Your back! Lol
I think you were trying to invite me to dinner. Unfortunately I live in Scotland.
I just watched a sobering documentary about water shortages.
Rainwater gathers oxygen as it falls. City and well water lack that advantage.
Your info on deep roots and circulation/retention of rainwater is essential.

Yep! I'm very worried for next year, because between 38celsius temps and 2 months of zero rain (London UK), watering was pretty ineffective, and growth terrible. I'm going cover-crop and mulch and wildflower-crazy this year. I've got more beds to sow……once our endless rain stops…
Is clover a good cover crop?
I can pick it once in a while for my chickens they love it and it just grows right back.
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I never miss watching any of your videos.
I have a question, can we use parsley as a cover crop since it has a tap root or it won’t be as effective?
Do you use any added fertilizer during growing season? Or is cover cropping efficient to go threw the growing season? I am trying to grow more organic but it's expensive to keep buying organic foods to feed my plants something need to change!
Great Video my Friend.
Curious what was that Variety of Tomatoes
Take Care Thanks Mark ‼️
You are definitely my living soil guru Mark. Thanks for sharing Your knowledge.
Mark,
I have been thinking of what type(s) of cover crop(s) I should use in October when the growing season wraps up. I tried winter rye but it was hard to kill in Spring. Daikon didn’t germinate well in October last year but they were popping up everywhere in Spring.
I need two things:
1. A winter kill cover crop that I can interplant right now with my overwintering brassicas.
2. A cover crop that’ll germinate well in late October when I pull out the warm season crops.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Great video! So jealous of your tomatoes!
We have a few areas in our backyard that is our garden space. Since it is a smallish area should we do cover cropping? If so do you have recommendations for best thing to use. I’m hoping to increase our garden plot size this fall and to be ready for spring planting by trying out your cover crop ideas. Thanks so much for info. (I live in zone 6B and our first frost is usually toward end of October.)
