The Essential List of Market Garden Tools

I've thought about getting a seeder but for personal growing, is it worth it for a semi large personal set up

Hey! What about the 6 row seeder from Johnny's seeds?
Looks great, for my homestead anyhoo...🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

Is there a small tractor machine able to handle a 120cm wide bed without rolling on the bed but in the alley only?

Is the BCS machine compacting the soil?

Always great content great camera work great delivery the bestus wit and humor. So far I’m keeping my ark. Been insane spring. Home gardener Eastern Nebraska zone 5B we are over 11 inches for May. Least had earlier ER warmup compared to last several. 😅

If I ever get rich Im building a factory producing old school cool two wheel tractors like the near ancient David Bradleys. Theyll be more affordable and offer higher ground clearance with widely adjustable wheel widths. Nothing wrong with the BCS, just about the only thing available today unless you find a rareity David Bradley or Gravely still in good condition for a good price.

Good advice & very helpful & hello, from down here in Oz.

Pitch fork pun haha

thanks for covering the broadfork, been trying to decide who to go with, now I know. also looking a those Dryshod boots, nice! Thanks

Soil knife by AM Leonard is indispensable. Used for just about everything
Have to buy the sheath! Very sharp

I like your advice

Sing? Awesome

never seen some of this stuff in the UK

Great pitch!
I’m sold

❤❤❤❤❤❤

THANKS YOU ❤

I appreciate the info. I bought an acre with an old house after my divorce and retirement. In my mid 60's and trying to figure out what I am physically capable of for a half Acre market garden. I started a small 15 tree orchard last year. Pruners used there. Mowing the full Acre has been troublesome and exhausting. I tried a 32 x 36 garden this summer, but infrastructures like fencing kept it minimal. I've tarped a 80' x 32' area to kill off the Bermuda grass. I'm wondering what tools would help me out as I get older. My goal is for a little extra cash to do improvements on my 100 year old house and my 50 year old out buildings to be made into a cold room, wash/pack, and greenhouse nursery. They already exist and just need outfitting. This tool list can help with a cost list when I get my home equity line. I just need to figure out if I'll sell enough to pay myself back over 5 years.

Great video ❗️
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge ❗️

Thank you for this! I've been using many of my tools incorrectly after watching this video haha. One question I have is about clothing...I swear, I go through pants/shirt on a daily basis. Do you just "fully accept" that you're going to go through clothing fast as a farmer/gardener? I'm out in the yard daily (after full time job) and especially in the summer time in NC, will be sweating and get mud/dirt/compost etc everywhere on all of my clothes. Do you have specialized clothing or do you just go to walmart and get the cheapest stuff considering it's going to get dirty/destroyed? I tried one of those pants/half shirt overall things but the material it's made out of makes me sweat 5x more. But, the idea behind the purchase was that I can just reuse those overalls, saving the hassle of doing more laundry during peak hours of summer. I just have to remember to put those on haha. Anyways, thought I'd ask. Thanks again and love all your videos. If you're ever in the Charlotte region, hit me up and you can visit our NOT market garden, but loving family garden :)

Great video!

Great info brother & enjoyable to watch

As a singing teacher, I can't wait for your next video ...😁

I absolutely love and would recommend Bootstrap Farmer’s seed trays. Very durable and made in the US.

Nice video

A simple way to mark equal spaced lines I've seen somewhere else is to stick short bamboo sticks or similar on some prongs of a rake to fit your spacing.
Not sure how well this works in reality, for my small hobby garden I don't care about straight lines and equal spacing.

Besides all the farming info you give, I love the music, and your sense of humour Jesse!😸😸

"Trowel on a stick." Yeah, that's nice. I got one at an estate sale. Some inventive person, who was probably frustrated by shovels, made one. He/she cut off the end of a hollow handled trowel, carved down one end of a rake handle to fit, and crammed the two together. Works great.

A tree planters shovel is basically a trovel!!!

I have watched a bunch of your videos (live them) and someday hope to find out what the rotary brush implement is that is in a lot of your earlier videos beginning stock footages that includes the squash.

When looking for a wheelbarrow make sure it has a sturdy frame, many cheaper ones are made from the most plyable tin foil you can imagine. So either invest in a good wheelbarrow or invest in supplies to reinforce the frame.

I really appreciate all the content you put out. its instilling a lot of confidence in me to keep building my garden. My mission is to teach others what i learn along my journey to show an example that you don't need a whole 500 pg book of knowledge to start. I've learned you'll learn something new every season and try new techniques through your whole life of growing food.

I'm 32 live in upstate SC and have watched you and David the Good for years! I gotta give it up for both of yall !!!🎉🎉 My garden this year is looking soo good, other than natural redneck injinuity I use these videos for suggestions and tips and it pays off 100%.. I appreciate your time brotha, bless you!

I gotta stop watching wwii videos since I just clicked on this video thinking it was about operation market garden.

The vast majority of these tools seem to be for tilling and digging. Now I'm confused.

Look up trapping shovels . There's several different types and lengths that are perfect for no till gardening

Post puller is a terrible tool. Hi lift jack and chain does much more.

For flower farmers, pruners are essential. We love our Felco #6 pruners. Felcos are easy to maintain and repair and with occasional blade replacements will last a lifetime.

How do you terminate cover crop with a power harrow? I find our power harrow gets clogged by anything grassy getting wrapped around the tines. @notillgrowers

The trowel you are looking for is a trapper`s trowel or check metal detectorist tools. They both have their own versions of long handle trowels.

Man, I love your videos and the info you provide. My favorite to watch on no till farming

I agree tools are everything and well built ones are a must. I'd like to comment on footwear though. I find garden crocks to be a little expensive and they don't last all that long for me as I'm a heavy guy. I buy rubber boots and just cut them down to crock size, many of them were found at the local used clothing shop for 5 bucks or so.

Yes!!!! Sing the whole next video....do it, do it, do it!!! 🤣

I put a mailbox on a post in my garden! I keep small hand tools like a trowel, pruners, folding saw, knife, gloves, a small first aid kit, garden ties, cordage, an electric fence tester, stuff that I often have to run back to the house to retrieve. It's a cheap, waterproof storage box.

What sprayer do you recommend for foliar sprays? Last year you were trying one out, but you were going to check if the high pressure impacted the microbial life. I am curious if you ever did that experiment?

I didn't watch you over the winter..my other hobbies took over. But I'm back and I missed you! 🤘 Let's grow some shit!

What about the sears david Bradley 2 wheel tractor and equipment.

Getting a broadfork was one of the best tool purchases I've ever made for my backyard garden.

We need TRUVELS!!!
