I now know why mine were leggy last year. too close together. I also direct sowed them.

what kind of kale is the best for juicing? There are different kinds, which one has the most benefits and will really give me that punch our bodies deserve? looking forward to growing and juicing. tired of buying grocery store produce.

Ok on the Kale but what have you done to develop that beautiful soil?

I am jelous of the soil you are using. very soft like cotton wool

Hello what are those huge things growing alongside the kale?
Shallots or onions? Thank you

Where are you? Not one video with sun shining!

do you use rock dust and rotten woodchips to boost growth in your kale?

I grow Scotish kale and yes always grow more than I need, so I dehydrate them and make Kale chips. If you like kale you will LOVE, COLLARD GREENS a native to the SE USA.

Where was this filmed?
It's so beautiful outside! 😭

Why and I guess... how, was the bed so empty and yet nothing else was growing (like weeds)? It didn't look like you had a lot of mulch but just a lot of nice compost on the ground. Usually when I watch gardening/permaculture videos, everything is planted with a lot of mulch to retain moisture, or there's companion planting with a ground cover crop that stays low to the ground to keep the soil shaded. Why not here?

How often do you water when germinating and then growing out in garden?

When you are sprouting the seeds, how often should you water?

Well done! I love my kale. I'm looking forward to doing this next spring.

Hahahaha JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!! who did the subtitles for this video?, I do like the video.

Were are you from?

Mine always gets eaten by slugs :-(

Great video! Wish you showed the process from sowed seed to ready for transplant. Did you grow them with lights or in your greenhouse? How did you do it with the plug trays?

What gorgeous soil! I must admit kale is pretty much bulletproof - mine self seeds from year to year but I still save seeds. I have way too many! Now if I could only keep on top of the caterpillars.......!

What do you out in your soil to make it look so rich? What is your blend?

Does every gardening video use that same music?
