My most important video yet! No big machinery needed, no advanced watering drip line system, just mimicking the natural system. In my opinion this is the best method for starting a garden.

Hi James, Thanks for these basic details on how to start one. Its really helpful to see all that u do right from the start and how it progresses. Thanks again.
thank you for sharing. great video
I just moved out on my own onto a nice piece of land and I want to start a garden. I just don't know where to start lol. But this video definitely helps!
James, thanks for showing how easy and inexpensive it is to start a garden using a no-till method.
I am opening a small living plat nursery – and sure do thank you for posting this. I like the "forest" idea and will incorporate it into my landscape design.
Great video!
nice ,cant wait to watch this one go for it
Do you direct sew all of your seeds or do you start some plants early indoors? Our growing season in NJ is so short. Thank you very much for sharing your insight! Very helpful and inspiring.
hello. I do like your videos. but I see a lot of gaps in your understanding of soil life. If you have never heard of Dr Elane Ingram, I highly recommend her books and teachings. she is the world's formost author on soil biology. she has a book called "soil biology primer" which is a good starting point. you can download it for free on the amazon books app. or its 25 for a hardcopy on amazon. thanks again for the garden tours
I hope to get a load of wood chips one day. I don't see the tree trimmers out here to often. Thanks

just came off you recent video. It is great to see where you came from to where you are now 🙂 take care
Well, this is useful for those starting a garden – just one of many methods.
Now I just need a good source of mulch.
Great video start to finish. Awesome information
James where in NJ are u located? north central south?
No compost needed? We have a five year old orchard with just grass and are in the process of converting it to a food forest. We just scored a bunch of woodchips but are waiting until we can afford compost. But it'll be great if it's not necessary! LOVE your garden!
Nice score James..
Another very good point or connvience to.this style of gardening is you are nought spending time and money building raised beds. Oh I do love my raised boxes but there is a limit as to how much you cang stuff into a boxed area. Your method looks so much more….natural and somehow more alive.
Thank you James for inspireing us. Got a feeling it will become a matter of survival at some point..
Very inspiring. It is extremely helpful that you say so specifically what you did…gave the depth of the mulches for the different types of plants. Nature’s way. The best guide 🙂
thanks for sharing your ideas. your youtube channel is very inspiring.
thank you for telling me that you don't need fertilizer or pesticide. awsome.
Love it!
Old school JP! Production style has evolved so much
Is to contractors paper the same as butcher paper (it comes in white and brown and some other colors too.)
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this process! I've been watching your channel for about 2 years, and slowly starting our garden. But now I'm planning on jumping into a LARGE food forest and utilizing our 5 acres properly, with a dedicated area for an orchard and another for a large vegetable garden. It's currently all grass yard, so I was apprehensive on how to start. This helps immensely! THANK YOU!
James, right after you spread the wood chips out do you saturate the mulch and contractors paper to help initiate decomposition or just leave it be?
