Life is all about choices and trade offs. Jim makes a lot of principled trade offs that most people won't do. Because of that, he lives a life that other people want but they can't . He's a very interesting person. Great videos
Shane Millard - There aren't many people like him! His views have definitely helped to change ours for the better since we've known him. Thanks for the reflection!
I've watched this video 4 times and it never gets old. Pete you and Jim move me to action and actually restore my faith in humanity. Thank you both for what you do and who you are. 🌱💖💪
Last year when I grew corn I mulch them using grass and they turn out to be big and green(leaves)😊😋 and also good quality corn..I did it out of laziness actually lol..I was too tired to remove the weeds so I thought if I throw the grasses I chopped from the front yard into the corn bed,I won't need to clean the bed hehe
I've been starving for this type of conversation. No one ever told me that I could grow my own food before, so much appreciation and kind thoughts sent your way.
My father in law had always covered crops with grass&leaves. And I've been following behind him. Doing the same and getting good harvest many families this threw the 19 years. I've lived on the land.
That's the beauty of learning from everyone's experience. Gardeners have different environmental challenges, regional challenges, drastic changes in weather condition challenges and as an avid vegetable gardener, when presented with adverse conditions, you have no choice but to learn how to improvise. And that's the beauty of learning from what other people's experience, bringing their new innovation and revelations to gardening in adverse situation. Kudos to you!
Growing Your Food In Your Own Backyard As a very new Gardener I have to agree, I love learning from other Gardener’s wether it is in person or the many You Tube Video. I am in. North Texas and sense I missed the summer growing season I am hoping to get a small plot ready to try my hand at a Winter Garden for the first time. Do you think this method would work for the winter Garden as well? And btw I followed your channel as well, the name got my attention and it also looks li,e a channel I can learn from 😊
Pete, just want to thank you for your vids with Jim. Because of you and Jim I have turn flower beds into veggie beds and made my garden bigger . Want to start doing fall crops, winter, spring and summer. They have insired me like you will never know and for that thank you and Jim to. He is a big part of it.
That was so beautiful it made me cry. It was a little piece of heaven.Have to watch it a few more times, thank you Pete, and hats off to Jim. He is doind it right, that's for sure.
I feel the same way - I've got a scythe now. And am starting to start my garden. How 'bout the size of the veggies at the end. How to make the world a better place.
I am blown away! I probably saw him at Common Ground Fair, Unity Maine in 2019. Mind boggling array of organic foods, livestock , floral /plants arrangements, crafts, home grown , metal, stonework etc. There are seminars, workshops, exhibitions and booths galore ! Even pulling teams, equestrian and dog shows and more. Bucket list for me! One of my favorite fairs.
Such enthusiasm. Great to challenge and experiment beyond conventional practices. Sounds like less work to add long grass ( if one can scythe) that gather resources for compost, turn it, wait 6 months, spread on to beds etc. Lots of questions about different uses of mowed grass at different stages and expansion of benefits of scythe to mow.
I can understand it. My backyard became a jungle when I simply neglected it for a few years. My 8x8 storage shed disappeared in the jungle. The volunteer oak tree seedling grew to +20' tall. Of course here in the Monterey Bay area of California everything grows.
Sas du Plessis - Thanks! Glad you see the improvements. The film work has turned out to be a great new adventure :) Those were the key words we were shooting for! Awesome!
Thank you so much for going in and doing a detailed video of Jim's wonderful garden. You're doing a wonderful job and the details of this are just astounding. I live in a very dry climate less than 14 inches of rain a year, this system seems to be remarkable from what I can see and it's something that I would like to follow more of. I was fortunate enough to view his remarkable gardening techniques twice on Justin Rhodes videos and saw where this Garden started when he first got up from Florida. Now you following along later on in the season has really impressed me with his gardening skills. I really enjoy watching this gentleman Garden. I have truly enjoyed your daily videos. You show me more fruit than I even knew existed and made me a little bit jealous that I can't taste the fruit of your labors. Every time you are eating I find myself wanting to drive from Kansas down to Florida and show up in your driveway just to taste some of it. Keep up the good work and I'll be excited to see what you do with this as a I think practical Gardening Guide that all of us could use. Thanks again for all the work you're doing all these videos and sharing them with us.
rablackford1 - that feedback is so good! Thank you for that! So glad you were able to gain some goodness from our featured footage! The idea is to be detailed enough that each person gets full value, but simple enough that it remains digestible & inspiring instead of intimidating. Jim has a good way of teaching that way & we will be sure to preserve the integrity.
Joseph Nieboer - I feel super fortunate to have crossed paths with Jim. I'm really happy that I was able to help him share his inspiring work with the community through Justin's vlogs & especially that now I'm able to capture it with our own channel. The project is turning out great & we are excited to share it! The structure of it has come together nicely & now we are working on fine-tuning.
Really enjoy your videos always - particularly enjoyed the closing segment in slow-motion - the beauty of not industrialized farming that Mr. Kovaleski is doing. Thank you for another amazing video interview and tips along the way!
Stumbled upon your site. You are an inspiring person. Wish I could spend a month following you around and learning the basics. I have 11 acres in NE Oklahoma. I am going to try and prepare a garden site this fall.
No fruit or veggie stands in my area at all. 0 NPR Fl Hats off to this guyMan he goes from Maine to Fl every yr what an extreme weather shock that must. Must really have a vast knowledge of growing things .
Wonderful video. This method needs to be shared more. Mulch works but still involves cutting down trees. This sequesters carbon AND makes your plants grow better.
First time I am seeing you doing slow-motion shots of beauty, like in a bee landing on the flower head. What is Maine and Jim's garden doing to you, my friend?
larolimu - Jim has done so much for me, as a grower & as a person, but I can't take full responsibility for the slow motion beauty shots. That was Mel with the new Sony camera ;)
I started using grass clippings a couple years ago. it definitely keeps to ground moist. it is the only way I found to keep my Cole crops from dying these past two summers. even though I can water every day.
Thanks for the video. I found it inspiring as I will soon be in a position where the availability of water is an issue. To compound the issue, I live in the tropics. It's a pity I did not get to see most of the initial set up.
NEW SUB HERE! Off and on for a few years now I've been looking into no-till farming and cover crops...etc, but this is amazing! I plan on learning a lot! Thank you!
i have treeline on east and west sides of my place that block-out large part of my sunlight. I am jealous of the clear land around your place. thanks for info on how to maybe deal with a drought
Did Jim make his own well in FL? I have seen video of using PVC pipes, and the water table is not too deep in SWFL, is there a video of you or Jim digging a well?
@@msdaisy6949 your knowledge is limited and your choices of word show insensitive you are. Thats the problem in the world people think they live in some paradise and others live in shit.Please travel and read about places before commenting. And India is for animals then surely it will be a better place cos humans turn everything into hell peace out
@@msdaisy6949 Have you been to San Francisco lately? India and China are developing while Western cities turn into cesspools, complete with gang rapes and street pooping.
@@THANKAMKUMARAN I find India a fascinating place, but I wouldn´t want to go there anytime soon. All I hear of it recently is bad press (corruption, pollution, overpopulation, rape, Hindu-ultra-nationalists, murder for stupid reasons, playing with fire at the borders...). Maybe, it isn´t that bad, because after all, it shouldn´t be hard to find some really despicable people amongst 1 billion... Similarly, Russia has a rich history and strong connections to Europe historically and yet most Europeans know more about Japanese culture and language... Maybe, you guys need to work on your public image...
Could this work in Texas near El Paso, in more desert conditions?? I have acquired undeveloped land in the middle of nowhere. Would like to have a garden someday out there.
This whole video is INCREDIBLE. I have recently discovered your channel, and as an aspiring climate justice advocate/gardener, & fellow Floridian, ROCK ON! 💚🙌🏼🌳 Quick question. Could you potentially include/link some content about how to grow food in your yard as a renter, & some general points about how that might be approached in the best way?
So he pythes (something like that with the big blade thingy) the grass, puts the grass clippings around the plants and that keeps him from having to water? It rains sometimes and the grass holds the water in the ground?
formally known as a scythe, but you have the right tool & the right ideas in mind. We're hoping to do a Q & A as the project starts to wrap up. Have to mention that our boots were damp walking through the beds each morning we were there. My thought is that it's not only rain water, but evaporation/condensation being held under the grass also.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL. And morning dwe. Is Jim selling those sythes? If so ask him to bring some to Florida. I have a son who hates the weed whacker.
Good tip for making videos: *show (video is a visual art after all) the process you're talking about. I love the 'idea' of what Jim's saying, but can you do a little expo on how it's done? Is he growing the grass? How tall does he let it get? What does he cut it with? etc.
How does he plant garlic and potatoes? I’m going to try this grass fed method, well I’ve already been doing it for some crops. Does he plant the bulbs in the fall and cover with a bit of grass?
Really like the music! Maybe Neil Young? Would it be a mistake to mulch with field hay and all the seed that comes with it or would a solution be to just keep mulching on top of the hay?
When i mulch with grass that is fresh (you can also wait that it dries in the sun) i take care of having a first layer of something not able to take root easily, or/and i 'tile' the grass in a way that the white part and its roots doesnt touch the ground (i wish im enough clear, as english isnt my mother language..)
If I cut backyard lawn short, I could use square foot gardening template to plant garlic bulbs as long as I cordon off garden rows? I do not have to rip out all of the sod or till the grass? Would this really work? I live in coastal South Carolina, and you dig one to two feet and you hit water.
well water/moisture is still needed but rather than a hose or buckets of water it is being transferred from decomposing organic material in this case *GRASS* .
Hello Pete. Very inspiring and informative video again. Thank you! Is it possible to visit Jim in Maine? I would like to visit him and learn from him and volunteer for him. Can I ask for his complete address? Thanks!
Super quality video and (I'm trying to think of an even greater superlative) world saving content. More people doing this with more community involvement and we wouldn't have any problems or need to go fuck with other countries. Maybe we could export people like this to help them and learn whatever they knew that we could borrow. No idea what the Syria situation is but I'm sure the people there, like people everywhere, would be happy with food on the table and security.
HEY GUYS, IF YOU TAKE THE STEMS OFF THE TOMATOES, THERE IS LESS OF A CHANCE THAT THEY'LL POKE EACH OTHER😃😀😄😊MY DAD, AN IOWA TRUCK FARMER INSISTED STEMS OFF. THANX FOR AWESOME CONTENT!
Tina Hoerchler - we visited Jim in Robinson, Maine for this Video series & his season there is nearly ending now, as of October. Next week, he will be traveling down to New Port Richey, FL to grow food for the winter season. The video description might explain a little more for you or the webpage link. The pick of the garden is a great idea, right?

Is that possible to apply this method to warmer climates?
I live in Texas. This summer we got up to 111 and triple digits from May to August. Can your method work in that kind of climate?
I love this kind of people who give for the society everything but still are humble

Would love to see an in depth interview with Jim. He seems like he would have some interesting perspectives and back story :)

Most any organic material will work not just grass. Wood chips are great too.

So can a hugelgarden.

I would really like to hear more about using salt with brassica's

Brassica's evolved on the coasts of countries. In GB, you can still see wild cabbage growing by the coast. Therefore, a lot of salt.
Did Jim make his own well in FL? I have seen video of using PVC pipes, and the water table is not too deep in SWFL, is there a video of you or Jim digging a well?
In India Punjab it was called maru kheti meaning farming without water

What's your average rain fall and average temperature and soil type
All these things have to be factored in
Could this work in Texas near El Paso, in more desert conditions?? I have acquired undeveloped land in the middle of nowhere. Would like to have a garden someday out there.

Lol. Climate justice.
What a cool guy!

pythes - no, he scythes.
He scythes. It is scythe. Not a big bladey thing. Ye gods. Ever see a depiction of Death as the Grim Reaper? He carries a scythe.

Late reply but perhaps the other videos with Jim, listed in the notes of this video, have the full procedure. I'm going to go check them and see.
Wow amazing garden great wisdom ...
I'm inspired. Thank you. I can benefit from this knowledge.
What an inspirational video!
How does he plant garlic and potatoes? I’m going to try this grass fed method, well I’ve already been doing it for some crops. Does he plant the bulbs in the fall and cover with a bit of grass?
They are planted in the spring before he heads to Maine, by slips.
So beautiful. Thank you.
Jacqueline - it is our honor! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I love beautiful gardens.
Oh I love this guy video. I wondered where he disappeared to?
He is back in FL for the Fall/ Winter
No water is impossible to grow in my country cos it is too hot. Who live in hot country too?
Florida is pretty hot, but we get rain in the summer. It’s all about living soils. No one waters the forest
Another great vid P....blessings !!
Thanks!
I got my 1st cucumber today while watering , zi eas so ecited ad the lil' vine struggled during summer.
Brigitte LM - our cuc's have always been difficult with the humidity here in FL.
AWESOME!
Really like the music! Maybe Neil Young? Would it be a mistake to mulch with field hay and all the seed that comes with it or would a solution be to just keep mulching on top of the hay?
Better to cut your hay before it does seeds. When you buy hay bales its harder to be sure of it doh...
I would like to know if you have any issues growing unwanted grasses in your garden due to your mulch?
How do you keep the garden weed free? I mulched my garden with some grass and now the grass is sprouting everywhere.
When i mulch with grass that is fresh (you can also wait that it dries in the sun) i take care of having a first layer of something not able to take root easily, or/and i 'tile' the grass in a way that the white part and its roots doesnt touch the ground (i wish im enough clear, as english isnt my mother language..)
What kind of grass do you use, and how tall is the grass when its cut?
If you like this video ,I think you will like a book , One Straw Revolution by Masanabu Fukuoka.
A new way of thinking that counters the view that nature needs to be conquered. That way lies death.
Yes! Great book.
Loved One Straw Revolution. Retired a year ago. Put 85 loads of free mulch on my land in last 3 months. Fruit trees are loving it.
"help is coming for the bags" 12 year old shows up, hell yea
Wow thats amazing, I think Jim needs a wheel barrow to carry the large water bottle all that way.
Great article on grass!
+Dawn McLaughlin - Glad to see you had the time to read it 👍
If I cut backyard lawn short, I could use square foot gardening template to plant garlic bulbs as long as I cordon off garden rows? I do not have to rip out all of the sod or till the grass? Would this really work? I live in coastal South Carolina, and you dig one to two feet and you hit water.
Very nice Sir very good Sir
What do you think about dealing with the heat in texas
Crazy beets . Good stuff
what type of grass are you putting down , hay would sprout ??
I have a question. What about the snow? There must be snow in that area in winter. Does snow help? To maintain water in the land?
Please clarify what it is that allows for the little watering. He mentioned bringing in grasses?
Bio-Active soil + grass clippings as a mulch layer that locks in the moisture
no water needed?
well water/moisture is still needed but rather than a hose or buckets of water it is being transferred from decomposing organic material in this case *GRASS* .
Hey guys great video! Dose Jim not have slug problems from the grass mulch?
I saw ducks, they eat the slugs.
Hello Pete. Very inspiring and informative video again. Thank you! Is it possible to visit Jim in Maine? I would like to visit him and learn from him and volunteer for him. Can I ask for his complete address? Thanks!

Where you located at I was wondering about the pick of the garden
Tina Hoerchler - we visited Jim in Robinson, Maine for this Video series & his season there is nearly ending now, as of October. Next week, he will be traveling down to New Port Richey, FL to grow food for the winter season. The video description might explain a little more for you or the webpage link.
The pick of the garden is a great idea, right?
Hello from Kennebunkport
Hello 👋
