VIDEO: Small Scale No-Till Methods for the Market Garden with Pat Battle UNCUT


COMPLETE UNCUT FOOTAGE
Explore the possibilities of no till and low till methods in the garden and greenhouse with Pat Battle and a special visit by John Morrison. John brought special equipment being utilized at Living Web Farms to implement methods that are low impact on the soil while still producing high yields. From cover crops that build organic matter to root crops that perform dig deep in the soil, learn the many ways you can grow a market garden without tilling.

  1. Hook that chain on the back of a rider with a rope, and DRAG IT down that row back and forth, and it will RIP OUT that crap. Wow. That's crazy to manually try and remove that vetch with the chain. I don't do no till. I do ONE TILL. I get it tilled up good, with stuff to build the soil, then I lay a heavy sheet of black plastic on, and cut holes for my crops. That way next year, all I have to do is plant the rows or holes. So easy and very little pulling weeds! I've even used strips of old carpet between the rows. Works great!

  2. God said when He CREATED US , and Adam and Eve sinned, that we are to TILL THE GROUND. If you want to do no till to make life easier, that's one thing, but to do it because you think all those "SUSTAINABLE" idiots are RIGHT, then you really need to look at the rest of their EVIL AGENDAS! If no till truly was BETTER than tilling, it would be the FIRST of the Sustainable agendas that WAS NOT FROM HELL ITSELF. Click my icon and watch my videos for the TRUTH about the U.N. Agendas. They are the exact OPPOSITE of EVERYTHING that God Himself WANTS FOR US and they mean DEATH for humanity. I don't agree with most modern farming stuff, like GMO crops and any chemical use, but tilling is just a part of breaking up the ground so that the ROOTS can easily spread in the softened ground. I cannot imagine that no till crops will grow bigger or be more productive than tilling. I can't imagine stuffing a seed in hard ground would produce good results. Granted, the roots don't spread into the whole planting area, so maybe just till only where the seeds are rooting. and leave the rest. I do this myself. So it's half no till, I guess. I till the whole area and build up the soil, then cover with black plastic or carpet, and cut holes and plant. In Fall, I rip out the old plants, and compost the open soil areas, and then in Spring, just replant the open holes. I have very few weeds to deal with, and I use no chemicals. This works great for home gardens, and the plastic lasts for years, and protects the ground from the literal TONS of aluminum, barium, and strontium they are DAILY SPRAYING ON US AND OUR EARTH! Click my icon and watch my videos. God has shown me many things that all need to know.

  3. Never trust ANY 'world' organization, because they are controlled by the EVIL U.N. and they are pushing DEATH ON HUMANITY! They have openly stated that they want 80-90 percent depopulation. They are STEALING ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, and if the U.N. is NOT stopped, you will not own anything at all because their agendas give everything on the planet to the U.N. and that includes ALL of your rights, your lands, your homes, and even YOUR KIDS AND FUTURE INCOMES!! WAKE UP!! Click my icon and watch the Sheriff's Alert and forward it to your local sheriff!

  4. AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BUILD THERE OWN ENGINE FARMING MACHINES THAT THE FARMER NEEDS, ASK TRUMP TO HELP ANYTHING THE FARMERS NEEDS TRUMP WILL DO IT

  5. IN EUROPE THEY HAVE MULTIPLE BLADES, SOMEBODY NEED TO GO IN THE LARGEST INDUSTRY FARMERS IN EUROPE TO COPY THERE MACHINE THAT USE THAT KIND OF MACHINE AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN CREATE OUR OWN NECESSITY MACHINE FOR A GOOD CONVENIENT NEEDS FOR THE FARMERS, LOTS OF YOUNG AMERICANS ENGINEERS CAN CREATE THAT MACHINE

  6. Sometimes elderly people are too conservative. I agree in main points, but some of them are not necessary in this century, those can be changed, and become more efficient.

  7. In regards to the comments at 34 minutes and about science, Dr Elaine Ingham from Soil Food Web is very much THE scientist who studied these things and understands the science and common sense behind growing. Not all scientists are lazy, maybe only few exceptions exist, but she is AMAZING. Will cure your problem with a biological compost tea in one fix.

  8. @ 16:00 just use a heavy piece of plywood and walk on it and jump , then just flop it foreward and do it again…….its a good way to pick wilde blackberries too……….that chain lift ergonomics will totally wear u out

  9. @2:25 The discussion about the scythe being a great no-till tool … I agree, and when you mentioned a video with Larry (couldn't hear the last name) about the use of a scythe in no-till. Did that video ever get uploaded? I couldn't find it.

  10. That hurt watching you sythe. Remove the blade, turn over the handle then re-install the blade on the proper side. The handle hump needs to be up. Not down. Slide the blade across the ground. Don’t chop.

  11. The scythe is a cool tool. But what I’ve found very effective is doing no cut work at all. I let nature and weeds make the soil rich. Weeds die back as soon as I start planting a new cover crop of buckwheat and red clover/ mixed variety of small bird seeds as well so the finches come. It works wonders. By the time the plants all die and weeds come up the soil is beautiful. I used to have a very hard sand/clay soil that grew nothing. I can now grow everything. Even hard to grow plants inside that tiny area I’ve been experimenting on. It’s beautiful right now as the clovers and buckwheat die back. I found wild flowers thanks to birds inside. Just beautiful how nature lets it just work out. Of course, don’t let it go solo without planting something. I have a patch of weeds and plants I don’t touch for three years and the weeds really just overrun but I let it because bugs and birds prefer the weeds funny enough
