Hi Curtis, I watched all your video in few days, from the oldest to the latest. It's incredible the amount of time you put on these videos and all the information you provide for us. Magnificent information and encouraging work. Well done
Lay the flats down between the beds as paths as opposed to bringing in wood chip just an idea – no I am not doing it myself I don't do micro-greens. I do the wood chip thing though, it's free in my area and is turning the clay into beautiful crumbly soil.
I see Jodie got too close to the greens harvester!
I came up with an ingenious tactic to kill all of these bugs I've been dealing with last night when I entered the portal…I haven't heard anyone else suggest this so I might make a video on it… but I've had issues with root magoot, centipedes, cabbage worms, and ants, mostly eating my roots. I've observed the issue getting worse as the woodchips in my aisles broke down over the season and now that I'm getting ready for fall it's time to do something about it. they stay in the top 3 inches so what I'm going to do is grind up some new leaf mulch and get some new chips and before I apply them im going to coat the leaves and the chips in diatomaceous earth (the food grade omri shit ofc) and this should take care of all the problems. The DE is basically death in a bag, the surface area is so high and sharp any insect that walks across and comes in contact gets infinitely cut and dies, if you look at it under a microscope it looks like black abysmal hell. might be useful, cheap too.
awesome channel .
Thanks for another great video. Sweet tunes and drone footage!
great vid… how does a novice go about identifying sales channels where one can sell each harvest?
Hi Curtis just got your book and getting into your concepts. In the uk we have Landshare for landowners to register their land for use. I'm sure I'll read your ideas, but what is the best way to get a plot of land. I already rent out an allotment from the council but can't sell from that, so I need a separate venture for the business side. Any ideas?
By the way when are you coming to the uk?
Do you have a video on pesticides(fungus and bugs) and how you keep your plants healthy?
Where do you get you sunflower seed from?
Should I just buy all my seeds, or dedicate an area to growing the seeds?
For grocery stores do you approach the big names or the mom and pop stores?
How close were you planting those basil plants apart?
Do you have sections to allow your plants to go to seed or do you purchase seed? Which makes more sense in your opinion thank you
Have you ever tried inter-planting basil in your greenhouse in-between your tomatoes? Tomatoes love basil and assuming that planting/harvesting wouldn't be too labor intensive, that would give you high-dollar basil in winter, wouldn't it?
what production level do you need to achieve before Grocery chains will want to buy your produce?
Curtis,
How do you package your micro greens to sell?
wipe your nose and then touch all the crops ew
curtis,
how do you grow carrot with yield ? what variety and what to put in ground and how deep to prepare the bed so the carrot won't twice like ginseng ? basically, do you have a crop focus: carrot video ? is turnip cultivated same as carrot ? i am in Germany.. where sometime rains for couple of days in summer and even 13 deg C in summer night, 17 c in summer day time after several days of raining is possible. just happened.
thanks
andrew
Maann most of these greens are great, but over here in Romania they are like soo, sooo cheap. I was lookin to see what basil means and I was what??? This is so cheap and so everywhere. 42% of Romania population lives in the country side and that means they have pretty much everything you are selling may be not as much as you, but enough for them and their sons/daughters families from the city. Of course there are big cities, but still, specially in the season every green plant, is really, really cheap.
Do you not have to add anything back into the soil after harvest?
How/ where do you sell your greens in the winter?
When I watch you harvest your beds I think that eventually your back is going to hurt from that. Consider growing on tables. I think you could make planters from gutters and cover a whole table. You can get plastic top tables 30" by 70" for $50 or so.
Hi Curtis, quick question: do you have any trouble with the drip lines delivering hot water to your young plants? Black pipes in the sun must get hot a?
who is the guy photo bombing your video! HA HA too funny.
Your intro beat? Is that the universal drum beat this guy is talking about in this video? They found the same frequency produced by trees when a long audio recording in the forest (say two weeks) was sped up. My mind is absolutely blown, and I've got nothing to do with this video or the guy who produced it. https://youtu.be/6mx4jWjI1jA
You're planting these crops inches away from the road? With car exhaust and leaking oil and gas going into the soil? I wouldn't find this plot ideal…
How much is your seed expense for micro greens on average AND are you able to get the seed year round? (Does your preferred seed company have a stockpile to supply greenhouse growers in winter?)
