How is the lumber attached to tunnel supports? I've been planning to do this same thing, and would like to know how that part was done.
Hi Curtis, Glad to see this video as I want to try that method in my poly this year. Thanks !
On top of it, nice.
have you thought about sprinkling mycorrihizal fungi as well into the transplant holes along with your organic 4-4-4 and compost?
A couple of questions for ya! I am curious what month you started your tomato plants and if you used a UV light. If added light was used what apparatus do you use and what strength UV light bulb? Also, any advice for someone trying to start in Vancouver? Your videos are infinitely helpful!
Why are you growing hot house tomatoes? Is there actually a market for them? I grow hundreds of tomato plants and get top dollar for the tomatoes, but wouldn't get next to nothing for hothouse tomatoes. Nobody will buy them…..pretty tasteless and always hard…..they don't come close to a field grown tomato….
If I forgot to add the fertilizer in the hole before planting, I can simply sprinkle some around the tomatoes and water in, correct?
General tomato spacing ? Or do you bring them closer together since they're growing straight up ?
ever thought about increasing production with a companion planting of carrots…. theres a whole book called Carrots Love Tomatos, all about companion planting. Tomatos and carrots do really well with each other, an exudate of the carrots benefits the tomatos….. kinda sad you didnt mention this.
this is very helpful for me, not for a profit, but when I retire (in 4 yrs), I want to manage my garden and hoop house(s?) properly, your videos have taught me ALOT!
Love this approach! It's like hybrid succession planting. Could you do a video on starting your tomato seedlings or your nursery in general? My tomato plants started indoors this year have developed dark purple, and some yellow leaves. I'm curious if this has ever been an issue of yours, if so, what you did, and also what is the root cause?
We have tried this and it is a challenge to grow heat loving plants in the same space as cold loving. My toms are basically not growing because I'm trying to keep the house cool for all the lettuce in there. So I bought another house just for tomatoes.
My wife and I really enjoyed your presentation Sunday at the Mother Earth News Fair in Asheville NC this past weekend. We always get so much out of all your videos…and we are constantly referring back to your book. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience.
Please buy the man a post hole digger so he can stop digging holes like that. He'll need a spine replacement if he keeps digging bent over like that… Something like this http://www.hooverfence.com/tools/post-hole-digger.htm
why 444? because they are young transplants? Will you bump it up later?
Would it be crazy to have half as many plants and just plop them right into the middle of existing rows? Then they would shade the cool crops in summer?
Hi Curtis!
Why to stirrup the spinach rather than harvest it?
Thank you!
Hi Curtis, when planting tomato seeds, do you just put the seed directly into the seed starter without trying to germinate the seeds first? Sorry about the stupid question. I know we have to soak Thai eggplant seeds in water etc..getting the seeds to germinate before transferring them in seed starter. Thanks!
Do you normally feed your tomato seedlings with 4-4-4? I just found some 4-4-4 plant fertilizer spikes that I bought last year, that I can't remember what exactly what I originally got them for. In your opinion, do you think they would be a good addition to the pots I transplant the seedlings to (as their transition pots) before putting them out in the garden?
I did the second stage of transplanting for tomatoes.. majority of my sun burst died shortly after.. this is my first year. We make our own transplant/soil/germination mix at home.. the bucket of my dirt.. I forgot to replenish the perlite.. I think that's why they died. Super bummed 🙁 lesson learned
