  1. Jean-martin…can any of these process be used by the home gardener? I already grow verticly on cattle panels. I could use a sprinkler several times a week for short periods of time?

  2. This is off topic of this video but in one of your recent videos you said if anyone had ideas for any future videos to post them in the comments. Well I have always been curious about how your first farm vehicle (Daihatsu Hi-Jet) impacted the way you farm? I live in central California and my town is spread out. Homes close to downtown are more individual in design which make for irregular yard sizes and the streets are rowed with massive old growth trees that shade out a lot of yards. So I am finding that plots maybe a little further away from downtown are more suitable for growing but they would be to far to bicycle? So maybe a video about if and when you should invest into a farm vehicle? Would it be better to save money and buy used or if you have the funds buy new? What has your experience with farm vehicles been like cost, maintenance, gas and etc? Thank you @Urban Farmer Curtis Stone

  3. Curtis, what does jm do to Control downy mildew? I've been growing a few beds of open field cukes in past 2 years, but keep getting this fungus (?) after a couple of weeks of production.. Do you know what conditions favor DM, and if possible to eliminate in open field?

  4. Great series about JMF's farm!
    It's probably too late now, but I'd really love to hear what he has to say about the wheel hoes he's using. I can see he is using Terrateck and I was wondering if he is happy about them. Is it worth the investment and what implements does he like on them?
    Anyway, love the show as always. Keep it up! Greetings from Belgium.

  5. JM is the man.  I didn't hear an F bomb. Maybe it was edited out. I seem to get more spider mites in my garden in areas that don't have the best air circulation.

  6. It's really close to standard Dutch Greenhouse technics. Next step may even be adding CO2 to the tubes to increase plant growth, after that maybe even growing plants on rockwool type 'soil'. I'm really curious what both Jean-Martin and yourself think of using these techniques and why you are moving in this direction. It is just the super production or is there still a substantial (Green/Perman/give it a name) element in growing the plants like this? Or is it just to experiment and see what happens?

  7. Anyone who raises cucumbers will tell you that they will continue growing and producing cucumbers as long as you remove the mature cuckes closest to the plant source. You then keep removing the most mature cuckes and the plant will just keep producing more branches that will continually grow. It is also fact that if you leave a mature cuke on the vine, the other ones growing on the ends will stop growing. If you could keep the temps up and the light constant you could keep one cuke plant indefinitely.
