I want to be honest with you: I need a break. And why the phone got in the way

For over ten years, a new video has appeared on this channel every Sunday. During this time, I've completed countless projects, gained experience, and watched my garden grow together with you. Now the moment has come when I realize: I need a break. But before that happens, there's still plenty to experience: We're working on a sickle bar mower for which spare parts are no longer available. The guys at Black Fox quickly developed a significantly more robust solution made of aluminum and even manufactured new special screws. A repair that shows you don't have to throw away tools when a manufacturer no longer supplies spare parts. Afterward, we test the repaired sickle bar mower on a biodiverse wildflower meadow, take a look in Martin's garden, and talk about natural mowing, wildflowers, and the proper care of meadows. Then, a long-cherished wish awaits: a hot air balloon ride. From a bird's-eye view, we discover our homeland in a completely different way – from the Lech River to Lake Ammersee and on to the Alps. Finally, I'll take you on another tour through the Rigotti garden. Many crops are almost ready for harvest, others are thriving, and I'll show you what will be growing in the coming weeks while I take my first summer break in over ten years. I wish you a wonderful summer and thank you for your support. See you again in mid-September. Many crops are ready for harvest, others are thriving, and I'll show you what will be growing in the coming weeks while I take my first summer break in over ten years. ...
