  1. Urban farmer Curtis – have you ever seen or used a bio plow? The first one was invented in the 1800s i think by a man named Victor Scheuberger a prominent inventor of nature inspired machines and all around water wizard. The bio plow utilises two soil turning spirals nested within each other to preserve the micro organisms that need the top layer soil and water conditions. Its made out of brass. Scheuberger was a true genius by anyones accounting. Check him/it it out on youtube if ya dont know.

  2. Been reading about isolation distances and seed saving, I was wondering if anyone can speak to how/ why he is able to harvest beans as such a close distance when much of what I am reading saying plants need to be isolated (e.g. keep beans 10ft from other beans) to avoid cross pollination for viable seed harvesting?

  3. I used the Grow Biointensive method for over twenty years, right up till I started learning about the soil food web. What I realized is that you cannot have a healthy soil food web if you also till the soil. I have been no-till now for 7 years and I have never looked back. I've got the best soil I have ever had in 40 years of gardening.

  4. I had bio-diversity mixed in with no-till, but this is definitely not no till gardening with a broad-fork that will turn 20-inches of ground. That's a LOT of greenhouse gas that you are releasing. It may be senseless to argue with what looks successful but there is no reason to turn the ground. Check out no-till. It is superior in every way, including yield. Peace.

  5. Curtis, I admire your scientific, pragmatic, rational interpretation toward growing things. You educate me on the logistics and organizational aspects of gardening, where I've focused mostly on the beauty, magic, and wonder of seeds turning into plants that nourish me. Following you balances out my wonder at the natural world with practical ways I can nurture and make a living doing something I love that helps me and those near me know the comfort of food security. I'm looking for property in unconventional places to grow and raise food in BC, to give access to people who otherwise wouldn't have fresh produce, meat, and eggs. If all goes according to plan, I'll grow year round. Thank you for sharing yours and other people's wisdom. You inspire me. Much obliged.
