The Amish where I live do not garden like this. Took two years to talk them into composting. They DO use chemicals. Had never heard of neem oil or diatomaceous earth. Some have two gardens, one for themselves and one to sell to the English (you). My husband stopped and bought some plants from one of them and they were covered with aphids and were not productive. Where did you get this information??? I'm sure there are Amish farmers somewhere that utilize these peemaculture principles but it's not the norm in my area.
Depends on how much money they have as well as the local rules and customs. And yes, they will save the best of everything for themselves and cut any corners that make sense for what they produce for "the English".
Depending on the Amish sect some DO use electricity; drive cars & trucks; buy & resell power tools; run retail businesses, & manufacturing. Near here they manufacture standing seam steel roof panels; deliver the finished products on their own trucks n trailers & install on housing roofs

Thank you so much for posting this video, just what I needed.
The guy in your thumbnail looks more like a boomer hippie than the Amish I see. The men usually have a beard but no mustache, like Abe Lincoln.
Thank you
SOME AMISH USE ROUND UP ON THE CROPS THAT THEY SELL TO PUBLIC AND SOME ARE TRUE ORGANIC. One needs to ask questions what they use for weeds and more
Thank you 😊
Interesting but the word 'themselfs'...... engrish prease!
