Smart girl with the cowboy boots. Bravo to Charles for regenerative farming, allowing the cattle to do the work without tilling the land. Great eco system.
I don’t know what kinds of sheep you breed and keep, but I am a knitter and I knit specifically with British wool. Some of my yarn comes from South America, but I do prefer the British breeds. Knitting has made a huge comeback in the last fifteen years or so. There are so many exquisite hand dyers in Britain today. I am willing to pay to get my yarn from them here in the US.
As a Master Gardener in the States, I applaud this bold and powerful step being made. We educate about cover crops helping the soil (erosions), soil health (worms, insects, fungi that benefit), pH for various types of planting, native plants which support various wildlife (insects on up) so I understand what is being done to benefit the estate lands. I would love to tie together your journey with the education we do, showing others how this is a global fix and change of mindset. Please keep documenting this journey because it has value for so many, local family gardeners or estate gardeners/farmers.
This vast architectonic delight full of antiques and farming fixtures which makes for a versatile location imbued in history and omnivorous country life.
Farming has always been a gamble. What is so exciting is that your family owns the land, and can make the call to quit the chemicals for such a vast property. Here in the U.S, so much farmland is owned by corporations with profit as their only goal. I love to see people exploring the old ways for options to improve our futures. Your videos are a lovely treat. You are both working hard to do something positive with the gift you have been given.
excellent videos, thanks for sharing, you do an excellent job, the fields look beautiful, my congratulations to all, because I know that it is not just the effort of one person but of many
I have lived at my house for 22 years and rarely if ever have used pesticides inside or outside the house. Definitely never outside. I quit even using fertilizer on any of my plants. Things thrive. I have to cull out saplings every year. If anything hits the ground,it finds a way to grow.I have butterflies,fireflies,birds,humming birds. It's just very magical. If something dies,which is rare,I find a tough replacement. I quit even trying to grow a grass lawn,and let it return to nature. I cut it,but it is lush with clover,wild strawberry,and the residual of grasses I tried to seed. But,it is absolutely alive!
Glyphosate is widely used in the U.S. to grow corn. There's a practice called "Integrated Pst Management" (IPM) which is not anti-chemical but about using chemicals wisely. Among the practices are scouting for insects and when a certain disease pressure is reached, then a chemical might be applied. Sometimes chemicals are needed, that's reality. For example, if a grower has invested a lot of money in fruit trees you need to protect the Be wary of the team 'organic.' At least here in the U.S., it can mean a lot of different things and often does not mean chemical-free. Even 'USDA-certified organic' (USDA=U.S. Department of Agriculture) is not chemical-free, there are certain chemicals that can be used. These tend to be things that degrade quickly and/or less toxic. I recently came across your channel and LOVE IT! I am so looking forward to this garden journey you are taking us on.
Ohhb great A Nice Friday Fixxxxx Thanks its Always Going To be Real Intreasting** in Many ways ..Look at wot his Majesty Has Done with His Farming ..Their Is a Grat Documentry On It >> Tc Liverpool
Good for you on going gung- ho on the organic route. Even my cat eats organic. Cheers from Vancouver, BC. You should read up on Percy Schmeiser from Canada who took Monsanto to the Supreme court of Canada and after 10 years he won. Very inspiring and made me study holistics and organics.
there is a member of the family that recently suggested that he needs to help farmers because they aren't smart enough to navigate themselves online. thoughts?

The earth knows what to do. We need to shut up and listen to it.

That’s fantastic! I hope this practice continues to spread.

wow I really admire the transparency about this and am really interested to follow along the "learning curve" 🤓🍀 Thank you for sharing the process!
Wonderful to know about the clovers.
Beautiful ❤️! You're doing a fantastic job!
We are starting from total scratch. This is so helpful.
Good job! Beautifully done, thank you.

It's never a "failure"..... it's simply an eliminated "possible solution"!
Oh how I wish more farmers in the states would do this. I used to think organic was no big deal. No longer.
Fantastic! Would love to see a follow-up video one day to see how it's all turning out!
Love your boots shown here - what brand are they ?

I highly recommend Silent Spring by Rachel Carson she was one of the pioneers sounding the alarm at the chemical devastation of the land and nature.

Makes you wonder tho how they managed to grow crops and feed people years ago with none of those horrible chemicals. Kinda makes you think..😩
