Jean, thanks for such an informative video.
It seems there is no end to understanding optimum growing conditions for plants.
I plan to use some of your good ideas in my own garden. Thanks!
When does Part 5 get shared – can't wait.
Jean, thank you for this series, I admire you and your wife for the hard work you do and hope to one day be as successful and sufficient as you are in my farm/business! Can't wait for number 5

Amazing series all your videos are very informative
Thoroughly enjoying your videos. So much so, I just bought your book. For now, I garden… but love the thought of someday making money off of the food grown. I already gleaned enough info from these videos to improve my garden, so had to support you by buying the book (especially since it's reasonably priced). Thank you for sharing what you've learned.
Perfect distribution of info throughout this series. ten to twenty minutes makes for a delightfully bite-size way of letting it soak in. Brilliant
These videos are answering my questions and connecting things for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks for another great video
This works here in Alberta too., and I love this system .
Thank you.
”It wasn’t about buying another hoop house, clearing up more land, going further out. It was just about acquiring the skill set, which I think, as market gardeners, is really how we can compete with bigger mechanized growers. By doing things better, by doing them more efficiently and by trying to always focus on optimizing instead of just spreading out.”
yo quiero el conocimieto de cultivar tomates y pepinos!!!! fantastico
This is a great video thank you. I've been struggling to get things growing. I do feed but maybe not enough? Kale is struggling, spinach is struggling. Wondering what I'm doing wrong?
Can you use this method without tractor for cereals? And Scythe for harvesting
Our cucumbers died inside hoop house it gets 50°c in summer.. they survived better outside
Let it work in Nigeria too. I need it here
in the case of rocky terrain, what would you do to prepare the land for a permanent bed system? Would you crush the rocks on the surface with special machinery? would you pick them up? or would you leave them there and just add compost? I have a rocky terrain in Mallorca and I having a hard time trying to follow the no-till principles, mainly because nobody does it. In Mallorca, farmers are used to spending money and effort to eliminate the rocks when preparing land for planting
