What is going on, everyone? Welcome back to another awesome episode here on the Epic

Gardening Podcast. This is our final episode with Josh Satin, who is a filmmaker and a farmer,

and really over the last week we've been talking about all sorts of different tips on how

to become a market gardener, what to grow, the basics of no till, being efficient, all that kind

of stuff. And I guess Josh, you know, you've done three farms in four years. I'm sure you've made

your fair share of mistakes. I certainly have in the home garden, but given that I haven't started

a market garden, I figured I'd toss it to you and just say, you know, if someone was starting out,

what are some of the like massive mistakes that they can make that will potentially even just

derail them and discourage them from even continuing? Biggest mistake I'd say is growing on too much

land and growing too many crops. Those are probably, that was two reasons. Those are probably the two

biggest things. I think you quickly, you start growing, you get some success, and then you say, well,

if I only added this many more beds, it's not that much work. It's like, well, wait a minute,

you have to build all those beds, you have to plant all those beds, you have to harvest all those

beds, you might have to weed all those beds. It's not always 2x, if you're doubling space, it's

more than that. And I think the, especially in the warm weather, they can get away from you so quickly.

And I know that when you have a really, let's say, really weedy bed or weedy couple of beds,

it stresses you out when you walk by them. You look at it and you go, I don't want to deal with that.

And then every time you walk by it, it doesn't create joy for you. It doesn't make you positive

on your farm or in your garden. So just try to take a little bit at a time and make sure you can

handle what you can handle. I definitely made the mistake of adding too many beds. At one point,

I covered up, I don't remember maybe 10 beds with landscape fabric because I was like, I can't

control this. I cannot keep these beds planted. Like there was beds that needed to be flipped
