Richard Perkins (YouTube host) invites viewers to contribute photos of commercially run no-dig market gardens for a community showcase video. He frames the project as a way to connect and celebrate regenerative farmers (particularly in Europe), specifies the target practice (surface-applied compost with wood-chip pathways), and requests submissions including a photo, farm name and country via an on-screen email. The clip references previous projects (Egg Mobile, Farm Like a Hero tour) and links to the channel's book and trainings.
Chapters
Welcome back to another episode, folks. And I've recently put out a video on our channel detailing a bunch of your eggmobiles from 20 different countries on four continents. People that have started up egg production based on Ridgedale style eggmobiles and something I've really enjoyed doing the Farm Like a Hero tour around Europe, speaking to 75 of the best regenerative farmers and hearing all about their stories and helping connect people together. Because we have some of the best farmers in the world here in Europe and often people are looking abroad on the Internet when we have all the resource base we need here. And certainly for those of you aboard who are following the channel, there's so much wealth of knowledge and cultural nuance here in Europe that there's a lot that we can be grateful and can learn from. And so with the recent Egg Mobile video, I thought it would be really great to make another video in the same way and use my platform to really share and highlight people and to lift each other up and to connect each other. And I think that is where we need to be heading. And so what I wanted to do is get a video together of no Dig Market Gardening. Now, no Dig is not something new. It's been around for a few decades now, but I think it's fair to say that we've really helped spread commercial no Dig market gardening using wood chips in the pathway. And that's something that those of you that follow our channel will know us for is our squeaky clean, beautiful market gardens. It's coming to the end of the year now, but I thought it's a great time to collect together different farms that are doing no Dig market gardening in this way and make a video promoting each other to get people connected to be able to share their stories, successes, challenges, etc. So if you're commercially no Dig market gardening in this fashion, with compost on the surface, with wood chip pathways keeping things super lean, effective and beautiful. Please send us a photo of your farm to the email address that's popping up now and include the name of your farm and the country you're in and I'll put together a video highlighting all of those beautiful market gardens. It's such a joy to be able to use my platform to share in this way and I think I'll be doing other features in a similar way so we can see around people's slaughtery facilities or whatever it is. And it's a great way to see that things don't need to look a particular way. You know, it's the patterns behind everything that are important, something I've emphasized throughout my education, my book and YouTube channel. So it's a pleasure as always. Thanks so much for sending them in and I look forward to putting that video together for you all.
