This is a continuation of the last post which I shared some informative YouTube channels in relation to farming and gardening. As I was sharing , I realized my list was pretty long! So I decided to split it up into 2 parts. And I will also share more as I discover new people doing cool things in the garden. .
I would be doing an injustice to this list if I did not mention JM Fortier, who wrote a book The Market Gardener, which I reference on the reg. He has taken many of the tips a la Eliot Coleman and run with them. He operates a farm in Quebec called Le Jardins de la Grelinette (doesn't it just sound beautiful? It actually translates to "Broadfork Farm") with his wife Maude-Helene. He has also started a program called the Masterclass, in which all his secrets of market garden success are revealed in step-by-step instruction with beautiful video. I hope to enroll for the next session in April..we will see!
I am often outside and think "hmm, wonder what is the best way to go about doing this thing?" Many times I look to MIGardener for tips. From what I can tell, he has a backyard garden with mostly raised beds. He has some really to-the-point helpful garden info and I have used many of his techniques a number of times.
I found a lot of gardening, and just all around useful homesteading information from Marjory Wildcraft. She has a huge network of friends who are well-known in their respectful industries and she hosts an online summit each year that I make a point to be a part of. Her YouTube channel Backyard Food has great short videos too.
Another one to mention is Rough Draft Farmstead. They have a Podcast called the No-Till Market Garden Podcast. (ooh, just sparked another idea for a later post!) and have just started a series for beginning farmers and gardeners. Jesse is one of those people I feel like I am already friends with though we have never met.
I could go on for a few more posts I am pretty sure, but I think I have covered most of my favs.
Till next week!
Or should I say, No-till next week? I should share that with my friend Farmer Jesse, he could use it for his podcast. Everyone needs a catchphrase, right?
