Thanks for putting up the review. I had heard Jean-Martin talk about this and then saw the clip of Elliott Coleman demoing it on Johnny's site. Good to know a fellow SPIN farmer digs this harvester 🙂
Thanks for posting this video! It is awesome to see our tool making a difference on farms. You are so right about the skid feet and they are not included in the new harvester design.
How does the spinach look per leaf? All cut up or is each leaf intact? What about regrowth, are the leaf tips cut off?
Great review, How many times can you use this thing before you have to change out the Plant? 1 plant all season and you continue to cut the leaf top layers? (I am new at this and just started researching so I can start growing in my yard)
Did this come from Johnny seeds?
Looks like a good tool, just a thought, for an improvement in the design. If it were on small air filled wheels, that could expand in width to acomodate different widths of rows, also with a height adjuster, then you could just switch it on and push it. I agree with the other comment, it's a good idea, but that isn't worth 500 bucks, it's like a prototype that still needs a bit of improvement. love the videos Curtis. great what your doing, I'm setting my own urban farm up in Scotland. One of my plans, are to have long rows of insulated cold frames but without a glass lid, so basically a box with an angled lid, inside is an insulated floor, sand base with hearing cables through it and trays on top,with led strip grow lights running the length of the lid with automated drip irrigation. I've done a lot of the math and works out really well. For a zero running cost but a higher start up cost I plan to put solar panels on the angled lid a. its a much simpler and cheaper take on the shipping container concept. I can take this system anywhere in the world and grow what I want.
Overtime using it will hurt your back because your having to be bent over. If they could design it so that you can be standing upright, that would then keep your back from hurting in the long run.
Hi Curtis. New subscriber since I saw you with John on GYG.com Just wondering, why should you never use scissors?
hey Curtis, i looked through the Playlist but couldn't find any videos of yours about an overview of seeds (quantity, spacing high density, your favorites, cost). Do you have any videos on them? thanks for the videos and knowledge
$500….better come with the drill…..jeez
I dont know if you still use the quick greens harvester, but if you do you could fashion some wheels for it to roll on , and just push it down the rows instead of holding it up.
Curtis, Do you still recommend the harvester. Johnny's stopped selling it because I guess the bands keep breaking?? Wondering if you still use it, if you've had the problems that others have talked about with it. i.e.: Is it reliable, or are you changing bands out all the time? And do you know who is still selling it?
Thanks, Rex
This is amazing. I'm trying to find these drill powered tools here in Belgium, but it can't find them anywhere. I'll probably have to order them in the US or Canada and buy a ton of import taxes.
I've started recommending this video to farmers I work with, this is a great demo. Nice job Curtis!
so this review was in 2014, could you give an update after 2 years of use ? parts breaking ? maintenance? are you still using it ? etc. Thanks.
I can feel your elation sinking in at about minute 2. Nice!!!
great tool who would have thought… does it rip leaves though?
Good deal
Put some wheels on it
Looking back on this video now I wonder if this was a true product review and he had no idea that this would become one of the major implements on his farm and one of the major tools he would go on to recommend or if he already knew that he found a game-changer and did want to do a product review to get it out there.
