  • Soil science and hope

    Iโ€™ve had Jesse in my ear for the last year, and Iโ€™m so grateful. I came for the farming advice, and Iโ€™ve stayed for his incredible attention to what else is possible in a country hellbent on destroying its natural resources.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Smash Your Summer Squash + Preventing Erosion While Starting a Garden
Q: How should one approach spacing and bed design for summer squash to optimize yield and minimize pest issues?
Space plants to allow breathing room and airflow (roughly 18-24 inches between plants, wider rows), ensure good drainage, and use row covers early to protect against pests; rotate crops to reduce pest buildup and maintain soil health.
Smash Your Summer Squash + Preventing Erosion While Starting a Garden
Q: What should a new gardener do to protect a bed after an initial till and before mulching or planting?
Protect with a tarp to suppress weeds and hold soil in place, or use mulch if available; if mulch access is limited, consider a cover crop to manage weeds and help establish soil structure before planting.
Smash Your Summer Squash + Preventing Erosion While Starting a Garden
Q: Is there any value in soil electrical conductivity testing before starting a new farm or market garden?
EC testing can indicate salinity levels and some soil properties like texture and moisture, but for most growers a full soil test will provide more actionable information about nutrients and organic matter; EC is not essential for everyone unless specific circumstances (like saltier soils or tunnel production) apply.
Mulching withโ€ฆ Garlic? + Pre-Paid Farm Cards + Overwintered Dahlias
Q: What are the main advantages and challenges of prepaid farm cards for a small farm?
Advantages include upfront cash flow, a CSA-like pre-order model, and perks for cardholders such as skip-the-line service; challenges involve tracking card balances, handling lost or damaged cards, and communicating the value to customers.
Mulching withโ€ฆ Garlic? + Pre-Paid Farm Cards + Overwintered Dahlias
Q: Good day, and what are the practical uses for the non-saleable parts of crops like garlic leaves?
Garlic leaves and other non-saleable plant material can be repurposed as mulch around fruit trees, composted, or potentially used in creative ways such as poultry nesting material, with the main goal being to minimize waste and improve soil organic matter.
