So far I am enjoying your series, but you can save your back and a lot of work if you invest in a broad fork. No looking back once you invest in some good tools. You can find references to the broad fork in Eliot Coleman's books and you can find them online at many places or you can check out Johnny's Seeds. Looking good so far!

i have tried this method before and it is back breaking work. especially the first couple of years so i have worked out a method that uses the double digging principle and along with that of ruth stout. i'm working on a video to post. but basically you roto till you entire garden and then you mark out your beds. then you take the dirt from the walk ways and throw it on the beds. i've done this for a couple of years and the results is fine.

I wish my soil was that easy 2 dig.

Really glad you're doing these videos, man, but you have got to wear better shoes, or you're going to ruin your feet! Loose, wide, flat sneakers are NOT proper work equipment! Please take care of this guy who's making the difference in our world.

we use the soil evacuated from the first trench to fill the last trench in the bed...thanks for this "espose"...it is wonderful

I like long handled spades and, forks myself.

That shoveling looks like it is hell on your back.. That is why I made raised beds, no more digging for me!

It does seem like a great deal of labour... I am wondering if on future plots, could you use a chicken-tractor to manure and clear weeds/seeds, followed by a rotation of deep-rooted legumes like broad beans (slashed to the ground as they begin to flower) to help do some of the work for you? Just an idea, coming from a permaculture perspective.

yes yes... there are many ways to generate food for people while staying in touch with nature and caring for the body... this method is especially designed for "mini-farming", generating maximum calories on minimum land, and having it be sustainable... ultimately, it isn't as labour oriented as it might seem... especially when we have friends to work with! Check out "how to grow more vegetables" to see how this method contributes to the possibility of feeding people.
