where are you in Canada , north of which state in the us.
I hope you're well soon Curtis, speaking of food poisoning what insurance do you carry for your farm re-food poisoning or some other pathogen that may enter your food chain and be passed on to your customers. I hear from time to time in the news of a restaurant chain or other that has affected people with salmonella or some other pathogen. How are you protected in case this happened to your customer?
Man, that tiller is a beast!
awesome video. how much blood meal and bone meal do u use roughly? would it be a good idea to add worm castings and oyster shell powder. thanks 🙂
Curtis, would you consider coming to South Carolina and doing a talk?
Curtis, you ripped out the top soil…. You need that stuff… I am going to lay down contractor paper and place compost on top of that to start my beds.
could you just till the grass in? that's how me and my dad do it. it works, but are there downfalls to it?
Tobi San!!
I listened to your top 3 cash crop microgreens. One of your picks was peas , when i checked online theres many sorts of pea types . I was wondering which is your preference ? ….. Also could you recommend a quality online company for vegtable seeds pls . Thanks
Good Idea to call ahead when digging for the first time. Depending on where you live , for around 10-20 bucks you can get them to come out and mark all of the lines in the area with paint. Get well soon…Liked!
Great stuff, love your work. Get well soon!
How wide are your rows?
$16,896 in hr! is that monthly?
Hey Curtis, unrelated to this video, but I'm curious how old you are. I'm interested in this career not so much for the money, but because it seems to hit all the check marks for a dramatically life extending career. There's lots of movement daily, you occasionally hit max exertion lifting heavy things/pushing heavy things and you are growing super healthy, vitamin and antioxidant rich food that you can eat at peak freshness and it gets you interacting with people in a positive way in measured doses.
VS my current career that requires me to sit on my ass 12-16 hours a day 5 days a week, it seems like a big win for my health.
anyway, I would guess from the videos that you are early 30's and in very good shape, but from the musician timeline and farming timeline you allude to I suspect you're late 30's, early 40's and in both really good shape and looking youthful.
Is that a camera on a drone at around 1:10?
I have found that cutting the sod and letting it sit for a few months kills the roots underneath and give you time to find someone to come and take it away.
Do you have a lot of good top soil on those residential plots? We are up in the Peace River region of BC on an acreage that had been used as pasture…our topsoil is barely an 1 1/2 deep…I've wondered if I could even garden on a large scale, let alone truly farm the land.
Curtis or anyone? what is the recommended landscape fabric for the 30" beds,woven,non woven, material,and oz weight?
This was terrifying to watch 🙂
Thank you so much for the inspring videos. Your channel is one of my favourites fot garden ideas. Your gardens are much more advanced then mine are ( see video ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af7bxU3uCoA but I really get a lot of inspiriation and ideas from you. Some day we will buy another property if we win the lottery and turn the back yard into a garden just like you have! I am adding this video to my play list on gardening. Thank you again.
Love the title Curtis, For your next project on killing lawn I have a different method.
Cover lawn with a thick layer of cardboard, strip all plastic tapes, bring a load of mixed wood chips and spread over cardboard. Make it to be 10 inches thick layer, water it and then leave it for 2-3 seasons. Grass, cardboard and wood chips will be a part of your new garden soil. Add new layer of decaying chips every 2 years and NEWER TURN SOIL. Leave all earth worms to do their job. Do not use rototiller as this will destroy all soil microbes that are very beneficial. Plant or sow seeds as per usual, use rain water and water only after sun is down. Wish you a plentiful harvest
Good advice! Make sure to call utilities to check before you dig!!
HI! Just a quiestion, would you remove the grass if you where going to build raised beds, or that wont be an issue? Thanks from México

Hey Curtis. I am in the process of breaking ground on a new garden. Roughly 2068 sq ft. garden. Can you tell me how far down in the ground you set the sod cutter for? I set mine at 2 1/2 inches. That may have been too much, but just wondering how far down is good enough? Also, I was wondering if it would be better to after taking the sod out to till then add compost and till again, or just take the sod out, add compost and then till.
could you use a rototiller instead of a rotary plow
I cant fit a sodcutter in my car, so I do have to be patient in cover killing. Right now I am not bringing in enough income to justify renting a van and a sodcutter. What I would like to know is Curtis is, how do you deal with a plot that has soo many rocks in the soil. Just go back to it and keep removing them? I am afraid to rototill this plot because of all these rocks.
Did you get food poisoning from your micro greens
Hi Curtis…when/if you get to upstate NY venues…call/email/text me…I'll offer my services for support/volunteer work. If we don't start growing our small farms/homesteads…..people will likely starve of malnutrition soon…even more so in the U.S.
