Not counting taxation…which is theft
this format kind of reminded me of some of the Bright Agrotech videos.
HELLO IM BRAZIL
Very interesting, I suppose you need to know how much you need to order. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I know you gear to the commercial farmer, but you have been so helpful for me on the homestead scale too. Thank you for all you do!
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..
To my calculations the 2" deep is the most important number there. That is, the amount that's needed to get the job done.
Thank you.
Omg…metric system cmooon
Omg…metric system cmooon
haha ohw man dont you wish you had the metric system in place??? 1=1=1 is so much easier 😉
What type of compost do you use and where do you by from? Thanks in advance
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!
Curtis, what do you do with your compostable waste?
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?
Anybody have recommendations for setting up lights for starting seeds? What kinda lights do I need and how many do I need?
hi Curtis we don't have compose available where am from. would just adding organic fertilizer be sufficient? or what do you recommend?
Curtis did not use the metric system because as he mentioned, at the dirt yard compost is measured by the yard using the front end loaders bucket as a measuring tool.
how about hauling fees for the compost from plant to farm? I usually figure $50. per CY
Have you ever worked on terraced beds? Our property has about 4 acres of land that's on a hill. But the property use to be fully functional orchard. But now there is just grass and weeds growing on it. But I know it could be used for so much production. I'm even trying to think of some type of caterpillar tunnels going down the steps to help keep out bugs and weed seeds.
really proud of you curtis
– from a longtime student, this rip is to you sensei.
instructions unclear. Dick stuck in toaster
The formula we use is square feet x inches deep x .0031 = cubic yards. (ex: 125 x 2 x .0031) Just a different way to get to the same conclusion. Wish we would convert to the more sensible metric system…
Why use 30" width beds rather than 48"? Is it because it's easier to reach, available material at that width, or some other factor?
I think it's really generous of you to share all this info. Thank you for your videos.
You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.
Alternatively you could convert to feet and divide the answer by 27, which a cubic yard 27 cubic feet. 2.5' x 0.1667' x 50 =20.833 ÷ 27 =0.771cubic yd.
1481 dollars.
Convert it to rupees ie 1481*100 (approx dollar rate) = 148,100 of compost for quarter acre. DAMM !!
In Pakistan we input about 20-30 thousands rupees ie (200-300$) per acre at most. This is ridiculous amount of compost.
Although compost is easily available here though.
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
My compost turned stinky thanks guy
