Great episode my friend! Organic material is your friend!
Great video, thank you. I am a Permaculture grower so I practice this method already. I have an allotment and I am the only permaculture grower amongst all of the growers. You should see the look on peoples faces as I pull the weeds from the ground, snap off the roots and throw them back on the soil to decompose. They ask me what I`m doing and that don`t I know that you have to destroy your weeds. Trying to explain to them that whatever comes from the ground goes back into the ground is hard work. And when they see that I never dig the ground over they all think that I`m nuts. However, they have to water their ground every day in the full summer but because of the decomposing matter and mulch laying on top of my soil I only have to water every five or six days even in the full sun of summer.
Very nice tuesday tip! I too like the method of just letting the old plants compost down. It looks a little poor, but come spring you don't even notice it with all the new growth.
This is a good method.
Yep… Still hot lmao
Watching this again having researched the Nasturtium. Great to see that all of it is edible. I`m going to have to get some seeds and grow them this year. This could be an interesting addition to my Vegan lifestyle.
A little tip for nasturtium seeds, they can be pickled and used as poor man's capers.
If leaving it to re-seed, would the dead plants provide enough nutrients to the second generation of plants? Would there just be some beds that are not part of a crop rotation, but rather just left to regrow year after year?
Garden by doing nothing? I'm on board for this lazy tip. 😀
Thanks for the tip about leaving dead cover crops, I guess it might help slow weed germination down too. Cheers mate.
Can you please spell the eatable flowers that were there. Love your videos, keep them coming!
I really want to be a farmer like you!
What other plants will regrow aromatically without having to reseed? I know that's a difficult question but I'm curious! Thanks!
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.
