  1. Salut Moreno et merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos hyper ludique et détaillé, je m'installe dans le sud est de la France avec les mêmes pratique que toi. Une idée de vidéo si ca te dit c'est, les gestes techniques sur les semis en plaques alvéolées, surtout en ce début de saison :p.
    Merci encore pour le temps que tu prends afin de partager ton expérience.

  2. If one makes YouTube for a world wide audience where English may not be their first language, speaking a little slower to be more understood, it might be of benefit to speak a little slower. If not, there are many more YouTube creators out there.

  3. Hi Monero, thank you for the videos, they very informative. I'm Freedom from South Africa. we have just acquired 10 hectares of land to use for the production of veggies, we are still researching for now hence I came across your videos while doing research.

  4. Hello, Moreno!! Great consistent and straight to the point!!
    Question: Compost can be peat moss or coco coir…again…what are the ingredients of the compost?

  5. Hi Moreno, Have you had any issues with the wood chips/mulch introducing bugs/pests into your garden? I have access to free mulch but it seems to be ridden with pests sometimes (earwigs).

  6. as for the compost, i am currently trialing vermicomposting a mix of woodchip and (hu-)manure. the results are awesome. they have been tested fully pahtogen free and a grade compost by an australian laboratory.

    this is the link to the description of the experiment, aswell as results.

    i highly recommend using vermicomposting to create living compost, humus, instead of turnig the compost which is a thermic procedure that not only wastes energy but creates a quite lifeless compost soil.

  7. Hi. Really informative video. I've learnt so much in such a short video. Thank you. Can I just ask, do you put a membrane under your wood chips? I've just taken got an allotment plot and it was completely overgrown. I'm beginning to lay out the beds and was thinking of having woodchip paths. I've removed as much weed as I can, but some of the perennial weed roots seem to go on forever and I'm not sure I've been able to get them all out. Another problem I have is the plot is covered with weed seed that had fallen before I could get the weeds out. If you don't mind me asking, what would you advise? Thank you.

  8. In Utah I have to be careful of animal waste that is a byproduct of roundup hay. The roundup is fairly persistent but I believe it can be processed with time. Is roundup hay allowed where you are?

  9. My 6 year old grandson just went out to take the kitchen compost to our chickens. The snow is frozen solid as it is 10 degrees F here right now despite the sun shining! This is 25 degrees below normal temps. It is going to be even colder next week and over the next 10 days. We are zone 5b/6a. Geesh. I love your videos! I know this is year later and you may not have time to answer any questions but I wonder if you transplant beets instead of direct seeding? JM Fortier always transplants from starts. I tried in the paperpot but that thing and I just can't get along. I'm selling it. It worked great for onions (which was the original intention for it's development) but it is too heavy for me. Your video on the 6row was a godsend. Thanks

  10. Hi Moreno,
    Great channel, very very useful!
    Just a silly question: the fleece and the insect nets are 2 different things, right?
    Thank you and thank you for all the great info!!
