Thanks so much for all this info! What type of tarp do you use to to cover your rows prior to planting? I am assuming it is not the typical landscape fabric that you can buy at the hardware stores.
I heard on podcast (Permaculture voices) you were using the Tilther on established beds more these days – is the Tilther powerful enough to be used for cleaning beds with Mizuna / greens residue rather than just used for seedbed prep? Or do you still use the rototiller for cleaning existing beds? Understand that the filter isn't for fresh or new ground
I love a closer look at the small sub soiler thingy. I can't remember what video you showed it in.
Is a "no-till" approach not possible in your model?
what Zone are you in?
Great, thanks a lot!
Great videos, and book. Do you use the six or 4 row seeders ? I am considering it as part of a move to 30" beds as used by yourself and JM, however on the Johnnys site there seem to be quite few posts saying that the 6 row seeder is difficult to use at best, and many would not recommend ! I wasn't sure if these was therefore a good seeder to base plans for salads which is my main business. Currently I do it all by hand and whilst a bit less efficient I can see and control what I am doing. Thankyou again
Hey Curtis, just picked up myself a Earthway seeder and I've got a quick question for you if you don't mind. I'm wondering if you just settled with the in row seed spacing that the plates gave you or did you modify any to increase density? Or maybe went over the same row more than once? Some of the spacing for the plates seems too far apart for intensive spacing. Thanks so much for all your videos, they are much appreciated!!

How much time do you put in? I have to work 40 hours a week to keep a pathetic cash flow, and it is only me, and I am 61 years old.
Do you have help? You keep saying "we."
I also have no capital. Just my land. I have a certifiable organic space with amazing soil that could produce kicking herbs and veggies. This soil is pristine and deeply rich, but only about 100 sq.ft. I could also place chickens and goats on my land, I have about 3/4 acre, but that would require capital for fencing and containment to protect from preditors… I am in Zone 7a and 7b. Do you ever let your land rest? Sounds like you do not. So you said you are always amending. How do you figure in those costs?
Marketing: I am not in an high-density urban space. There is a close-in 3-city potential with some high-end restaurants in a 50-mile diameter, more potential with a 100 mile diameter, some of which feature farm-to-table. There is also the potential for private chefs.
Storage: Chefs like fresh. That is my biggest concern.
I can produce my own graphics, I am an experienced commercial artist. I am thinking about my advertising and promotion. Probably need to learn something about social media.
How do you set up your harvesting? Do you have employees?
Any advice?
Where did you find the used cooler and where do you keep it?
Curtis
Are you able to get parts for that BCS Tiller? I found one, does not run, for $50. What do you suggest? To fill you in, it is at a recycling center I know the people there very well and the owner says I can have it for $50. I guess scrapping pays off?

Can you do a video on your burner? Looks homemade and looks awesome!

My husband and I are wanting to start farming. The only know how we have is on how to care for hourses and roses. So as you can see, we are city people wanting to quit city life to farm. We are not sure what to do, where to go, permits, seeds, land…etc. We really are just starting and afraid but brave enough to try this. We know we want to make cheese and olive trees, but you were saying get the crops that are most needed. We want to do this to build a new way of lives for ourself and our community. We need money as a tool but getting wealthy does not seem to be a huge goal. We dont even have anything or know how. We are living on food stamps and my husbands employment income. As you can see, we need to start somewhere. What is your advice?
Awesome video Curtis. Thanks very much for sharing.
Such great info, thanks a million Curtis.
Cheers Curtis! Awesome video mate!
Where's your Single Row Garlic/Onion Seeder?
😉 See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT3e2o53KbQ
I'm just now getting to your older videos and I have to say the energy you have for it is inspiring and reminds me of the energy I have for it. It's remarkable to finally find that thing I'm energetic about but more importantly your videos and book have given me direction to channel that energy where as before I was like a squirrel chasing shinny plants.
May I ask why a bcs tractor? Would any walk behind tractor with a till attachment work?
Thank you Curtis.
Hi Curtis. Do you think a 5-7 horsepower BCS will work?
This was the first video of yours I ever watched. We are about to start our farm using your book and advice. Thanks for the inspiration Curtis!
Nice to see such an old video of yours 🙂
is there a reason the wheel assemblies are mounted on the wrong sides?
Hi…I would like to more on farming tools and usages
Starting from the beginning on your videos. Been thru a bunch randomly but great to see you from the beginning! I'm in Colorado and hope to make this a real business in time.
