To prevent transplant shock when planting in the garden or food forest, their are a few important tips to consider. Organic gardening with wood chips can make things a lot easier for you, but without these few tips the wood chips can be working against you rather then for you. The food forest is covered in a thick wood chip mulch, similar to the back to eden method, which allows me to plug annuals into the garden wherever there is enough light and space.

Thanks for this! And your soil is amazing! My back to Eden garden has been in place for three years now and it is finally starting to create good compost to work with. Excited every time I take back the top mulch layer!
You have beautiful soil. I need need need wood chips.
I just started harvesting some myself. I believe the other one I have is premier. I wasn't that big on it the first year but the second year it grew faster and tastes better. I have a couple that over wintered in Michigan.
Your videos have always been filled with great info man, but the overall video quality is top tier these days. Keep it up bro.
Red Russian kale! Stems arent near as bitter!
do u think itd be a good idea to add a little bit of a green/nitrogenous material on the wood chips,but not too much?i mulch my plants with dead leaves and im not sure if putting a little bit of banana peels or something nitrogenous like that on the leaves around the plant is a good idea.i know too much can burn the roots.

The red Russian Kale is my favorite. It may not do well in your area though, it prefers very cold temps.

…and, thankies for all your vids. 😀
Dude it's a wonderful climate you're living in, and you are for sure making the most of it!
I enjoy your videos a lot, very informative!
good tip about hardening, it's something I know but often forget to do! great video, thank you.
Great video! This is my 1st year doing back to eden gardening, so I'm looking forward to starting all over for next year.
What medium do you use for germination? Do you ever use peat pellets?
Very clear and great Video James! I really want to compliment you on your video's. I enjoy watching them all, and it is very nice to see that the quality of your video's and your permaculture garden/knowhow evolves through the years. Keep up the great work!
Red Russian Kale is my favorite. Keep up the good work James
This is the video I was looking for. So you try to keep your woodchips a few inches over the soil level, instead of piling up a foot or more of them? You don't actually build 'raised beds'.
Nice i say awwwwwwwwwww noooooooooo when i see you cutting the other kale because back in my country in Philippines i don't waste plants i thin them but not cutting style i take it out with root and plant them and it grows…that's my method and i respect yours , enjoy watching it and i learn more from videos
i like that u used red solo cups to make baby plantings!
Have you tried the purple kale if so did you also plant in the shade?
More vids like this one please!
I grow Portuguese Kale and Lacinato only. Portuguese Kale is just like collards only better in my opinion. You can get it from seeds of Italy…, the leaves are almost blue green and it's just as ornamental… it's not a curly variety
Not sure if this has already been answered but what is the medium you use in the cups to grow your seed in, ie your own soil or a potting mix or seed raising mix.
This guy sounds like he end every sentence with a question mark.
James the Mr. Mellow in this video

Dang, wish I found this video before I man handled my seedlings. Cucumbers are yellowing from shock, you think I’ll lose them?!
