Thanks so much George 🙏 I’ve really been meaning to make the second half of this video! The whole thing is mind blowing! Hopefully I’ll be anytime put it out soon!
I was just reading about this a month ago! Thank you for the video, Mike. I look forward to seeing how it turns out and if the way you are incorporating it no-till will have a positive effect.
Heck yeah! I’ve been wanting to put together the rest of this video! I recorded everything! Grafted tomatoes are thriving! I record content everyday. But just need time to get it all edited into videos. Part 2 will be coming soon and it’s going to be pretty cool! But specifically in this tunnel I had root knot nematodes. And the mustard suppress’ them. Thanks so much watching!
Great video! I didn’t realize mustard biofumigation can help suppress weed seeds in the soil. I wonder if I can add the mustard to my compost bin to suppress the germination of weed seeds as well as pests and pathogens. I can usually get my compost hot enough to kill weed seeds during summer but in the winter not so much, so I might have to add some mustard plants to my compost bin next winter to suppress some weed seeds!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it! It’s a good idea! Probably hard to find any research on that specifically, I think you should try it! Lots of people grow cover crops just for compost. Thanks again for commenting!
I just composted a whole deer in 3 weeks! Hopefully I'll make a video about it soon. But theres something simple I've done to heat up my piles... One of the other vendors at the farmers market grows Oyster Mushrooms. And they grow them in these compressed blocks. I'm not even exactly sure what's in it. But it's just dried and shredded plant material basically. Then after they grow mushrooms in it, it's trash. So I brought my trailer over there and he filled it up with his spent blocks. And I mixed that with a dump truck full of wood chips and some plant material from my garden. Man! that thing got smoking hot. like 160 and stayed there for 3 weeks. Then I turned the pile... I figured it would be stinky and there would at least be a skull. There was nothing but a few patches of hair... I turned it again today and nothing. All the wood chips are nearly composted. And all this in the middle of winter... If you know anyone who grows mushrooms you should toss some of that in your compost. That'll heat it up!
Mighty mustard is specifically bred to be higher in glucosinolates. They say it’s not edible…. It’s just super spicy. If you’re going to do it, I would just use the mighty mustard. It’s an awful lot of work/effort to go through to not have the intended outcome. I personally would not risk using any mustard seed.
Subbed, we are in chatt and love learning about new farming methods
Awesome! Thank you 🙏
Thanks!

I’d liketo hear about the pest and disease you are fighting. Or are you doing prevention ?

I noticed the ™️ by the name ‘Mighty Mustard’. Will any mustard do or is it just this hybrid that works?
