The video is interesting but I did not understand at the end his words. It seems to me that he is getting lost in digressions, but perhaps we should look at the whole of the conf, as I will do one of those four. I did not understand because it seems to criticize the composting and at the same time it fits into the metaphor of the immense bread dough or the art of fermentation to evoke the gardening.

we did not have to see the same : Mrgreen:
there he's just talking about how to feed the plants and that for example an excess of OM can be harmful, while Didier advises us to go free with OM, that's why I would like his opinion, that he enlightens us with his "technical" lights if his condition obviously allows it.

It's because you did not see the end of the video.

I had seen one from Welsch, but I'm not sure it's that one. And I do not remember it very well.

From Welsch, I tend to regard him as one of the best of MSV.

I will look. Even if I do not like you to wait for my opinion!

say that if I recommended it is that I found it well, and that I made my own opinion, but as said above it speaks of a possible excess of MO on the surface which would produce an anaerobic blocking which would be harmful (of course) to life on the ground, and that on your side when we talk to you to put the MO on the surface you say we can go free, so as you have more experience than me in this domain, could you enlighten us on this (rather than give us your opinion on the video as a whole) what would be the limit not to exceed?

here, it is on this point that I wish to have your opinion, if you prefer as formulation

Hello

little question ? thank you

Having organic mat in excess (herbs, crushed dry stems, comfrey, various greens, dead leaves etc)

so I filled again, and even stuffed my little composter.

But I also have enough hay to cover the garden this winter.

The question arises as to what to do with the contents of the composter:

-or let it compost (cold in my case) for one or two years, and then spread it. But it seems that the "finished" compost, put on the surface, mixes badly with the soil in the garden, no longer being a good enough food for earthworms?

-or spread it out by the end of next winter, in which case it will still be very partially decomposed, and will therefore still be a good food for soil organisms ... except with hay, this will make a lot of MO in one go?

Hello Didier, since we are on a video post MSV that you think of the Youtube channel: Earthworm production.
I saw the video: Summer Universities - K. SCHREIBER - Plants Grow All Alone?

Open letter to friends of Le Potager du Lazy

Dear all, dear friends of the "Potager du Sloth",
Many of you ask me, for visits, conferences, articles, meetings [or here, answers to questions] ... I am delighted. The "ideas" I am defending in gardening are widely echoed. That I would never have suspected. And it goes very fast. The successive reprints of my book are proof of this. It's going too fast, sometimes ...
I had absolutely not imagined, but then not a second, that it could take such a magnitude. And while I was afraid of getting bored during my retirement, I naively opened "all the valves", explored all channels: left my email address on Youtube or at the end of the book, solicited your reactions, invited to come see on the spot…
This summer, I have already struggled to respond to various requests. I filmed videos that I have not yet had time to "go up" and put on line ... People have remained unanswered to their email. I had to learn to say no. I found myself "tired" after weekends where sometimes 5 events were linked! As a precaution, I told my cardiologist ... I have a green light. But I also see that it would be a shame that the "Potager du Sloth" becomes, for me, a chore. Even, for my health, a danger!
Mid-October, an ordinary fall on the bike reminded me to order. As I like to do things, I made ... a real "bad fall"! Double fracture in the shoulder. It is useless to operate, but it will take time to rebuild - 3 or 4 months, says the specialist.
Except some commitments already made and that I will try to hold (conferences, etc), that brings me to suspend a little my activities. I think this break will also be an opportunity to think about a more satisfying organization for me and for those interested in the "Lazy Potager".
A priori, I will continue to produce videos, maybe some in German. It's the easiest way to reach out to as many people as possible. Some have been seen more than 100 000 times; the majority tens of thousands of times. There is 15 000 subscribers. Although I do not think that the good of the "Youtube" system (a subsidiary of Google), it is undeniably effective. And I really say what I want!
Conferences, which, little by little, extend to the national level, are another activity that I would privilege. This direct contact I like a lot. He is "inspiring". These are usually one or several hundred people who are affected. But with travel, it's tiring. I absolutely have to recover at the return ... More and more, I am asked for in-depth cycles, which are similar to formations. Coming from public agricultural education, I really want to support initiatives in the various public agricultural training centers, while developing a sometimes exuberant private offer, sometimes with poor content, and at significant prices ...
For visits to my garden, for which the ratio "time that it takes me / number of people affected" is much less favorable, I will try to see if I am able to set up a blog, with a section in which the Interested people will find the dates of the visits, in limited number, fixed in advance. On the other hand, I will also privilege organized groups (schools, gardeners associations, etc.). To do well, I would have to "manage" this activity: keep lists, make mailings, note to whom I replied ... I do not do it and it's a bit of a bazaar. It is not very correct of me.
Of course, all the questions left unanswered in the first book await answers in a second book, which I hope to tackle this winter, as soon as I recovered the mobility of my right arm. But for that, I must also "put myself in a capsule", quiet ... I do not know how come the ideas, but I know it takes calm. And sometimes walk in the forest and get oxygenated!
I apologize to those who were waiting for a date for a visit, sometimes already promised. I hope I can count on their understanding of these involuntary events, but also in the face of this realization that I must protect myself better.
cordially
Didier Helmstetter, the "Potager du Sloth"

As said above a while ago: you are right.

Being forced to redefine priorities while you feared to be bored here is a nice snub at retirement ... Image

Be careful even for that you will become ... an example Image definitely we do not go out. Image
