Mineral increase in leaf contains will increase yields right.
Great videos man. Keep them coming.
These videos are some of the best I've seen for a beginning urban farmer. Very informational! But I do have a question about the High Rotation beds, how is the quality/taste of the veggies? I know when you have multiple harvests of greens, the taste goes downhill. And do you remineralize the soil or just add the turkey fert?
Fantastic!
Hi, dirtpatcheaven sent me here. She was right, what you are doing is amazing!
When you put a container on a scale to get its weight, and set the scale to the negative weight of the container…that is called a TARE. Which is a law whenever you are selling a product that goes into a container, paper bag, etc…you must deduct the weight (TARE) of the container first. People would be shocked if they realized how much money they are spending on a product that didn't have the tare deducted from it….depending on what is in the container, people can spending $2.00 + additional cost to the actual cost of the product…..people make sure whenever you buy anything in a container that is going to get weighed, the TARE is deducted from the weight!
How wide are your beds?
Hey Curtis.
How long does it take for arugula (and similarly greens) to grow large enough to cut again, and is there much of a difference between spring/fall and summer?
Hi. You mentioned you use the jang seeder for 9 rows. What is your opinion of that 6-row seeder out there from Johnny's and have you had experience using it. Thanks
Like your harvester. Where can I obtain one unit? Excellent video.
I purchased Arugulla/Rouquette at my local Publics Grocery Store @ $5.50 per pack. One weighs 4.oz. or quarter pound x 4 = $22.00 per pound. This is retail price. Therefore, the whole price from gardeners @ $10.00 per pound is reasonable.
What is the seeding density for baby arugula and what is the most efficient way to accurately/consistently plant at that rate? Also, are you growing a "wild" type or regular, I know those seeds are much different sizes from each other. Would really appreciate the info. Thanks!
do you lay plastic down on your rows and cut Xs and plant the lettuce or do you use fabric mulch? Can black plastic be used ? Thank you
nice pixels for 2016!
this is great. do you have a video of you planting these beds or how you prepare the beds soil? i have beds of similar look and am looking for help. keep up the awesome videos.
I see the white cloth along the fence. What's that for? reducing wind? cut down weeds?
You said $10 per pound, is that Canadian or US currency?
Hi Curtis, Repeating what you said in different words, one 50 foot bed with nine rows yielding $.66 per lineal foot, will total $1,600 of sales over the course of your growing year. Is this done in three succession plantings? A Summer crop will yield 2 harvests at 35 lbs each or 70 lbs. total, therefore. the shoulder seasons will yield (1600-700)/2= 450 lbs in Spring and the same in the Fall? Slower growing plants in cooler part of year.
What variety of arugula do you grow? It must be a wild variety at $10/lb
Curtis your readers think they are living next door in Canada . They compare to Costco which prices are between wholesale and retail. Why don't they get it?
Hey Curtis. Great work. Great Videos. I've been reading around in the comments from several vids and also in the videos themselves, but there seems to be some confusion as to how wide your beds are. Some say 1 foot, others 2, and i think i saw 3. Could you clarify that for me? thanks.
Big Question, how is better sow arugula? from seeds trays or direct to soil?
I like your videos very much because you give us the straight talk on the yields we should expect.
With it's very short growing period, arugula is a great choice to grow in your garden/backyard.
Double stack your totes. When you fill the top one set it in the aisle. Then carry the two out when both are full.
Which type of arugula grows in your beds?
how many rows are you planting in an arugula bed? 9 rows in a 30in bed? if I did 15 rows in a 36in bed what are some thoughts?
Would the spinach or radish plate on the earthway be sufficient to get the same 9 row density?
Do you have a list somewhere of the sprockets you use for each crop so I could have a better idea of your spacing for direct seeded crops?
You’re awfully cute
Please tell what's the distance between aragula in row and between rows. Thanks in advance!
