Brought the "good dirt from our old place" Now this is something I would do😂

From my experience not only does leaving the roots left in the soil for mychorizal purposes but they are also good food for worms.

Aye, sir! Indeed! 🙂

your volunteer pepper patch is quite an interesting approach compared to seed saving, thank you.

I love the pepper seed idea!

I just recently found your channel, and am so excited to see your garden and learn from the great experience y'all have.

Can you do a video about the asparagus??? Things it needs, things to stay away from, how to take care of it through the season.... Thanks!!!

Great suggestion! Hopefully we have the time to do that for you! Blessings!

When I leave my roots in the soil it helps me remember what the last crop was, so I can rotate if I like. We have terrible clay soil, so hugelculture saved us. Everything is logs, buried in sticks, buried in chips covered in mulch manure amd soil. Think giant lasagna beds. They're exceptional and worth the initial effort (especially if you have a woodland and can use all refuse to build beds.)

I stumbled onto your video today and I’m so happy I did. Thank you for sharing how to plant and maintain a healthy garden. I have loved gardening all my life, getting older now, 66. So, the no till is good for me to. I really liked seeing all that you added to your soil. I’ve added some of that but I’m definitely getting more to add to my arsenal. I sure like learning cuz it’s a lot of work if you don’t get it right and disappointing results to.

That's neat! Nice to have you here!

What a pretty garden plot so flat and lovely view over the field at the rear especially with the autumn sun shining down. My little garden in our downsized home is sloped and difficult to maintain one’s balance but has beautiful views. I’m looking into levelling one part so growing will be easier now I’m 80. Our last home had a large flat garden but I worked full time so never grew vegetables there only flowers and shrubs and apple trees. I love hearing what people grow, cilantro (if I am correct is Coriander) is grown a lot in the USA which I was surprised I always think of it as an Asian herb. I can’t stand the taste of fresh myself. Thank you for another interesting video.

Last year I was shocked when I discovered that cilantro will grow all winter. It made it through -6 F temps in zone 7a. I’m impressed by the well planned design of the garden, along with the health of the soil. Looking forward to future videos!

Thanks for the kind remarks! If we work with nature everything is easier and more productive, just like letting a couple lettuce plants go to seed and then you get early lettuce in the spring, peppers too! You get free and early plants in the spring! Win/win situation!

Another very informative video - thanks. I also don't do much crop rotation in my 20 x 20 garden - I keep it close to the same each year to make the most of the sun vs shade areas. I do, however, plant a winter kill cover crop of oats and field peas (I used to cover the soil with black garden fabric to keep the weeds down over the winter/spring. I also used to pull the plants up by the roots - I will no longer do that based on your advice. Have you ever used cover crop over the winter and if not, why not. Thanks for all you do to keep backyard farmers like me enjoying the garden.

Nice! Great question! We answer that question in the video we made about mulching. In that video we explain why we don't do cover crops. Happy gardening!

Yeah, I came across the cover crop video shortly after posting my comment/question. For many years now, I've composted the garden in the spring and again in the fall after the growing season - then for the past few years I've added a cover crop - originally one that didn't winter kill and, you're right of course, it was a lot of work to turn the entire garden over to get rid of the cover - lately I've been planting winter kill cover crop over the compost and then just raking the "debris" away in the spring . I think this coming fall, I'll try the compost and cover crop on one half of the garden, and compost and hay on the other and find out what I have next spring. As always, thanks for the very informative videos and the quick replies to subscriber questions. @@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork

What tomatoes and peppers do you grow for fresh eating?

Love the videos. Been binge watching since I recently found the channel. Loving the content. I'm 44 I've been gardening for 15 years, I love all the experimenting he does. I'm the same way, always trying different methods of growing. What state are you guys located... regardless I love the content and how would I go about getting some of the world record seeds of his?🙏

We're in WA state. He isn't selling any of the world record seeds at the moment, but I believe he is selling some strains that performed close.

Beautiful garden! Are there any plants that you don't leave to cover the ground at the end of the season? Thank you for your videos!

Yes, I compost my tomatoes, potatoes, brassicas, and then put that compost back on the beds.

Who do you control pest, garden is beautiful.

Im not good at identifying disease vs just an old tired plant...which makes me nervous putting my old plants on my soil...i worry too much about diseases that might over winter

Thank you for the gardening tips. I am a beginning gardener and this was really helpful. I am always wondering what to plant with what companion plants, and what the needs of different crops are. God bless you. Have a happy thanksgiving.

I just put apricot tree logs/branches,leaves,hay,straw and then covered it all with the soil that I had excavated out,and that's it, and then I've topped with compost each year.

I'm enjoying your videos. I started asparagus this year and had some asparagus beetles. I worry about cutting back and keeping in place in case they overwinter - even composting a few feet away could be problematic. Do you worry about overwintering pests with chop and drop? Ohio 6a garden.

@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork

You won't have beetles if your plants are healthy, so I'd suggest you seek to discover why you have beetles, something is out of balance, you will never have insect pressure if the plants are healthy, and to have healthy plants you must have thriving biology in your soil.

What about tomato roots. Mine are the size of bowling balls. I'm limited on space so I've been pulling them. Would they completely breakdown in 2 seasons? If so I can try to plant around them for a season.

Does the nitrogen from the corn carry over into the soil contaminating the soil of the vegetables that don’t need a lot of it? Or does it stay relatively in the area that is in need of it?

My corn is always planted on the same spot,I don't practice crop rotation, no need too since nature doesn't why should we,there's reasons why I don't rotate other that that.
