i'm a long time gardener (3 decades) and have been "chop & drop"ing the whole time...who knew it had a name? One thing to touch on (for your viewers) is to make sure what you are chopping and dropping doesn't have any seed in it.... unless it's Heriloom/Heritage/OP and you want to plant the same thing, in the same place for next year...that said I love it when being lazy works to my benefit! Microclimates are so important to understand, even in our own gardens. I'm in zone 8B (Oregon) but I am 100 FEET away from a 9A microclimate.....crazy. Finally Fermenting cabbage is one of the easiest ferments to start with. I do them in Mason Jars or full size crocks...wonderful, also green beans (fermented), Asparagus (fermented) wonderful, would love to see your method
@jacquesinthegarden
8 ай бұрын
It is probably the method people have been using since we started farming but now it does have a nice name with a ring to it! It is a good point about seeds and also In the future I will mention to avoid chopping and dropping anything that easily roots from cuttings. Microclimates are the wild card to everyone's zone map and for important to figure out what you are working with.

A lot of the challenge at the start is allowing your ecosystem to develop. You will always have some amount of losses but fighting back with sprays generally makes the problem worse.

If you give your garden time it will come to a natural balance!

Hi Jacques! Good episode - am surprised about your frost - I lived in Southern California 15 years (Lake Forest and Mission Viejo) back in the 70s and 80s and never saw a frost. Climate must be changing, right? The reason I write here is to ask - do you ever get pocket gophers in your yard? If so, then how do you get rid of them? Your produce is gorgeous!
@jacquesinthegarden

The frost is something I've at least observed at this house for the past 2 years, but it's not a very common occurrence . This part of the yard happens to be the lowest the most shadowed in the morning and it's also where the wind blows in from the coast. So all those things together just create colder conditions more conducive to frost.
