The world would be a better place if more people got as excited about what they grow as you do!

I am always looking forward to hearing from you, Mark. Well done, Sir.

Thanks again Mark for great info. I consider you my gardening coach starting 4 years ago. I spend 75% of my time and energy gardening the soil, not the plants. The plants (vegetables) come easy with great soil.

Thanks mark tomatoes and sunflowers are looking great, I am now studying the Soil Food Web thank you for all the great info that you gave in the past that is now making sense to meme.

MARK! I’ve been following you for years. You once mentioned leaving annual weeds such as that purple mint weed as a cover crop. This year, I was forced to till my ground due to wanting to get rid of some rotting raised beds and make one large bed. Tillage somehow makes weeds go insane and I had so much summer annual grass and broadleaves come up I thought it was over. Turns out my pumpkins, tomatoes, potatoes, and onions didn’t care. A few other crops didn’t do well, but I decided to plant sweet clover. It’s the end of the season and the yellow sweet clover is healthy and sparsely covering the entire garden. I chopped the foxtail millet and other seed heads and the grass is slowly dying due to being an annual and the sweet clover is filling in. I’m going to sprinkle rye, rape, and hairy vetch to fill in what’s bare. Next year, gonna roll out this brown paper I have in spring, cover it with mukch, and let the crops die and give a head start for the next crop.


Soil looks so good thanks to your guidance!

Thank you for your enthusiastic teaching style.

What do you plan on planting where you are currently growing the sunflowers? I'd like to see how you terminate the sunflower cover crop.

I see alot of bacon and tomato sandwiches in your future 😊

I look forward to hearing more! I’m going to try a cover crop this fall in my little garden that’s heavy clay.

Thanks Mark!

Beautiful plants and fruits Mark! I'm jealous!

Nice beefsteaks have incredible flavour, unparalleled, one of the only varieties I haven’t grown. I stole a couple from my Italian neighbours years ago, they have lots, amazing best tomato so sweet and meaty,

You have mentioned in the past only roots grow soil. If you have a heavy mulched container bed, will the roots grow soil in that environment. as a long time Ruth Stout method follower, I am now in a position where i will be using raised beds only. I plan to use cover crops in this also.

I haven't been getting your notifications. I'll keep watching tough.

my sunflowers fell over, not from wind but bcz the stalks were too weak to support the flower head (whIch wasnt even large). I gave up and cut them down (might as well some were already laying on ground)... seeds were formed so I sampled one and it tasted good. I'd love to know why the stalks werent strong...could it be the plant wanted to be direct sowed and not transplanted from seed starting trays under grow lights?

[chocalatekid]

Never heard someone lust over a tomato like that!😂

[socloseagain]

Do u think store bought rye can germinate? 🤔I'm thinking of using rye as a cover crop right now for the fall/winter

[ScratchProgramming]

Hi thanks for the videos. I am in Zone 5a, New Brunswick Canada. Is it too late (Oct. 22nd) to plant a cover crop. If not which one would you recommend ? Our soil is somewhat clayish.

[DAVEITTERLY]

I know a place in Pennsylvannia zone 7 too with a mess of sunflower. can see them from the road. why? A crop?

[centpushups]

Would make some fantastic tomato soup out of those.
