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.

Too much non farming content and a lot of ads for the 5 minutes of good material.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fall Beet Breakdown (Beetdown?) + Cover Crops for Compost Fodder

Q: What plants might you add or remove from this mix, and should you consider root depths when deciding which plants to use together?

The mix is largely fine for the goals, and root-depth diversity is already adequate; you should include a mix of root depths overall and there's no need to force more deep or shallow-rooted species exclusively. In terms of fertility, if you're cutting clean and removing biomass for compost, you'll need to plan for some ongoing fertility inputs later; otherwise, clovers and a grain can help with regrowth and nitrogen dynamics, but perennial components require re-planting or re-plowing later if you want to use the land for crops again.

Answering Your Mid-Summer Garden Questions LIVE with Farmer Jesse

Q: How do you handle cucumber beetles without harsh chemicals?

Covers during flowering, fertility management, and robust soil health are the main preventive measures; waiting to plant, and using netting and timely irrigation help reduce pressure before resorting to sprays.

Answering Your Mid-Summer Garden Questions LIVE with Farmer Jesse

Q: What should you plant in six inches of mulch for garlic harvest before fall in zone 4B?

Options include fall brassicas like kale or mustards, chard, and possibly fast-mrowing beans if frost risk is manageable; summer squash might be squeezed in, but timing is tight, so you'd likely transplant rather than direct seed.

Answering Your Mid-Summer Garden Questions LIVE with Farmer Jesse

Q: Rice update: what varieties are you planting and how are they performing?

There are three dry-land rice varieties, including one Arborio-type that is the fastest to seed and market-ready; other varieties are slower to seed and harvest, with different resilience to wet/dry conditions. A full update will be provided closer to harvest.

How to Make Your Compost Better (Yes, Biochar Gets a Shout)

Q: What do you think about using biochar to deactivate herbicides in soil?

The host reviews literature suggesting that biochar can reduce herbicide efficacy in some conditions by binding chemicals and slowing their bioavailability, while noting that results vary by herbicide, biochar type, and conditions. The host advises caution and highlights the need for more evidence before making broad recommendations, while acknowledging potential remediation interest in contaminated soils.
