You are the greatest teacher in farming. You inspired me to start my own mini farm.

I'm wondering why you are mulching kales. Is that a crop grown here only for soil improvement ?

[supraguy]

Great video and amazing tool. Does steadfast use the Berta flail mower or the BCS branded roller-ball model? I don't see the BCS red frame, but also don't see the removable baffle plate of the Berta.

curtis around 4:22, is that walkway on the right side just landscape fabric? is it a special kind of landscape fabric?

After this series, I feel many viewers would appreciate a video on your input and thought about tilling in your operation. I feel many people have gotten very caught up in the permaculture idea of "no-till" and consider everything but no-till to be catastrophic to the soil even though you practice "low-till" in your operation. The past few videos in this BCS series seem to have comment sections embroiled with "no-till police" harassing aspiring and newcomer market gardeners. Perhaps you could make a new video and set them straight? Loving the new content by the way.

Is there a reason why you do the steering from the front or back? I could imagine it could be mulched, with the steering handles on the back side of the machine?

[MossPage]

Hi Curtis, thank you for the amazing work.
Some generic questions for you:
How old were you when first starting farming 8 years ago?
What age is too old for starting farming?
Cheers
Moss
