- Three ways to start a low/no-till garden on a lawn with a demonstration of a low-cost technique to remove the grass. I see this question asked all the time, “I want to start a garden but two loads of compost are out of my budget. One method is to pile it deep and pray the grass does not retake the area. Buying compost gets expensive when you need a minimum of 6” of compost or the weeds will come right up. As a homestead gardener keeping cost down is very important, also not having to fight weeds later.
The pile deep method is a little better when a layer of cardboard is used to cover the grass. In the south Bermuda grass will come through cardboard. Let’s tackle the wiregrass before all the work goes in the garden. You can start with a good foundation and not break the bank using the Well-Watered Garden approach. The WWG has been used all over the world as a demonstration of how to work with nature, increase production, and be good stewards of God's creation.
Step-by-step instructions on the Well-Watered Garden.

The Foundations for Farming story is very similar to the Back to Eden Gardening message. From the other side of the world, a farmer has spiritual reckoning and repents. This works in a backyard garden, urban garden, just like it works in a community in rural Africa. Let's learn to grow food together.
God is so good! Thank you for the video
Thanks for taking the time to make this great video
You’re welcome. I have more videos in the pipeline, but this season in crazy busy.
Outstanding! Sweet. So excited and appreciate your time to make video:)) Subscriber
Cool thanks. Would you have another garden question to cover?
I tried it today, it worked but the handle was short, i will replace it with long handle and will complete job.
Ah shucks. I’m ordering another and will have a full long handle too.
What fencing is that!?
Where are you located at? What state? I love your joy.
We are in Georgia
The location is in the first 5 seconds of the video on his logo. 🫣😆
Haha weeds will grow through concrete here "up north". 😁
That makes pulling them
A real bear. Add a month to each side of the season and see what they do.
These are great tips. I am going to add a grub hoe to my equipment list, thank you!
Did you get that grub hoe? I have been using it for every digging project.
I love when people talk about emulating the forest biome in their garden. That only makes sense if you are growing native trees and underbrush. Unfortunately, our garden plants aren't trees and underbrush, so they aren't self sustaining for any long period of time. We can learn from the forest floor and there's a lot of great things to take away from it, but you can't emulate it in your garden. Figure that out and your will be the first trillionaire.
wow you're a genius
@@pbjfarms9349 elaborate? I assume that, since everything I said is accurate, and you don't appear to understand it, that you are sincerely calling me a genius, right? If not, and you are trying to be sarcastic, please do explain what is wrong with my position? I'd love to read a logical breakdown of why I'm wrong. Or, you could say "I know you are but what am I," and hope that you have enough uneducated viewers that a significant number will "be all like ohhhh snap. he dun burned him." I doubt it though. You have very few viewers and only a tiny portion of them will be that slow. So, yeah, educate me please. I'm ready.
I’d like to know where I can purchase that fencing
I buy polybraid not polywire from Powerflex.
Do you have a link to the 60 day compost?
Here is a link to the Foundations for Farming method. Noah Sanders also has a video at the Redeeming the Dirt Academy web page.
