Very informative....great for the details.....man was meant to squat...pooping and picking....period. It's called "unhinging the femoral heads". People that live to be 120 years old...do this til' they meet God.

Great presentation. Thanks for sharing this !

Great Content. I have Jean-Martins book. This video really fleshes it out. Doing all of the grading and drainage systems on the outset makes too much sense. Thanks for sharing this information so freely.
-
What type/brand of drainage tiles did you use?
-
What is the elevation of the location you are raising these crops and does it matter since it appears you are doing everything using a greenhouse?
Thanks -
Actually you really don't have a french accent. I have more of a accent than you do. I am from south Louisiana. I have cousins in Laval and the other areas around there and I have friends that live there and come down here during the winter.
Great vid Mon Ami Plus Tard ~!~~! -
Really nice, I am a huge fan of permaculture. But permaculture annoyed me in the sense that eventhough you can produce just fine with permaculture. IT really isn't geared to the have-nots in the world. I look at Sepp Holtzer and I love it, but we don't all come into the world with a million or 3 in property as a farming family, or just wealthy middle class to upper class families. In that sense I came to find permaculture super unrealistic and to boot their books at my current wealth or better call it poverty are a Bleeping rip-off.

Thank you for capturing good sound quality.

I got a broad fork but I need a loan after all I learned from you.. The struggle is real.

These videos are great! Thanks for sharing. I am getting more interested in farming lately. I think growing food is way better than organic landscaping!
