  1. QUESTION … just looking at the new William Dam catalog and wondered what kind of peas do you use for sprouting (to cut without peas). i tried to find your video but couldn't..

  2. WOW! That is a lot of compost Curtis! I had no idea you would be using so much, I have been using a fraction of that amount – about 2 yards per bed of the same size. Did you always use so much?
    Thanks again for the awesome content!

  3. Thanks for all the wonderful content as always! Would you be able to make a video about your harvest bin wash station? I know you have one for washing the actual produce, but do you have any efficient methods for washing harvest bins/buckets quickly?

  4. Have you ever worked on terraced beds? Our property has about 4 acres of land that's on a hill. But the property use to be fully functional orchard. But now there is just grass and weeds growing on it. But I know it could be used for so much production. I'm even trying to think of some type of caterpillar tunnels going down the steps to help keep out bugs and weed seeds.

  5. The formula we use is square feet x inches deep x .0031 = cubic yards. (ex: 125 x 2 x .0031) Just a different way to get to the same conclusion. Wish we would convert to the more sensible metric system…

  6. 1481 dollars.
    Convert it to rupees ie 1481*100 (approx dollar rate) = 148,100 of compost for quarter acre. DAMM !!
    In Pakistan we input about 20-30 thousands rupees ie (200-300$) per acre at most. This is ridiculous amount of compost.
    Although compost is easily available here though.

  7. To get the same result with a slightly easier formula to remember multiply length x width in feet x depth (in inches) and divide that by 324. So, in your example that would be 2.5ft (30 inches) x 50ft x 2 inches / 324
