Following up on a conversation with our daughter I googled OGA ….. and found this…. BRILLIANT !! What a surprise and a treat to see you Peter, and to revisit all those wonderful years when we were saving the world, one crop at a time. I send heartfelt greetings from deepest Devon to you all. I migrated into organic building, and then historic buildings conservation. All good stuff. Best wishes, Oliver.
Really useful, thanks Nathan. I grow peaches in my tunnels too. Also desert grapes - so worthwhile. Jonathan
Hey dear, Are you free,I saw your Content is really helpful & Valuable. then I will discuss your RUclips video SEO and video views and give important updates.
I love Agriculture ❤️. I am from Nigeria but lives in Tallinn. I like this discussion. Food production is very important but u have been trying to figure out how organically grown chicken foods are done in Estonia. Or even the normal chicken food. What is the content?
Hello
Dearest Peter & Annie, it's such a joy to see you both again, especially given your presentation to OGA. Next year we too Pam & I celebrate 50 years within this wonderful journey. Much love & respect as always. This time, from Buvuma Island, Lake Victoria Uganda, where I'm continuing my journey of understanding how to work with Mother Earth. R 🙏 xx
nice
Wonderful webinar! Thank you for posting these videos.
Just listened to this excellent webinar. Thanks for your information
Comme see how its done in france with Nature et Progres 😉
Best
A lot of information; liked the comparison experiments; but presentation was hard to follow.
Awesome wealth of knowledge and ideas, thanks for sharing. My only addition is I used mustard for a cover crop and after it flowered I used a hedge strimmer to cut it about 4" high, just below the first leaves. I then planted in between it with beets/kale etc and the spikey stems from the mustard kept the birds away while the transplants were very vulnerable. I'm Midlands based in the UK for context.
Great tip - thanks!

Nice one Ben
What is a peg plant?
A peg plant is a bare-rooted transplant. Seeds are sown into soil in a nursery bed either in a greenhouse or outside, then dug up and transplanted.
Really interesting be great if the links could be put on this page as hyperlinks....

Thanks a lot for the infos
Andy Dibben, love the logical thinking. Great information on why you're doing things and what you're trying to achieve by it. Every locations context is different so there is no one solution, but many of the methods to find a solution I think you nailed. Inspiring! ruclips.net/video/QJteyHEB5o4/видео.html
