We continue our Ruth Stout permaculture experiments by companion planting carrots, radishes, and onions.

hi. love you guys for the positive attitude. have u guys seen the lectures by the Kaiser's from singing frog farms? they do transplants reducing the growing period in ground. of course they tarfet CSAs and farmer markets, so may not be suitable for you necessary. but pls do have a look.
Nice video! Good animation and narration. Looking forward to seeing how the experiment progresses.
I like your 'give it a go' attitude. Good luck!
this is kind of fun to watch your progress……………….lol.
Great Videos! thank you
Thumbs up. Thanks for sharing. ENJOY… THE SIMPLE LIFE
Your voice is so great for educational videos … you could probably do videos for other companies as a side job!
I can't wait to see how this works out. And I love the cartoons ☺️
After years of putting hays on top of the new soil, would the ground be too high eventually?
Thank you for taking the time to edit your videos. I enjoy your clipping pace!
Thanks for the video. Sounds real interesting. Going to try it out on our homestead! Just subbed your channel, looking forward to your channel! When you get some time, check out our new channel, we would appreciate it! Y'all have a Blessed Day!
How was the turnout for this experiment
How do you keep the grass seeds from the hay from growing?
My main problem with no-dig methods is that it's so easy to take a hoe and dig up a garden bed. It takes like a minute to do a square meter.
I saw how things did not turn out as you planned in your follow up video. You can start your seeds in the hay and not the soil. This will allow the small feeder roots under the bulb to grab nutrients from the soil while the bulbs can grow large without the compacted earth restricting it. You did a video on fast raised beds by flipping sod over on other sod. You can do something similar here if you struggle to form rows with the small seeds in the hay. Place an inch or two of soil from beside your beds on top of the hay. Then stick the seeds in this. Your hay will decompose from top and bottom, and your root vegetables will thrive without any compaction.
Thank you so much for this video! I as well am just about to try the Ruth stout planting this year for potatoes and I was thinking of adding these in. The companion planting and your explanation was brilliant. I was actually introduced to your channel in my course I’m taking in college called Field to fork: Local and Global food systems. It was shown in our class the 337 potatoes video. I’m looking forward to seeing more.
My carrots used to be pathetically small too until I companion planted them with tomatoes. Give that a try.
How PBS hasn't picked this series up as show is beyond me! Everything you do is perfect. Please keep it up!
You don't have moles, or screws, or gophers?
Did my straw garden set up last year, but planted nothing, was too busy on other projects. Now am about to plant garlic, onions, carrots and radish. Thanks for the video and tips.
Nice video.
I am going to experiment with this method where my lawn used to be. If it works, great. If not. I learned something. Thank you for your educational videos.
Love your animation
Great attitude. thanks. First year stouting mid michigan 2020. hoping something grows for me

Hello! I'm near where you are, Gatineau, Quebec. I also want to experiment with the "Ruth Stout" style of gardening. I've already obtained bales of straw but I can also have access to clean hardwood chips (from a furniture maker). So this fall, I want to mulch with grass clippings, tree leaves shredded, wood chips and straw. My question is: Do I just make layers of these like a lazagna? Could you give me the order that I should put these in? Or even if it's a good idea? I plant a lot of garlic, like 200, so this would be good to put on top? Thank you so much in advance, Danielle
Your content is really incredible and so valuable guys. You must have done sooo much hard work to get here and figure out how to make such good videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Hoping to start a small garden soon. ❤️
If your planting carrots correctly, you wont have any space what so ever for companion planting.
Can companion planting be profitable or yield more than commercial farming?
