  1. 4:21 See, that's what i want to understand. Why do you mix garlic, strawberry and asparagus on one bed? Why not plant 7 (or more) lines of garlic on one bed and one bed only with asparagus etc.? Is it for productivity, pest management, shadow, insects, maybe you don't sell a lot of these,…?

  2. Interesting comments on Composting, you should look at some of Charles Dowding content as he doesn't spend anywhere near as long as you've described creating his own compost.

  3. More small farms need compost making employees, that's what I call my worms in my vermicompost system. breakdown takes a couple months and you can feed some of the extra worms to the chickens to help with egg production.

  4. If you are going to continue growing peas there yearly, Either grow companion plants that consume lots of nitrogen, or remove half the compost every 2-3 years. Otherwise you will get a build up of nitrogen and after year 4 you will start getting lots and I mean, lots of leaves and no pods.

    Also,with ginger, while you can cut them as small as 2" I would recommend leaving as much of the ginger as possible, even if it means throwing away some rhizomes as the more of the root there is, the faster the new plant will develop roots and grow. The initial cost will be higher, but you will be creating a crop sooner.
