  1. Curtis, I just can't figure this out. I've listed to you Diego talk about. I've watched your videos on this and Jang seeder. I've watched you transplant, hand cut the heads versus cutting other crops with the Greens Harvester. With the amount of time it takes: to seed the trays; prepare the holes in the plastic; lay down the plastic in the beds; plant the transplants, WHY in the world do you do the Salanova varieties instead of a simple greens lettuce mix you could plant into the beds with the Jang seeder and harvest with the Greens Harvester. The amount of time saved I would think would make up any loss in harvesting amounts. If you've explained it already before, PLEASE shoot me the link to it. This thing has been rattling around in my head for over a year and I just can't figure it out. I know you are using the paper pot transplanter now and that would speed up the transplanting aspect, but now you lose the weed suppression advantage you have with the plastic covers. I just can't figure it out.

  2. been watching so many videos my head hurts, so lettice is not a microgreen, and the 4-4-4 fertilizer is not used in microgreen mix or do you use any fertilizer on the microgreens. so what all do you use the 4-4-4 fertilizer for and do you ever use any other fertilizer?

  3. Hi Curtis. Thank you so much for these videos. I have been studying your books in preparation for the upcoming season. Do you still grow the other lettuce types that you recommend in your book, or do you exclusively grow salanova for the lettuce?

  4. Could you build a make-shift seeder by using another flat, drilling some holes in the bottom of each mini square section, place over the top of the soiled flat then add a seed to each mini-square section. When you remove the 'seeding flat' there will be a seed in each section perfectly in the middle?

  5. Thanks very much for taking the time to make a meaningful video. Since you do a lot of planting, there's a few shortcuts that might make your work easier. Cutting the bottoms out of one tray and using it as a guide would make seeding faster. Using a regular tray to press the seeds down would also be faster. Dusting over the seeds with potting soil and then pressing it again with a regular tray…bang, you're done and ready for the next tray.
