  • Farming is Cool

    Loved the original NTG interview format, crop specific vids and Mimi’s episodes! Jesse’s got a great radio voice especially when the cadence is at a conventional speed.

  • Had to drop it

    The world is crazy, I get it.

    I just want to learn on gardening and enjoy a podcast. When the “Palestine” political discussion had to be addressed -Im out. Unfollow.

    Don’t know why people feel like they need to cut their audience in half on divisive issues. Issues that neither side actually listens to true unbiased facts but to talking heads and social media.

    Good content otherwise, its a shame

  • Soil science and hope

    I’ve had Jesse in my ear for the last year, and I’m so grateful. I came for the farming advice, and I’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.

Taking Stock After the First Fall Frosts
Q: What would cause this damage in the video? We've lost more than half of our cabbages in a bed. Also, should we replace the lost plants?
Jesse says girdling at the base could indicate cutworms, while root damage may involve millipedes, root-knot nematodes or club root. He recommends digging around damaged plants to find pests and consulting a local extension agent about possible disease. He would avoid replanting in the damaged area until the cause is clearer.
Everything You Can Plant Before Winter Hits
Q: I am looking to buy a chipper shredder for our farm. As always, there are a million recommendations for different pieces of equipment. Wanted to see if anyone had a good model they like to use. Main uses are for shredding crop residue like tomato vines, corn stalks, brassicas, but also being able to chip our pruning branches.
Jesse says a chipper shredder is usually difficult to justify for a small farm unless it has substantial chipping needs. He suggests considering a PTO-connected BCS model, hiring a commercial chipping service, or finding a service willing to chip a pile in exchange for taking excess wood chips.
U-Pick Blueberry Economics and More with Max Boudreau of Winslow Farm
Q: How long ago was that?
Max first learned about permaculture, no-till, and Masanobu Fukuoka's ideas in college around 2008, began farming in 2010 or 2011, and started out using conventional tillage before developing a no-till approach.
U-Pick Blueberry Economics and More with Max Boudreau of Winslow Farm
Q: Can you kind of break out the u-pick thing for us for a minute? How does that work?
Customers receive carriers for six to eight pints, pick the berries themselves, and pay five dollars per pint. The farm opens picking in early July and generally continues through August.
Getting in Good With Restaurants
Q: Can you elaborate a little bit maybe on the packaging thing?
Jamie says his farm uses bags or boxes and arranges stems and greens neatly, while limiting plastic and preparing produce so chefs are excited to open and use it.
