes, plants don’t like compaction, but they also don’t like too loose soil. Turning the soil into sand by mechanical processes is not a natural thing. Soil needs a little bit of tightness and plants are used to it and want it. No-till provides this in a balanced way.
If you have ever seen what hogs do to a lawn, it’s so much less damaging than tilling, yet it’s seen as something terrible.

KNOWING GOD'S WORK in these TIMES, in MOST PART, is KNOWING GOD INCARNATED in the LAST DAYS, what His main MINISTRY is, and WHAT He PURPOSES to do ON EARTH. I MENTIONED to My THOSE WHO SAID that GOD has COME to EARTH (in the last days) to GIVE an EXAMPLE BEFORE LEAVING. ☀️
How does God show this example? THROUGH SPEECH, THROUGH DOING and SPEAKING THROUGHOUT THE LAND. This is the WORK of GOD in the LAST DAYS; He only SPEAKS so that the EARTH becomes a WORLD of WORDS, so that every PERSON can be PROVIDED and ILLUMINATED by His WORD, and SO that the SPIRIT of MAN AWAKES and he is CLEAR ABOUT the VISIONS. ☀️
In the LAST DAYS, GOD INCARNATE CAME to EARTH MAINLY to SHARE His WORDS. When JESUS came He SPREADED the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, and FULFILLED the WORK of REDEMPTION through CRUCIFIXION. He ENDED the AGE OF LAW, and BROUGHT ALL the OLD THINGS to NOTHING. The COMING of JESUS ENDED the AGE OF LAW and USED the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
The COMING of GOD INCARNATED in the LAST DAYS BRINGS the END to the AGE OF GRACE. 🙏
He CAME MAINLY to SPEAK His WORDS, to USE WORDS to MAKE MAN PERFECT, to ILLUMINATE and ILLUMINATE MAN, and to REMOVE the PLACE of vague GOD WITHIN MAN'S HEART. ☀️ 🙏
This is NOT the STAGE of WORK that JESUS DID WHEN He came. WHEN JESUS CAME, He PERFORMED many MIRACLES, He HEALED and CAST OUT DEMONS, and He FULFILLED the REDEEMING WORK of CRUCIFIXION. ☀️
As a result, in His understanding, MAN BELIEVED that GOD should be like THIS. 😪
BECAUSE when JESUS came, He DID not REMOVE the IMAGE of the DARK GOD from the HEARTS of MAN; when He CAME, He was CRUCIFIED, He HEALED and CAST OUT DEMONS, and He SPREADED the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. On the ONE HAND, the INCARNATION of GOD in the TIME of the LAST DAYS removed the PLACE of the OBSCURE GOD in HUMAN UNDERSTANDINGS, that is WHY the IMAGE of the OBSCURE GOD in the HEARTS of MAN is no LONGER. THROUGH His ACTUAL WORDS and ACTUAL DEEDS, His ACTIONS THROUGHOUT the EARTH, and the unique real and normal work He accomplished with man, He CAUSES MAN to COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the REALITY of GOD, and REMOVES the LOCATION of the OBSCURE GOD in the HUMAN HEART. ☀️
On the other hand, GOD USES the WORDS spoken by His FLESH to MAKE MAN COMPLETE, and to FULFILL THINGS. This is the WORK of GOD that He WILL FULFILL in the LAST DAYS. 🙏
What you should know:
1. God's work is not supernatural, and you should not harbor notions about it.
2. You must understand the main work that will be accomplished by the coming of God incarnate at this time. 💐
He DID NOT COME to HEALING, or CAST OUT DEMONS, or to SHOW MIRACLES, and He DID NOT COME to SPREAD the GOSPEL of REPENTANCE, or WILLING the MAN of REDEMPTION. ☀️
That's BECAUSE JESUS has FULFILLED that WORK, and GOD DOESN'T REPEAT the SAME WORK. In the PRESENT, GOD has COME to BRING to the END of the AGE OF GRACE and REMOVE ALL the HABITS of the AGE OF GRACE. PRACTICAL GOD came to SHOW that He is REAL. 💐🙏
When Jesus came, He spoke few words, first of all, He showed miracles, showed signs and wonders, and healed and cast out demons, otherwise, He spoke prophecies to make people believe , and to help people see that He is truly God, and a gentle God who does not look at anyone. In the end, He completed the work of the crucifixion. ☀️
GOD does NOT CURRENTLY show SIGNS and WONDERS, nor does He HEAL and CAST out DEMONS. When JESUS came, the WORK He did REPRESENTED a PART of GOD, BUT in the PRESENT TIME GOD CAME to PERFORM the STAGE ofvthe WORK WHICH was APPROPRIATE, because GOD does NOT REPEATE the SAME work; He is the GOD who is ALWAYS NEW and NEVER OLD, and BECAUSE ALL you SEE NOW are the WORDS and WORKS of a PRACTICAL GOD. ☀️🙏

@@aquireeverything9382They actually improve the soil with their grazing and digging action.
Soil cannot turn into sand by mechanical process, they are not the same thing. Sand is finely ground rock, soil is decomposing organic matter. You may expose sand during the tilling process, but you are not turning soil into sand.
Edit: sand is also ground up seashells.
I also have a small garden, much smaller like this. I often plant trees and cover them with straw and grass, then chop them into small pieces for easy decomposition. From the initial dry ground, I kept doing that and gradually improved. Now I can comfortably plant trees because the soil is better. Reclamation takes a lot of time, luckily I was successful in reclamation.
The drone shots of the farm are a thing of beauty … so pretty …
I tilled 2 years of my new garden. The third year it turned to “concrete” between the heavy spring rains and tilling. I said enough! I researched and added woodchips to the walkways and perimeter and cut grass to the beds. 3 years later I can walk in every area of the garden in the spring and they’re aren’t any puddles. Droughts are less damaging as well. I liked it so much that I made a woodchip path from the house to the garden. The grass along the edges of the path is the healthiest in the yard.
Now I am raising rabbits in tractors that are moved every day in the orchard. It is amazing how green and lush that area has become! They are beneficial little mowers!
I'm too new to really have an opinion but in my new raised beds last year, I kept one of them planted with carrots through the winter/early spring and then pulled and immediately put my spring/summer plants in and that bed is doing phenomenally better than the other beds that were just mulched for winter. I'm totally sold on keeping plants in the soil at all times and only disturbing when absolutely necessary.

This is my first year experimenting with no-till, I have a bed that is tilled next to a no-till bed with the same crops growing. The weeds seem to be the same but the plants in the no-till are much larger, like almost twice as big! Thanks for your channel!
Charles Dowding does this every year & weighs his crops. He always finds the No Till more productive. Enjoy watching both channels.
The quality of my acre garden has enlightened me to the benefits of no till and mulch and wood chip paths. Soil life bloomed when chips were added 3 years ago. My weed pressure is still great, mainly because some places seeded out before I could take care of them. I'm slowing down these days, but I love to feed my family with wholesome food! And the neighborhood.
I love your videos and bought your book! So much info, that plays into my methods of gardening!! Thank you!!!
I often watch your videos, I find them very insightful and well made, I put up my first garden this year and it’s doing so well, all the guys like you and Charles dowding have done so much in spreading information on how to care for the soil and work with nature so it gives us abundance. Please keep it up. I’ve learned so much from all the videos of yours I see
A new experience, an innovative journey in agriculture
Thanks, my friend God bless you, and keep going on ❤️ 🙏. 2023 24 October
Very good video. Very useful for farmers. Agricultural greetings, greetings of success and health always.
👍👍👍
I'm really enjoying your videos. They are informative and a good length plus I get your humor. You have a great channel.
We have a no till garden and it is the best thing we ever did, not many weeds, not a lot of watering and it does pretty well. Thanks for all the videos.
I just got done reading your book that I got from your website. I must say it does a really great job of breaking down "no dig" principles...making them much less intimidating to put into practice. I'm only on a 9th of an acre but I can't wait for my cover crop seeds to come in the mail so I can start putting these principles into practice. Plus, it's just a flat out beautiful and well put together book.
I'm happy I bought it!
My love of no-till started after straw bale gardening... you just spread out the bales when they're spent and it just took off from there. Now I use a lot more living mulch like clovers, mâche, leaf lettuce, microgreens, etc. than I do wood chips or straw. I've also learned to really appreciate dynamic accumulator "weeds." I mean, between compost teas and instant mulch...how can this not be part of the overall plan? I now propagate weeds (dock, sorrel, clover, pigweed, etc.) near helpful locations (tea buckets/beds/trees) to keep them handy for chop and drop and the difference is night and day. It's so easy. The thing I struggle with is expanding and maintaining that balance. There is this need for continuous in-flow of organic products to build up soil/mulch/compost and sourcing it in the volumes I need for the rate of expansion I'm looking for is very difficult. And with an eye towards sustainable production on site... I'm getting creative.
Home gardeners considering no-till this video is spot on. While a garden is still work, being no-till for a decade has made growing my own veggies possible with rheumatoid arthritis.
When RA hit me May of 2011 my tilled garden became a jungle of weeds and cracked earth. No-till got me back to doing what I love.
I chose to stop tilling and switch to raised beds due to unpredictable flooding. My garden sits low and spring is usually pretty wet. My soil was clay-heavy, so I have also benefitted by adding a layer of winter mulch of mown and bagged leaves and grass clippings each fall. My beds actually hold a good bit of my old garden soil, which was built up with compost (plus it used to be cow pasture) and it holds a lot of moisture and provides a great rhizosphere for the bedded plants. It was the best decision I ever made.
After being introduced to no-til by you, so many things changed about our growing practices. First, our property is clay muck. Every time I tilled it got worse. After making permeant rows and stopping the tillage everything changed. We now have soil to actually grow food in. We mulch between the rows with wood shavings from the local saw mill and that make a huge difference in weed control and water retention. In between seasons we prep our rows and cover with silage tarp. When we pull it back we are almost ready to plant. Thanks for all the amazing knowledge and wisdom you share here.
Hello brother, beautiful vegetable garden 😍👍
Love your informative videos. I've sorta 'hacked' at gardening for 10 years, but purchased your 'Living Soil Handbook' this Spring and it has revolutionized my garden & my sanity! Heavy mulched this past early Spring for the first time after using a early Winter tarp, and no tilling at all this year! We've had long cycles of rain & no rain but my garden hasn't suffered as much through those cycles! And, after several inches of rain over the past 3 days, I've not missed a minute of being in and working in the garden..with no muddy shoes! Weed pressure is the least I've ever seen in my 10 short years of gardening, and harvests are as good as any of those years..very encouraging! But, still so much to learn (bed turnover makes me anxious!!) So, I've become an advocate, telling my story to everyone who'll listen!
💯 nailed it about The Bear!!! Love that show, also from restaurant industry and of course love me some Matty!!! ❤ y’all, thanks for all I have learned about soul management, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We have a huge seed bank to deal with after leaving the veggie garden go wild for two years due illness. We are getting there after just a couple of years by mulching the pathways in about 20cm/8 in of wood chip twice a year. We use aged broken down chip to dress the beds and shovel pathways onto beds before renewing deep chip. Soil quality is improving significantly. We have about 15-20 truck loads down the yard aging. Some we just had to pay for delivery, some totally free as they regularly trim trees overhanging our road for driver safety. Rather than an hour round trip to a green mulch drop off site where they have to pay, the contractors are more than happy to drive 5-10 mins and leave us the chip. I painted a sign for the roadside as contractors change so it’s not uncommon to have deliveries out of the blue. We normally have high rainfall (2.2m / 87 in but in 2022 plus Jan 2023 we had 3.8m / 150 in … neighbour less than 2km/1.2 miles had close to 6m/236 in) even though in a cool temperate region with occasional snow so mulch breaks down in months. This year though we’re heading for drought conditions so mulching will be critical.
We now definitely look forward to your Sunday Morning sharing of your No-Till Gardening/Farming knowledge. This is out first few months into trying the No-Till method of farming/gardening. Our soil is very heavy clay so the using a Broadfork is a definite Beeeccchh! You say you get on average about 50 inches of rain a year. The official count for our rainfall as of July 1st was 2.07 inches. Because of the open area that we live in we do have a lot of weed pressure. Always a fight with the weeds. Need I mention the nightmare and the never ending Bermuda Grass. Anyone out there have a safe and sane method and ridding oneself of the Bermuda Grass catastrophe!!! Well finally ordering your No-Till book. Can't wait to read it and trying to follow your N0-Till "standards". Keep up the good work and nerds like us will continue to follow you!
I too have a serious Bermuda grass problem. I hope we can get some helpful replies. Havagudun, another new gardener.
I've got experience with couch grass, only. What I noticed is that mulching with greens such as grass clippings ist not as helpful as using browns such as leaves or even ramiul wood chips. In a more fungally dominated soil, there is hardly any weed pressure and the soil is so soft that you can pull the grass easily.
I would solarize it with black plastic sheet mulch, then smother it with multiple layers of overlapping cardboard (clean with no glossy graphics) and weighed down with a good 3-6" of wood chips which you can get from chipdrop or your local arborists.
So my recommendation for any persistent weed like that is tarp for as long as you can, mulch as deep as you can, and pull every bit out the second you see it. Plant your most intensive crops in those areas so you will stay on top of the issue.
@@beateschluter664 This Spring we had thought about using the solarize system and opted not to. Now it looks like we will be trying newspapers and much and seeing how that works?
Out of all videos, I found this one the most reassuring. Spent the last two year's working 7 days a week, building and developing my garden. To be drought tolerant in Southern California. Only started flowing your canel about a year ago. And applying some of your techniques and knowledge has 100% helped. It's truly rewarding when your able to reap the and see the benefits of hard work in a healthy garden.

KNOWING GOD'S WORK in these TIMES, in MOST PART, is KNOWING GOD INCARNATED in the LAST DAYS, what His main MINISTRY is, and WHAT He PURPOSES to do ON EARTH. I MENTIONED to My THOSE WHO SAID that GOD has COME to EARTH (in the last days) to GIVE an EXAMPLE BEFORE LEAVING. ☀️
How does God show this example? THROUGH SPEECH, THROUGH DOING and SPEAKING THROUGHOUT THE LAND. This is the WORK of GOD in the LAST DAYS; He only SPEAKS so that the EARTH becomes a WORLD of WORDS, so that every PERSON can be PROVIDED and ILLUMINATED by His WORD, and SO that the SPIRIT of MAN AWAKES and he is CLEAR ABOUT the VISIONS. ☀️
In the LAST DAYS, GOD INCARNATE CAME to EARTH MAINLY to SHARE His WORDS. When JESUS came He SPREADED the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, and FULFILLED the WORK of REDEMPTION through CRUCIFIXION. He ENDED the AGE OF LAW, and BROUGHT ALL the OLD THINGS to NOTHING. The COMING of JESUS ENDED the AGE OF LAW and USED the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
The COMING of GOD INCARNATED in the LAST DAYS BRINGS the END to the AGE OF GRACE. 🙏
He CAME MAINLY to SPEAK His WORDS, to USE WORDS to MAKE MAN PERFECT, to ILLUMINATE and ILLUMINATE MAN, and to REMOVE the PLACE of vague GOD WITHIN MAN'S HEART. ☀️ 🙏
This is NOT the STAGE of WORK that JESUS DID WHEN He came. WHEN JESUS CAME, He PERFORMED many MIRACLES, He HEALED and CAST OUT DEMONS, and He FULFILLED the REDEEMING WORK of CRUCIFIXION. ☀️
As a result, in His understanding, MAN BELIEVED that GOD should be like THIS. 😪
BECAUSE when JESUS came, He DID not REMOVE the IMAGE of the DARK GOD from the HEARTS of MAN; when He CAME, He was CRUCIFIED, He HEALED and CAST OUT DEMONS, and He SPREADED the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. On the ONE HAND, the INCARNATION of GOD in the TIME of the LAST DAYS removed the PLACE of the OBSCURE GOD in HUMAN UNDERSTANDINGS, that is WHY the IMAGE of the OBSCURE GOD in the HEARTS of MAN is no LONGER. THROUGH His ACTUAL WORDS and ACTUAL DEEDS, His ACTIONS THROUGHOUT the EARTH, and the unique real and normal work He accomplished with man, He CAUSES MAN to COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the REALITY of GOD, and REMOVES the LOCATION of the OBSCURE GOD in the HUMAN HEART. ☀️
On the other hand, GOD USES the WORDS spoken by His FLESH to MAKE MAN COMPLETE, and to FULFILL THINGS. This is the WORK of GOD that He WILL FULFILL in the LAST DAYS. 🙏
What you should know:
1. God's work is not supernatural, and you should not harbor notions about it.
2. You must understand the main work that will be accomplished by the coming of God incarnate at this time. 💐
He DID NOT COME to HEALING, or CAST OUT DEMONS, or to SHOW MIRACLES, and He DID NOT COME to SPREAD the GOSPEL of REPENTANCE, or WILLING the MAN of REDEMPTION. ☀️
That's BECAUSE JESUS has FULFILLED that WORK, and GOD DOESN'T REPEAT the SAME WORK. In the PRESENT, GOD has COME to BRING to the END of the AGE OF GRACE and REMOVE ALL the HABITS of the AGE OF GRACE. PRACTICAL GOD came to SHOW that He is REAL. 💐🙏
When Jesus came, He spoke few words, first of all, He showed miracles, showed signs and wonders, and healed and cast out demons, otherwise, He spoke prophecies to make people believe , and to help people see that He is truly God, and a gentle God who does not look at anyone. In the end, He completed the work of the crucifixion. ☀️
GOD does NOT CURRENTLY show SIGNS and WONDERS, nor does He HEAL and CAST out DEMONS. When JESUS came, the WORK He did REPRESENTED a PART of GOD, BUT in the PRESENT TIME GOD CAME to PERFORM the STAGE ofvthe WORK WHICH was APPROPRIATE, because GOD does NOT REPEATE the SAME work; He is the GOD who is ALWAYS NEW and NEVER OLD, and BECAUSE ALL you SEE NOW are the WORDS and WORKS of a PRACTICAL GOD. ☀️🙏

Another great video jammed pack of knowledge. I love starting my Sunday morning with a coffee and a lesson from my favourite farmer. Such an inspiration
Thanks! Loving these videos.
Amazing, thank you!
Try this method for half your garden. If you like it after a few seasons, expand.
Don't forget piles of mulch! I have weeds but I consider it free bio-mass and use it for composting and also for lining beds and paths to stop future weeds and enrich soil.
Once you get going and understand what's happening it's a pleasure to work with Mom-earth rather than doing other things.
Fun fact, plants reabsorb up to 90% of their exudates! I learned that from Matt Powers: The Permaculture Student. I started off as a container gardener and quickly learned the power of mulch to prevent pots from drying out too quickly in our 100 degrees F plus California summers. Then later learned about fungal networks and all the microlife doing so much work for free and realized it's best to just mimic nature and let them do their thing... I'll till in amendments once to kickstart crappy soil but after it's mulched no more.
Very impressive pictures of your farm!!! I got to be patient over the years, and keep on with mulching and sowing green manures to see similar results as to yours.
I totally concur with the (lack of) weeding and the need for less irrigation, which in our sandy soil is critical. You are so enjoyable and educational, Jesse! Thank you so much!
😊
My garden has improved due to using grass mulch from my yard. less weeds and less watering. Adding compost from my piles has greatly improved the soil over last few years.
You haven't had any problems with the grass mulch seeding the weeds?
@@leig9770 if you mulch correctly the seed will not sprout
I’m a new subscriber and this is my first year gardening in 8b. We have had a lot of learning experience this first year. What I didn’t expect were the wide variety of grasshoppers in our area. They really did a number on our garden and on many of the trees my hubby planted.
I really like this no till gardening as I only dug rows with my shovel and turned the piles over and added peet moss and chicky poo for water retention and fertilizer when planting seeds or starter. It was not a good idea doing it that way as the weeds were besties with all the plants. I should have cleared the entire area first.
Thanks for your channel and the effort you put out for free.
Inspiring to see and hear. I am coming from a background managing a tillage farm, which had its advantages, sure, but what was hardest was the lack of longevity when things are tillage based. The annual 'reset button' was demoralizing. Starting up no-till production on our new farm after years of experimenting on a home scale with deep compost systems and it is a joy to work in the garden.
This is so cool! Until I heard about no-till from Charles Dowding, the concept was completely foreign. I'm so happy for getting to know more about it since this style of gardening is better for my health. You sum things up perfectly.
I also found out about No Till from Charles Dowding but thru my son who lives in Portland, Oregon. It has allowed me to continue gardening post stroke. I'm now growing items I only dreamed about.
@@lolaseymour1532 How wonderful! I had a neck injury that got operated on years ago which makes heavy work harder. No-till has more advantages than one would think at first glance :D
tanah yang baik adalah tanah yang banyak mengandung unsur hara ,bukan masalah tanah itu gembut atau padat, dan penting menjaga ph tanah biar tetap seimbang.kerja bagus pak 👍👍

Decrease in mud has been my favorite benefit of no till and mulching!
I’m also growing in Kentucky, near Taylorsville. Just bought your book to help me along my no till journey. It’s been 1 year since we’ve started our flower farm, and since we’ve been using no till farming methods.
I’m excited to get your book and start improving my systems!
❤😊
100% can confirm everything in the video. Same happened on my wood chip mulch converted back and front yards. No slug and snail pressure. With my mulch it’s pill bugs. It took a while but the birds discovered this bountiful supply of land shrimp and are now flicking over the chips with their beaks and feasting on them. Just harvested a bunch of melons. I never watered them once except when I transplanted them for the first few days. Now I’ve moved on from personal sized melons to watermelons. So far they are growing fruit everywhere. Let’s see if they can support watermelon to fruition with no watering outside of the rain the mulch has soaked up and the ground it has protected from damaging direct sunlight.
Land shrimp 🤣 I always call shrimp "bugs-o-the-sea"
Before I was out there chopping weeds all the time. Better than the gym. Now spot hoeing and observing if weeds there are just part of the diverse cover crop or need to get taken out.
Total game changer. I'm selling my tiller because i never use it. Weeds still a challenge but much easier to pull out when they're forced to come up through a layer of wood chips or straw.
Love no till. I expanded my garden in the fall and did till because the soil was so compacted. Never again. The weed pressure on that area is immense compared to every where else in my gardens. In the future I will broad fork and just be patient for the soil life to break up the compaction.
Yes, patience is so important. Even though I'm eager to expand my garden, I'm holding off on planting in new areas for a year or two to give myself time to work through the compaction slowly with forking, mulching, and cover cropping. You definitely have to plan way ahead!
Your cat popping up to say hello was the cutest thing ever ❤ Hope you and they are still doing well
I started no till after seeing the no dig guy.
I'm moving on from a small garden towards a market garden. No till has done wonders for me here in qld Australia.
I've looked at permaculture, no dig and hugèkulture. The latter being mainly an experiment. Pumpkin suits it well.
Weeds are a lot less for sure. When I do neglect an area and weeds invade I just mow em..pull bad one's.. then start again with cardboard and compost.
Thanks for the compost information. I have now started honing in on food type compost. I use cut Rhodes grass as mulch along with dried grass. Those two with lots of cow manure are a great basis for compost. I was making various teas. But figured it's best to make compost that feeds the soil. My soil is very sandy. Without compost and mulch its hard to keep it moist. Water is a premium resource now. In the future it will be a precious commodity.
Love your vids. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your beautiful video's.
it just made it possible to garden, having a bedrock at just 10 inches here, and having great produce! with Natural lawn clippings and compost only, no dig ever growing on top of grasses, loosing the soil just with my pitchfork.
I just bought 6 acres of clay soil in central New York! Nothing but rocks and hard soil when dry and slippery mud when wet. 12:42 I started out with a 50 x 50 garden. Will probably start no tiii next year. Nothing thrives in the soil except weeds. I was never interested in soil signs until seeing your progress.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and farm with us. I am also in Kentucky. I am out of farming right now but I'll get back on my feet and get back into it again!
It’s made gardening so much easier!
I have a large no-till garden mostly in raised beds. I do one big weeding after I get all my plants in in the spring and early summer and mulch as I go. Then I do one big clearing of weeds later in the fall when I wrap up the garden and add compost. Mulch it all over one more time and it sits from November to March here in the frigid frozen north of MN. :)
Thanks for this! Lots of good information. I can't bear to till my garden because the mulches that I put down are necessary with the Florida heat, to protect the plant roots from excessive heat and drying, feeds the worm that are within the first foot of soil, and I'm not wanting to pull the mulch aside to turn the soil and kill the worms, I could go on. I just keep adding more mulch to the top of it. Now I may pull the mulch aside to do top dressing of slow release fertilizers and then replace it. Other than this, watering and liquid fertilizers require not much disturbance of the top mulching layer. Keeping up with adding more mulch layers due to heavy rains or just plain breakdown quicker in the summer is my only issue. Pest pressure, like flea beetles in early Spring, and the leaf miners, I have blamed on getting these in the mulch I buy. Working on that remedy now.
Those are perennially difficult no matter the system. Covering with insect protection (exclusion) is generally the best approach.
After 30 years of composting for mulching my annuals I stumbled on a quicker, easier, richer mulch: SHREDDED LEAVES. My neighbors trees dropped too many leaves for her to manage in the fall so I volunteered to "clean up". I bought an electric leaf vac/shredder, 15-1. It came with a canvas bag which I slung over my shoulder, requiring frequent stops to empty. (This would have gone much quicker if I had help from someone pushing a large cart to trap the mulch.) I put the mulch in my 140 sq. foot, raised bed. It slowly, over a few winter months, broke down, leaving dark soil. I will NEVER compost again. Remember: Keep a cover crop, even if it's just weeds. Why? Building soil is done by ROOTS IN THE GROUND. Observe nature, learn, follow. Don't make work by fighting nature or following traditional farming/gardening, e.g., turning over the soil. Does nature plow? Hell no!
I have the garden, the neighbor has the trees. I also chop leaves with the blower. With the bag on the mower I lower the blade and grind up straw for mulch. Grass too.
Shredded leaves are amazing. They are so helpful in amending clay soil. I have an electric leaf vac/shredder as well. We got an attachment that sends the leaves from the shredder into a large trash can, but it can be a pain and sometimes I go back to using the canvas bag.
Lol😂 about anxiety inducing shows! And love to hear that you are out playing with your kids
I've been practicing no till for a few years now in my garden and notice all the benefits you mentioned. Wish I would have learned this technique a long time ago!
Love this video!
You are doing great sir to cope with most theratable thing I. e. climate change by conserving soil and reduce pesticides application
the tillage always grows rocks too!
I have had the best success with 4 to 5 layers of newsprint covered with 4 inches ground leaves. Sometimes I use cardboard over the stubborn areas.
Another great video. You are awesome. Love the cat
In Kansas we had a cool spring. Germinating seeds in the ground was very difficult. June first are soil temperature under mulch was 60 degrees, even the potatoes were held back. The worked ground warmed up much faster so nitrogen wasn't a big problem
Great video Jesse. We are in our 3rd year and started off no-till but we built in 3 stages. We are overwhelmed with weeds even after harping over winter. We don’t have cover in the aisles yet though. We are in PNW so slugs are a problem in spring and fall so we were hesitant to put in wood chips and we also have wireworm because we built our farm on a grass field so live aisles would not work. We are going to get wood chips now because the weeds are making us not love this job right now. This helped!
Hang in there. Things WILL get better!!
Thank you for clarifyring the issues with hydrophobic compost, i was already suspecting this was an issue with the compost i currently use, but you have described my beet issue this year (germination yes, getting down roots no) spot on. Great vid as usual. Greet the kittycat please.
I have been "attempting" a light version of no-till at my garden plot for about the last 2-3 years, two miles from the coast in Orange County. I will admit, I usually dont cut at the roots and just pull it up unless its something thick like a cabbage. I will mess with about the top 2" max of soil to help shape burms to hold water to help conserve and make things neater. I could definitely have composted more heavily, and I have admittedly only mulched the spaces in between rows once due to cost. Generally I will compost a row once or twice a year, once following the last harvest of winter crops like onions, cabbage, broccoli and lettuce have been pulled and new spring plants have settled in, and then again after pulling those summer plants and putting in a fall crop.
I can't say I've noticed a considerable change in my soil health besides having more worms, and the clay kinda just eats up whatever I put on top of it and I'm definitely losing soil to erosion. I also have a pretty bad nematode problem that has never really been dealth with, and I am basically planting the whole garden with marigolds to try to finally fight them. Weeds have been slightly less of an issue but because of my surroundings and neighbors it will always be a problem.
Part of the reason I'm not throwing tons of money at improving the soil is becuase I am renting the space, but I'm wondering if what I'm doing is making any difference at all??
Thanks for another great video, I love learning about soil health, even find some of the dad jokes funny.
I am in my second year growing, in London, the original one 😉, only have a small raised bed, dozen potato buckets and general pots for tomatoes, peas and beans etc.
A few fruit bushes around the edges.
The lack of weeds in the raised bed is astonishing, i follow Charles Dowding, started with cardboard to kill the grass and weeds.
Last year hardly any weeds, got wiped out by aphids and i don't know what,end of the year, clear bed.
I filled with old manure compost from the garden centre originally, about 6/8" deep, rotted down about 3-4" over the year.
Redid the cardboard, refilled with more organic compost from the garden centre beginning of the year.........
Pulled my first weed today, i use straw mulch too.
No dig is the way forward, I have a compost bin and use my own when possible, sure you know how slow it is over winter.
Oh i noticed something amazing today, was planting some lettuce starts in the raised bed, watered it (its compost, still 6"deep with mulch), watered them in, generously as always. Worms galore, popping up all around it.
Planted some comfrey in the borders(just standard soil), im struggling to dig it, looks dry, soak for ages to loosen up, no worms!
I also use molasses on the bed, maybe they all live there now 😂
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
The Bear! "The first bite of a donut brings me much joy. Two bites bring sadness" lol. Such a good show.
@notillgrowers: Advice for no-till (regenerative organic) vegetable growing in harsh climates (hot, dry), no or very limited mulch, compost material & finances available; have to grow on site, eg green manure cover crops (not tilled in; eg crimp-terminate).
Appreciate your recommendations.
Including perhaps pointing to growers with relevant knowledge & experience of growing with such conditions to share on this; or books or YT channels.
Thank you for really practical, educational and inspiring content.
We started our garden last summer, and I had to till up the ground because it was covered in grass. I put down a 2-3" layer of compost and I didn't have the cardboard needed to suppress weeds. By the end of last summer, we basically just gave up weeding and the garden got taken over. This spring, we properly weeded once at the beginning of the year, I put down a ton of wood chips in the walkways and was able to get 5-6" of compost in the beds. Weeds have been much, much more manageable. We just went through a crazy month or so where I was basically unable to weed, and when I went out to weed for the first time in a while, it took me maybe 20 minutes to get the garden back to an acceptable state.
What do you think is the limiting factor in spreading this technique to more industrialized farming? I always have trouble getting the compost I need, but I know the folks at Assawaga are able to get by with a really very small compost operation, for the size of their garden. I ask, because, while this is awesome, the average person just cannot afford the prices at my local farmer's markets. I was watching you hand plant those lettuces in the video and could almost hear the cash register going off.
Thanks for the weekly chat. Im still tilling for now but its not they forever plan.
We converted our main garden to no-till roughly three years ago. The weed pressure is definitely lower, the soil quality is much better. I do have two other garden plots that I still till and the weed pressure is high.
Living 40 years on the southernmost edge of North America I have a front row seat to climate change. Growing food each year is becoming such a challenge as to make it almost impossible. I have concluded that I cannot grow very far into the spring even anymore due to drought and heat. Most of my growing must be done in the late fall and winter which also has its problems. Just thinking I should’ve moved north already cause it’s getting too hard to live here at all. Scary and dark times we are living through
And I fear for our children. People like you are to be commended for your contributions to the planet.
Heard of Agro farms investment? You can benefit from there too
The Bear/Hulu - awesome reference!! 😜 And, nope, that's not the only thing I grabbed from this video. Great information that's thoughtful and useful - even for a lil backyard gardener like me. Thank you!
Soil life precums at 2:13. watched it twice, heard it twice😅
What are your working solutions of prevent fungal infections to plants from woodchips and leaf mulches?
I am gardening in the Highlands of Scotland . I can get free spent grains from the local brewery. What is your opinion of the usefulness of this waste product? I have put some over my empty vegetable beds today.
I love your channel though our weather is very different. You are very informative - no waffling, straight to the point.
Thank you so much for the information and knowledge
the one weed i did not expect to love my no till garden was dock i swear i spend as much time attacking dock now as i did with all my other weeds combind, i know the overall weed pressure is down but my god does that stuff love my garden
No till has many advantages. It works great in high rainfall environments.
In Arid climates, however, It isn't so effective. Some tillage must occur, plus calcium levels be adjusted to deal with excesses of Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium.
Ever since reading "Gaia's Garden" and discovering Charles Dowding, we've been all permaculture and no-till. It's changed the way I thought of gardening/small scale farming completely. From one nerd to another, thank you for all the content and dad jokes.
I'm semi no-till (I don't have a working tiller..lol). I use a shovel, broadfork, hoe and rake. I use a lot of wood chips for mulch mostly in my walk ways and as they break down they a lot of structure and nutrients to my soil.
We switch to no-till with our pumpkins and squash field on a rolled rye mulch last year. What a gain of time compared to tilled way, we had two field to appreciated the difference in term of weed control. For sure no till field required way less time than tilled one and the yield was good, little bit less faster but more healty harvested fruits.
I'm prepping to go no till in my very tiny 15x15 foot plot. This is year 1, I tilled up the ground due to compaction and heavy weeds, ive been spending basically every day hoeing around trying to weed everything out.. After this season, I'm going to lay fabric down to suppress the weeds in the area, I have it bordered so nothing will grow into the plot, then I'm going to pull up the fabric and amend the soil before laying down straw mulch and beginning the no till process. not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but gotta start somewhere.
That sounds like a totally fine way to start 👍
I put down fabric 2nd year of no till in a similarly sized garden (fabric is top layer, nothing on top). Burned some holes to plant into and best decision ever. Weeding is like 5 minutes every 2-4 weeks mainly due to weed pressure on the perimeter. I also keep trellises and drip tape for irrigation setup. My time is spent starting seeds, planting, trellising/pruning and harvesting! If you are lazy and don't care how it looks, consider not removing the fabric.
Thanks for the video. Excited to be on the journey. Definitely the first couple years are hard as we figure out what our plants need and realize that they are growing a bit slower because of the high carbon in our compost. Overall though, once they start to take off they really do look great.
Just ordered your book! 🎉Sunday rambling
🙌
I agree no till is the way to go! I could not deal with the weeds otherwise.
Thank you explains a lot
Like you video. I may try this on my front yard.

With all the time saved on weeding, you could start growing mushrooms on the hay to get food from your compost while you get food from your compost.
Hasnt changed us yet but Ground Effect Farms is one maybey two years out from no till. I could make clay pots out of our growing areas. We are slowly turning it into soil and we have great life under the soil which is awesome.
I use no-till practices on some parts of our growing areas, not on others. The results are mixed: There where I have to fight Johnson grass, no-till doesn't seem to work, that plant breaks through every mulch, no matter how thick. Since I work the farm with a team of draft horses, which I enjoy, I won't go no-till everywhere.
I have used hay mulch this year and have had very limited weed issue. I can spend that time not weeding to do other things.
Love the music! Thank you!
I have question about the hay you put down on the rows to keep them covered. I understand why but when you are ready to plant do you plant with the straw there or do you remove it? I am learning this year with two rows of no dig/till, I also have a ton of grow bags because for years I was fighting weeds and couldn’t take it anymore. I was so happy to find your channel along with Charles Dowding and have books from both of you.
As a chef I so agree on the anxiety inducing ticket machine!
I find johnson grass likes grassy mulches like hay more than compost. It may be a matter of matching the mulch to the issue. It's a weed that really needs a lot of attention and the roots cannot be broken up or the issue multiplies. I also find that any mulches make it easier to pull out.
