1st lol.
nice haircut
such a badass tool.
the 4th technique had some wax on wax off vibes going on ;]
So now I feel like I need to ask….."How are the other farmers using it?"
Haha Greens harvester taichi or yoga poses
I'm trying to find the video where Curtis talks about the books he recommends. If anyone knows….
OMG man spreading.. I"m so triggered!
I've always thought you need some sort of adjustable skids under the greens harvester so you get even height cut and you can run it along the surface more generally. But I haven't used the device…
Is the harvester custom built?
Do the blades on that move too?
Lose the socks nerd. Thanks for the vid.
Hey man, your channel has been so helpful!
So I bought the greens harvester early this season, and used it for our first several harvests. It works pretty well for the first cutting, but using it seems to give a shitty second or third cutting – the blade nicks and mars some younger leaves, leading them to grow up deformed, or with janky edges. This ends up making my QC process take way longer on subsequent cuttings to try and get rid of the crap leaves. AND, I feel like I lose out on a lot of product – even when I utilize the 4 ways you've shown to use the harvester, it seems like a lot of leaves lay down. Is there any way to avoid having to re-harvest the next day? I've ended up reverting to just hand cutting.
Also, could you go into more detail about your Salanova? You mentioned getting more than one cutting – I thought those babies were once-and-done. Do you use the greens harvester for Salanova too? Have you had any germination issues?
Thanks so much for all your excellent knowledge – you really give us newer farmers a big boost of confidence!
how do you deal with insects
Enjoying the channel. Thanks from a new sub.
How many people do you have working with those?
Love the ingenuity but my back aches just watching you. Need to figure out a more ergonomic design for the harvester– longer handle or on thin, adjustable wheels to roll it. Something!
The greens harvester seems a great piece of kit. I'm Definitely going to get one for our farm, the only negative I can see, is I wish it was a bit wider. I am thinking of trying to fix 2 together in width then mount them on an adjustable height lightweight frame on small bicycle wheels which would straddle the beds in the walkways. A similar if a bit cruder adhoc version of a commercial machine I have seen for harvesting watercress which uses a conveyor belt to load the greens up into a hopper and tote.
The greens harvester was a bit out of my price range so I tried a shop vac and a katana. Can't recommend it. The stitches alone cost me more than the harvester would have.
Curtis, if it ever gets broken this would be a good alternative 😉

I've been watching so many of your videos, and it's nice to have a break from you holding the camera! You're doing awesome and have so much to say that is very interesting, but sometimes can get a bit difficult to watch with all the movement and close perspective. Nice to see you in action! Keep up the great work 😉
Do you find that having the irrigation lines underneath allows you to use it like a guide? or does it cut to low and hinder the plants ability to cut and come again? Do you do different heights for different crops or is it the same for most?
Hey Chris thanks for all the valuable information! Can you let everyone know where you get the attachment for the greens harvester? I can find the harvester but not the parts that attach to the drill.
Thanks for this Curtis, I ordered one this morning . It gets here next week, Cheers
For a custom designed tool that's an ergonomic nightmare.
