Convert lawn to garden. In this video of weed free market gardening I’m going to show you exactly how we converted a 20-year old overgrown plot of land, into a …

I'm lucky because our town composts all the leaves from the city and then you can get it for free, of course since it's free you are not allowed to fill a truck with it. Just buckets full. It's not very far from my house, so I can just drive there on a regular basis and fill the buckets I have been collecting. The bags of leaves have to be open, when they collect them, in case people want to add things that are not leaves (like weeds). In which case they will reject them. My paths are a lot wider, since I am old and my balance is not that great. I can see why the beautiful looking bed attract customers.
Great review on how to be weed free. I started my space this autumn with clearing overgrowth and put in amendments based on soil test and planted cover crop. Now in the spring I will build my beds and fill in the paths with wood chips. I will add cardboard. That is something I did not think of. I am planning to use cloth with holes spaced for transplants. Can always move them to other beds when I am looking to rotate crops. More good ideas to use in the spring for direct sow rows.
Geweldig. Ziet er goed uit! Dankjewel voor je informatie, en voor je e-book (heb het idd net gedownload) Je laat hier precies onze droom zien… ooit doen wij ook mee… maar het lijkt me geweldig om jullie proces te volgen!
Great video Moreno!! After talking with you, we are in the process of converting to no dig no till. A few months ago we prepared 7 beds, 30 inch X 30 feet long, with 18” walkways. Covered beds with approx. 4 inches of compost, then covered the whole thing with a huge silage tarp. The tarp covered the new beds plus area for 2 more plots that we will hopefully have time and money to also compost in the spring. We had been tilling this area for the last several years and weeds pretty much always won that battle. Can’t wait to pull that silage tarp off in the spring and start this new approach. My only trepidation,,,,the compost. I bought it in bulk from a local garden center. They say it is weed and chemical free so I have to trust them. But I would love to make my own compost, it seems quite easy. I’m just not sure it is feasible to produce the amount of compost needed for our farm. Thanks for the video, keep them coming!
Thanks for the video and insight. How many beds of what size do you have? Did you have weed issues only putting down a couple of inches of compost instead of the 4-6 inches? We only top dress with 1 in or so and I keep think that if we were to make that initial 4-6 in investment we'd have much less weed pressure.
