  1. 4:12 Like that title…. Farming Space Ship
    Are you located in Ontario Canada ?
    New sub here,
    gonna view your previous videos and catch up
    I am in Ontario canada , Muskoka area. looking forward to learning from your videos. have a good day. cheers

  2. Hello Curtis. Very inspiring videos. My wife and I are so wanting to get into this type of market, both for healthy eating and eventually working for ourselves in our own business hoping to supply restaurants with healthy foods. Just a lot of anxiety or even fear of how to get stared and will it work in our area. Thanks for all your videos and tips on growing foods.

  3. On the topic of timing and streamlining EVERYTHING… Have you tried using a bowl on the scale when you pack and weigh greens? I noticed Toby was spending lots of time balancing the bags on the scale in his goodbye video. I use a bowl and don't have to do as much of that. (The bag just sits in the bowl, although I might also try measuring into a bowl and then using a funnel/jig to fill the bags to see what's most efficient as I scale up). Your videos have really inspired me to take time to create good work spaces. It makes a huge difference in morale and productivity! I'm re-thinking my kitchen, laundry room, chicken processing area… everything.

  4. I noticed all of the plastic covers for the greenhousees are opaque. I tested opaque plastic on my windows and it kept the sun from warming the window, even when I put black curtains. I have found, however, when I have clear plastic, light streams in and heats the interior beautifully, when I have a black curtain with gaps, it gets hot and the warm air enters my rv. It gets even too hot. Perhaps you might want to experiment with clear plastic instead of opaque for your greenhouse for winter gardens.

  5. Hi guys great work! your produce looks incredible. I was wondering if you ever fine spray any organic tea or not ? I just ask as I spotted the huge tea bubbler @green city gardens. All the best guys thanks for all the insights.

  6. So many IRIE Folks on your channel Curtis, Saba's AWESOME, thanks for providing the link to his website, I will check it out sooner than later. Thumbs up guys! 🙂

  7. سلام آقای صبا خوشحالمون کردی که دیدیم توی خارج هم هموطن هامون فعالن . خوشحال میشیم تجربیاتتون رو با هموطن هاتون به اشتراک بزارین اگه به زبان مادریتون باشه قطعا تعداد بیشتری از ما میتونیم استفاده کنیم. ممنون میشم

  8. It looks like you used some tubing to strengthen the greenhouse "columns". Did I miss a video about that? I saw the video where you questioned whether the original columns would be strong enough to support the pots, soil, water, and plants.

  9. Great work gentleman! Aloha Saba! will look for your content.hoop house seems the easiest way to control the environment all aspects, as a former medical cannabis grower its awesome to see the more semi automated work flow devices like the planter, and harvester, game changers for those upscaling! Question time, we are here in West Michigan on a municipal water source derived from lake Michigan. The water from the spigot, tap has been as high as 9.2 pH and the rainwater is testing at 8.5pH with freshly calibrated Electronic tester. Everything is alkaline now including soil, sand… Even with high organic content, my soil assay came back at 7.5 pH , 7.5% organic matter low on nitrogen everything else even micronutrients came back high!we have to remedy with something other than peat because it causes wild swings in the growing medium having too much peat and alkaline water.nitric acid? Would fix most of those issues however its used for making nitro so I need an organic solution, we turned sand into soil over the last 9 years and need to fix this organically somehow…. That high pH of the rainwater is very puzzling…….. Who do you recommend for good honest water testing? If it is an atmospheric cause then we will have to relocate where the well water is good and we can put in permanent greenhouses.I need to attend a workshop before we upscale, all our extras that we grow and dont eat go to local food banks, we have not monetized yet. Our future is open and will gladly ride on your coattails! Everything I know I have learned through observation of others and the planet, some by book, some oral, some internet, and lots by trial and error… Lots of error! We are here to learn, thanks for teaching freely here! Look forward to workshop, aloha TD
