  • 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.

The Underrated Fresh Fall Pea
Q: How do you keep hands warm during chilly harvest mornings when washing produce?
Use a two-layer approach: a thin, warm inner glove and a separate, thinner waterproof outer glove; for wash stations, wear cotton or wool underneath with a rubber outer layer to keep hands dry while maintaining warmth.
Seed Saving While Market Gardening
Q: What does the process of getting a seed contract look like?
Start by contacting local or larger seed companies to see if they take on seed growers for contracts; they will assess your seed growing experience, propose a crop, and discuss price, quantity, and terms. If you lack experience, you may be asked to grow a trial crop or to grow on spec.
Are Your Farm and Garden Goals Achievable?
Q: Can you recommend tools to help plan and track planting schedules for 10-20 raised beds?
A simple spreadsheet is typically the cheapest and most effective starting point; you can track planting dates, bed-level revenue, and seed costs, and only move to software when you scale beyond about 20 beds.
Are Your Farm and Garden Goals Achievable?
Q: One, how do the experts figure out whether their crop plan is an attainable goal? Is there some metric that helps you know if you can actually do it?
The approach is to start with a realistic budget and payment goal, apply a 30% failure rate in the early years, and then sum up the rent per bed to see if the overall revenue meets the goal; adjust crops and bed allocations as needed.
Growing Onions and Other Alliums Over the Winter
Q: How does one mound up potatoes in this situation about an abundance of compost and disrupting wood chip pads?
There are two viable paths: continue mulching as the potatoes grow using carbon-rich materials like straw, hay, or compost, or move wood chips from the paths onto the beds as a mulch and then later replace them in the paths, essentially cycling the chips to build soil structure while maintaining weed control and drainage.
