thanks, Curtis. i cant tell you how many times ive watched this video series. last year was my first year, well really a half year. and ive been completely sold out sense mid December. and this video has kept my spirits up through the winter. keep it up you keep so many of us going! sending some love from kentucky!
Being in BC, did you consider along the way legally growing cannabis? The guys doing it in BC online make it seem highly profitable. Or maybe just didn't want to be around drugs anymore? You have to be a millionaire to legally grow it here in Maryland.
Man since i was thirteen ive wanted an earthship
Curtis, you have motivated me and my neighbor to start our own urban farm! They are building more and more houses all around us, and our "local food" comes all the way from MA or MN and we're in Virginia. Ridiculous. I started gardening because I wanted to make sure my kids eat HEALTHY food, not greens that are already a week old by the time they get to our stores. You're been a real inspiration and motivator in making me want to farm on a bigger scale!! Thank you for all the work you put into your very helpful videos to allow the rest of us to follow along and share your dream!
The musician thing really hits home for me. I too am a musician, and I am watching your videos for the exact same reasons you explained. This summer will be my first year starting out on my own recently purchased property. Thank you for your videos, they are great!
Where did you go to uni and what did you study?
I also use protools. And garden.

Not seeing part 2…?
6:46 except for…
4:38 was that lapsus?
Cubase is better than Protools.
Thanks for sharing your story.
I really like the idea of urban farming, thanks for all your videos and sharing your story! I have room for 30x 50' beds and would like to start prepping the ground over the fall/winter to start up growing in the spring. I went to the POA (property owners association) meeting and it was brought up that you can not run a business on your property, strictly residential use only. Have you ran into this issue doing urban farming out of neighborhoods, and do you have any recommendations to get around it?
Thank you Curtis
I'm still a musician, play in a orchestra however; but now my passion is in farming. Planting in my backyard, but trying to save money to buy a land ( it's so damn expensive for a clarinetist in brazil).
In 2007 I graduated with a degree in Music Composition, then went on to get my Master's degree in it which was such a miserable experience I felt burnt for a long time. Crazy to have watched so many of your videos and hear a similar story to mine, thank you.
Hey Curtis. I have recently started a microgreens farm. Also just germinated 120 different plants and veggies for my outside garden. I will b licensed by the department of agriculture. You have been my inspiration to keep pushing. I watched your videos took notes and applied the knowledge. Ha ha I made mistakes but I see your drive and refuse to quit. I’m upset about your year off but I hope you have an amazing year. THANK YOU CURTIS
Cool story man! We have a lot in common it's funny how life goes in different directions. I was in a band and I seriously considered tree planting and bike wwoofing lol. We went in very different directions but we ended up in almost the same place.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this, as a musician that is looking to a new farm/homestead life, this is a huge inspiration. If you're ever on the big island, Hawaii I'll be starting my homestead there this Sept. Much gratitude
I love your videos so inspiring, new sub.here love from Philippines God bless u…
Great story! Just curious, on the first property you said you built a green house etc, what was your initial capital investment?
I buy a little greenhouse for me and my husband in my backyard in a urban city laval in quebec its my first winter crops and We love it it’s good for the moral next sprint we will built a other greenhouse plus coldframe to be indépendant food during the next winter.
Haha we are very similar.. from music to tendinites, to crosscountry and so on hahah funny
And now here I am obsessed with sustainability and you're the top youtuber I probably watch! How bout that
I live in Cape Town South Africa. Water resources are a concern in a lot of the country.
I have watched a few of these interesting videos and yet to see anyone discuss Water but this obviously doesn't mean that it hasn't. Nothing can be grown unless it is available. Can anyone let me know what these market garden farmers do about water.
I haven't heard any mention access to boreholes and I would imagine municipal/household water in North America also would be an expensive way to irrigate.
I have a very familiar outlook and experience.
Bass players do it better!
I am a musician too. This is a great story.
