Zone 8a. I have to get the physics right first. I have to use a rear tine tiller for my heavy clay soil to help mix in about 3 inches of expanded shale with about three inches of compost and mix it into the soil. Loving the course!!
No till! You have to get your biology right in the soil and from heave clay will become good loam soil. You are fighting a losing battle when you till!
Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks. Nice to hear balanced wise words.
I enjoy your videos ,very informative and you make them enjoyable to watch thanks
GREAT!!! 🤓 👍
Hi Conor, I’m not a farmer and never intend to be, but have been thrusted into a situation that I need to take on a large garden without having ever used a hoe. I’ve managed to quickly amass a large amount of piecemeal garden knowledge here on TH-cam, but what I really enjoyed watching in your video is simply not how to “do-something” and enjoyed your philosophy towards your approach and understanding land cultivation, thank you for sharing your wisdom. Sub’d from Berkeley✌️
May I Ask where this Homestead would be ? What Part of the us /state ?
Update NY
I don't even have a farm, I just like listening. Thanks
Are farmers all secretly ivy league ted talk level intelligent? If so, we have gotta rewrite the stereotypes.
Just diversified vegetable farmers.
Yes
Farmers a MUCH more smart and intelligent than what the general public can imagine. I'd say, some have more smarts than a P.H.D holder.
I started using a heavy mulch this year with great success
Conner, you said you got rid of the BCS and Power Harrow, how are you getting your fertilizer spread evenly? Thanks
Wow pick up some books
Do you have to deal with Aphids, Spider Mites, White Flys???
Larry
They are the Worst Bugs that you can Get !! Hate them Just like the Beneficial Bugs !
if you have those bad bugs , your plants are sick. Those bugs you mentioned only come because your food has no water
great videos!
Good man. I like your style.
Best analogy of clay particles I've heard. Most young people have never seed a wet pile of newspaper. The big phone books and "monkey" Ward catalogs are all a thing of the past.
No idea what bcs is??

I have been listening to your youtube vids for the last two days while I work. SO educational!!! In the next year/two, I'll be relocating to 5 acres I purchased in SE Oklahoma. It's been a productive hay field for probably 15-20yrs, I don't think it has ever been tilled. Since i bought it, I have simply had a trade with a fella - you mow, and keep the hay for your cattle so I don't have to pay for maint. My goal is to gather enough knowledge to prepare it properly and start small. My cousin (next door) has horses, and this weekend, she built a huge area to begin a big manure/compost area for me. Learning so much already! :) Def. going to invest in your courses, but will need to wait until next season. TY for sharing!
So great to hear about the beginning of a new small scale farm. Congratulations
Love your style. You're the first farmer I could imagine learning a lot from. I just checked out your course and it's way beyond my means. Is there a modular option?
Farming on east coast of Ireland btw
Noise and Static...well said!
Hi Conor, you mentioned mixing sand in red dirt to provide air in the soil. I live in GA and this red clay can get harder than a brick. Its our first time growing and I want to know if there's anything we should do with the soil as we get started? I have separated a 50' X 96' section of my 1.27 ac lot...
If you mix just a little sand with pure clay, it will get harder. You must add vast amounts of compost to begin to break up the soil.
@@NeversinkFarm thank you for the advice will do.
If we use a NO till system, what can we do to combat possible pests from the previous products?...
Maintain healthy balance fertile soil
How should I start from cero? I hace 2hectareas full of wild planta AND I would start some vegetables production with no-till. Could you give some recomendations.? I'm reading Andrew mafferd book. I'm un Argentina. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing vital farming method, sir.
You considered using Biochar?
Biochar is in my fertilizer mix. You can get it at seven springs farm supply
@@NeversinkFarm How long have you been using Char. From some post. It does good in poor sandy soil. But good organic soil. They see little if any improvement. What are your thoughts on Char?
Your straight forward detailed explanation of the advantages of no-till is brilliant, so clear. Thank you!
Agreed. All the fuss about tillage/no-tillage is unnecessary. People just have their preferences. It works whether you till or not. Each person's resources n preference is different.
It works, however soil health...
Yyyomg such great information thank u so very much God bless
Haha, wow look how crooked that row was to the right of the sprinkler! ;-)Conor must have a newbie working who doesn't know how to use the gridder!
Cover crops seeded by my kids
Whoever gave this video the dislike you need to stop hatin! All of NSF's videos are on point and Conor knows his craft so stop tripping!! Keep it up Conor. You're a blessing to a lot of people me included.
Thank you, Conor.
If you can respond it be appreciated I get the leaf miners in my Beats and in my chard they're real problem a solution to that.? Thanks for all your videos you're obviously the best out there don't let it go to your head haha. Also I've watched probably every video you put out. Your beginnings were sketchy at best. it's interesting to see you rise from admitted ignorance of growing crops to being absolutely the best that I can see. I don't think you could ever go to a college and learn what actual experience taught you alllbeit the hard way
Good fertile soil, parasitic wasps and roe cover
@@NeversinkFarm thank you so much.
Connor, how far do 250 wasps go @$82? & how do you know when? Do you count their appearence on yellow sticky flypaper thangs? Thanks so much for a link to any good IPM readings, etc.
