Experimental gardening

I just returned from the PDC at wheaton labs and my 2 experimental gardens are vastly different. I am gardening at my parents farm in a no till plot with cow manure and straw and cardboard/plastic sheeting between to cover the in between areas. The other garden is at my aunts and I have built beds along the shed and built small containers using coffee bags (the liner is the compostable bag the green beans come in, then burlap then compost and organic soil) utilizing the fenced in area that was previously the dog pen. I also went around the yard and found small trees/bushes growing in old plastic pots and put them into the ground along the back of the property then build a log shelter around them to protect from deer. There was a cut log growing a fresh branch and I dug a hole and put that in with a few nettles I dug up to keep it company, also protected with a log shelter. All of my materials were free, found or scavenged in the yards. I saved most of the seeds from previous experimental gardens or bought from strictly medicinal since I love their products and use plants as food and medicine. Here are some photos and I will update as the seasons progress.

I came home and found these potatoes trying to grow, so I started another experiment.  Burlap coffee sack lined potato hole. Hmm. Let's see what happens!

Update on the experiments!
I had a successful garden harvest at the farm; producing >70 pints of beans (canned), >80 quarts of tomatoes (canned), >10 quarts peppers (grilled and frozen) and a plethora of vegetables lasting from summer into fall. The experimental garden in compostable coffee bags and burlap bags produced far less overall, required more water and monitoring, and had a later start and smaller plant growth, however,  the tomatoes, herbs and small Thai peppers did fine.
I learned how to can, both pressure and waterbath, and canned several times with my grandma. I learned and made several ferments, not really my favorite but I'm still open to trying. I tried new recipes and bought a compact dehydrator. I am excited to add more varietals of veggies next year and see what volunteers come up in the spring!
Some photos of the season.
I love permies and I so enjoy reading all of your stories and sharing of knowledge on this forum.
