How I Build My Beds
• It's Bed Time
30"x50' beds
12"-18" walkways (whatever you prefer)
Cover the ground with a silage tarp or graze with animals until all the weeds are killed. Broadfork, put down cardboard, wet the down the cardboard, add 4-5" of compost in the beds and put wood chips in the walkways. This turns out to be about 2.5 cubic yards of compost per 30"x50' bed. I buy commercially made compost and get my wood chips from local tree companies for free.

He must have won the lottery. Did you see that pile of lumber? XD congratulations
Who ever planted lumber couple years ago is sitting on gold right now
Good stuff Josh! Excited to see Jesse give a tour of his next new farm in another couple of years 😂
haha! Shooting for at least five on this one, Gabriel!
I want that hoodie
Fun fact about this video, this is only one of many we shot that weekend!
Love that Farmacist hoodie! Do you all have any shirts with that?!
Alright! Anxiously awaiting more videos!
Where did you source those black barrels?
@@yurinosenko3151 We have. a giant container store about 30 minutes from here, so I just called them and they would tell me when they had some good, 35 gallon barrels that were food safe (did not previously contain chemicals). Pickle barrels wind up on craigslist a lot too
@@brandonfoy9583 We used to make them! Not currently available, unfortunately.
Congrats Jesse frost on the new place and Josh your doing a great job on your place,,, thanks for sharing
I always enjoy Farmer Jesse Videos!👍🤙✌
"What'd you say about my farm?" Perfect!
Thanks for the update on Jesse and his new farm. He gave me things to consider and think about in terms of trying new things. Always appreciate your videos from other peoples' farms.
Thanks for the tour Josh and Jesse. Looks great!
Been running 4ft wide 50ft beds, 18 inch pathways for 3 years and thought it worked really well. Glad to see someone convert over. You can really get a lot more in those wide beds and for harvest and planting reasons you really need an 18 inch plath or you'll be mashing plants in the next bed sometimes. Geat video!
Nice farm. Thanks for sharing.
Good video Josh. Was nice to see Jesse new place.
Hey, love the "get to know your farmacist hoodie"
Any chance you're willing to share where to source one like that? :)
Epic content! Love it
Great vid, Josh. Can’t imagine moving a farm so many times and the work involved. Hope they were all nearby each other. Outtakes were 👍.
Good idea on growing bed, thanks for info. Good luck with moving farm. Jerry from NE Ar .
The drawback to setting everything up on a 48” bed which probly won’t affect Jesse as much as he moves around but for the rest of us that are more of your typical farmers and will be at our farms for life but Jesse won’t be this young and energetic as he is now and won’t always be able to jump across beds and reaching across or to the center of a 48” bed will not be easy. It doesn’t sound like it would be that hard but trying to balance and reach when your older is not easy like when your 35.
I don’t understand why someone in this industry would want to move so many times tho. Sure, physically moving things isn’t that tough when your young. But, there are so many things that we put into a farm that can not be moved!! We do so many improvements to our souls that I can’t imagine walking away from all that work and having to start from scratch every 2 1/2 years. This is why family farms used to be in the family for 100-200 years but times are a changing anymore
I love farms, think all stuff is better over there, Air, Water, nice video regards from Perú
You are goods guys thank you
VERY interesting!!! Like the bed width and path way discussions. I am strongly considering 36 inch beds and 24 inch paths. Somewhere I listened to the 'edge effects' I am thinking of planting 36 inch wide bed like a 30 inch wide bed
Well done!
AWESOME JOSH
You mentioned with going to 4' rows you have to build in cross over pathways. I have gone to 4 foot rows but I'm so tight for space i did not want to lose that cross over space to a pathway. So my thought was to add a stepping stone, (cinder block or patio stone, or even a rock) in the center of the 4' bed every once in awhile so I can easily step over. Also less pathway maintence. Every little bit helps.
Good info!
Jessie!
About the hay, check out Jim kovaleski. He is a market farmer who uses a scythe to harvest hay to mulch his grass fed no till beds.
Vids on youtube.
Love Jim and I've been using grass past two years with sucess. Just got my scythe a month ago. 😁 Love seeing Jesse set up new farm so quickly too!
@@cpnotill9264 Awesome, y'all. Thanks fro the tip
Woot woot
Now heres one we've all been waiting for
So when they move..Do they just leave all the soil they have put in ?
So where are you living now? I'm moving to wake forest. I can not find anything like your talking about. I have 6 Chickens and 3 Ducks that I love so much and 3 dogs.
So what is the surface of the market garden? thanks
I don't know maybe I missed it in some of your videos was there a reason you got rid of the sheep?
Nias, Indonesia
How did he go from buying the property in December, to plants in the ground and dozens of beds in just 5 months??
What kind of hearter did you use for the tunnel?
Has that piece of machinery been invented? A mower/edger?
Another great video! What's Jesse's last name? I've seen him on Facebook but I can't remember.
Frost
@@lisamadison2671 Thank you Lisa!
is there somehwere i can purchase one of those "no-till" hats????
im hoping to move my farm after summer 2022
Why don’t you do 36 inch beds?
Assuming the barrels filled with water for thermal mass?
Yes.
Hey we’re those barrels empty or filled with water?
Likely water, since it has much more heat capacity to stabilize temperatures (that's their job).
👍👍👍👍👍
Let's see. ALL of our infrastructure and ALL of our tooling and ALL of our implants and ALL of our water solutions are set-up for 30" beds, so let's go to 48" beds?
You guys are awesome thanks for all the inspiring content! Checkout my farm on the west coat of Canada, @the.backwoodsfarm . We switched to no till after 7 years in big part because of your content
