Hello! If I put saw dust and wood chips on top of grass , will the grass die and feed the new bed I am trying to make? On top of that i want to put compost leaves and hey to rot a whole year. Will that work?
Thank you for another great video. Time to pull out my microscope. Do you happen to know the process to extract a sample from the soil to view under a scope?
Mark…do you have any opinion on using a broad fork? Do you consider that the same as tilling? I'm talking about prepping a grassy area that's never been worked before.
I know the best way to get rid of perennial grass is to cover it with plastic but what are some possible solutions on a larger scale. Closer to 50 acres
I would like to ask a question if i may. where do you get your wood chips ? I am not trying to be difficult but if your getting those from the land fill or tree services do you realize what you maybe bringing into your garden ? I have several friends that spray for power companies and state highway departments everyday . They spray thousands of gallons of chemicals a week onto trees that the then come through and clean up. So I do you really know whats in those chips ?
Very interesting thank you for showing and explaining how beneficial they are
really enjoy watching your work with the microscope.
This is so great. Hope homeschoolers follow you….professor!
I really enjoy watching your work with the microscope.It's the first time I see Nematodes, I had never seen before. I have learn alot, thank you so much for your hard working, understanding video!
I don’t think you have to buy any of that. Nature provides once you provide the right environment for them to thrive in.
super cool !
great info, i was watching the clover/ strawberry video /// was wondering where you are located??? & would these 3 cover crops work in tx sun??
Hey bud! I love the channel and the nerdy goodness you have going on. Question for you. I have a good sized area that is covered in grass.Ultimatly, I want to turn the whole are into a food forrest but I have to go about this bit by bit. I'd like to start building soil out there while I focus on the veggie patch near me. My idea was to plant winter rye and or prairie grass out there. I had hoped to run a chicken tractor over the area over the next few years and just build great soil. I'm at a loss on how to seed such a large area without tilling up the grass. All the info I can find about green manure starts with spraying roundup or tilling. That's seems to defeat the purpose. Any ideas?
I find this very confusing. Last year our entire garden was destroyed in a mater of 2-3 week by nematodes attacking the roots. The plants quickly died. Are these the same nematodes? Could placing hay over the garden area for a couple if years turn this around?
what microscope is that? It's beatiful!

Ads for spraying extendomax on Mark's no till vids….I'm sure it's a great profuct
Where's the LOVE button?!
I just bought some of these this week. The one that controls Fungal gnats… I think that's what they're called. I was wondering if they were actually a thing or if they were just ripping me off! lol This video is really interesting!
I have been binge watching your videos together with videos of Dr Elaine Ingham and there is something that has me confused.
if mycorrhizae fungi are responsible for feeding plants with nutrients and water, what use do we have from the nematodes if they eat mycorrhizae? you say the nematodes poop plant available nutrients, but, the MR fungi has our plants already covered with nutrients so what's the point?
So how do you apply this solution to your soil and could this be applied to lawns
There is algae in the soil as well.
Thank you.
Great video Mark! Been rewatching, cant believe how much is missed in your videos. So much content always worth a second and third thru..
What happens to them in a raised bed when the soil freezes solid ???
Hi Mark, I will NOT have to use any kind of compost/manure/ammendments if I have living roots(cover crop) all the time?
