Before I got too far into this new growing season I wanted to make a video to outline the new direction I’m taking when it comes to growing food, and the reasons behind this. I have felt constricted by only adopting certain methods of growing, and after much research and learning and questioning I feel it is time to change direction and look at bringing in other schools of thought that make intuitive sense to my personal gardening goals. I hope you enjoy this video and I look forward to your comments.

I thought no-dig meant no forking or tilling, top dressing with compost or composted manures. So you’re going to start rolling? Why and when in two sentences please.

This is great. Really exciting. Looking forward to hearing more about it
great video Huw; what are you growing on those short bamboo stakes (7:11 minutes)? thank you
I watched the vidio with using bramble to stop slugs very interesting..but my question in do they have to be fresh brambles ?
I need to protect beans and pumpkins in may , but fresh brambles are more late june of july .. so can I collect in july for next spring?
It just goes to show how diverse God was and is in His creations. No two people are alike, and neither is a garden. LOVELY videos Huw!
You might come from nature but the rest of us were created by God.
I respect that
Huw, you are like Will Ferrel in Wedding Crashers….you’ve now moved on from crashing weddings to crashing funerals…..my man!
You are the best gardener I will ever now
Just a quick question Hugh. Are you growing food for commercial purposes or just for personal use within the family? greetings from NZ by the way.
1.Sometimes no dig involves cardboard as base don't the chemicals used in producing cardboard affect the soil?
2.if there is heavy rain won't that increases weed growth?
I love this approach. I generally have a "lets see what works" approach to my gardens. I don't believe in any hard and fast rules, and use most things as a guideline. Doing this, I've had some real unexpected successes, with things doing really well when I've put them in a spot I knew was less than ideal, but I had no other space available.
This was my first year planting a garden I followed your advice I did ok The soil is clay so the spuds were weak I must mix in more compost Thank you for all your wonderful advice Roll on next year
Hey…. I thought this was a "no dig" gardening channel
great!
what were you doing with the nettles?
Huw, enjoyed and learned lot. In essence I agree with you there are many ways to plant and build a comprehensive productive garden. Trying different methods should be applicable in gardening as in our general lives. Keep up the good work.
I am a firm believer in being eclectic, in many matters. Take the best from everywhere and avoid being dogmatic.
Plants sharing their photosynthesis with the soil via exudates is the most fascinating thing I've learned about growing in recent years. Because of that, the method that I MOST recommend that home gardeners borrow from farmers is utilization of cover crops. Rather than leaving beds fallow over the winter, growing a winter green manure keeps that photosynthetic activity going year-round (as long as it's not freezing) and in the spring you have mounds of fresh biomass for composting and mulching, and energized soil that has been fed all winter 🙂
Delightful to watch you grow as a gardener and what wonderful tips you share too. Gardening is a life long passion and journey and helps us evolve. I really like how you reminded us that we, as humans, are a part of nature as well. Thank you!
I'm happy to see you trying Korean Natural Farming and JADAM techniques like LABS, JMS, FPJ but I really hope you have already given credit to the giant's shoulders you are standing on, Master Cho and Youngsang Cho among other Asian natural farmers. They've sacrificed too much to not get credit for their work. I didn't hear you mention either which is quite strange if you are new to their techniques and introducing them to your audience. You need to be transparent about where you got the knowledge.
I have slime mold growing all over my yard. It's starting to look like a bad horror film from the 1950's. It doesn't just grow on the wood chips, it grows up on my pants with no obvious food source unless it was getting it from the plant. Have you ever heard of it eating plants before? Is it usually good in there garden?
I like how Geoff Lawton describes how Permaculture is an ethics based holistic design science and is like a "wardrobe" that holds the "coat hangers" of techniques like syntropics, regenerative agroculture, agro-forestry, no dig etc etc.
We need to pull from all the best practices and the Permaculture design science is how you incorporate them together and personalize for your area/garden/plot, for the best results for you, wildlife and earth =)
Superb
Video production is fantastic.
Good video. But nowhere do you describe what you are actually doing!
