  1. Was the net bags not good enough with the regular spin cycle? I want to get a washer but I want to just do net bags first and transition to this… is that good enough to start with fall greens?

  2. hey curtis. I have a (very) small market garden and want to convert a maytag (these vertical axis washers are a bit hard to find ..used here in israel, but finally I've found one..) before I even try to hack the electronics.. question – why cant I just use the spin cycle and drain, and not use the washing cycle at all (and not connect the water line, obviously..) ?Am I missing something?
    I'd appreciate your thoughts on this..
    I've been watching your viedos for quite a while now and mcuh inspired by your work and content!
    thanks. keep up the great work!

  3. This demonstration is innovate, and I'm planning to do this project in a few months, albeit with appropriate wiring practices. Thanks for this. Big help.

  4. Hello Curtis! You are a hugh help to those that want to endeavour into this market garden deal. Thank you is not enough.
    Okay here comes. As a licensed Electrician this is crazy scary! The best advice to offer for this is make sure it's plugged into a GFCI receptacle. No Electrician is going to wire this either. The liability is enormous. Again your the Best. It's understood you are looking for inexpensive solutions.

  5. Great, video Curtis! I just build one of these spinners, and ready to try it out this week. What do you use for sanitizing everything in the greens area? I am familiar with the 20:1 water/bleach from brewing and maple syrup processing. Is their something new or better I can use for trays, equipment and such? My wife says she has heard of folks using vinegar, vodka or simple green for cleaning.
    thanks, Shawn, Field O' Dreams Farm Amherst, NH.

  6. I ordered your book, this is all VERY interesting! Got a 1/4 plus acres available to me and am seriously considering it, just to provide veggies for my extended family

  7. You went to a lot of unnecessary work I used the washing machine on spin cycle with out any modification and the basket is stainless steel and has about twice the volume of the plastic basket, also the stainless steel basket being nearly twice the diameter it will dewater the product a lot quicker, best to stick to the KISS idea.
