  • We are finally back to visit with our favorite market gardener & friend, Jim Kovaleski, at his winter location in New Port Richey, Florida. Jim is known for breaking the rules of convention & this video highlight is no exception. This time around, we get to follow along with his morning routine of harvesting, packing & transporting his incredible produce that comes straight from his front yard by bicycle to the local health food store only 3 blocks away.
    To see the full collection of videos with Jim, you can find the full playlist here - bit.ly/2Lds1Uv
    This nomadic market gardener has created a life of joy & purpose, influencing an entire community of growers throughout the Tampa Bay area, all while making an income to meet his own needs. Jim has been a pivotal role model of ours since 2011, not long after we first began to grow food. We can genuinely say that he was a significant catalyst for change in our lives & we owe the foundation of our success to Jim's influence.
    We have condensed down countless hours of footage to create a 10-hour video course featuring 6 Modules & 68 Lessons:
    Grass-Fed Vegetables
    Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries & Many More Cold Climate Fruits
    The Art of the Scythe: Everything You Need to Know
    Annual & Perennial Polycultures
    Planting Grids for Esthetics + Intensive Planting
    Tangible Planning & Site Analysis
    Challenging Permaculture Technique
    Land Connections & Observation
    Hugelkultur vs. Hugeleski?
    Seeds & Starts: Suggested Varieties
    Soil Blocks 101: Step-by-Step, Unique Ingredients, Planting Instructions & More Tips
    Crop Circle Squash & Other Unique Methods for Growing Potatoes, Melons, Garlic & Onions
    Books & Resources
    Specialty Equipment & Tools That Work Forever
    Harvesting & Market Preparation
    Connecting to the Community & The Land
    Journal & Record Keeping
    Farmers' Market Display Tips & Packaging Concepts
    If you want to learn more about our online course with Jim:
    www.thegrassfedmarketgarden.com
    Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a little town just outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. Then in early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same plan.
    Jim creates his own evolving adaptations; a mixture of pure refined classic agriculture (the scythe), techniques passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth & the intrinsic download from living with the land & slowing down enough to read it's own suggestions.
    He is able to make an honest living doing this very thing he loves so much. His days bring him joy, purpose, connection & peace. The insights & techniques he has collected are invaluable. He plants, harvests, preps & markets in a way that naturally flows & the whole natural farming process is just waiting to be shared with you.

Why let people live free when you can keep them penned in a big city like cattle and give them debts and jobs to pay those debts. Then you can give them enough superficial amenities to have them believe it was all worth it, and get them to raise the next wave just the same. Civilisation can be both tremendous and beautiful but also dark, squalid and reductive to the human spirit outside of its natural habitat.

      Just an advice: if you haven't done intensive hardening like this, know that it is physically demanding. HOWEVER, your body may feel the workout at the beginning of the season (especially if you haven't been active prior to the growing season), but in a few weeks you become stronger and a month later you're super fit and feel no strain at all working long hours (if need be, depending on the size of your garden).

    • @katnip2u
      @katnip2u 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Mulch! Retains moisture, when broken down provides nutrients, stops weeds, and keeps the soil cool for the plants AND BENEFICIAL critters, including worms, who fertilize your soil for the plants. If the whole organism of the garden is happy and balanced, sickness and even bad bugs don't strike or do minimal damage. It's the same as with humans: when you're run down and your immune system is weak, the same bug that doesn't affect others gets you sick. Also, companion planting helps to prevent bugs from finding a host. Making the garden inviting for beneficial insects and birds who eat the bad bugs helps too. If you have chickens, feed them only garden scraps in the afternoon/eve and starve them for protein and then release them for the last hour or two of day light into your fully ESTABLISHED veggie garden (one just like Jim's, not a freshly planted one, where the chickens would scratch out, trample, snack on .. young seedlings)--they'll clean it of bugs, slugs, etc in no time.

There should be gardens all over the world. Fruit trees for miles colorful thing's growing every where. No one should ever go hungry. No one should not have too depend on a 9 to 5 just too be able too afford food. And I'm not speaking of blood food's or process food's that is not soul food. Soul beings eat colorful food's. Much love brother, and what a great love for that you do.
