Pete you could do a 12 hours minnie series on Jim and still just scratch the surface on all of his knowledge. I appreciate you for bringing him and his life to us. And I want to thank Jim for being so generous with his knowledge and willingness to share it so freely. God bless you and yours. And of course Jim as well. Thank you.
That's the truth! We are planning on the first course being 10-12hrs, good call. Jim called me yesterday and he's enjoyed watching the videos also, he looks forward to seeing them again years from now ( pretty cool ) . Jim has been a mentor for me and I only wish to show others what he has done for me 🙏
I think what really impresses me about Jim is not only his vast knowledge but also how easily he adapts to whatever the conditions seem to be.He seems to flow along with the natural instead of fighting it. And what also very impressive is that hes always learning and seems to be a very humble man. Thanks for sharing this American treasure with us all Pete. Looking forward to the additional info from Jim that you are putting together.
I love his "I'll take what's given" philosophy. Too many people impose their will on nature, which works for a while, but then it doesn't; until the soil fails. This dude is a treasure!
Jim is such a wealth of information and a love of life and what he does. These films with be inspiration and knowledge for many who dream of following in his footsteps or those just wiggling their toes in the warm garden soil... Blessings and hugs to all
Pete and Jim, you guys are inspiring my efforts in Charlotte county Florida on a totally unimproved mini farm. keep it growin, blessings of abundance y'all!
Truly living the dream! Such a wealth of knowledge and it seems that the young ones are gobbling up the knowledge as well. That's so great to see! A kid or anyone with too much time on their hands needs to go dig in some dirt and see what they can really learn. This felt great to watch!
Wow, those mushrooms were really neat! Let us know how they tasted. I have mushrooms popping everywhere but to dumb to know what is safe and what is not. Jim is so full of information! Would love to come visit him when he gets back to Florida. I am about 8.5 hours from him. The soil block formula and my soil blocks sometimes crumble and need more info. I have been waiting for you to visit Jim in Maine all season. Thank you!
Haha Had a birch tree die and not a mushroom was in sight... haha. Gorgeous woods, Pete the ariels shot were beautiful, helped to put it all in perspective. Thank you for doing the portion at the market. I really wanted to see that!
i didn't really understand Jim at 13:50 he was saying something about nematode supression. What does he mean? I would really like an explanation since I also have root knot nematode damage and looking for an organic solution!
Your camera skills are improving, wtg! Jim is definitely a valuable gift to you and us. These vids are something I crave to see, especially Jims techniques for the land and weather. Why is he going to Alaska? I think I heard something like that, was I wrong?
its easy to grow mushrooms just get a premixed grain bag, put in a plastic covered chamber with a humidifier. oysters and lions mane grow great this way. after it fruits you can clone the bag and grow again.
Gareth Evans hello! Elliot Coleman is a famous farmer out of Maine. He was very well known for taking the summers off and farming the winters in a very temperate climate. He wrote the book “the new organic grower”. I believe he’s still around and the kids are still running the farm. I visited it a few years back myself.
And they are in an extreme drought right now. Good healthy soil holds moisture. Ground covers like grass in this case or mulch also help to retain moisture. We use very little to no irrigation on my farm also.
I raise perennial Russian Comfrey to feed my ducks and chickens. Humans are Obligate Carnivores so I only grow plants to feed my birds. When I go to the Farmer's Market it is with 30 dozen eggs. 15 dozen each chickens and ducks. If it isn't healthy for humans I don't sell it. I sell live meat birds here at my farm. After the sale I can butcher them for a customer but cannot butcher them before the sale. I do grow mushrooms but they are mostly volunteers. The mycelium grows throughout my duck pasture and fruits whenever it rains.

I just wanted to write basically the same thing, but I always check if someone else has already posted a similar reply. Thank you Jim and Pete!

so much love.
Your camera skills are improving, wtg! Jim is definitely a valuable gift to you and us. These vids are something I crave to see, especially Jims techniques for the land and weather. Why is he going to Alaska? I think I heard something like that, was I wrong?
A Mose thank you! Jim's brother lives in Alaska, he was going to visit.
Excellent content
Mushrooms! The degree program I'm in will be offering a mushroom farming program next spring. I'm pretty stoked.
Great vid pete!
Thanks John! That's pretty awesome I love mycology.
its easy to grow mushrooms just get a premixed grain bag, put in a plastic covered chamber with a humidifier. oysters and lions mane grow great this way. after it fruits you can clone the bag and grow again.
Jim is my new Yoda, him & Geoff Lawton.
Seriously BadAss.
Word! 🙌
Could we have more information on his soil blocks and germination practices.
This is lovely
What an immensely productive human being, and his idle point is so low, doesn't seem to waste energy.
What was meant when Jim said Iron and clay towards the end of the video was good for the potatoes? What was already in the ground or added?
Woderful mushrooms! Ours here is color white and got a sweet soup with chicken.
Romeo Lanzaderas oh cool! Sounds yummy
Jim is awesome
I love this guy omg
beautiful
How does he keep the bugs away? I’m assuming he’s an organic farmer. Maybe neem oil?
what type of grass is this, I am from Namibia we facing huge draught ..
Jim doesnt water, fertilize, no pesticide? How does he do it?
Nope none of the above. It's all about building living soils and diversity in the garden. We just launched our course with Jim.
Wonder what about slugs and snails?
them kids was the best
Jim reminds me of clint eastwood
Who is this Coleman that Jim keeps on referring to in the videos?
Gareth Evans hello! Elliot Coleman is a famous farmer out of Maine. He was very well known for taking the summers off and farming the winters in a very temperate climate. He wrote the book “the new organic grower”. I believe he’s still around and the kids are still running the farm. I visited it a few years back myself.
Cool, I shall research him. Great work with these videos by the way!!!
pete jim saw that he dont use any irrigation system ,so ????? how grown all kind of stuff in his ground??? i dont understand
And they are in an extreme drought right now. Good healthy soil holds moisture. Ground covers like grass in this case or mulch also help to retain moisture. We use very little to no irrigation on my farm also.
He must've had one gargantuan strong arm.
Jim always cut the mushrooms with a knife, live rooting in a forest.
We Americans should homestead more.
After all we are what we eat,!
I raise perennial Russian Comfrey to feed my ducks and chickens. Humans are Obligate Carnivores so I only grow plants to feed my birds.

Livin the dream indeed. Like I’ve teared up a couple times watching these videos knowing what I could be doing instead of my slave work money job
😍😍😍😍😍😍
How about me...?
You make money by filming jim, will you share your profit from youtube to jim
What are you talking about? I make peanuts from TH-cam... it doesn’t even cover my editing fees. This is a labor of love. Will you support my Patreon?
Stop treating those kids like they're 3.
Market is so nice thing for selling the result of hard work and pack of nature nutritions.🍓🥦🥬
