Does your chart show how many beds you will need for each crop?
Curtis, you are awesome. Not just for providing this information, but doing so clearly. You're an excellent speaker and teacher. Thank you.
Is there a simple way to convert a number into amount of weeks and days with Apache open office?
My husband and I are planning to start a market garden. We are in the research phase at this point. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you for putting out such great information. I am wondering how a new farmer can determine the unit weights for each vegetable like you have in your chart? Additionally, how can a new farmer determine the yield in pounds or number of products per row? Is there a resource for that? Just trying to figure out how to get started on as sure a footing as possible.
Hey Curtis! For DTM, what's the impact if you're doing starts and transplanting? Would that be a situation where one should lessen the expected DTM?
I am actually working on a React-Rails application that is based on your crop production spreadsheet above. I just started working on it today. You can view the source code here: https://github.com/ldco2016/CropProgress
Amazing thanks
Is the end date the date that these crops are ready for harvest?
Another great video bud, what spreadsheet software do you use? is that Microsoft office/google docs or something altogether different?
cheers in advance
Just talked to West Coast Seeds, great people! Starting my first urban farm this year. I already have your book! Thanks for creating a great channel!

What program are you using here? I've never subtracted dates like that before and not sure how to do it on excel. This is beautiful, thanks for everything! I'm currently reading your book, highlighting and making notes, and watching all your videos obsessively..! I'm going to be implementing your techniques when I move to Sicily Italy this year. I have a lot to learn about the weather and crops there, but I'm really excited about the potential!!
Which formula will get the cells that are my DTM cells to read days and weeks? Like 5w 5d for example so that I can do the auto calculate start date?
Curtis you give me life, and… =A1+7 and copy/past or drag that to bottom of column A in excel after first date to do the weeks automatically.
8:35 did you just say its a "crop shoot" lol 😀
Curtis,
Thank you for the content you produce! You a great source of information and a great encouragement to me as I start my own farming operation. I appreciate your input and guidance.
Would you say this is how other farmers who farm say 100 acres use a spreadsheet to keep track of their crops? How did you come to the conclusion that a spreadsheet was the best tool to manage your farm? Also have you found any digital tools out there you can' live without?
Curtis this is one of the most valuable information you gave to us farmers in their early stage of learning 'how to'. Thank you so much for doing what you are doing!
CSA….I missed where you defined that TLA (Three Letter Acronym)
I sort of knew that it was complicated, but you explain it really clearly, thanks!
this is awesome. whilst i might not want to get into farming as a job I do want to grow all my own food due to allergies and diet requirements. finding something like this is really helpful! thank you for being amazing, long may you continue doing these vids.
This calendar is amazing, the curve you are discribing is about the hot hours and the light hours the crop is accumulated, is complex to calculate but give you much precise information. But your calendar is amazing, thanks by share with us
I had an economics professor that said that about giving a boy a fish, etc. I asked him if that was the same as if you see a man freezing do you light him a fire to keep him warm for the night or do you set him on fire so he stays warm the rest of his life?
This is freaking awesome! I have been asking for something like this on many sites and you have it!!
oh wow, I thought it was the temperature that was the limiting factor on how long it took to grow….but sunlight makes much more sense as that is what all the flora follows as that is consistent where weather isn't.
thanks for this video. this is exactly what you said it was. teaching us how to fish. im still reverting back to this video all the time. it is full of valuable info. thanks.
Great info and video thanks so much!
You can teach a man to fish, but you cannot teach a fish to man.
Could anyone help me out and explain what CSA is?
This works for planning food for home use. Thank you!
