Thanks for reviewing! I love Hoss it’s been 3 years since I’ve first began this journey to growing! I immediately clung onto Hoss products but as novice wasn’t sure how to use tools or implementing. Didn’t take long to figure less body work and time are valuable 🤣! Thanks for link😉. Just ordered the double wheel deal!
I wanted to start a garden and tarped the grass area until next spring. Do you think the Hoss would be a great tool to prep the bed and if so which attachment?
Hey Mate, 've been following you for a while. like your stuff very much. question on this one: wouldn't it be better for building up the humus part of the soil, if you'd keep the roots in the ground to feed the soil? or will it bother you growing the next crop? aaaand... what about the soil food web. what do you think of trying to "damage the surface of the ground" as little as possible to not destroy the mykorrhiza. Are you working on this or is it not relevant for you?
You touched on this a bit when you mentioned that your beds are 3yr old now and how you manage your compost/seeding, but how does this tool fit in a “no dig” model (if at all...)? It seems like most of these attachments (aside from the wing sweeps) disturb the soil quite a bit...
So depending on the crop I'm growing determines how I'll prep the beds. Almost everything I do now is no dig, no broadfork, no tilther. BUT when it makes sense in context I will minimally disturb, salad mix for example it's kind of necessary. There are ways around it though, could mow the whole bed or flail mow with BCS then dress with compost and seed/plant. I don't have either machines to do that. The way to do salad mix no dig is to do salanova, it can be harested by hand but is more difficult to use the greens harvester although I've seen Ben hartman do it. Then to remove cut out by hand leaving roots behind.
Thanks for bringing that up. The BCS with power harrow attachment seems perfect for market gardening & doen't destroy soil structure. That first 2" on most good beds is compost anyway. You need to set it up for min. 30" walkways & give turning radius at the ends. His set up is too tight for this to work without restructuring.
flatsville1 I totally agree with you. Those implements he is using may be good for small Homestead Gardens but for a market garden I don’t think they would be efficient.
@@ReefHermit Agreed. He's renting? So, I guesss maximizing his space is paramount. For a permanent market garden production set up, scaling it for BCS makes sense. It won't give you the soil compaction from awkwardly trudging behind that Hoss tool in narrow paths. I used one of those in Central IL to help an "old guy" neighbor because he couldn't do it anymore with his back problems. Never again.
Hey look. Electric Wheel Hoe for tight rows. Still a bit awkwark, but takes less grunt work. th-cam.com/video/iqxiVAp9TKs/w-d-xo.html Under development. www.valleyoaktool.com/
Totally agree on a larger scale than me. BCS with flail mower would be awesome to have it just doesn't make sense in my micro context. The next property I set up I'm hoping to add that into my line up.

This is fab! Not right for my raised beds, but if we had more space, then we'd love this for sure!

Thank for sharing! Wonderful!
Cool setup!!!

Price please
Thank you 🙏
Were you worried about damaging your drip when you were taking that last lettuce out?
Do you also have a seed buying link? I thought I heard you mention it in another video but can’t find it now.
www.trueleafmarket.com/?source=pepperjam&publisherId=181670&clickId=2925149758&PepperJam&
Thanks for asking, yes it's the true leaf market link in the description. It's under recommended products for your garden/farm.
I wonder if this could used to help harvest potatoes without damaging them? 🤔
Hmm check out their attachments I know they have a hiller attachment for planting them.

How to contact you? Thanks!
Imagine living in a place where lettuce goes to seed in December. 😂
Haha San Diego is a rare place!

Too much work! Buy a BCS with attachments. More appropriate for no till and crop residue recycling.
