The video you provided appears to be a detailed tutorial on creating a garden bed using a no-dig or lasagna gardening technique. The person in the video starts by laying out cardboard to suppress weeds, followed by layers of hay, chicken and cow manure, and compost. This method involves not digging the soil but building layers of organic materials to create a fertile planting bed. The video also mentions the benefits of not disturbing the soil to prevent weed growth and activate dormant weed seeds. The process is shown step by step, including explanations of why certain materials are used and how they contribute to the garden's fertility.
1. The speaker is working on a garden and mentions that they have been productive through winter, with a focus on cabbages and vegetables.
2. The speaker has been using a method known as "no dig gardening" and mentions that they use materials like Alfalfa or Lucerne straw and leguminous trees like taga sasti to add fertility to the soil.
3. The speaker explains that they are not digging up the soil because they believe that disturbance can activate dormant weed seeds.
4. They mention that they are using a method called "sheet composting" where they are composting right where the plants are, creating a fungal network that helps to distribute nutrients.
5. They mention that they are using goat manure and cow poo as part of their composting process, explaining that the goat manure helps to break down the carbonaceous material in the compost.
6. They also mention that they have a worm farm in their shed made out of a cut down IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container), which is used to help break down the compost.
7. The speaker talks about the importance of mulching the compost before planting seedlings into it, explaining that it helps to keep the compost moist and warm, which aids in germination.
8. They mention that the best planting season for them is in the next couple of weeks and that they are planning to plant more seedlings into the compost soon.
9. The speaker concludes by stating that they are growing enough food to gift their family some and give some away, and that they can feed themselves.
