  • 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.

My Lessons in Living Pathways (so far) + Designing My Perfect Farm Land
Q: Hey Jesse, I have a question about terminating a crop that's failing here in southern New Jersey.
Terminate or rotate based on whether the pest or disease can be contained; if not, pull affected crops, protect the rest, and consider breaking the cycle by avoiding the host crop next season, while prioritizing disease/pest control and soil health to reduce future risk.
Going from One Crop to Another + What Makes a Crop "Profitable" (or Worth Growing)
Q: Is there any value in using leftover high tunnel plastic for weed control or solarization, and how long should clear plastic stay on the soil?
Clear plastic can be used for solarization for short periods to manage weeds and disease, but it can also dehydrate soil and reduce beneficial microbes if left on too long; black tarps heat the soil less but can stay on longer for weed suppression, and both need to be sealed properly for best results.
Total Melon Breakdown + Which Crops Make the Most Sense in a Tunnel
Q: Hey Jesse, hoping you can break down how you think about what is best grown in a hoop house slash unheated cover and what is best grown in the field.
The host explains that the decision depends on market needs, climate, disease pressure, and crop type, with a focus on extending seasons and maximizing space, while noting certain crops like tomatoes, peppers, and basil can benefit from tunnel production, and slower crops are better kept in fields.
What Frost Does to Potatoes + How We Did Our Hedge Rows
Q: In humid regions like Mississippi, what strategies help strawberries cope with disease pressure and soil-borne issues?
Identify the specific disease, select resistant varieties when possible, consider planting cover crops and adding compost to improve soil health, and explore protective measures such as a miniature tunnel to reduce leaf moisture and pathogen pressure, plus timing tweaks to minimize disease exposure.
What Frost Does to Potatoes + How We Did Our Hedge Rows
Q: Can you discuss your hedgerows moreโ€”what species, how they're organized, what parts of the property they occupy, how you propagate them?
The hedgerows were approached gradually, starting with annuals in wedge-shaped ground between plots due to slope, and slowly integrating perennials like comfrey, elderberry, sassafras, and flowering companions. Propagation emphasizes natives and slow expansion, with attention to soil prep, mulch, and microclimates to ensure long-term viability.
