Thanks, Idris. They cover a lot in the time allotted.

I like this video particularly because Jean-Martin Fortier's original focus, as he states near the beginning of the video, is the sub-1 acre intensive market garden. I love seeing it scaled up without losing the core principle of keeping the equipment down to the human scale.
