You water every HOUR??

New Subscriber ❤❤❤

You are always pointing and saying click on this video that are suppose to be on the screen when you refer to them. I have never once seen the link to any video 😂

Thanks!

Emergency.. Lolzzzzzzz what like Star warzzz or Forest fire uhhhWHAAA

Your videos are great, and your personality and presentation really makes the info shine. I'm often scrawling notes while watching these videos. You should write a book! Oh, right. I should buy your book!

Hello everyone, I have a question, I am a software developer who hates his job and I think this industry is collapsing anyways. My friend has a 7000m2 (1.5 acre) land close to one of the rich districts of a big city. (Ankara Turkey) I got water and weekly farmers market 3 km away. For years I am talking about farming, for months I am watching farming videos and for a couple of weeks I am making plans. I got enough money to start and pay the bills like 9-10 months.

Shall I do it?

How large is your farm?

I love your videos and I know I’m late to the party, but the missing links when you say “this video here” is killing me 😂 probably good for slowing down my rabbit hole dive though

Have you ever considered adding a rain garden to your drainage issue areas? Prevents erosion, retains water and slowly releases ! The way they work is natures beautiful solution! Thanks for the video :)

❤ I love your style. Will buy your book next month (budget constraints:). Inspiration!

Ohhh, I know it now! I need a trampoline! 🤣

How many man hours does it take to maintain 1 acre in peak season?

You are so entertaining and informative!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

55gs for aprox half a acre of production getting 2 acres would be perfect you can reach around 100grand a year get some labor you will be able to manage 2 acres it will cost you around 100grand maybe a bit more to buy and get those 2 acres to start rolling let's leave the finishing touches later😂

Thanks Cuz

You can fix poor soil ghbourswith good soil/land management practices/knowledge, but you can't really fix bad neighbours, only mitigate. :)

Waiting for my book from you ordered last week

thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. This is the kind of stuff I really need at this stage.

As someone with a few year experience designing and installing irrigation systems your issue with your root rinsing system could be solved with a small low pressure pump and a ploy pipe ran to your crops or your compost ! No more buckets

Vegetable emergencies. :)

At first I took umbrage to "hey nerds" then I realized yeah he's right.

Combien mesure de surface en M2 la ferme ?

Awesome video! Love how you approach your work with joy, humor and thoughtfulness 😍

I am setting up irrigation on our farm and an in-depth discussion on this topic would be highly appreciated guys! <3

I really like your videos

Laugh, I did, because it did my heart good to see the crooked beds in the aerial view😊 I try to get everything as parallel and straight as I can to maximize space, but eyeing a straight line when there are hills, trees, and low areas is not humanly possible.

I'm just a home gardener, what I pickup I'm most thankful. This video, my critical criticism is not enough dad jokes, so a fail for me ......

If your compost doesn't have manure, you're not obligated to the turning and temp requirements in the organic rule. Or treat the compost as raw manure (90/120 rule) and you're golden.

Shout out to all the good neighbors out there, after all that is what makes a settlement a true community, and not just a homestead.

Being a good neighbor is just as important as finding one. When I trade away extra veg starts for which I have no room, good neighbor on my south side trades for them with tractor work; as we do not have a tractor or the know how to use it. Neighbor on the north has agreed to stop spraying their gravel driveway with pesticides in exchange for help with some projects and weeding. All good in this hood

Great video Jessie, thanks!

Wait you water your propagation plants once an hour??? Anymore details please?

Hello! Very long time lurker who wears your hat. I have a very similar garden setup to yours in southern IN with the same soil/water problems (a large vein of clay runs straight through my property, preventing draining). I also built my bed into hill with intentions to catch water. Several years ago I got way too much rain in the spring and had the same problems as you (onions and garlic rotting, etc). I ended up combining a couple methods to control the water and the results have been good (two years later now). I dig a large trench in my pathways... sometimes 2-3 feet deep and 1.5-2 feet wide (think mini excavator bucket - I do it manually but wish I had a machine) and then fill it with carbon (I have unlimited woodchips from the power company tree trimmers, but you could use anything). The best part of this method is you get really nice compost after a few years. You do have to overfill the trenched walkways, maybe top it off after a year... but think of it as making compost instead of managing pathways. The trenches let the water drain from the bed the same way a french drain works, but really just soaks everything up (including the nutrients from the garden). I can elaborate or send pictures - not all of my beds required this, just where the water sits and doesn't drain. I really love it now because I'm capturing so much water / nutrients that were causing problems and / or running off.

Thank you so much for sharing! This was rich with ideas & creativity!! I’d like to use my property for a market garden, but for now, I’m experimenting to feed my family and extras for friends. This video is so helpful to see the “big picture”

Our great neighbours gave us their old trampoline. I whole heartedly agree, they are CRITICAL to my accomplishing absolutely anything with my 3 kiddos.

Just earned my subscription ! Love your garden. 👍👍😍 Best wishes with your endeavors.

You hit the the proverb on the head regarding neighbors. Invaluable is a good neighbor. If people based their real estate decision more on neighbor quality there would be few for sale signs littering the country side

I have been following you for a while, your slightly jumpy word - sentence formulation adds to the farm style. Todays over view share of current & intended & Intergrated farm components is excellent. I like the neighbor -soil comment. Great stuff😊

I would like to hear more thoughts about a compost next to the sink. I literally was just telling my wife tonight dumping a five gallon bucket becomes to much.

Thank you for your many videos and tips. I always watch and learn so much! Keep up the good work!

Agricultural knowledge is the BEST knowledge! Thank U

Hi, do you have a video explaining EXACTLY what is no till? For example, can you just broadcast seed over mulch? Or is using a simple hand-push cultivator, is that no till still? Or is that till? Exactly WHAT is till versus no till? Is there a depth difference? How deep does the soil ecosystem disruption cause a difference? I truly cannot find a video or article explaining this and more, and I want healthy soil on our weed infested 9 acres on the California coastline, I want to eradicate all the foxtails and invasive sticker-laden weeds, and I want to do this in a living soil way. Is there a video that explains all of this? Like No Till 101?

Great channel, great video. I do not have a market garden but I do tend a large garden that feeds my wfe and I, a few neighbours and friends and our kids and grandkids! So we garden on a large enough scale to do that. I always gain a few tips that I can scale down for our use! Thank you!
One of these days we would like to visit your place - we are in Kentucky several times a year visiting family!
Have a great day!

Currently, the link to The Menoken Farm didn't work, but the channel is finable without issue, but you're not there yet...

The wild corners - herbaceous mostly it seems. I am sure you have seen Stefan Sobkowiak's channel ( if not check it out - orchards a little different from your farm. BUT he has a great collection of bird nest boxes and occupiers too, and has found that the lack of evergreen trees has limited his 'winter' assistance from the feathered friends - so now often adds local conifers, when trees die off, as evergreen winter cover to encourage improved pest control. Plus bee hotels - and similar to get pollination and insect predators to do their bit in pest control - and just to boost the diversity a bit more.

Good stuff there... nice channel and a frequent watcher... ... and a nice one on the trampoline. : )))))

Poor soil and great neighbors! That is a recipe for Great soil and Greater neighbors lol

once an hour?!! wow

Cheers for good neighbors. That was profound.

I really liked this video , would like more farm anatomy videos... all the things you said you will make a video over - I look forward to seeing it
