Regarding the "Asian squat," I can suggest that any morning exercise system already a part of one's daily routine should easily accommodate a painless squatting and stretching aspect that will rapidly make squatting more comfortable. After time, as JM says, you can do it longer, and eventually all day. I'm 60 and it makes me feel great when I do it, whether in vegetable rows or trimming willow stumps at ground level, or some other task that can keep me in one spot without moving or rising 15 minutes or more without discomfort, numbness, or weakness. My knees are bad, too, but squatting is comfortable, though it took time and daily discipline.
Thank you so much for sharing! My partner and i wanna make a difference in providing good food for our communites. We want to be self sufficient and be able to take care of our own family. We are on our way to try farming this year. We appreciate so much your content and this open information.
Great Content. I have Jean-Martins book. This video really fleshes it out. Doing all of the grading and drainage systems on the outset makes too much sense. Thanks for sharing this information so freely.
These videos are great! Thanks for sharing. I am getting more interested in farming lately. I think growing food is way better than organic landscaping!
I've had a bad back injury, and what JM says about the crouching position is very important. One additional point, try to crouch with your heels still in contract with the ground. This is ideal, although very difficult for many people with years of bad posture/reduced flexibility.
Asians can usually do it because, even in a rich country like Japan, at school they still use the old fashioned hole-in-the-floor style toilets. If you've lost the ability to do it, just keep trying and you'll soon regain the required level of flexibility, and it really benefits your lumbar region.
I would say that Permaculture is interested in perennial crops therefore trying to raise the ground water table where as annual crops are not going to have that extensive root system over years therefore need to have a different drainage approach
In business salaries are expenses, not profit. In this operation once you take out two salaries working full time on the farm you are left with a much smaller real profit ... and even smaller after taxes.
JM talked about crop rotations based on whole sections of multiple beds. Is it possible to achieve the same thing by planting multiple families of crops in the same section and rotating within that section?
What is the elevation of the location you are raising these crops and does it matter since it appears you are doing everything using a greenhouse? Thanks
How can we can get the book? I really happy to see and understanding more detail about it. I am agronomist and planing of Organic vegetable company and work with Agriculture Cooperative due to help contract farming to get success with their farm
+55Herbie1 Hello! Just wanted to point out that Jean-Martin Fortier spoke at a conference organized by NOFA-Vermont, which he generously allowed to be recorded and published on our TH-cam channel. However, it is unlikely he monitors this channel or reads the comments. To contact him directly, I would recommend visiting his website: www.themarketgardener.com/ Best!
Actually you really don't have a french accent. I have more of a accent than you do. I am from south Louisiana. I have cousins in Laval and the other areas around there and I have friends that live there and come down here during the winter. Great vid Mon Ami Plus Tard ~!~~!
I make 40,000 as a single mom, family of 3. So $51,592 is a good amount to live off and even more so when you pick a life style that is not about money and keeping up with buying more and more to impress people. Value of live is better than value of possessions.
In another video he says that basically all of their living expenses are actually covered under business expenses. And in the beginning of the video he says they work March through December. So yes, they don’t make a ton of money, but $51,000 to basically go straight into savings for nine months of work is not awful.
Really nice, I am a huge fan of permaculture. But permaculture annoyed me in the sense that eventhough you can produce just fine with permaculture. IT really isn't geared to the have-nots in the world. I look at Sepp Holtzer and I love it, but we don't all come into the world with a million or 3 in property as a farming family, or just wealthy middle class to upper class families. In that sense I came to find permaculture super unrealistic and to boot their books at my current wealth or better call it poverty are a Bleeping rip-off.
+demammoet One way the have-not can do permaculture is to start out like this guy in rented land (free is a very affordable price) for a year or two to make some money doing his high intensity veggie gardening and then you will have some money to buy some small land. Now on your own small property at the beginning start again with your intensive veggie plantings and slowly transition to perinnials and trees. Eventually you will be able to buy some more land and expand until you have the large acreage you want. If you go to Geoff Lawtons website you can see he make a 5 acres of permaculture abundance video and there is another one of him interviewing a old couple that has a very small farm in Hawaii that did exactly what I decribed to you above. Another idea is to find a old vacant lot in your city and ask the owner if you can farm it to get yourself started. Will Allen has taken parking lots and made compost on them building growing beds 2-3 foot deep of compost just on top of the parking lot. Hope this helps you in some way to move forward in your dream of farming.
Why spend money on books. 99% of the information regarding permaculture is all over TH-cam. Get a bunch of like minded people to work together. Reach out and make it happen. You can do it!

sooooo excited to see this! I just bought your book and now I get to hear you speak! :)
Damn! I should have ditched the girl and the bike and come and volunteer on your farm instead...

I actually refer to it as the "Asian squat" (not my own term, just one I heard) once you figure the balance out, it's really a lot more comfortable.

45% profit margin? Are there any feed, state, local tax breaks? If so, are they included in the margin you're showing? Interesting vid series!
Great presentation. Thanks for sharing this !

Very helpful, Thank you very much, I am in the design process step.
Hi Lewis, how are things going 3yrs later?
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing!
Treat anything like a business....it becomes a business.
Ok so I bought your book, an I had questions about how big your pond was?
Best hat ever, Jean-Martin!
Thank you :) Amazing vides!

I got a broad fork but I need a loan after all I learned from you.. The struggle is real.
start small
J’ai un petit coin de terre 300 pieds carrés mais question c’est qu’est-ce que tu utilises comme engrais?
in case you havent figured it out he probably makes just as much from teaching and courses and speaking as he does from the farm
How did he get the smell out of that rabbit coup?
What is the elevation of the location you are raising these crops and does it matter since it appears you are doing everything using a greenhouse?
Thanks
+55Herbie1 In the video it says he is in Quebec near the St Laurent River. So the elevation is probably close to sea level. You're welcome.
Bravo jeune homme!

What type/brand of drainage tiles did you use?

I thought contour plowing was to prevent soil erosion not to save water?
They go together.

$150,000 Canadian = $114,651 in American dollars (2014); 45% of $114,651 = only $51,592. That is not a good income for 2 people combined.
4000 is not enough per month

Hi, the 45% of profit is after counting their salary, he said
I just want to why the dislike for!!!!!?

Is this book a good place to start for someone who is totally new to gardening?
The book is more about making your garden as efficient and profitable as possible. Definitely get it but it's not gardening 101
@@garrettgagliardi2947 any recommendations for a beginner?
Books, online courses?
@@dbanks128 Pretty much any gardening youtube channel is useful. Charles Dowding is good

For being a native French speaker, Jean-Martin speaks English nearly flawlessly.
😅 43% of people are bilingual.
@Chiari Dude Why is that funny?
45 percent is almost $70,000, so between him and his wife they only make $70,000/ year! That’s terrible!

so you are saying anyone can find free land to rent? Any links?
