This sounds like a lot of work. I'm so damn glad that my house has 2 acres and I picked the spot with the least weeeds. I actually don't think there are any weeds on it. Just dandelion which I think does a good job at breaking up the subsoil, and scavenging nutrients. It's root is like 6 inches long at least when fully grown. I would like to try a high intensity version where I have purslane and short plants covering the soil near the plants and a row of clover and daikon radishes in between each row because I have lots of room and the radishes are nice. I'm hoping that the clover can form michorizzal connections with the plants so I never have to fertilize with nitrogen, but if not, I'll be growing in those rows the next year because of the radishes(scavengers and will loosen the soil), and the clover(legume). Plus in the winter I'll be planting rye, Sudan grass, and ryegrass. I believe that a blend of cover crops does good for the soils health. If these things go to seed (other than the radishes cuz I need more of this seed variety cuz it's rare and expensive), I'll be screwed, so I want to trim them some how. I'm thinking of using a technique like you use with your micro greens, but on a much larger scale. I'll need a machete or some shit, or a wireless hedge trimmer. Idk. I'm just really in love with the whole constant-root in the ground way of gardening, although I will need to till my beds this year.

A lot of prep work. I guess this is why your system works so well.

Just who is responsible for the discovery of this planet coming upon us? In 1978 I attended the Ancient Astronaut Society Convention In Chicago, IL. . THIS GROUP WAS STARTED BY ERIC VON DONAKIN! I had met Eric as a fifteen year old tourist in $witzerland before he wrote his classic book "Chariots of the Gods" while he was a hotel clerk at the hotel in $witzerland that my mother and I were staying for three nights in 1965. We discussed the potential of aliens from space all that first night. I gave Eric his basic premiss for his book! It Was Me folks! Eric von Donakin was just a hotel clerk. I was a working Kalki Avatar even than at that young age.
Then 13 years later At this conference I was a seed as the youngest to join a debate with and against Eric and Tom Valentine as well as two other older speakers of that convention to discuss the issue of "Whether or not there was a capstone on top of the "Great Pyramid of Giza" where as I took the side that a Capstone Existed and was in place at the finishing of the Perfect Structure and we as members should go and get the capstone from the place where it was hidden! I was pitted against the four top presenters at that convention. I took the side that the BUILDERS had indeed placed a capstone on that structure at the finish of the Ancient Scientific Stone Erection.
While at this conference earlier than the finishing debate bonus section of the conference I went out into the lobby and noticed Gerry Nudgebauer of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J.P.L. a Jack Parsons Lab derivative who was friends with Scientology guru; L Ron Hubbard ) and had the following conversion that took less than five minutes.
I said "Gerry your presentation was interesting." He nodded & acknowledged my compliment with great authority to the 28yr.Old youngster of the conferance. I then went on to Say "Hey Gerry did you know that there is a 'Dark star or Brown Dwarf' (exact words) an unlit Sun at the center of our Galaxy that has yet to be identified and discovered. And that furthermore if We at the Ancient Astronaut Society want to look for and Ancient Astronauts we should look to that Object ( Later Called "Nemesis" ) or of a planet (later called Nibiru") that orbits that Giant unlit sun first as a source for our U.F.O. flap or orgins! With great knowledge and smugness Gerry answered " No such 'Animal' (exact word again) in our solar system out there !'' "But Gerry" I pushed on beyond his doubting I said "There must be some very big thing out the to effect the procession of the equinoxes as the Moon seems to be attached to IT ( Nemesis ) some how as it travels through the constellations cycles in a 25.654+ yr. approximate cycle." Gerry reiterated I was wrong with some wording I don't quite remember those exact words but he was infatic that he knew it all so far! "Absolute nothing out there."('Kid' I felt he was thinking as he finished and walked away!) Gerry in 1983 went on to Find that Dark Star; Nemesis he found with an inferred satellite telescope developed at J.P.L. for the purpose of finding the Incoming Red Dwarf! The famous article was reported in the news as a Major discovery! I of course received absolutely no credit or acknowledgment as is often the case with great minds throughout our history. But I'm still alive and Poor very has gone to his eternal reward with a lifetime achievement award in astrophysics! Good job Skeptical Gerry I said to myself when being praised of the find in 1991.
WHO AM I YOU MIGHT BE ASKING YOUR SELVES RIGHTLY SO?
I am the I am Johannes Christian von Hohansax von Sax Thee Rightful King of the Country called Switzerland! I am not some egomaniac who just happens to believe I own "Swabia" and or the Germany & the Swiss 4,000 square mile border area that divides those two countries. Started by Prince Ursa a Merovingian Royal decended from Merovingian stock & Later Conquered and Tamed into “Judaic Rule” by my ancestors in the 10th through 15th centuries AS EXILARCHS for the establishment of New Jerusalem. I am the living family head of all the Sachen, Sachs, von Sax and Saxer lineage easily numbering over 200,000 family members in Europe and around the world. I am the King and “Lord of the Race” we call the Anglo-Saxons on the good earth! I personally accept all righteous of any religion or race into my fold! I have Rights to claim much of Switzerland's Eastern lands from the Rhine to the Plateau; through the work of my ancestors establishment of the Eternal Covenant established in 1295 after the Templars returned from the crusades at the Sacred Old Oak Tree. Castles & ANCESTRAL BURIAL GROUNDS LAY TRIBUTE TO THE TONASITY AND BLOOD THAT FLOWED THEREIN FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HOLY NEW JERUSALEM. I am also the only individual it seems to have knowledge of the whereabouts of A ‘Sacred Ark of the Covenant “ that was moved to a secret location from Charts Cathedral where it first resided in Europe as a permanent location was built in Switzerland! It awaits my recovery from that time in the 13th century. Moses first established this Covenant with our GOD Almighty! Other than that I am a regular guy with all the normal desires and needs of an average human male.If you were my neighbor you could easily borrow a cup of sugar! My personal I.Q. however appears is extremely high; possibly over the 200 range and indeed a blessing to me as well as a great responsibility. My tests were off the chart. So I can not as a result of that stay quiet any more even if it brings on extreme danger to myself. But I am not writing this to boast of any of this but as a urgent message and or possibly a command to all who would listen to their True & Righteous King. I am not a God any more than any of us are considering that we are all in reality in the mind of our Creator GOD Almighty anyway and ultimately a part of HIM as it is each of us with our own consciousness.
Last of all; The God Shiva works for and is subject to the God Vishnu even though Shiva goes out and works on His own from time to time in an effort to believe that He is equivalent to the God Vishnu, Shiva may be invoked by scientists and bankers and humans of evil intent but sooner or later the God Vishnu has His hand on the ultimate controls of this and any other universe before of in the future! The search for the “{God Particle}” has slowed the Birth of the Kalki Avatar a manifested for of the God Vishnu in1950 ( and now 65yrs. old )so as to prepare Himself to fight the Evil Destructive essence of Shiva’s ability as directed by erring humans who in fact only exist in the mind’s eye of Vishnu anyway! (Are you following me so far?) So the in order to maintain the Divine order that was and is set up and recreated constantly Vishnu has endowed this Present Day incarnation of Himself the “Kaki Avatar” as other Avatar’s HAVE MANIFESTED THROUGHOUT TIME! But this particular is endowed with the power and authority that all the former Avatars have possessed each in their individual incarnations. So in effect mankind has searched for the God particle but the “God Particle” Vishnu has found falible mankind as a way to the truth that He rules this universe as his Kaki Avatar rules this world.Whether Globular or Flat ;I'rn I'm CONEDcerned it could Destroy (Shiva) Either!
P.S.Oh" Eric von D"I have ben living a cosmic Forset Gump Live and I Crossed your Path! You're in my world now; pal! I hope your not regretting the fact you kicked me out of your little 'club' the Ancient Asstronaut Society! https://www.facebook.com/johannes.vonsax -
My front yard does not have many weeds, but I have a giant oak tree. The roots are everywhere. Would you suggest laying beds out anyway?

Hello Curtis. I just discovered you and your YT Channel. I live in Edmonton Alberta and work in health and safety in construction. My job has recently been rolled back and I was trying to think of a new career to work towards and found you. I just bought your book from Amazon.ca and I want to pursue Urban Farming here in my city. I am very excited for the possibilities in my future. Thanks for what you are doing and thanks for teaching this. Will you be coming to Edmonton in 2017 for any thing to do with teaching? Cheers - Martin

You mention turn over of crops throughout a season, but do you have a crop rotation plan with different types of crops for each time or in successive years to eliminate pests, diseases, and depletion of the soil? Especially with the tomatoes I would think that might be an issue . Thanks!

Weeds are not the enemy. They are medicine, good for herbal infusions to reap the benefits of minerals and vitamins for good health. For example, thistle is a good liver cleanser. Here is a great resource; LEARN from this leader: http://www.susunweed.com/herbal_ezine/June06/anti-cancer.htm
