      Hello Gary, I'm having an issue I can't figure out. I don't know why some of my seedlings are starting off good then look wilted and stunted, growing slowly. The color looks good, the nutrients and watering is normal, and the sunlight is sufficient. Also, I hand pollenated my squash but the fruit grows a little then gets soft and just slows down growing so I picked it off. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Planting artichoke in a new no dig this weekend. We saved bags of shredded mulch and cardboard for almost two years. Thank you for shouting out Charles Dowding, I actually get really upset when people don’t. I did potato boxes for the first time this year on mid and late season potatoes and no dig my earlies. Compost, compost, compost...yes, that’s the downside for sure on no dig. We have mulch walking paths that we sift through every spring and get a LOT of good compost from it and just add more mulch to the larger pieces and put it back on the path. Charles says no glossy boxes as well and I agree with you guys on that. Great info as usual 👍🏼

      i get upset when people don't reference Ruth Stout, who was the true pioneer of no dig, and it irks me when men try to erase her from the history of no dig and permaculture.

    • @jimsgardenproject3507
      @jimsgardenproject3507 4 года назад +3

      Wendy’s garden- it’s true Ruth Stout was a pioneer in this method. Problem today is that it’s a video world not a book reading world. Had she been making videos she’d probably be a front runner. With that said, I’ve watched quite a few videos who do actually mention her and this method. I watched one made about her. I’ve heard Charles Dowding mention her a few times in his videos. He points this out before explaining his role for the last 30+ years of gardening. He started out traditional then read some of her info I believe and went from there. He does more experimental projects testing dig versus no dig beds and the yields he gets from them. It just happened that a guy picked up on her method and is now running with it for the better I should add. Actually the people I do hear mention Ruth Stout have all been men. So they are paying it forward. Just thought you’d like to know that.

    • @Just-Nikki
      @Just-Nikki 4 года назад

      Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) I ended up with a heck of a lot of artichokes because I was impatient and started more when they hadn’t germinated... I believe I had %100 germination 😋

    • @Just-Nikki
      @Just-Nikki 4 года назад

      Wendy's Garden I understand where you’re coming from and I believe ( as Jim mentioned ) that it is because of video v books. Charles of course gives her the credit due so people will still know about her as they research because his name will also most certainly come up. He has also expanded upon her methods and I think that also plays a part.

    @jimsgardenproject3507 4 года назад

    Hi Gary, another great video. Just so everyone is clear on this. Raised beds are also no digs as you said as long as your not turning them. No dig is the process of continually adding from the top. A fresh layer of Compost is added once or twice a year to the top of the bed (raised or ground level) to feed the bed and keep weed seed from being turned up from below. In addition, by not disturbing the soil it allows the mycorrhizal network to stay intact. Turning the soil constantly breaks up this beneficial network. It also requires less work, tools and fertilizers if using good compost. Have a great growing season everyone. Good luck.

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN
      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  4 года назад

      Thanks. Very clear. Going to stress the reduction of ferts as cost saver. And of course making compost makes it free.

It's grown here as lawn because it can handle the heat. Once planted, It will NEVER go away. Your garden looks very very good BTW. I wish we had all that rain! We will probably not get rain till Oct.

    I’m just getting started using this method... been collecting cardboard ... Costco is a good location to get pallet sized flat pieces of cardboard ... usually corrugated, but thin... probly need to do three layers, but it’s easier to deal with and pretty plentiful at Costco... I check the box bins and then go around collecting it out on the retail floor... they got in the regular carts too... looking forward to following your progression!

I can see that here you did not use any soil, just compost and shredded hard wood. Would that be sufficient to grow other veggies than lettuce and potatoes? I am planning on radishes/carrots, tomatoes/cucumbers/etc. Should I mix in some potting soil and/or peat moss to the compost mix at the bottom before covering up with shredded wood? Also what type of shredded wood did you use? Thank you in advance!

      Rocks below the roots will work around them. No dig is a good way and each year you add and raise the level of compost. I would do a bad like that. You can also do 8-10 inch sided raised beds. Fill that with good stuff. The plants will grow will in that.

    I live right next to a bunch of pine trees. Can I use the pine straw on the bottom in a large container to fill up that space before I put dirt in? Also, can I use the dirt underneath as compost for a no dig garden? Thanks for your wealth of information. Your channel is the absolute best to learn from. Take care Gary!

      So in a container sure. Dont over do it. In theory you could use the dirt under the tree. You dont want to move weeds seeds and such in. I understand with the decay, its not just dirt but better stuff.

    Much cheaper to get compost delivered by the cubic yard. Just check to make sure it's fully 'cooked' before planting in it. 4' x 8' plot will require about 1 cu yrd 4 " deep or so. Also, Charles Dowding lays a 1" layer of compost over his existing beds in the Fall to provide depth and nutrients for the next growing season, and that's all he does...so annual maintenance is much cheaper.

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN

    In the past I have used colorful glossy cardboard as a mat under my Earth Machine compost bins, thinking the gloss would extend the life of the cardboard. I have noticed that in most cases, after a season under the bin, the colorful gloss simply disintegrates and disappears. Rarely, there is a plastic film or some leftover packing tape on the cardboard, which is easy to separate and discard once the cardboard degrades.
    Having observed this, I now use an office paper shredder to shred all my colorful glossy metallic plasticized household cardboard - toothpaste boxes, cereal boxes, bill envelopes with plastic windows, waxy bags from the pizza takeout - almost all of my household paper waste is shredded with impunity. In a sealed municipal green bin, I mix high-nitrogen kitchen waste with the high-carbon paper shreds and allow them to anerobically degrade into a sludge. Later I mix the sludge with accumulated yard waste and grind very finely under the lawnmower. Finally this supercharged mulch goes into the Earth Machine for fast hot aerobic composting. The finished compost has almost no recognizable paper, and only a few shreds of plastic envelope-window in various states of mechanical degredation. I don't bother to pick them out, trusting they will pulverize to dust eventually, and add loft to the soil in the meantime.

      So when you turn. You bring up deep seeds. They can last for years and bits of root remain. So that is why they keep coming. I layered cardboard in most of my beds when I started. So you can do that now too. Sort of build what you see in this vid on your beds. And try 2 layers of cardboard.

      Rose Famiyeh this is one of the major reasons for no dig gardening. Your no longer turning up the dormant weed seeds as Gary said. My beds used to be covered in weeds. If your current beds are full of weeds, do just what Gary did in this video on top of the current beds and start growing right into the top soil above the cardboard. The cardboard will breakdown shortly and the plant roots will continue down into your beds. You’ll be growing your plants while the cardboard is suppressing the weeds. If your beds are really bad and dormant over winter you can cover them with more cardboard, heavy black plastic ( which will heat up and kill the weeds), old carpeting or tarp. Matter of fact, other than the carpeting, you can simply cut holes in the other materials and put your plants right in for fall/winter plantings.

He explains if you keep pulling at weeds they eventually give up. Bind weed however may just move on to another location.

      I do these types of beds often, usually if I plant transplants into them right away I take my trowel and kind of stab a little slit in the cardboard just to help it along. It might cause a slight problem with weed intrusion but it’s minimal in my experience. If I wait just a couple of days letting the cardboard, compost and wood chips sit in a damp environment there is no need to do that.

    Hello Gary, I have watched several of your videos now and do learn from you. I live across the river in PWC Virginia so our areas are pretty close to the same. If I could recommend two things to help: 1. Please use a tripod to hold you camera and use a microphone on your shirt. This will decrease the excess movement from holding by hand and keep your voice consistent. 2. You jump around too much for me causing me to lose my place in your story. Editing is important of course, just try to stay on one point at a time.
    Thanks for your advise and showing us your methods for growing.

    Glossy paper and ink has either clay or polymers in it, that’s what makes it glossy.

    Hydrogen peroxide is hard to find these days, Can you find it in your location?

      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  4 года назад

      Nope. But I was lucky I had bought many for the video series last year. Hopefully it gets me by.

    Bad sound
    Too much talk
    Incomplete demonstration

      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  Год назад

      Seems like you skipped around to much if you think its incomplete. Very detailed and the sound (at the end) changes because rain got in the mic. Anyway... Many more videos to pick from and many are under 8 minutes if you like short videos and less talking.
