Great Info.
This is awesome. Looking forward to your online training. Is your book online? I am in the U.S.
Richard, where do you buy the tools in Sweden?
What website did you buy the packaging cardboard? im also based out of Sweden
Thanks for sharing. Are you aware that Charles Dowding's recent trials show that beds with no use of broad fork are producing better yields than beds with use of broad fork?
Do you have some links to toolshops?
What great info. Thanks1
Richard. Can you tell me where you bought the rake? I can't find anything like it in The Netherlands.
I really want your book Richard, am in the uk

What's with the woodchips in the walking paths Richard Perkins?
Is this a Back 2 Eden Garden / Market Garden Farming Hybrid?
I hope so because that's what I'm attempting.
Richard, is planting directly into the compost not too "hot" for some plants? Too much nitrogen?

Just been told about you from Northern Ireland gardener Barry – well impressed, this is really rather good!! AND you are a rock dust convert…. 5.16 minutes in!
When you are first building the beds do you pull cardboard under the wood chips or just under the compost.
lots of information on how you prepare the beds here but do you have a video on how you actually set up the cardboard and compost. Also how long does it take for the cardboard to break down? does it happen over the 1st winter. I guess I want to ask if the cardbord is problem when you at "forking" the bed to airate it. How deep is the compost over the cardboard. Thanks
what a beds 🙂 like a dream.. i would love to see you working with that broad-fork in our garden where roots from old wallnut tree were so shallow that i accidentally bent my fork countless times. good approach though!
All of Richard's tools can be purchased here: http://www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/
The Meadow Creature broadfork for those who can get them in NA are quite superior to the classic Coleman broadfork Richard is using here. They don't have the weak point between wood handle and base which is where these break.
Where can we buy strong trays in Europe?
What about if your soil has termites would you still encourage cardboard give advice
Greqt technique. Doesnt the broadfork mess up the layer of cardboard?
👍👍👍👍👍
How do you measure a solid in litres?
We need this in The Netherlands. Current farmers kill everything, and start to deny that they killed everything. Really no good situation.
Thanks Richard for the useful info. One question I have is in regards to your compost planting. Are the plants growing directly in the compost? Or do the roots grow down into the topsoil? Again thank you for your efforts and knowledge.
love your work… pray to god for your progress and if i could also follow my passion in India… which is farmiy like you do…
Thank you.
I don’t understand the purpose of the cardboard under the beds, anyone know?
Operation Market Garden Tools:
pair of Sten Mk V submachine guns
a Browning 9 mm Hi-Power pistol
Enfield No. 2
Does anyone know where I can purchase the rolls of cardboard Mr. Perkins is referring to-(the cardboard he covers his beds with). Thank you
Where are the notes mentioned in the video

is it counter productive tilting the soil then compacting it back down?
no names of the tools or where to find them/what to look for.. from the videos ive seen of this guy hes an advocate for doing farming in this way because its better but yet locks any information behind a $150 pay wall..
There are projects on how to do this on the Woodglut website.
Great tip about installing new no dig beds in autumn.
