Let the comments from the no-till police begin…
Wish I could find a place in my area that rented this setup (bigger aka 739+ BCS wheel extensions and rotary plow). Would be great to be able to use to break new ground / establish beds. Great content as always.
Amazing! Thank you Curtis! Love all your videos! Always learning and getting inspired to help others from all your priceless knowledge.. Thank you again Curtis!
I love how we call our most precious resource "dirt". My thought of the day.
I can see how this would be exceptionally beneficial for raw land that is compacted and degraded. When using it for other purposes than breaking ground, does it damage the soil biology? Or can you set it to dig shallow enough not to cause any significant disturbance, as with the tilther? Thank you!
When you get enough area to plow it is better to hire a tractor with a real plow. The hours spent walking up and down can be used better planting. Of course there is satisfaction in doing the work yourself, but the cash flow out for hiring the plowing service is repaid when you can sow faster. If you are a group of growers it can be cheaper to buy old equipment the large scale operations have abandoned and share it. Or buy from the Amish directly.
Yesterday I hand raked portions of a farmers field where sallad, spinach, radishes and canadian lentils were sown afterwards. If the tractor did not have a flat tire I would have used that instead. The field was plowed in the autumn and I can only imagine the time it would taken if it would have been done with one of these machines. We would still be out there plowing.
Regarding the paper pot transplanter, there are three-five row versions a larger operation should use. Put it behind an old tractor 25 hp or a modern equivalent and increase the width of the wheelbase to go over the walk ways. There are videos of Indians using them for those interested. That way you can plant faster. If you drive on biodiesel the inner environmentalist will rejoice. But you will take human food and use it as tractor food instead. Do you want wage slaves or mechanical slaves to do the work for you?
The dead dinosaurs will not last forever, but the slower we pump them out of the ground the longer they will last. Energy efficiency and prioritized usage will make the dead dinosaurs last longer. That way the UN staff in New York can fly around the globe preaching global warming more. And the Canadians do not have to kill the tar sands as fast as they do.
That is a crime!!!!… that is the main mistake you can do on your ground….. then you destroy the ground structur…… you destroy the ''granules'' and after you have a dust…. a dead dust.. By
Gravely Tractor attachment from the 60’s
This wasn't very clear…
The best machine for that is a kind of Yeomans plow. What you are doing in that way is disturbing so much the soil that the bacterias are killed by UV. I would only use that way you show in case the land is totally dead or exhausted after chemical conventional agriculture.
