I wish I had your brush piles. I have seen the back to eden film, that guy puts 4 inches of wood chips on his orchard and gardens and hardly ever has to water his plants. I found out from youtube videos you can put a 1 1/2 inch hole in the deck of your lawnmower and put in tree branches. My mulching mower cuts right thru them and feeds them into the bagger. I just don't have enough branches like what you have. I enjoy your videos would like to see your portable chick coop when its done.
For the mulch I use on the garden, I have local tree trimmers deliver it to the farm for free (in large quantities). It is much easier than chipping the brush pile. However, I make good use of the ash from the brush pile (good source of potassium) and spread it on my veggies, especially root crops like potatoes. In one of my videos (don't remember which one), I do show me moving the chicken house with the tractor
Sweet potatoes like long hot summers. However, I know farmers in Maine (much colder than Denmark) that grow them. Denmark is only a zone or 2 colder than Georgia. If it is not quite warm enough, grow them under clear plastic tunnels (that is what they do in Maine)
Great stuff. Interested to see how planing right in the mulch works out. Thank you for your videos.

Mark glad to see you made a video. By the way I am interested in how did your grain do? I remember you planting some grain to make flour out of.
Rather than burning, it would have been nice to run that stuff through a chipper for mulch. Nice garden.
why burning make wood chips for mulch.
