  • We would usually pass on watching things like this, but this was actually interesting since he explained things in a detailed way and yet nearly everyone can still understand. He also demonstrated the subject matter in a real-life way versus just using those computer animated videos and drawings

    Awesome and this the best example I have ever seen. Hats off for experimenting in such a wonderful way.

    I believe the most important aspect here is with regards to 'weathering'. Non tilled soil will prevent the washing away of vital nutrients and organic matter, so your field does not look like a deserted tundra after so many years
  • Good day sir. I love the demonstration. I am a young African farmer aspiring to fight hunger, I am in need of coaching. This kind of drills aren't being taught in our schools here

    I have been part of no till operations on a family farm for 40 years and have seen improvements on the land. No body farms the old school way of over tillage of land anymore. Our growing season in Canada is so short that we can't afford or have the time to not do anything but no till. Technology and new grains on the market have helped with greater returns from farming practices. Great video and appreciate you sharing.

    This is one of the better rabbit holes I have jumped into. Thanks for all the great information
  • this is a fantastic visual illustration... thank you for your efforts..
  • @manjunathp7291
    It was a nice clear demonstration and good proof.Great work! Thank you!
  • Very interesting presentation. Quiet amazing to see the difference in such a way. Thank you!
  • Youtube actually suggested this video to me, and I'm glad it did. It's a great demonstration!

    My proposal for quicker gets better soil( like on this non till) is USING effective microorganism. Really helpfully, you will see.
  • @maggief6653
    Excellent demonstration, thank you very much!
  • no till saves money time and my soil along with water i am extremely happy I went no till
  • @przybyla420
    He just touched the tip of the iceberg listing the benefits of organic matter.
  • @zen4men
    Brilliant demo. ...... Saved the link, as will return to it again.
  • These techniques used in the video can be replicated in your Garden or Farm. I worry that the soils ability to hold moisture will become a must have in the future due to altered weather patterns.
  • Great video and good work I know now no till is 💯% better 🌳👍🏾
