    Not going to lie I'm a bit jealous. The fact that you got that area to do that in is amazing. I can't wait to see how it flourishes and grows!

      We are unbelievably blessed to be able to do this as well as I consider myself SO fortunate to have been raised here. I hope it’ll be good, it’ll definitely be an adventure!

      Hey thanks Mark!!
      It’s been a ton of work and looking at it now after kind of letting it go during the summer it’s hard to tell I’ve done anything. We have a much better starter point for next year though.

    Zack, looks great. Plant some Fennel even if you don't use it. Fennel is a massive bee magnet.Throw the ash from your burn piles on the ground where you till next time. A lot of horse stables will fill up the back of your truck with composted horse manure. Throw that down before you till. If you come see me soon, I'll give you some of the 180 varieties of Tomato plants I have as well as about 50 different types of peppers if you happen to come to "my town" soon.

    Have you considered building swales or contour beds? (Basically tiers) helps with water and soil (nutrient run off).

      I have thought about it, I asked the former operator of this spot about it and she said she never had any problems with runoff. Will definitely keep it in mind and adjust our technique as necessary.

    Mate, I got to ask, what is that on your shirt, did your marvelous beard back out a baby? 😳😉😆
    Look into hoogle culture gardening if you haven't already, one of the healthiest and easiest ways to garden!
    And you'll be able to pretty much use all the crap you've dug out to feed back into the soil, no waste at all...👌🏽
    Amazing job you've all done.👍🏽

    • @ZackOfAllTrades

      I have looked into hoogle beds and may well go there in the future. At the moment I’m going with what I (kind of) know for this season.
      RE the growth: it looks much less like a beard baby than it did when I tried it up nearer to my collar lol

      Hey Dave!
      I think we do in the region but I’ve never seen any. The garden is 500ft or 1/2 mile away lol
      500ft if you hike straight down the hill 1/2 mile if you take the road. Some serious terrain around here. I hope you’re well man

    what's with that North American burning the shrub? Couldn't you shred it, and have loads of mulch? I do get the efficiency angle, just wondering. Shredding is what I do on my tiny, tiny patch. Bury what's to big to shred in a hugel, and burn the rest as firewood.
    Or leave it piled in a row up as a natural bear fence? (that's meant to be a joke)

    • @ZackOfAllTrades

      I had thought about shredding but having no shredder at the moment I opted otherwise. Good thought though
