Can’t wait to see every part of ridgedale farm!
Hi Curtis, I'm so happy you're in Europe for the first time. And what a place to get an introduction to this diverse continent. Great to think of both your entrepreneurial minds deep in collaboration. I'd love to be able to sit down with you both and hear you discuss so many things. Some questions I have. I know in the past you've been quite sceptical of human induced climate change. I wonder if your options on theatre changing and the influence you can have on the debate about what we should be doing to ensure the ecosystem foundations which will ensure our survival are managed in a robust way. What do you think are the most important lessons for new entrant farmers in terms of establishing their markets, calculating how much of each crop to grow etc? What are the best models you've seen for new farmers getting access to land and securing the often expensive infrastructure you need to make your farm profitable? What do people and governments need to be doing in the next 10 years to make sure the future of agriculture is sustainable, profitable, carbon neutral, affordable, fun, viable? Why are there so few small scale profitable farms in the UK compared to the USA? Thanks Curtis.
Great camera work! Loved your dialogue even more than ever! Maybe you can book a trip to Scotland next eh? I learned some new things from you about Richard's farm, so im glad you pointed them out.
You are straight west of stockholm curtis haha @2.40 Welcome here!
It is just incredibly fantastic to see the two of you collaborate. I absolutely have loved his heart and mentality, and your energy and ingenuity. Such a beautiful meshing of thoughts and ideas! ❤
Also you said they grow onions and leeks. how does that work out money wise over a season. how many beds do they grow of them and with their long growing time, are they worth it. Most market gardeners that don't have a large acreage, like yourself stay away from growing these long growing crops. how does it work out money wise and why do they grow them?
So is this a place where no till will work
Would love to know more about the carboard byproduct mulch.
Really impressive gardens, especially for market type!
The thing I consistently see missing from all you wonderful farmers is flowers. I plant nearly 3:1 veggies to flowers. The flowers, if diverse in color, flower size, flowering time, etc., really will bring in the beneficial hover flies, wasps, and other parasitic insects and control the vast majority of pests. Not to mention creating the possibility for cut flowers, increased aesthetics, and greater overall ecosystem functionality. Thanks for the content as always!
Cant wait for more…!!
great footage wish i was there. I also use woodchips and hay in my walkways. It keeps the mud off your footwear after a down pour of rain. It also surpresses weed growth. Enjoy your stay.
Apart from the market garden, what aspects of Richards operation could you see being profitable in an urban/peri-urban context? Lets say you had 2-5 acres of land that was not suitable for market gardening (due to slopes, soils and aspect). Would it be fruit/nut, pasture poultry, mushrooms (a la WTF)?
Hej Curtis, i have a very serious situation that needs imediate help. I have plantes 6 peanus In pots and now 3 of them have some sort of spiderweb and small insects on it and the leaves are turning white. Do you know of any homemade pestcontrol i can spray them with?
Hi Curtis!! Welcome to Europe. I am wondering can you find out where Ridgedale Farm bought their caterpillar tunnels please as I am in Ireland and would love to buy one for us too. Thank you so much
Welcome to our part of the world, thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
Beautiful farm !!!! 🙂
BEAUTIFUL INTRO
Fantastic course Curtis, learnt loads and was super enjoyable. Just digesting it all now 🙂
I'm really curious what has made you so sour on Permaculture. It's kind of funny at this point how much you're straining to make your point. You produce fantastic content, and obviously know a ton, but you are at one of the absolute best examples of Permaculture working really well. You try to say they don't call themselves permaculture anymore, but it's pretty proudly right in their name, website, books, videos…. Permaculture IS NOT a set of dogmas (though it has been unfortunately treated as such by a lot of misinformed, albeit enthusiastic new practitioners); it is an overarching set of ethics and principals as a design methodology to use what is appropriate for your context, problems, needs, etc.
Nobody ever said you wouldn't have to use bug netting if you just had more biodiversity, but it helps. I see so many native bees, parasitic wasps, ladybugs etc all over my diverse set of plants. I see spiders hiding under leaves. I see plenty of slugs and wireworm and flea beetles and aphids and cabbage moths too, but I don't actually sustain a lot of damage. Anecdotally, I am seeing a good balance thus far. It's a buffer, not a magic pill. Again, just very curious about the origin of your bitterness and reasoning for your broad claims. Please prove me wrong
LOL! You found one weed and you pulled it. Nice!
2:35 I think you meant straight WEST of Stockholm! 🙂
