John, I have just tilled rice hulls, rock dust, kelp, and worm castings into my garden, I have a few bags of lobster compost on the way, and am about to brew some tea to water it with before the growing season starts. My question is: Should I till my garden again when I get the lobster compost, or can I just throw a layer of lobster compost on top and then water the compost tea over the compost?

MAN-BEAR!!

The fertilizer is not made from petroleum based products. Do a little research on where fertilizers come from . They are mined and petroleum is used in the machinery that manufactures them but they are not made from petroleum.

the fertilizer is not petroleum based however it does use natural gas. however it is still NOT good, it is just a misunderstanding that it is "petroleum-based" I.E. is made of petroleum or oil as a component of the fertilizer. some can leave salt in the ground which is also very bad if you plan on not using the fertilizer later on.

Such a brilliant tour. just learnt heaps, thank you so much. I am a raw plant eater.

John , always entertaining, only you can make a barren field interesting.

Thanks for shearing John

I like the idea with worms bins

I did get the solar timers you recommended to me. Going to be plumbing them in this weekend. Just too much rain in southern Texas this week to really do much outside.

ding dongs and ho ho's - what channel am i watching?

video's are too long

Another great video !

Thanks John

How funny - you are right down the street from where we live....

Im going to do a 3 month permaculture apprenticeship this spring. Afterwards I might wwoof or find a farm like that one to apprentice and hone in my skills.

awesome vid mate ..man i love you work ..you are such a great inspiration to me and im sure many others

Thank you very much John; your videos are not only informative, but they're also very fun to watch!! You are very passionate about growing and I can feel that through your videos, as well as a couple of videos where you've gotten teary-eyed about things that are close to your heart. I too am also very passionate about growing. I am an amateur Gardener; I've been doing it for about four or five years now, and my question is about regenerating soil; should I use wood chips or should I use the leaf and stick mulch from my yard? I am very much interested and also implementing no-till gardening so that is a determining factor in your answer and thank you again sir.. truly, Daniel in Colorado

15:19 "They know how something about farming that we don't; put em' to use!"
35:00 Woah I'm bothered by that spider!

TIL weed hunters

I can't see why you felt that this farm was worth 41 minutes of any ones time. It is so mismanaged and under productive that it is offensive. Even thou I totally disagree with the farming methods of the factory farm you showed first, at least people are showing up each day and working a plan that feeds many people. This farm? And how long have they been at it and how many acres are they wasting? I bet that you produce more food that people consume in your suburban back yard than these guys do! With less labor and land too! This farm is a joke.

While I appreciate your videos and your commentary in them, why don't you incorporate the farmers themselves and their dialogue in these video along with what you have to say? I would really love to 'meet the farmers' and get their insights on certain things. Keep up the great videos!
