I have not used this hoe in a long time and it will not be used at the new farm. See how this relates to not having weeds on your farm or in your garden.

I can only dream of your beds. I don't think I start with the same tilth but I can certainly tell you my seeds grow very slowly and the weeds grow very fast. It is hard to know whether you are taking out the crops in the early stages and by then I have weeds which break off when you try to remove them A row of carrots usually results in a dozen actual plants.
I tried to put bigger stuff like tomatoes in holes burnt into weed mat which seemed to do the trick. However during the night foxes came and destroyed most of the plants. One fifty foot bed they decided was an adventure playground and ran up and down trampling everything in sight. The only intact bed is protected by aluminium hoops covered in weed cloth and chicken wire. Naturally doing this everywhere will be very time consuming and expensive and I am not confident that it would hold out after seeing what they have destroyed in the past.
…..that's what's up !! dig the skinny 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Get the offset 4×2 head.
We are still learning but only really use three weeding tools now. A home made wire tool(s) on a long bamboo handle, and a flame weeder / gas torch, and traps. Much easier than where we were 2 years ago.
Perfect that you have a ladybug crawling around on your chest.
You had me when you said, "Weed when you don't have any weeds.". 🤔? Oh ok. He's for real. 🤯. The lights are on now. 💡 Thank you Mr. Sattin. 😀
I'm really trying to get my head around the no till thing, probably like many gardeners/small farmers. I don't like what plastic does to the soil, and I'm surrounded by hay fields. I think the more I cultivate like you demonstrated the more hospitable the soil is for weed seed. Any advice on how to begin this journey in my environment?
Awesome video! Thank you for this. I have weeds but I'm not tarping. So I know my next buy. Hi Gene. 👋👋
I didn't catch, how do you control weeds?

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
Nice vid.
What are you using to take out your out your salad mixes in a bed flip then?
Impressive
i wish my farm would be weedfree but it overgrows me every year and i dont know what to do 🙁
also the 70 hp traktor with mulchmower i lend doesnt get rid off all.
Josh, love your videos but I have a question. The tilfer (not sure about spelling) is basically a 1" tiller I think. Why not use a tiller set at 1"? I have a small tiller already.
how do you keep wood chip from getting into your planting bed?
I will stick with my stirrup/scuffle/action hoes
But thank for crop bedding idea
I like your setup will follow you in future Insha Allah.
So – I might have given you one way to save a good bit of time – but DAMN! I was looking at collinear hoes, but the way you use it is game changing. I've got 675 linear feet of bed (15 25 foot rows, and 300lf along the perimeter fence – I counted after commenting about your weed torch guy 😀 ) – and this is going to save me a TON of time! Judging by your drone shots, you've got something like 3000lf of just beds – plus hedge rows, plus 2 greenouses so when you said 1 hr / month my spidey senses tingled!
I LOVE Neversink Farms. I didn't know he sold tools! I'm going right NOW to go look at those wire hoes. They look a little more task specific than the collinear, but I might get one of those too (or instead of the collinear).
Lots of visible soil. Anywhere I see soil I see solar energy not being harvested by plants. I like to broadcast legumes and edibles so all soil has a living root
New at this. So the Oscillating Hoe is for clearing the area of weeds and grass you plan on having a garden. Then use a different hoe once your garden is established to rid of weeds and cultivate?
Love your video ! And, the little ladybug on your shirt seems to love you as well.
Just found you guys, and binging now…SUBBED! 🙂
We live in Alaska, the land of the midnight sun…so weeding is honestly an every-other-day chore during the days when the sun does not set. It has always been a LOT of work…until now I'm betting! Thank you so much for all this information!
QUESTION FOR YOU: At 1:51 you mentioned using a silage tarp and then you said you build some sort of beds – it sounded like "lasagna". What in the world are you referring to there??!! What is a silage tarp, and what is a "lasagna bed" – if I heard you correctly.
wind and airborne seeds in my area still bring weed seeds into my walkways. I covered the ground with landscaping fabric to prevent them from growing
Thanks!
You should give yours to me then. I’ll pay the shipping.
Great video- what do you think of the BGT-Basic garden Tool, would love your opinion of it, Thanks
What type of mulch do you have around your plants? Thank you
great video, thanks! I have limited hand strength and scoliosis-related lower back and scapular problems. Looks like the stirrup hoe won't work for me, but it would work for someone to help me with initial clearing, and then I could keep it up with the co-linear hoe. I want to do pretty simple tasks, like clear a strip of grass in which to plant plants that need support, near a fence. Weed whacking doesn't take out weeds!
It would have been nice to see the collinear tool your talking about.
Thanks for showing me these hoes. I really like the dutch hoe. But just bought the scuffle hoe for my weeding jobs. Most of my clients call me when their weeds start getting big. Having the scuffle just gives me piece of mind that I will have a strong reliable hoe to tackle most jobs in a quick and efficient manner.
4:38 is that really enough to prevent weeds from taking root and growing?
Dr. Elaine says if you have weeds your Soil Food Web isn't correct. LOL Back in the dark ages of the 1980s on an organic farm we used old fashioned metal vacuum cleaner tubes with a blade secured to one end. Nice thing was the tubes clipped together to extend length for tall people. Plus the blade could butt right up against most plants and do no harm.
Yes it can be frustrating having too many hoes to run up and down your bed. That stirrup does look like an aggressive hoe. Which is the best hoe for general home use? Are they expensive?
Good job
That's so smart! Weeding before there are weeds!
Haven't find any in my country so instead of buying overseas via amazon I'll have it made from local blacksmith will see how it will come out 😄
Made in Slovenia❤ the best
I don’t like the rakes is not my first time gardening but this helps! Also have much sycamore seeds so. That’s good to know!
"take care of the weeds before you have any weeds" brilliant. love this.
The end of the hoe was out of shot dumbass.
Unless ur doing gardening for a living ull always use a stirrup. The gardens in ur backyard will never be this easy and nice and if they r u should start doing it for a livin
Hoave you heard about the ducs plow? What do you think of them?
It would have been better to show the tools working up close instead of a wide shot of you talking but otherwise it was ok.
