JM signed my copy of the market gardener on Gabriela island in 2014. My wife and I were wwoofing on Vancouver Island at the time. We will be moving to the island in the summer of 2025 to live and work on a friends farm in Lake Cowichan. The dream is still alive and this guy is part of that inspiration. Thanks JM for keeping on keeping on💪🏽

[@cindyhingley]

I was 49 yrs young when I first discovered your work. I'm putting your info to work here in (chilly) Northern Alberta. I hope you keep sharing for a long time. Many thanks 😊

[@luisfinke419]

Please JM, can you make an extra video about growing your herbs? That would be super interesting! Here too, the planting distances are much smaller than in normal cultivation.

[@losquesosdelgallegoloshorn750]

Desde Argentina quería felicitar tu labor y pedirte que no abandones!!! Es importante lo que haces ,nosotros aquí también tenemos una granja de cabras y huerta, es duro y difícil pero,tenemos que resistir a los robots que vienen en camino , las tuercas no comen pero el ser humano nos necesita. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@yetithruhiker9230]

Thank you, JM. I love your book but it is wonderful to actually see your farm and how it has evolved over the years.

[@karasu6541]

Another amazing video. Thank you all for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.

[@spacemanspiffy6596]

JM, your my Elliot Coleman, I hope to come visit one year. For my Bday this year I got your book =)

[@mudwellies1]

You mentioned black tarps but I think you mean black plastic?? Is there specific type or thickness of black plastic you recommend? I put down black plastic one year and left it out too long and had a million plastic pieces in garden.

[@simoneserraglini731]

Qualcuno per cortesia mi può consigliare dove posso comprare una grelinette buona,costa tanto e non comprare una schifezza grazie

[@daljitsingh8857]

Growing tomatoes on the same place often creates nematodes at my farm in India !!!
Have you ever face it.
Waiting for your reply

[@UknowSim]

Bioorganic plastic I assume, how can I reduce it? What are alternatives?

[@fabianschwaiger4505]

Perfect French! (Or English if you are French)

[@daniel-i9x6u]

Where do you buy the pelleted chicken manure that you use on your beds?

[@ktreznin5538]

How do you feel about mowing lawns?

[@wildfish4ever]

Awesome stuff JM and Maudeline.

[@rachelstark2391]

Greetings,
Tomato crop rotation?
Cheers,

[@merci322]

Very much loving reading your fantastic book and ideas to create healthy life goals. Best of wishes to you all.

[@josephgiangrande9892]

Awesome farm l. I lost all my greenhouses and both children. I need a hand up here at Joe The Grower in Poughquag NY.

[@MrSlaughterrific]

But where is your rocket launcher and shovel

[@LemonCheesePie-uk8iy]

I know, right?

[@doncook3584]

Great work great story thank you from Omaha Nebraska. Home gardener. Life is empty without a garden to care for

[@barbaravanerp4598]

Deer are one giant insect!

[@markbaumgardner3760]

I like the t-shirt your wearing, I can't find it under Growers & Co???

[@briansakurada2823]

I'm trying to replicate your work to some extent in Japan, where absolutely nobody believes it can be done on a small scale. I'm going into my third year full-time and I really appreciated the commentary on this tour. I got frustrated last winter seeing your new big farm and Neversink and all these hugely successful run like a machine farms that I want to be like, and it just felt like I was failing. You reminded us here that this is not to brag, it's to show what's possible. Sometimes it's easy to forget that you and Connor have decades building these beautiful systems and are just showing us what is possible to grow the revolution.

[@duncaneisenslade2381]

Read the one straw revolution it's a Japanese book about regenerative growing

[@briansakurada2823]

@@duncaneisenslade2381 natural farming is not as successful and common in Japan as people in other countries think. It’s kinda seen as woo farming by the consumers which is why I try to differentiate my farm from natural farms even though I do use a lot of natural farming methods.

[@ktreznin5538]

Is your area in Japan the same climate zone?

[@jordanpierre1095]

Bonjour de France Mr Martin =)
J'admire vos partage vidéo pour vôtre travail en maraichage sur petite surface. Je suis jardinier amateur, & cela fait 3 Ans que je pratique vos méthode sans travail du sol. J'habite en Normandie & j'ai une Terre très Argileuse donc dur dur de travailler avec. Je plante petit a petit des Haie comestible en tout genre & des arbres fruitier tout en gardant un sol vivant avec des engrais vert & pailler toute l'année. J'ai acheter tout vos livres & je me cultive également sur Verre de Terre production, & j'ai même visionner vos émission de la Ferme de la Grelinette. Et tente cette année un jardin d'hivers qui me semble compliqué a mettre en place. Ma fois continuer a nous partager vôtre passion depuis le Québec ;) A bientôt & bon courage. Bye Bye

[@chrisshepherd8708]

What kind of R&D programs are you dealing with right now?

[@janew5351]

JMs new book will be released Oct. 10, 23 about winter gardening

[@the_Dehner]

Great video, it's nice to see your farm it gives perspective on how things can be done. Same outcome different process.

[@agdayem]

God bless you Jean, you and your wife have been at market gardening for along time now and earn the respect of your community and the online web. I wish you all the best and thank you for the continuous inspiration.

[@yvonnelambert5003]

Merci Jean-Martin pour la vidéo. Tu m'inspires beaucoup à continuer à faire mon jardin à chaque année.

[@garyaroth]

He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights

[@brianery]

i still don't know how to market garden people

[@LemonCheesePie-uk8iy]

You need an air cannon and metallic boots

[@jardinaudiere]

Nice video! Very informative! Regards

[@jeffslife6571]

[@TheMarketGardeners]

I want your hat. Something to sell at terrateck? Wide brims, straw ...
The best I can find (that doesn't die in 4 weeks) is a 8cm brimmed stetson ...

[@trevorzelensky6340]

That's the brandywine straw hat! Sold by Growers and Co
