No Till Organic Gardening Using Natural Waste And Yard Compost

[Reximusprimebeta]

You don't need to add nitrogen if you rotate nitrogen fixing crops.

no such thing as weeds just unwanted green mulch

this guy is smart.

Please remember that many of these hatefully named weeds are actually highly medicine plants from God purposely created to the persistent because they're highly important against dis-ease such as Dandelion and Plantain etc. Do your studying on these weeds and the reversal of serious problems like Cancer. This is another reason your brainwashed into hating dandelions. The Worshipful Company of Apothecaries wants to profit from your misery then death.

Remember your urine produces nitrogen

Good job on your video I liked it very much!

I was always taught to remove all of last years residue so that no plant virus or disease gets put back into the soil. If you just leave, lets say any cole grop to root on the ground you can overwinter both pests and disease even if you rotate your crop you still infest your garden. How do you control that?

[marchetta67]

Very good explanation of the no-till process. Even a city-slicker like me can understand it. Thanks Doc.

[4micaman]

Good explanation on no-till and how you "jump start" the soil with the first tilling in of organic matter... Leaves, compost, manure, lime. If an IBM guy can do it... anyone can. JK ;)

Another alternative to manure is rotating with cover crops. Turnips and Lentils both fix nitrogen (add it to the soil) and as a bonus, you can harvest them for some deliciously good eats. Clover is another good nitrogen fixing cover crop though I've never tried to eat any of them. ;)

@4micaman thanks again. our next door neighbor farms over 600 acres of organic tobacco ( sorta an oxymoron isn't it??? :), and rotates with lentils between crop years. thanks.

[4micaman]

@medfaxx It is indeed an oxymoron. I guess if there's a need for tobacco though, organic would be the way to go. I'll be sure to check out more of your videos in the near future.

This was a very good method to no tilling. If we look at forests and jungles, the natural mulch there are the leaves falling down. In essence, all farming needs to be done this way, mimicking natural methods that occur within the ecosystem.

God bless you.. I'm surprized the chemical companies have not knocked you off.

[medfaxx]

Thanks Patricia - you've tweaked my interest and now I'm googling "lasagna gardening" to find out more. Sign up for our, mostly weekly, herb tips on the web site and see what tips are in there. I got a feeling you could be adding lots of good stuff to that list!! Off to find your book.

[patricialanza]

Great video but you only got it half right. You talk about not digging then go on to tell about all the digging and tilling you do. Try it my way: Lasagna Gardening, No Digging, No Tilling, No Weeding, No Kidding! I promise you will love it.

If you rotate your crop, you can plant legumes or clover to put nitrogen back into the ground.

ANTI-OXIDATION IS THE KEY!

p.s. the photosynthetic bacteria present in EM-1 are "nitrogen fixing"

[theprofits13]

@88simran I've gotta question, if you compost in a vacuum would it still work?

[88simran]

@theprofits13 My first thought is that a vacuum is void, so what would u b composting? Say u put balanced carbon and nitrogen sources together in a vacuum and introduced the proper biology to the mix, my thought is that gases will form and some form of composting will occur (possibly even thermophilic). Try it and let me know!

[88simran]

@theprofits13 by definition a vacuum has no particles. Since this is also described as impossible, i will say that i think compost of organic matter will occur. what combinations of matter and what life is present, decomposition must occur!

[theprofits13]

@88simran wow this was so long ago but thanks :]

[88simran]

speaking of ʻHealth in the soilʻ and ʻno till farmingʻ, have you herd of EM technology? living life in the soil!!!

thank you!!!!! for getting this info out!

Joseph is right that earthworms recycle available nutrients into nitrogen. Rain and snow also get some nitrogen out of the air. He could try not adding nitrogen in year 2 and thereafter and see how it goes. My experience has been that our vegetables appear to remove more nitrogen than these sources can replace.

I thought that earthworms create nitrogen.
