Amazing videos JM! And thanks for bringing the topic of mental health into the farming and market gardening conversation. There are many, like myself, who are drawn to this kind of work for those mental health benefits.

Extremely cool. We're on 5 acres, but hit 10,000 trees in the ground this year. The BCS would be the perfectly scaled tool for our croft. One day!

wow amazing! And yes for sure it would be a great tool system to invest in for you 👌

Great idea! I'll have to start doing this on my homestead, thanks JM!

Don't forget the Hardwood leaves in the fall.

@@isabelarriecheleave them whole and in the paths over winter. Essential early spring bird food in the form of bugs and caterpillars will stay alive. Trampling on them throughout the spring will break them down to be added as mulch to beds in the autumn. All with no fuel and time spent on shredding.

Great!!🖖🖖🖖

Efficiency - shovel directly into a wheelbarrow and work with a partner or two to unload as fast as you can load. Piling the chips creates the extra step of shoveling - rarely a fun task.

First!

Carbon to Nitrogen ratio...???

I have a bcs but the attachments are too expensive.

The truth is in the figures. What amount of wood is required to provide enough amendement for a 3 acres market garden ? 3 cm of wood amendement (which is generally suggested in perma litterature) for 3 acres means about 400 m3 of wood chips ... The time needed to get 400 m3 with a so little tool is quite a joke. And 400 m3 of wood each year means how many acres of forest to process / destroy ? Definitely not a good idea to generalise ...
