Patrons get lots of exclusive videos and updates on myself and my projects. Thanks to the support of Patrons I am able to make videos almost full-time, but without needing any corporate sponsors.
Many many thanks to all those that have supported me and the channel but please only send money if you have it to spare!

To run straight lines with a tractor: Put two pin on the hood of your tractor and a pin at the center of the row you like to make. Then just align all 3 pin's while driving.
The Robin stole the show!
American Indians planted Corn, Squash, and Beans together. The corn was the trellis for the beans, and the squash was ground cover to keep the weeds under some control. See if you can get a pipe for the back of your lift, and mount a couple, or better yet, three 6" plow points to. This will create your ferrous. As your crop grows, get bigger plow points. You can use leaf springs, mounted vertically, as plow points, also.

It’ll be one hell of a rewarding chip butty👍
Hello mate, I'm probably going through one of the toughest times of my life currently, and your videos have held me together. I am originally from England, but I live in Australia, have not been very well lately, and I've been unable to come home. But your videos bring me back home and bring me a sense of calm in turbulent, uncertain times. I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for everything. Cheers.
Proper farming this year Max! Love it
Dad used what he called a middle buster to make furrows for potatoes. He also used the middle buster to dig his potatoes.
That garden looks great. Potatoe planting looked like a set of landing lights. Luckily you covered them up and avoided a 747 from touching down in the allotment.😂🇻🇨
That brought a few memories back. Starting nearer to sixty years ago, helping my Grandad do the same with just spades and hoes. He was meticulous about keeping the mounds up. I remember the types too: Arran Peak and Arran Pilot.
the front lights on that tractor look like someone shrunk a volvo 740 in the wash :)
It's likely that the rosemary won't grow quickly enough to harvest it as often as you'd need it. Luckily, like your willow planting you can take cuttings and stuff them in the ground to root. A dab of honey on the cut will help them. Best find a neighbour or park with an established bush and do twenty cuttings or so and it's then an all year round treat. Great for the memory apparently and it also boosts the immune system and improves blood circulation. Rosemary is rich in antioxidants, helping neutralise free radicals. Why not get some mint in too, it would be lovely with your buttered first early potatoes?
Nice to see! Chili seeds often need a temperature of up to 30 C in order to germinate, and for 10 days or more, depending on the variety. I have had great success with seeds harvested from a type I bought that I really liked 🙂. Now in their 3rd year, the plants produce masses of fruit several times per year. Aubergines also, in my experience, benefit from warmer germination conditions. The poly-tunnel probably can't hack it. A simple heating mat powered by your excess solar power (re recent videos...) would do the business. The flavour of a freshly harvested ripe chili is quite different from long-travelled shop-bought and really worth it.
If you've access to bark chippings then getting rid of the planks & making the pathways with a thick layer of chippings feeds the soil as they break down. Just replenish every year. Also slugs & snails will hide out under the planks.
Will be interested to see how the various plants do. I grow onions up outside Glasgow and we need to sow them early feb to get a good crop late august. Tomatoes are very slow this year at the moment give the temps are might have been below zero lately. I put potatoes in the ground first week in April, first earlies.
Great entertainment, all of your plants are sprouting really well. You should have a good harvest.
makes me want to get in there mate appreciate the vids! Just have to wait till Spring comes back Down Under next year
I thought the robin was a nice touch.
It's good to see that you are healthy, new ideas are coming to you again and you are becoming productive.
