Hi, I am new to farming and was curious about no till paddy farming. This is a very informative video. Could you also share details of how black velvet beans is sowed in April without tilling? Unfortunately I don't have much time and I got green manure beans called jeelugu which grow tall. Could you advise if I could still try no tilling? Do you harvest by hand? Do we have to add organic inputs too?
Hi Krishna, how many harvests per year can you get like that on what acreage and what sort of yelid? I'd really appreciate your answer. Love your Teachings. You are a great influence on us. Thank you and God bless. Jai Sri Ram!

@@KrishnaMckenzie nice to see you ji. Have harvested rice in this method

I used this method on an extremely smaller scale (my garden). I spread out the seeds and then pulled up all the ground cover and overgrown weeds. I have to tell you I had more plants sprout and grow than trying to sprout them inside under all these "scientific and chemical" methods. You still need to think and plan what you are planting together so that they will work together. I can not wait for the next season.
glider208 thanks for the personal account, it's always good to hear of others successes or failures.
It's is HUGELY important to note that Fukuoka had 20 years before it was all working super well, he bred his own rice and his own vegetables. major part of his successes
how its goibg three years later?
Its interesting that you say one still needs to think what to sow together. This is precisely what Fukuoka considered one of the most complex things to do in natural farming; the selection of the seeds!
What a wonderful way to protect the soil and growing at the same time. Couldn't have ever imagine a way like this. Thank you for sharing. Best regards from Mexico.
ola!!!! :) love to all in Mexico! :)
It should be noted, Fukuoka bred his own rice and vegetable varieties to grow in his unique system, that was a major step taking many years in his life(also he was in like a zone 10, thats tropical/sub tropical).
Krishna ji you are the gold standard of Natural farming. How many days prior to rice sowing is the black velvet been sowed,? Do you get any beans from it?
Greetings from Queensland Australia. I’ve put in a food forest in a 3/4 acre suburban property, converting lawn to food. My principles are very much in line with your approach. Yes I have my grafted fruit trees but I also eat and encourage the common weeds. I’m using woodchip for my organic material as it’s a free local resource that will otherwise be dumped. I’m planting pigeon pea and ice cream bean from seed to build up material and nitrogen fixation. I use pumpkin and sweet potato to cover the ground. But I’m going to scatter more legume seed inspired by your teachings. I think I need to plant denser. Longevity spinach is one of my favorite greens. We also love our green smoothies! We add turmeric, ginger and citrus to flavor a wide selection of greens.
Hii Krishna sir... very happy to see ur tamil interviews ...pls start one tamil channel ur tamil is so lovely all the best sir......
disturbance cycles are not necessarily harmful. annuals expect disturbance cycles in some form. this video just popped into my head as i was thinking about things. this is actually pretty smart and really well adapted to their bio-region.
Sangram Takmoge sure, couple examples come to mind. Firstly, the vast majority of our commonly available annuals came from one region in the world grown under great care and turned soil, it's what they were bred under.
Next, I was at this small organic farm and they had this problem in the past, at a certain point, nothing would grow. So the farmer lightly turned some areas and in others used a spike roller/aerator to move the soil around. Most annuals expect a bacterial dominated soil, this would happen with disturbance cycles. Undisturbed soil becomes fungus dominant and not so desirable for many annuals. (also fungally dominant soil tends to favor/create acidic soil levels, such as those found in forests, this isn't as huge a deal, but can be a contributing factor)
Lastly, in the wild, annuals would be present after a distubance, which are actually natural in Prarie systems from grazing or digging animals. However, depending on the bioregion, there are forested systems which would undergo similar disturbance cycles from animal activity and annuals are the first to fill the void.
However! it's important to note, these are not repeate cycles, I'm not justifying deeply turning over the same soil every single season, but it's like everything in permaculture, right method at the right time for the right system.
what bean is this which you use as green cover?
1:30 Black velvet bean..
@@Swansen03 If annuals like disturbed soil, then how was Fukuoka san achieving excellent yield without plowing? One is theory and the other one is practice
@@nandakumarpalaparambil8577 he had a 40 year breeding program. He had all his own strains/cultivars...
Very nice . I have been doing organic farming and folk rice conservation for the last 12 years in a Govt Farm , West Bengal. You may watch folk rice conservation at Agricultural Training Centre, Fulia
I wish other farmers in India fall in love with nature just like you and try this methodology. How can this simple message get through....?
Will try this in my farm...Read about this but today got practical details..Thank you very much
Loved the video and what you do. I just recently discovered Masanobu Fukuoka.
No pellets as there is heavy rain and the ground cover is very thick and trampling buries the seeds automatically.. Adaptation on Fukuoka method to suit local conditions.. 👍😍
Green manure is a 'must' for natural farming
Worm compost is redundant in natural farming..just return organic matter back to soil and don't disturb the soil.. 🙅👍
Weeds will be there but they won't create too much of a competition to the crop! 👍
This is an inspirational video! 👍
AWESOME! Thank you very much, just discovered this method and philosophy, To be honest, when I heard about "do nothing farming", I thought: this is for me (lazy person!) Of course, there's still work, but joyful work.. I hope natural farming will be spreading more and more, given the actual plight of the soil of our Earth. THANK YOU
I have been to Solitude Farm, and I've met Krishna. Had an Awesome time there.
I’m finding my way of life is in all around the world and finally I’m in Scotland and fighting to get back to soil ... definitely I wanted to see you and heal you Krishna Garu
I love the outfits. =)
Great work. I wish my soil's ecosystem was this healthy.
Hi, I am curious about the yield differences between natural farming and traditional land-destroying farming? I imagine the science involved in the destructive kind makes for a better yield. But curious how different the yield is.
write to us, solitudepermaculture@gmail.com
I will come in Auroville in february to see Biggie and I will visit you because I am very interested by permaculture and eating raw food(fruits and,vegetables mostly)I want to recomand a site call "vivre cru"but it's in french,see you soon,i live in south of France
You inspired me Krishna McKenzie.
This man is gods messenger.. inspiration... legend
The unrolling of the black velvet bean plants, like a giant green carpet blew me away🤯🤯🤯
How do you harvest the paddy later?? Also, for the next cycle of beans... Do you spread them before harvesting?? Do you leave the paddy straw behind as a spread, as you are doing with beans??
...no pollution, much more life and less work. So, up with natural farming! Down with rototillers and fossil fuels! They are not needed, except by those who want you to buy them.
Wow does this make sense. And so simple.
Finally u are famous in all over tamilnadu
Fertility is the lives themselves. Agree.
but this don't work in temperate climate zones... it need to be warm, wet, much light.
the acre i work on suffers from drying out very fast and without water the mulch won't start the living process of earth and also germination it's a hard step
you have to understand the philosophy. this is not about techniques. every culture emerged on this planet because of their relationship with Mother Nature. different techniques different bioregions. but one Mother Nature! :)
This is a wonderful and informative video! So simple and beautiful! I plan to use similar methods in the near future. Thank you from New York USA!
This was very interesting! Would you please do more video's like this?
Yes!
Now thats some Organic rice
You might get more rice from seeding after you roll up the beans. it would just guarantee the rice hits the ground, even if it sits on top of the ground the green manure when rolled back should get it germinated.
Very nice and need of the hour.. Thanks a lot. Krishnaji please keep sharing this type of videos
Do you flood paddy after seed emergence
What are the challenges you face in this type of Cultivation
Since how long the soil ie under natural farming
What is final yield and please upload video prior to harvest
Does green mulching decompose the roots of the main crop?If no,how is it protected against decomposition since the cut black velvet beans are decomposing in contact with the new rice seeds.
Think wise madam. Only organic material decompose. Plants don't decompose. As you cut down the plant roots, it's just a organic material without life.
Solitude was inspirational to me when I worked there and continues to be through these videos. Keep facilitating life!
I'm come from Vietnam. Please tell me what's plant you using as cover crop? Is it black velvet bean?
Dope method man. One day will execute this on my farm.
I live on Vancouver Island and while it does not get as cold as Alaska is is cooler than the tropics. I would suggest using leaves, bark mulches and especially grass clippings as a way to create heat to break down other organic materials. For example compost piles always work better with added grass clippings as they provide this instant heat.
Thankyou for your wonderful video, and Aloha from Hawaii!
கொடுத்து வைத்த மனிதர் நீங்கள் வாழ்க வளமுடன் நலமுடன் நன்றி
Oh great 👍 Superb Its really practical way of Fukuoka type paddy cultivation, lots of life in the soil and I Loved the outfit also. God bless you guys.
So nice of you :)
Fukuoka ve doğal tarım yöntemini seviyorum hatta ona yaratılışa uygun tarım da diyebiliriz
so when you are walking on wet soil, it does not get compacted?
Probably would but pulling the roots of all those bean plants out would loosen it just enough by the look of it.
Compaction, from animals,happens naturally - this is not the issue; when the soil fertility grows - through permanent grown covering, less digging and machine intervention - compaction decreases.
@ssssaaafff You can also use these methods to grow all the the things you've mentioned that one should eat.
Hi sir , i want to know ,what if one first cut the green manure ,and spread the seeds in a systematic pattern and then again cover back the mulch , will that work ?
so many things work and don't work, there are many parameters at play. you have to go deeply into it and keep trying, the techniques will change depending on climate, water availability, topography, soil even demographics, you have to give alot of time to this.
The fertility is the life . . . beautifully said and demonstrated. :)
You're a genuis, hope you're doing good and still making videos.
Awesome..! Mother Nature ...! Thanks for sharing..
Great Video Mr.Krishna Mckenzie... As I was reading the book "One straw revolution", I was quite confused how it works. This video gave lot of useful inputs. Thanks for it.
fantastic video! thank you so much and greetings from Argentina :)
use pigs to pull up and trample for the task around minute 5:30.
and grow oyster mushrooms and truffles to incentivise pigs
In Japan he made inter crop rice and wheat grains like same combination which is good
Nice. Trying to come up with my own grain and cover crop mix for my area currently.
Thankyou... my ex husband comes from India... I've bought a hydroponic system.. 2 exactly lol... I'm a bit overwhelmed but I will do it.... bought soil and a up ground growing system too... waiting for my seeds... needs ur inspiration to start me off.. I've got 7 kids on totall but 4 at home... disaster waiting to happen is this shit... where did this shit happens... happened because of greed.. I've got Indian citizen ship... after this shit I can come help... lobelia will get rid of cough
Great work and keep doing more videos of this kind which will motivate more people.
This was a great clip!! Keep it up! You are doing a great job!
Have you changed your method? Pulling velvet bean back, cutting the roots, and laying it back down again is very labor intensive, although obviously effective.
Great video.
Yes we have evolved to food forest
@@KrishnaMckenzie Thankyou for sharing.
I am really enjoyed
You are amazing..
Please let me know the Tamil name for "black velvet bean" and where can I get it's seed
This seem like the perfect idea for a tropical area, but how about really cold climates like Alaska,? Unfortunaly organic matter doesn't rot quickly here, in fact, in takes several years. has anyone on this had any expericence with this type of natural farming in a primary cold climate?
Look @ how Sikkim is doing Organic farming 🌾
Just went through the book - one straw revolution - just wondering how it will suit the South Indian context... this video comes very timely
check out this guy czcams.com/channels/sdOS7iS-fzVJ2nPJHNlfFQ.html has dozens of videos from Kerila india, very clear, very helpful
Looks sketchy to me however I grow in a temperate climate so what can I know about agriculture in this part of the world.
Recommended after ten years!👍
Which green manure is it, I mean plant
Krishna, you are being followed on this one by the fukuoka_farming yahoo group members, great job!! keep it up
Great work
that is not how Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming is done. I guess that is Aurovilles method. Fukuoka will never endorse such labour intensive method of Rice Cultivation. Also regarding the rice seeds, you are missing some points.
+richard belho but Fukuoka did something similar when cutting winter grass and putting back straw. I think they did excellent job finding other plant that grows well in their own land. That's what Fukuoka said too, to observe the nature where you live.
Be ware to not fall into dogmas. The most important concept from Fukuoka and others teachings. Is the concept of letting nature do what it does best. All in all properly adapted to the local or specific conditions.
For instance I do this in Norway and Portugal! I can't say enough, how different the conditions are. On locations spread apart by 3000 km. Be it for climate, soil, altitude...and a vast etc.
Being a "one man show", I rely on machinery for some parts. Mostly mowing the green cover. Is it "wrong"? No it's not, but I don't have 10 or 20 other hands sharing the tasks. Simple!
Hi Krishna could you show us how you plant the beans at the end of the rice season. Also do you plant a winter crop?
Love from Chennai
Beautiful, keep up the good work.
Very nice explanation 👍👏🏻
Fantastic video buddy!!! God bless you for sharing that. Ive just been reading The One Straw Revolution and to be able to see it visually makes all the difference in the world
Hi, Bro, I saw you're videos so nice that method was increased oxygen in a particular place.
But I have a one doubt it reduces a number of rice growing area?
இயற்கை உங்களுக்கு நீண்ட ஆயுளைப் கொடுக்கட்டும். தமிழையும் தமிழ் கலாச்சாரத்தையும் போற்றும் உங்களுக்குத் தலை வணங்குகிறேன்.
love you sir and royal salute
that was awesome. I've seen no one else adopt the Fukuoka method to rice farming so successfully. I'm growing his rice here in Japan but haven't yet developed a working technique.
Do you harvest and eat the beans prior to cutting them?
thanks for sharing!!
Hey Krishna, hope this finds you well. Any suggestions for green manure plants for South Rajasthan? So far i have Alfalfa, mustard and mung beans. Also there is a pseudo cereal crop called "Dhan". Please advice on what else is possible. I see bean plants also. Would it best to begin with green manures as a starter bed and sow other things subsequently?
Beautifully presented 👏👏👏 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful adaptation of Fukuoka's teaching to your climate.
My, what an abundance of dragonflies! Does it make sense
to push sticks into the paddies to make perches to attract
them and their protection to the paddies?
After 10 years😍😍
Is this method applied in the steep hill?
Can you tell me more information as per indian climate which crops are good in combination
how about if we sow the rice as step 2, after rolling up the black beans, so that they go directly on the soil and then we do step 3 to cover up the rice?
Very good. Is this technique followed for other crops like bengal gram etc. grains ?
It's very useful. I will try to apply this method in my project
👏👏👏👏
Very nice
( please note. I think that snake is venomous )
You are right!
Can anyone please identify the black centipede with yellow stripes? I saw one here in West Tennessee a few days ago. I have never seen this one. Thank you.
Welcome farmer
Good one bro 👍🏻
Awesome krishna
Thank you from bottom of my heart !
Very informative and nicely created video. @Krishna, could you suggest way to reduce weeds already filled up in an existing farmland without ploughing.
Thanks Krishna
Super, fantastic and amazingly beautiful.
Thank you Krishna! Solitude experience is ever lingering in my mind! Such a cool place! Thanks for the great work you are doing!
so do you harvest the beans for consumption? or are you growing something to simply mulch it and start over?
If thats the case it seems like a complete waste
Krish , upload video about water resources of garden
