In my opinion, your channel is one of the best gardening/farming channel because the proof is in the pudding is in the eating and I may not know what liquid carbon is but to me and my personal experience, living roots in the ground are paramount to soil building. Also from my experience, fertilization of any kind is unessecary once the ecology has had a chance to develop. I planted tomatoes very close between my Apple trees (after growing tomatoes in the same spot for years) and no one could believe that I got tomatoes as large as my dwarf Apple trees with nothing but mulch and using polycultures
I love that you bring us along with you for your experiments! I also appreciate that you admit that you do not know everything like some people after going to a weekend class and getting a silly title.
How do I apply this leaf mould/ woodchips technique to market gardens ?
Awesome!
I planted the winter rye and will see how it goes next year.
Thank you for sharing knowledge.
Thanks, Mark! Enjoy your harvest. Thanks also for the size comparison aid. 🙂
good info again – hope you picked the green ones too
all the very best
How much water did you use to support these plants?
Love your videos! I am planting a cover crop for the first time this fall. So excited to see the difference next year.
Great topic. What is the next step for that row of peppers. Will you hand sow cereal rye and clover into the bed with what is left? Looks to be a few weeds, which is expected. Do you leave those weeds there also?
Nice looking peppers Mark! Instead of cutting them back at the ground (and leaving dead roots) you might consider "winterizing" them with some mild pruning and a low tunnel. That will keep them in hibernation (with living roots and all) and in the spring they should bush out and get taller with thicker stems. I've seen YouTubers double their production this way.
Hey Mark,
Another informative video, thanks.
Just wondering, have you given up on the wood chip method?
Wow… looks like your peppers did really well! Where did you purchase your seeds from?
another great video ! I understand you pulled that plant up to check out root system, however that made me think what should be done with garden plants after growing system? Pretty sure cut plants down close to ground leaving roots in tact. But what about rest of plant? Compost pile? Let it lay in garden row to decompose over winter? thanks!
Yum!
What type seeds/plants you use?
Heirloom?
Thank you
