I know this is last years video, but I hope you can answer a question.  I am trying to use your method.  Primarily because I do not want to use chemicals or fertilizers, but also because I am extremely limited to having land and seeds only.  I cannot spend money on dirt, or any other additives.  Anyway, your videos have inspired me and made me hopeful that I can grow something in my clay soil!  My questions is about tomatoes.  It is very windy in my area and every day I go out to find another tomato plant snapped and destroyed by the wind.  They are very small now.  Do you have any suggestions to protect them?  Thank you for your videos and your advice.
