This has really opened up my eyes to gardening. I am about to change the way I have been gardening for the past 15 years. It makes so much sense. Bringing what we do in the compost bin out to the plants. Thanks.

Excellent material. Thanks so much Helen and friends. We're using this information to establish our garden on MERC's 10 acre farm on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Helen should be interviewed by ACRES-USA if she hasn't been already.. Key core information for the planet!

Thank you so much for your video. I believe your theory on slow balanced plant nutrition is the key to sustainable gardening both home and commercial applications.

The disease suppression is probably coming from the diverse microbiology that your living mulch and no-till practice is helping to create. Nice Video!

I agree, keeping it in the field, making it part of the rotation so to speak.

You should knock them down to kill them, not mow. On a large enough scale you plant through the downed plants.

I would really like for someone to come over to our side of the Rockies and see if you can get a garden to grow that well over here. I am building fences 8 feet high with wind breakers on them to help break up the wind. Last year the wind just ate our plants, the plants looked like helicopter blades when they came up, and then the garden died due to the wind.

Thank you for these vids! I'm going to start using this method next year. I was wondering how do you think it would work for growing potatoes? Since they normally need to be hilled. Depending on the year, we grow between 1000 and 3000 pounds of potatoes a year. The rows are a tillers width apart. But you couldn't hill them if you used the black plastic. I'd love any suggestions! :)

The compaction is lessened by having the living mulch. Tractors always cause some compaction in farming systems.

So that her hands don't look like a man's. Just because she's a farmer doesn't mean she can't also be a lady.

This is the future and the coming energy crisis(peak oil) is going to teach a harsh lesson for humanity and mostly conventional farmers: no use of animals,no use of chemicals or heavy machinery, cover crop seeds won't be a sustainable model so letting weeds grow as a cover crop

MORNING GARDENER'S SHOW. - For what it's worth weeds are organic material. So more than a problem they're another building block of the system.
