I was waiting for you to taste it like Joel from Polyface Farms.
Great little video, Thank you!
Thankyou Luke, for all you do and teach. God bless.
Thank you Luke and crew! We got so much from this!
Once you get over a couple acres a pto spreader and a couple dozen bags of 20-20-20 is really the only practical way to amend soil
Thank you for this valuable information.
Thanks for addressing this issue…an unknown to me but after garden failures I need to attend to science
Thank you for posting Luke. I just got done helping a neighbor who has very very sandy soil, and she was wondering about testing her soil and what she can do with the sand which I told her in compost and helped her fill. Her compost bin brought her some manure for nitrogen to get it going, but then when I got home, saw your videos and recommended she give him a watch she supposed to, thank you.
I love the fact that you are doing this for the first time on the farm and taking us with you lol
Good easy ways to learn about our soil!
Excellent vid thanks for the info will definitely help with my garden
Good information Also, would you do a video on how or where to get soil testing for environmental contaminants that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? More and more people are running into chemical spills from nearby manufacturing plants and h government is ignoring it. The EPA should be testing (we pay our a money for that already) but they aren't.
I never knew there was so much stuff to do to grow proper food for our family. There is more than planting the seeds. Keeping the weeds out. Harvesting and preserving.
Did you start out over at @JustinRoades channel.
When adding cow manure check for Grazon.
When I first moved to my property, the soil was mostly clay. I added truck loads of woodchips and over time, kept that up until after a couple of years, the soil is much better.
Excellent video Luke! Thanks 🙂
While I agree with your premise, the plants that already grow well clues you in to what is below. It's easy to over think the process, but the bottom line is to learn to read what's on top to know what's underneath. And then you can discern what style of management would be most advantageous.
core samples on my property are a lost cause. 6 inches down is a thick layer of rocks varied in size up to about7 inches long. the guy who dug our post holes(with a ride on machine auger) said that in all his years of digging holes, ours was the worst he'd ever had to do. So I rototilled the soil and made raised beds. I couldn't dig a big enough hole to plant my peach tree so I ordered a circular metal raised bed for it. It's almost as bad as living in the city with a cement back yard. I filled the beds with a mix of free compost from our township and mushroom soil. Things grew like crazy in it.
We moved into our house 3 years ago and the entire area is clay. Its been hard work reworking that soil, but we are dinally getting to 2 ft deep of nice black soil full of nutrients. I put down homemade compost, leaf mulch, bokashi, and branches etc.
