VIDEO//Starting a No-Till Market Garden: The Bare Essentials

I realize there are a lot of our readers and viewers of the Rough Draft Farmstead YouTube channel who don’t need the technical details of how to flip a bed just yet, but need some insight into the basics of how to get into the business, no-till style. So, I’ll be doing more beginning farmer videos to help give folks just getting into the trade the absolute basics of starting a no-till farm from scratch, including what works for us at Rough Draft Farmstead as well as others, and things we might have done differently knowing what we know now.

Everyone's bare essentials will be different but I feel as though these cover the vast majortiy of what one would need to start a no-till market garden from scratch. Two glaring omissions? Education and the stirrup hoe. Invest in those, too. Anyway, CLICK ALL THE LINKS!

I definitely missed a few things (the stirrup hoe, for one, education for another) so feel free to add your own ideas in the comments. Better still, take the conversation to the grower’s community where we’ve started a thread about the bare essentials of no-till farming.

Our purpose is to bring you—the farmer—the best no-till growing content out there for free. Did you get something out of this video? Do you want to see more of these? If you found this post to be of value, and want to see No-Till Growers grow, support our work for as little as $2/month on Patreon or Venmo/Paypal. We need your help to reach $1,000/month to do season two of the podcast, run the site, and bring you EVEN BETTER no-till and regenerative veg content. Folks, we’re just getting started. Let’s move no-till veg forward!
