Sorry but the baby stole the show imho. 🙂
Shaded areas for summer lettuce has made me quite a crop this year, thanks mostly to the early afternoon overhead cool down method you posted, shear genius. Thankyou you saved my glutes.
If you happen to see this, I love the idea of the audiobook! Is there anyway to get a "bundle" of audio, paperback, extras? I'm holding off on buying just in case?
12:55 lol
NOT TO BE MEAN ,JUST CONCERNED.. so you grow carrots BETWEEN 2 streets?? all the car/truck exhaust does have toxic metals filling the streets and sidewalks..There is a vid where 2 guys sweep a roadway and GOT platinum .your carrots will be toxic??People are always warning people not to pick berries from road ways because of toxic exaust
Thanks for sharing the carrot germination tips! As the climate warms and weather gets more chaotic, intensive methods are probably going to be required.
My daughter is about the same age. Definitely enjoyed Violet's cameo.
If anyone is interested in details on our climate emergency, check out Paul Beckwith's YT channel. PotHoler54 and Understanding Climate Change are excellent channels as well. Local intensive food production is going to be essential.
Thanks for the Q & A at the end too!
what do you use for planting
You should just get some rolled sheet metal flashing and install above your gutter to give you the slack needed to attach the bottom edge of the poly.
Dont carrots bend/divide/stunt when you add compost?
The kid looked like it thought ye had lobsters coming out of your ears. ….no disrespect, just messing with ye. but, yeah. ahahhahaaa. nahh, but really, ahhah. those are baaabies(spelling intentional) for ye.
Hey Curtis, how is the wall hidro system gpoing?… it looks dead in the video.
Not sure of the best place to ask something for Q&A. If Curtis Stone ever retires, what crops would he grow for home production instead of farming? I love your bio-intensive methods and I've heard some good interviews with you and Jack Spirko.
Hey Curtis, love your content, the way you explain stuff, and the things you focus on. I have a question for you, although I think I already know the answer. Do you have any kind of quality assurance/traceability program for your veggies, i.e. lot numbers, best before dates, etc.? What would be the reasons for you having/not having such systems? Thanks and have a great summer season!
My biggest value crop is August planted carrots in 1 inch top dressed with germinating mix, $800-$1000 per 50ft bed, 30 inch wide, harvested in late November. Over 90% germination, row covers and overhead timed watering.
Compost for carrot beds works extremely well! We had huge carrot germination issues in previous years due to crusting on our heavy clay soil – but a thin layer of compost simply raked in has made a massive difference, in comination with overhead irrigation. We found drip didn't work well even with row cover on top to provide even moisture. We've also had sucess with sprinkling peat over the seeds instead. Anything to prevent crusting!
Where do you buy your sunseeds?
Nowhere Farms is coming to Queen Creek. Can not wait to see you.
Never had much luck with carrots. Did you lay the shade cloth directly on the bed, or support it on hoops?
Try hand watering in the afternoon too.
Hi Curtis. I notice that you use the impact head sprinkler irrigation. Have you tried the wobblers? Definitely suggest you check it out for more even water spread and water saving.
I just asked the question about the greens harvester on another video. Perhaps a fork similar to what you see on a corn combine; rounded fingers that would draw the plant up and together?
What a well behaved little one! <3
The gear list is GREAT! Thank you! It will save me so much time and money hunting for the right product and ending up with the wrong one anyway! The "shade cloth" that you and Jodi are using directly on the ground is green and looks heavier than what you are using to shade Salanova. I've looked online (Johnny's, google) and can't find anything that looks like it. I'm hoping maybe it will make it onto the gear list?
Your carrots are growing at the street and you eat the shit from dogs and cars.
Curtis, with your compost technic do you still flame weed before carrots germination?
She finds you as interesting as we do! Very cute!
Thanks Curtis for this very informative video !
This is how I plant everything. Bed prep with broad fork and tilther, spread seed (hand scatter method) then we press the seed in and light water, then cover with compost with a drop spreader and press it again lightly and water again. Water every evening.
Curtis we have the same problem can I ask did you use black shade cloth or white? Many thanks
Your baby will start talking earlier than other kids! Look how she is listening to you!!
