Everyday videos like these from innovative farmers are going to help launch the localized farm movement we need around the world. Thank you for putting this into the universe!
"Optimizing" - this made me smile, because its so Richard! ❤
Absolutely brilliant, instantly prepared beds on a large scale. Doing something similar on a small scale so thank you for sharing. I believe your doing a course in Southern Ireland soon which is where I have just moved to so hopefully will get see more hands on. Thanks
I’d LOVE to have the budget and Perfect land to follow this process. Farming this way looks so luxurious. A pleasure to watch.🙏💕🇦🇺
You don't need to go out the gate like this. I recommend starting with just one bed, it's very cheap to fund, and easy to manage. Work that bed for a season and the profits buy your a 2nd bed. Keep doing this and you'll only have to pay for one bed out of your pocket. Plus you'll gain experience easily, and be able to correct mistakes cheap and easy. It's heartbreaking when you realize you made very expensive mistakes.
You can do this! Remember, buy just 1 bed. Let the profits fund the rest. 🙂
I know, I’m in the Ozarks and my land is hard and full of rocks. I can’t imagine just sticking a shovel in the raw ground lol.
Would love to see a follow-up on how well their first year went
Amazing! Great job!
Brilliant !!!! Thank you
Thanks for teaching us about air pruning. Great concept.
Great Project! Thanks for posting
Great work! 👍😊
Thanks for sharing Richard! 🙏
Looks super-tidy, very nice 👏🏻👏🏻
Simply amazing.
Very cool system! Thanks for the video!
thank you so much as always 🙏
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you. Blessings.
WOW! That's amazing to get all that in in a matter of days... Fantastic!
Fantastic, thank you!
Thank you for your videos and information
Love your method of making a frame for the formation of your beds!!
That little piece of machinery is amazing !!!
This whole video is so satisfying, it’s a dream for me :)
Eighty beds in two days! Amazing! No dig rocks :)
With 4 men, heavy equipment and delivered materials, all goes quick.
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing 💚
This is an amazing way of doing no dig. I am really digging it👏
I love everything about this
Great project.
Lovely people - lovely job done - love you all - live well
Brilliant idea making a form!!
Great work
Thank you for your great video. I shall be following your other ones that’s for sure.
I live in a semi arid, hot-dry-windy summer area. We get 22 +/- centimeters of rain, usually Oct to April, then nothing for summer. I lay down deep mulch around all the plants in March or April to retain as much winter moisture that I can - wood chip in the orchards, straw in the veg beds. I even have straw mulch in the decorative pots I have. Evaporation has decreased dramatically. I have drip irrigation that I run when the soil is dry at about 3 inches down, and deep water less frequently because my soil is now retaining more moisture. I don't have a market garden, but perhaps this will work for them for those months when water is scarce. Also, the farm looks lovely. Hope we can see an update later in the season.
good to know. i'd love to find a channel that goes into no-dig in more arid environments.
@@nickfosterxx Look up Ruth Stout gardening and Core gardening. She would do 8 inches of hay for her garden and after a 2 or 3 years there is so much moisture and nutrients that you don't need to fertilize or add any amendments. I think she would add one amendment when she planted, I forget what it was though.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Love the eye for clean and beautiful look with sharp edges. Makes it look a lot more appealing and advertise able!
This is such a great video that I can use to show people how simple it is to start a garden. Thank you. What a beautiful Scottish farm too.
Im impressed with your patience in teaching others the nodig method,Richard,I like your videos
Very very nice. Would love to see future updates and how this is maintaining.
Thank you informative.
Much easier than digging. Love no dig that’s how I garden now especially as I have a disability. Thank you and thanks to Charles Dowding the knowledge of no dig.
This was excellent information and a fantastic project to watch!
The real testament to this way of growing, is that a brand new just built today farm looks just like Richard's four or more years later 😆👍
The tilt shift drone footage is really cool
So smart using a bed template. Really like the efficiency of this approach!
That loader is awesome, would love to have one. We have skid steers mainly in the US and this seems better
You can’t beat an avant techno, great machines.
Amazing! You made it so simple to prep!!! That would save a lot of time! LOVE to see real work in ACTION! 👍👍👍
Hi ! Love workflow and optimizing movements, I'd really love dedicated videos on this! On harvesting different vegetables for example would be top notch :)
Great video as usual, Im so looking forward to set up my farm like that :) :)
Thanks Richard love you’re videos. This year I grew my largest onions with this method. My other beds couldn’t even compete they just were hard to keep wet.
I love to follow your work but this was about as fascinating as any.
Så vackert!
Depending on crop wanted . This be great for some . And it have to stick to this area for lettuce etc for years to come .
GREAT INFO...
❤️ I wish I could be there 🙏
Beautiful work!! Love it!!I will do the same but with a small vegie garden bed4the frame..😁lifechanging video! Cheers from Australia!
First rate. Thank you.
Bravo
All right Richard. Bought the book. Now hurry up and send it so I can present it in our weekly chat on youtube. I'll be the talk of the town
This is Fantastic to Watch all the Beds being Created quite quickly really by a Very Motivated team being advised by One of the Top experts in the World! Great Work!
Good video
that was sweet to watch, we'll be building our beds much like that, only with recycled boxes; your beds looked terrific, the wood frame is not something i've been doing but i sure see the benefit. i'm making a frame, i think i'll make the beds 20 ft long; start making that standard on our small farm. thanks for the instruction and the insiration.
Thanks for sharing this. This is a very interesting method and has many possible applications. It should work nice here in Ontario Canada where we're in zone 4-5
It’s great to see a different approach to the same product. From here on out, they will need to use wheel barrows. But if I remember correctly, next year is just a top dressing of compost. And by next year they will have mucho worms working everything for free.
Best wishes to a successful growing year!
Perfect! Just what I was wishing for
i made yesterday no dig bed for potatoes with Avant too :D best greetings from Czech republic.
Great job, Richard! Could you tell us, please, where do you get that immense quantity of woodchips from?
That's amazing! How long will these pass between beds last? How do you maintain the passes?
Great Content. Thanks ; )
Thanks for sharing - inspiring! Have you considered peer free soil (lower environmental impact)? Would you recommend soil testing prior to starting in order to calculate how much/what kind of compost is appropriate? Looking forward to following the project
how would you do this on a very hard and pure clay surface? thank you for your amazing wisdom kind sir.
I wish you were near miltonkeynes as would love your advice and help to start a garden! Finding suitable ways to grow from my powerchair is a nightmare!
Pretty much the exact same method I use as well.
I use a wooden template for the beds, a bucket for the woodchip etc.
just don’t use machinery because I’m doing it on allotment plots and not small farms.
It’s time consuming and expensive at the beginning but you save so much time with regards to weeding that it makes it worthwhile a hundred times over.
Not to mention anything you grow will grow really well.
Hope to se the result after this dry summer :)
Why did you add soil on top?
The Final Countdown playing in the background. "I see you're a man of culture as well." +1 like from me
How long would we have to wait before transplanting
Super interesting! Do they have a yt-channel of their own? It would be interesting to follow their journey 😊 Thanks for a great video!
Great if you can source the compost and woodchip.........
I wonder how it is coping with the extreme summer heat this year.
Very nice, would saw dust work instead of wood chips for the walkway?
For the love of pete. 1/3 the soil volume was relocated moved in from a peat bog.
Charles Dowding would be proud!
where do you get the woodchips?
Hi. Thank you very much for this video.
I may have failed it in the vid, but I'm curious about the surface / price / number of person / hours done to prepare the 80 beds?
Thanks ! :)
Could you do this with sunflowers?? I started a small sunflower farm, and I hate all the weeding that needs to be done. I absolutely love this video, thank you, from Canada ❤️
Nice work. My question for you is...what machinery will you use when its time to top up the soil now that every row is tight together?
What do you do if your new beds have been tilled but you want to do no till? Seems like covering with tarp and letting the weed seeds germinate and die would be the best bet. Any insights are appreciated.
Richard, amazing work?
I have a question: how many metric cubics of woodchips and compost was used on this 80 raised beds?
Thanks in advance
Inspirational! If I were 25 years younger..
I built my raised beds in the polytunnel because it's on rock, we left the end of the frame open so we could wheelbarrow straight in and dump. When we were near the end we closed up the frame and shovelled the final few barrow loads.
Thanks for yet again another amazing video.
Hi, thank you for all the info. We are starting a lavender farm in Italy (also olive grove, but that is of course already existing). Do you think this could also be a good method to start our lavender field?
Hello Everybody,
hello Richard
Your work is amazing.
I have been working with your system for 3 years already. Working with mini orchards for restaurants.
Now i would like to create a bigger orchard
I would like to simplify the preparation of the beds
My idea is to make a big bed ( a big blanket) of 15 cm of compost with a tractor. And make it without wood chips paths.
I believe that you can still walk in the compost. And I believe preparation can be much more easy and quick.
When the compost start to be more humid, then I can add some wood chips if I need it, but weeds will be all above the big blanket.
I have never tried, but I would like to try.
Have you ever tried?
Thanks in advance,
Lucas
Richard, I love this concept. We are implementing this in our gardens. My question is what do you do with the beds in the winter and then to prepare for spring? Thanks
Cover them with non woven landscape cloth
Or plant winter rye ?
Plant field beans, kale and spinach. Beds should never be empty. Protection may be necessary but the soil will benefit from being used.
Did it work? Is there a follow up video?
6:01 what a great piece of machinery. What is it and is it available in the States?
What's the ratio for the compost with peat moss and the manure?
How much soil did you use? How much wood chips did you use?
Is there anywhere i can see what this place looks like now? And some pros and cons?
I want to ask what is the growing soil that you put firs? Is it basically a peat moss mix?
I am curious because I have some fears of using compost in hot and dry Greek weather. Because compost can be hydrophobic really fast hear
How many yards of compost and woodchips were used to make this beautiful garden?
I love the simplicity of this method and I have used it for starting beds in our small family garden. But, on a large scale, it is very expensive to source so much compost and soil and hard to find quality stuff. I also don't think such a thin layer of cardboard would be enough to suppress weeds and perennial grasses here.
I'm starting a 1/4 acre market garden this year and I'm torn between this method and the more traditional method of first tarping, then working the soil with a tiller/broad fork/harrow and adding a thin layer of compost after that. Then going with a no-dig approach after the beds are established by just adding compost each year and minimal surface tilling for bed prep.
what is the price for an bed like this?
I just made my first beds now . Do i need to cover them with plastic to protect them from the snow and the heavy rain in the winter ?!?
Ugh, now I want to rent one of those.
