I learned wide row gardening from reading Dick Raymond's book, "The Joy of Gardening". I believe it was from the 80's. It really worked for me in a small garden to plant in these rows and was able to put in more veggies in a smaller space. Looks like you have a lot going on there, great job, Kim
Great video and sound quality is excellent, which is not the norm, unfortunately.
I would like to watch part 4 of this series about the cropping systems….and more if there are other parts as well….thank you.
So when you have the Canopy, does using a sprinkler watering system still work? Does the water trickle down through the canopy and have even coverage?
Isn't there a loss in net productivity from the carrots being so close to other in the 30cm row? ie less room to grow? Or are you only selling very young carrots?
Jean-Martin, we live in Tennessee. Read your book. Applied what you teach. Experienced great results in 2015. Thank you!
Such informative and enjoyable presentations Jean-Martin! Thank you for producing these. Just bought your book and looking forward to reading it. Thanks!
There hasn't been a mention of testing soil pH or solluble minerals..?
I wanna be this guy when I grow up
Dude cracked the code and we owe him a debt of gratitude.
