2nd like, 37th view, amazing, love watching your soil grow.
Beautiful! What do you do next spring? Till them into the soil?
we cant pull ours out and our soil is super loose b/c of the woodchips. strong man!
Thank you for sharing. I left only a few stalks in the ground including flower heads and rest of the stalks laid in one of the beds to house ladybugs and family.
On fenugreek roots, I will pull the roots again tomorrow as the first one got dried and I could not creat space in iPhone. The nitrogen nods are small and were even present on the old growth that now has mature seeds. Will upload most likely tomorrow.
Absolutely glorious Mark!!
So, would it be better to brush hog the sun flowers down before the snow comes? It would only take you 15 minutes to do, would that be helping to retain more of the nutrients from the sunflowers?
Do you have a tool for harvesting the seeds or do you do it the old fashioned way?
An amazing view…all the sunflowers blooming within 7-8 weeks! So technically, you may plant the sunflowers in at the end of July, and have great results, if you water. Thanks
What a great idea to sell the whole flower head, so nice for children and customers to get the seeds out for themselves as well. I am leaving all the roots of my corn, runnner beans, squash, and cabbages in for the first time ever. I will cut them off at the base as you suggested this is such a fantastic idea as you then have less compost. It feels really weird doing it but, like putting the wood-chips down, I'm sure once I have done it a few times I will look at other people pulling up their plants and think they are wasting all that 'living root'. Thank you so much again you have taught me so much.
A year or so ago I've seen a documentary of a farmer in Austria. He was tired of high fuel prices for his (I guess conventional) Diesel farm equipment, his Oil central heater and his private Diesel cars. He made a try to grow sunflowers for oil and fuel production. On the bottom line he came up positive, even though he did produce less for sale, because he did cut his cost a big time. The remainings from the pressed seeds became a second income as chicken food. If I translate it right, it could be called sunflower-cake, similar to soy-cake… Looks like producing some oil for consumption and or energy needs is something worth looking in, if one has a bit of space to utilize…
To cool a sea of sunflowers.
Mark, Thank you for taking the time with these videos and giving us this information.
Hi Mark, Clive from just south of you with my first attempt at woodchips that I put down in early spring this year. My watermelons were late because of the cold an overcast May (they're 90-day heirlooms) but they really finished strong. Beautiful Missouri yellow flesh and orange glow. Could I ask you: what can I do to get a root in the ground this late in the season? I plan on putting another six inches or so of woodchips down next month and was wondering what else I could do to prepare the soil for next year. Thank you!
Hi Mark, Do you have any thoughts on why the Bible says in Lev 19:19 “ ‘Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. “ I'm trying to understand what that means and how that applies to cover crops, etc.
Hi Mark! Thank you for all your videos. You have opened my eyes to whole new world and I love it. I have a very strange question. Whats the music playing between 0:35–2:20. I love it!!!
Cool
Where are you located? I'll buy some raw seeds. How much?
do you have a website?
I love it, your field of sunflower looks beautiful. Are those American giants?
