When i plant my corn in loose mounds of soil i beat it like a drum to ensure seed to soil contact, reduce soil run off, form the mound in a shape i like, and start the corns heart beat
Well done! I enjoyed your video, I hope I can find your updates. I have grown 3 sisters here in NW France for 3 years now. It's the part of my garden that gives me the most yields from the least inputs! I dont have to water it, it just gets on with life and at the end of the season I have a harvest of corn, squash and beans. I grow Hopi blue corn, sibley squash, and czar runner beans. I can 100% totally recommend this method of growing.
Thank you so much this is gorgeous and I would be excited to see the results of the fish and fish emulsion experiment. We are planning to try this method in combination with hugelkulture which buries wood at the bottom of a garden bed to add nutrients and water retention. This is an ancient German method of planting beds on mounds of old wood and sticks to create raised beds.
I've been experimenting with hugelpits in southern oregon, super dry here, very short growing season. Great response, I would recommend it anywhere with water issues, if in high desert suggest combination of zuni waffle gardens with buried woodpiles beneath. This is my third yr, hardly watered my hugelpits at all last season. I wanna try 3 sisters or 5 cousins the same way.
You may need to add volcanic ash in small quantities to increase the fertility. 100 grams per meter square. May be travel to Hawaii and find the ash from fresh eruption that is cooled but still intact in the form of volcanic dust.
The reason we make mounds is so they don't compact. Soil needs oxygen. That's why we make mounds is so we don't walk on them but in-between them. This is what was passed to me from elders.
I love to grow three sisters. I am blessed to have seeds and knowledge of my people. I really appreciate what you are doing and hope only the best for you. Niyaawe!
Thank you from New Zealand
Thank you I will be trying this planting season in Ohio
Thank you for this video! I have recently heard about the seven sisters.

I’d love to see a video ❤️ lots of people don’t find success with three sisters because they start without all the relevant information

Our plants responded great to the fish and fish emulsion. We have a friend that wants to try the method you described.
@@Ukwakhwa Thank you so much, here is a link to the hugelkulture process: richsoil.com/hugelkultur/ it is really good at retaining water.

Wow, still depleted after 10 years of resting.....so sad.
I am glad you are helping to heal the land.

Which state are you in? This is amazing.
