I had not heard of no dig gardens until this week. I’m 60 years old. What you say makes so much sense. I’m setting my garden up as a no dig garden this years. Thank you young man. This is very exciting to me.
How did it go?
Yeah. How did it go?
Permaculture
@@przybyla420 I worry for her with Covid and everything God knows if she ever got to start her No Dig.
@walt czarman I don't see why not
"We try to keep alive things wanting to die and kill things that are trying to live." Very profound observation Richard. Great video as always.
Why do you pinch the tops of the tomatoes and when do you do it
@@piotree53 In the autumn it becomes too dark and cold for the tomatoes, it is better to top the plants so the energy goes to the tomatoes that can mature.
Totally agree. We have the weirdest relationship with life and death and so many never want to talk about it even when there is a need.
OMG! So scary, as i read this comment Richard said it in the video...
ILL GUARUNTEE HE DIDNT COME UP WITH THAT ON HIS OWN
THAT WAS FORCE FED TO HIM BY SOME LIBERAL ARTS TEACHER HI ON POT
Small decentralized farming will keep us all alive when the global financial system collapses. Our local grocery store now has a section for local organic produce so that's all we buy. Nice work.
How do you figure that, think outside the box for once in your life!

I've noticed this year vegetables in your usual chain stores are shit, where as stores that are nearby and provide local small farm produce is much better quality.. I just hope the smaller farmers ar being properly compensated.
Gold Hunter most of those grocery stores are only saying the produce in those sections is from local farms but in reality it’s the same stuff in the other produce section but at twice the cost! The local grocery stores in my area do the same thing but won’t buy produce from the local farmers and we have a relative that works there and they have disclosed what they actually do and they are lying to everyone and raking in your money and everyone is falling for it!!
The only place you can get local organic produce and know that it truly is local organic produce is by driving straight to the farm and deal with the farmer directly. If you don’t do that then you deserve the pesticide ridden junk from Mexico, sorry.
@@holynickskates They are not, but they enjoy what they do and live a meaningful life. How many humans can say that nowadays?
This has to be one of the most enlightened farmers that I've ever encountered. His philosophy on life, disease and our desire to offset natures order instead of harnessing it is astounding in its simplicity.
and yet his intro has plucking dead chickens and animal agriculture. Is that the grand plan? we are above all other animals and their pain and fear?
@@cristinad5398 Is that really all you gleaned from this video?
@@cristinad5398 they sustainably raise animals too
@@cristinad5398 what a moronic thing to say after watching one of the most sensible videos on you tube
@@cristinad5398 Yes, we are above the animals! If you do not understand that, I and the rest of the world pitties you!
I came for the farming tips, but stayed for the philosophy.
Me too
I came for the FREE WEED but then I realised I just read it wrong.
@@Galv140577 LOL
Start it now or never
Right? I was like, damn....
I get it when he says he and his wife are always disappointed when eating out. You can't get the same quality and freshness of your home farm produce. Very inspirational video.
Same here. I've almost quit eating out in restaurants entirely, because it just gets more disappointing in comparison. It can't compare.
This year I converted my garden to no till and a few raised beds. I'm 68 and have moved 12 tons of compost, wood mulch, and manure all by hand shoveling. It's looking fabulous but still have more to do. Incorporating vertical growing and companion planting. Your market garden is a master piece! Your gardening philosophy is what I am trying to accomplish. I have been tilling for years. NO MORE TILLING. I HAVE UNLIMITED FREE MULCH, LEAF COMPOST, AND HORSE MANURE.
JUST HAVE TO DO A LOT OF SHOVELING! Really enjoyed your vision and video 👍.
Witness 144 , I converted to no till 5 years ago , never looked back.
Is there a good video on how to get started?
@@thelister4910 I have watched several different videos on no till Gardening most impressive was BACK TO EDEN GARDEN there are several other videos also. To get started just figure on lots of material. I used approximately 45 cubic yards that equals about 90 tons of compost, manu, and wood mulch. This covered 3,200 sf of garden. I used a ratio of 60 percent leaf Compost to 40 percent horse manure in rows 24" wide about 48" apart 8" deep. Between the rows was 100 percent wood Mulch about 24" wide 8" deep. We're harvesting every day now and I have had a bumper crop on everything so far with very few weeds. Our garden includes arched cattle panels for tomatoes cucumbers and beans. Also 4 large raised beds. We have harvested 350 onions 140 lb potatoes, 125 quarts of green beans, over 500 cucumbers, 40 quarts of tomatoes, and still Canning more, 200 lb of zucchini, 40 lb of carrots, 30 pints of beets, yet to harvest about 60 winter squash and about 150 lb of sweet potatoes. Our first sweet corn crop yeilded 275 ears the second one is about ready to pick. A separate garden tilled plot.
It's been a great success with the new NO TILL GARDEN. It took me about 2 months to hand shovel the new garden. I would do it again.but glad I don't have to. I will be amending the soil each year with worm castings, and Compost and wood mulch. Good luck 👍 and happy Gardening
@@witness1449 Thanks for that info, but that's a LOT more compost than I thought. I'm hoping maybe I can just do one or two 50 ft raised beds first to see how it goes.
@Jeffrey Tham Following up on the new NO TILL GARDEN.
What a unbelievable year. We're not done yet but this is some of our harvest. 340 onions over 500 cucumbers, canned 45 quarts of pickles, 120 qts green beans, 36 qts of potatoes and 70 lbs for winter, about 200 summer squash and 50 winter squash canned tomatoes, sauce, juice, salsa, 150 total 36 pints of picked beets, 275 ears of sweet corn, picking 200 more in 2 days. The corn was a separate garden. Now picking our fall green beans, probably another 50 quarts. Still have to harvest our bumper crop of sweet potatoes. Estimating about 200 lbs based on my test digs.
Not bad for a new 3200 sf garden.
My carrots were my only failure. 300 carrots with no flavor. Gonna have to work on that for next year.
Happy Gardening Jeffrey
As someone who worked hard for a degree in biology... Bravo! You hit the nail on the head. Especially when discussing life, death, and intention. You have a wonderful mind.
I have a 10M x 10M in my yard I have grown for 2 years and from the start my motivating focus was my extreme dislike of weeding. I moved into a 6 year old home with a back yard that the previous owner had allowed to become extremely weedy which I decided to turn into garden. Knowing full well the weeds would sprout back up if I tilled it, I covered the prospective garden with heavy cardboard overplayed thickly with dead leaves. In Spring I had a layer of fresh compost to plant in. To avoid weeds invading, I covered planted areas with paper that is just heavy enough to survive the summer; thereby avoiding tilling and allowing weeds a foothold. In the meantime, I composted everything I could get my hands on and began raising compost worms in bins by feeding them household food waste. I applied a layer of compost and vermicompost mix and it's coming along quite well in its second season. So I discovered the benefits of no- till almost accidentally through my dislike of weeding and I just feel better and better about it as I listen to everything Richard has to say.
Good for you. It sounds like you're having a lot of fun. I have had to grow in pots too many trees at my house so I don't get a lot of weeds, but I helped my sister in law with her garden. So much work the old fashioned way, constant weed pulling, or watering. I hate those weeds also!! Started to research the different methods last year and my sister in law is giving me space to grow at her house. She will love this process so much healthier and less work. This channel pops up and I see what's possible for me on a very small scale, so exciting, can't wait to get my hands dirty. LOL, now if it would only stop raining.
“Not a good day to be a lettuce”....
loved that!
In the abundance of the garden, he spots a weed the size of a quarter! This man is a wizard!
THAT is a real farmer. Not these Ag Crooks that the U.S. food supply is full of, who claim they can't do their "work" without illegal foreigners. And he's a scientist, too. And philosopher.
Richard you are the by far the most articulate person who explains no dig on you tube that i've seen so far, cheers for video, awesome farm btw :)
I must compliment you on the neatest , healthy, and most organized gardens! So many articles/gardens I see on this subject are so messy. Thank you!
This is one of the cleanest gardens i have ever seen !
no, it's covered in plastic microfibers from those sheets he uses
disgusting!
I have an allotment here in the south of England and watching your video has inspired me to ditch traditional methods and focus on no dig.
I'm glad to have found your channel, you are inspirational!
My mind broke when I saw the flower cluster from those tomatoes! Well done.
Yea me also wow
I absolutely love my no dig garden. My partner is old school and completely poo pooed it, so when he went away for the weekend i purchased extra compost and laid all my cardbord and compost when he was away. Result= ive weeded twice, high yield peas , beans and tomatoes. Just fab.
THIS IS REALLY STRAIGHT FORWARD, WE ARE WITH YOU ,WE CAN'T EAT OUT EITHER AS EVERYTHING AT HOME IS SUPERIOR QUALITY. THANK YOU.
I'm in love and jealous of this garden😍 Clean, productive, and delicious looking!! 👀👀😍👍
Market garden is looking amazing!!! Cant wait to start.
Amazing to see how your place has come along. Exemplary work.
Your farm is so beautiful the picture in my mind all the time as an achievement I'd like to have for my small farm. The information is always so appreciated!
Thank you so much for a beautiful and informative tour!
Great looking farm! Thanks for showing how it's done.
First time seeing you. Beautiful farm!
You tube working its magic allowing us to discover people like this. Nice one Richard.
One of the most beautiful and organized farming I have ever seen. Great job!
It's so refreshing to watch your videos. I love it!
Amazing tomatoes in the tunnel! Great video overall. I am in Texas, horticultural zone 8a. Happy
gardening!
Absolutely Amazing!
Wow, this is such inspiration!
im going to be doing this for my hobby farm!! Thank you
Nice one Richard, you're an inspiration.
Well kept garden.Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing You have a beautiful farm. I hope to see more videos of your farm in the future.
Great Aerial shots ...lovely farm.
Love the flower beds. Can not wait to see those boquets.
Love the aerial view. Very well organized.
One of your best videos to jump start the market garden.
simply the best regenerative UA-cam channel around. everything always looks immaculate. great reward for your efforts.
Well done, sir!
Thank you for one of the most inspirational videos I’ve ever watched. I love your thoughts and philosophy!
Tried in US same thing that you do. I was mechanical engineer so it was my hobby. At the beginning I used Roundup( Glyphosate) & within few years garden turned to dead field. No life in the soil, only moss, nothing wanted to grow, even weeds. I found that no till, wood chips , compost & walkway lined with cardboard boxes, newspaers, cartos cover weeds. Same results that You have. Good luck to You Man.
If you ever have to kill a bunch (cluster) of weeds. Mix salt and vinegar together and pour onto weeds. They'll completely die off in a day or two
RoundUp is a carcinogen. Nobody should ever, ever use it, even on a grass lawn. It gets tracked into the house by kids, breathed, and the pets eat it. Just quit buying the poison, people.
Great philosophy about farming! Thanks for educating me about small farming and sharing your video experiences with the no dig system!
This was most informative, Simple as common knowledge!
TOTALLY TOTALLY agree on your assessment of making everything look fresh and clean as a marketing piece and the over use of using plastic. Image is everything.
Richard, you are one intelligent fella. You sir could run a country.
I love the flow, and harmony, connected with the land. I need to improve my garden practices. Thanks for the video, one of the most admired garden I've seen.
Absolutely awesome! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this content
Beautiful job, your garden beds are fantastic. Bravo!
Excellent explanations...
Looking forward very much to purchasing your book Richard.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge,experience,& perspectives.💚
An amazing video! Inspiring Richard. Thank you!
Gorgeous garden, thanks so much for sharing. :)
I've been no-till since I first heard about it many years ago. Your explanation of why to go no-till is the best I've heard yet! Thank you.
Just found this..I really like the way you talk through and honesty and appreciation..
One of your most useful overview videos, Richard. Thank you.
wonderful.. marvelous.. incredible.. magnificent..
I wished I lived near you, I could learn so much, WOW beautiful. this is the way farming should be like. awesome!
Your farm is incredible! I love your videos and the knowledge you share is easy to understand. Thanks for the fantastic job!
Beautiful Garden Farm
Thank you for a great video, my family enjoyed it, and we shared it with many of our friends
Richard, I am so glad I stumbled upon your Chanel. Ive been tilling oh for probably 25 years, stuck in the same pattern. I used your no till approach this year and my garden looks great and produced better than ever. I used to hoe the paths to get rid of the weeds. No more hoeing. Yay. I have that much more time focusing on my produce instead of weeds. Thank you for sharing your philosophy, knowledge, passion and educating me. I love your market garden. Probably the most beautiful and most organized farm I've ever seen. Would love to find a farm like that in the eastern US. Well done. You should be very proud.
You have run such a productive farm, nice job!
Looks peaceful & beautiful.
First time listening, makes total sense to me, can’t stand using any pesticides. Only one person Kansas explains no till gardening. ❤
Great video. We don't put on enough compost!!!! It'll be different this autumn.
I can testify that no-dig really does prevent perennial weeds - but you may need to give it some time :-)
I am so grateful to you Richard for motivating us to keep going when we mentioned to you at your course in Stockholm last year that we were spending 80% of our time weeding our newly laid no dig beds. We had laid them directly on a field of couch grass in the Spring just before planting. In hindsite we should have done it in the Autumn and probably tilled the ground first. However, last September we put a new layer of cardboard and 5 cm compost on the beds and covered them with thick black plastic. We also dug a trench round the growing area and lined it with plastic to stop new couch grass re-entering from the surrounding field. We have not had a single strand of couch grass in the beds this year! And we have a lot of funghal growth which I believe is a good sign. Now we only have to remove the odd annual weed. This year I bought a tilther from you but only use it to break up the lumps in newly laid compost. It saves a lot of work - highly recommended!
I like how you don't need to wash salad greens. That's pure natural goodness.
So well done!
My wife and I are so grateful to have found you and your channel! Thank you for sharing your farm wisdom and experience. We will eventually take your courses, when we find some land. Does your training information cover the best crops to start with and general basic for getting a new garden started?
Richard. Could you talk more about your garden crew management? What works what doesn't, how you coordinate and compensate your team? Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion, and farm life.
Do you utilize swales and key line water retention?
I'm sold. It sounds wonderful!
Beautiful, just beautiful gardens. You are an inspiration.
Beautiful gardens! I'm looking forward to your book. I am sure it will be the best investment out there. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion - if we all acted like that what a wonderful world.
Thank you!
This is a beautiful farm.
Absolutely wonderful video as always. You keep me looking toward the future, this season has brought me down to a low due to poor management decisions on my part. But I can see where I have done wrong, and none of my problems are unsolvable with the information you give me. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and smart work more importantly. Takr care and best wishes to you, your family, and team.
Loved the video friend. The symbiotic relationship between nature and ourselves as humans can never be broken. Love the philosophy. Farming and gardening can truly balance one's spirit.
Absolutely beautiful garden.
What an utterly gorgeous garden and farm. Congratulations!
I live in the centre of Manchester(UK) and I too spend a good time digging up young tree seeds...every year lol
Amazing work, everything looks very nice and it's very cool to see the evolution of the project! Congratulations!
You are so so knowledgeable. Kudos man!
I've been using grow pots, but this would work great for all the weeds that come up around them - I'm thinking letting the mulch come up around the bags.
You are the most inspirational gardener I have seen. Everything you say is the truth. I have about an acre of land that I will be slowly be turning into no-dig because of your teachings. Thank you so much for sharing your insights.
One of the Best Videos yet on this channel! Very well done and great information. Thank You!
Yes, I would like to hear more about this system.
I love your farm.. it looks beautiful
Beautiful. I like it.
From Kefamenanu-Timor Island-Indonesia.
I'm in Love with this method. I have 6 acres to farm...and I have 2 bags of my favorite Mulch [need much more] and am going to go home (new place- forested/rather a nightmare of untouched forest for 100 years) and lay down a new - no weeding Market Garden. There are 2 sections that are open to sunlight. I will start with those for personal over winter use. Thank you so much for sharing your Garden. 😁❤
Wonderful video thank you! The principles and the lushness of the garden are our goals!
This is so incredible, cant wait to watch more, i love what you're doing. Hello from Australia!
Best farm I've ever seen.
How can I order your book from Europe?
Watching the govt response to covid made me want to start gardening a good family friend (detail oriented engineer) suggested this natural approach with compost and organic mulch matter. Gone natural as I could and so far less complaints than most people I hear from. You sound the most like my friend so I hope it goes as well as I think. Just now feeling better about it.
Amazing garden, just beautiful! Thanks so much for the great video. I just came across your channel, subscribed and liked. Also ordered your book. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks again!
Great job! Beautiful garden! Informative tips!
Lovely presentation. I'm doing this on our acreage this year. Here in southern Alberta we have a lot of thistles and burdock so hoping the cardboard way will kill these. Thanks for your time.🇨🇦💪
