Smart, no need to go buy wood chips, or hunt down an arborist to ask for his free wood chips. And no need to buy a $1200 shredder machine for mulching leaves.
LOVE your videos but finding this one misses the info that would make it actionable. Ofc up to me to go and do research but struggling with this concept because if the growth window opens and I put in cover crops then when I miss the window to plant my plants. I tried in autumn and it got too cold and the few that germinated in time died
Have been thinking of doing this myself. Would love to know what varieties you plant in spring vs autumn. What combinations grow well together, what benefits each provides to the soil, how long they take till flowering, etc.
My garden covered itself (past tense, because I'm doing chickens right now, and all my plants are either perennial or in containers). We have rye in the winter. I mostly even don't bother to kill it. I just plant with it, removing whatever is in my way. It doesn't eat or drink much, and keeps my soil alive all year
I was going to ask if the cover crop would self seed and start to compete with your crop but realized you crimp it at flowering stage before it forms any seeds. Thanks for the video I'll try this
Even little worms and maggots are unique individuals that deserve our care and respect. Please don't use or exploit any insects or animals. Whatever you're doing in this video with those worms .. please just be kind and compassionate. You are big and strong, they cannot do anything to stand up against you or escape. Use your power responsibly
Have you thought of growing wine cap mushrooms in with the plants? They will break down the that cover even further making even better compost for your plants. You can also eat them like portobellos.
Only issue i have is i dont have space for this. Bc i have a very limited space n i’m in zone be. So i try to take advantage of the entire growing season i have. Do u have any recommendations

Wouldn't you not be able to plant that year, waiting for all of this to grow and bloom and to die?
my trueleaf mix won’t die
This is brilliant.!!!

Where can you find or buy your mixed cover crop seed?
Where can you find or buy your mixed cover crop seed?
what plant is that
QUESTIONS: 1) What multi-species seeds do you use? 2) Do you do this prior to planting in spring?
This is so helpful! Do you find hairy vetch to be problematic? I’m so worried crimping wouldn’t sufficiently kill it. Do you still tarp afterwards?
Thank you for this inspiring video. It will go a long way to save cost of growing crops.
Can you expNd on what you mean by milti species
what's that vetch?
love this video so much
How long does it take to grow this cover crop?

Anyone know if you can do this method with strawberries and what cover crop to do?

Wait what? Why don’t we all do that. Amazing
Is it best to plant after the last frost next year?
STEAL ❤
so is this multi seed like adding alfalfa and fall rye at the same time?
The Great Mycorrhiza thanks you.
Does crimping compact soil
Love this!
Thank you
What about all those seeds in that mulch?

Any suggestions for those cover crops to use?
