Excellent videos Richard thank you both very educational and well presented. What type of hoe was the long handled one(not the oscillating one) please? Also we are in UK did you import the American tools from the USA or is there somewhere in Europe they can be bought from?
I appreciate and love the way you explained each and every piece of equipment with tips. Thank you. Going to your website now!
Thanks for sharing your experiences and strategies! Very inspiring! Some questions:
What is the process behind calsium helping to avoid nitrogen lockup?
What is your strategy to keep the paths free from weeds in the longrun?
And what is your strategy to keep the raised beds from floating out in the paths and mix up with the woodchips?
Where do you source the rockdust? Have you found any swedish quarry with suitable rock?
Hälsningar från Stjärnsund!
Where did you buy the tools?
Where might I find some of the cardboard you mentioned (in Part 1) ?
Do you use a tool to weed your wood mulched paths? I have not found anything suitable to use on coarse material like that. Stirrup hoe is my weeder of choice but does not work well on wood mulch
Thanks for the excellent videos, Richard!
I am also looking into the no-dig method, and live in Sweden at your same latitude. Where did you buy the arched wires? I am looking for various items but have no idea of their names. The closest I found is "4mm vajer" at the chain Jula!
Thanks
Love it!
May I give a suggestion? I don't know your measurements (ie: meter, centimeters, etc). In future videos, could you please also mention the English measurements, including the money? Thanks.
A couple times you mentioned we'd find something "in the notes", but they weren't there. Could you add them? Thanks.
Great info!
Thanks a lot… Subscribed
Super helpful! Thank you for sharing!!
How deep is your initial added compost on top of cardboard? It seems like you're broadfork would poke holes in cardboard and defeat the purpose.
mesclun is the provencal word for mixture.
just putting it out there.
Lots of folks saying mesclun mix, which means mixture mix haha
Richard I am happy to see another hard working motivated farmer, excellent short & comprehensive video, just wanted to say thank you really tc 🖐️
Where do you purchase the 4mil wire,and what gauge wire do you use?
@1:40 What is the name manufacturer of this 6-row-seeder? Available in Europe?
Hi, interesting tools. Do you have a link to order those from? Thanks
Always comical to me that Europeans call salad mix mesclun, which is a proper name for it, but ironically pronounced identically to mescaline, a psychoactive cactus common in the Americas.
