Am trying to find out what is the name of the tray that u put over the crates to seed it instead of hand seeding the crates.. I Google it but I am not seeing it saw it in a video I can't remember the name
"You figure things out by doing it wrong first". That reminds me of a job I had years ago. They did so many things wrong that I could see how I would do it right. It was really great training.
For those who don’t know Scott Hebert has a TH-cam channel also. His gardening project failed due to Covid. He became a stoic, training body and mind to an extreme extent and also became a successful professional artist. It’s been a real trip watching his channel/transformation
That's neat that he said he is learning how to just do stuff wrong so he can learn from it. Analysis Paralysis. Changing that mind can be a huge challenge, but seeing his successful outcome is inspiring.
Thanks Curtis for this great follow-up interview. After your first interview with Scott, I subscribed to his channel and I’ve really enjoyed his videos, which are practical, inspirational, and just plain fun! It’s super cool to see someone take your farming format and make it a success.
Really good advice for a first year solo farmer like me. I had a fellow farmer asked me if I was going to grow more next year. Meanwhile I’m thinking about what I won’t grow next year.
Scott seems like your perfect student Curtis! He put his acquired knowledge into action and is vigilant about learning from his own experience & context. 👍🏿👍🏿
Nah, not perfect by any means. There are a lot of people who have taken Curtis' information and ran with it for themselves, I just happen to be one of them.
That was a great episode Curtis. I remember watching Scott when he was still working at the golf course and pulling off 18-hour days and working his butt off. So great to see that his hard work has been rewarded. He's going to do really well.
Thank you Curtis for showing how other dedicated growers are doing it, but more importantly, you are showing all of us the real farmers & growers . Perhaps this will educate people the difference between a real farmer and the corporate farming practices. Cheers, Dk.
What a great video! I like the part where you said that you decided to start avoiding analysis-paralysis and trusted yourself to make mistakes and then correctly. Best of luck to you Scott.
Thanks for everything Curtis! Awesome farm here Scott, some of the things you've said really help clear some things up for me - I'm just reaching that manageable stage...! Less paralysis by analysis
These are the most valuable videos for us newbies Curtis. Thanks for making them and to the generous farmers sharing their experiences. Maybe one question I'd love you to ask if you could- "would you do anything differently if you had your time over?" Just a suggestion!
I wouldn't have done anything big differently but I could've done everything a little bit better. I don't think I made any critical errors, you have to realize you're going to make missteps in the beginning no matter what but you just have to deal with them.
Brilliant. Interesting that it comes down to a lot of time and motion studies. Small businesses so often loss money because they do not take the time to count the downtime and get rid of it. I've consulted to so many companies who just cannot see where there money is leaking and then I show them the double handling, the double commutes the extra person who does not need to be there. Well done for getting it right and taking the action and putting in the investment needed.
Scott/Curtis, what advise would you give someone for planning out how much seed to start and how often...for example start x amount of flats of salanova every 3 weeks? (that might be a bad example). But when I think about my future farm and starting many different varieties of vegetables and when to start them and how often to start more (replacements)...it gets overwhelming. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for all you do Curtis!
This is the hardest question to answer because all the variables make the questions swing so much. Things to think about: Where are you going to sell this stuff? How much will they take? Guess if you have to and work backwards. Start simple, start small, you can always add in complexity if its too easy but if you're overwhelmed you'll never know what to stop.
Anyone know of any people running economically viable small-scale models other than the diversified market garden? Fruit, livestock, agrotourism, traditional single cash crops, sugar cane, ornamentals, etc. etc....maybe someone can point me in the right direction as I try to explore other options.
I’ve seen people having success raising ornamentals in a greenhouse and selling the potted plants to the retail market. A friend of mine was very successful having a U-cut Christmas tree farm on 10 acres. Developing products rather than just raw food can also help a small acreage get more monetary value from a small patch, such as making hot sauce from peppers and tomatoes you’ve grown or jams.
What I really want to know is how he is able to sell all this? One year I grew a gorgeous bed of mixed lettuce and i couldnt get it sold anywhere. Is this something that varies by area? Im assuming that in bigger cities, stuff like this probably sells better, but how do you get the customer basis?
If it's a survival garden, what is the oil crop? Gotta fry those spuds in sumpthin! I suggest camelina, its a cold weather hardy crop with Omega 3 and vitamin E.
Hey sorry if this was already asked I'm new to this channel, but what kind of bags do you package your greens in and where do you get them? From the video they look like sealable celophane. Great work!
It hasnt been a big deal, if a bed needs more water I can hand water it in. You could also always run both types if it was an issue but I can't see that being a practical solution.
Scott, great setup. Glad to see this. I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more. QUESTION. For you drying station, which way are your fans oriented, toward or away from the greens below? Thanks.
3ish months. Dec-Feb are basically no farming tasks. I thought about going somewhere this winter but now I might buy new camera gear, still have to decide.
An acre is 43,560 square feet, and a football field is 48,000 square feet. An acre is between 90 and 91 yards of a football field. I am gonna say that I "THINK" the property is likely larger than 1/4 acre, and he is "GARDENING" 1/4 acre.
I dont understand how he has all the bare soil... Here there is so many seeds flying around in the air, if its not mulch everything seems to seed on me. Maple trees send their helicopters from so far away! Dandelions, clovers, everything just blows in the wind and takes over!
@@ScottHebert604 Realizing time is valuable have you considered putting cardboard down between rows and on paths to block weed growth? They would naturally break down over the season and help build the soil while saving weeding.
Might be a silly question but does he make all of his money for the year from crops yet grows in the warmer months? I also live in the PNW and without a greenhouse you can't grow outside for at least 3-4 months.
Thanks for coming out Curtis, if anyone has any questions for me I'm happy to jump in on the comments on this video!
Right on Scott.
Do you have a FB page Scott ?
Hi Scott what size cooler do you have is it 4*4*8? Did you and Penny figure out who took the cat food?
Am trying to find out what is the name of the tray that u put over the crates to seed it instead of hand seeding the crates.. I Google it but I am not seeing it saw it in a video I can't remember the name
facebook.com/flavourfulfarms/ Yes, but I use my YT channel more
This guy is highly intelligent, he puts thought into everything! I wish him and his farm the best.

Coolest thing I’ve ever heard in my life, I can’t wait to start farming!
2 years since your comment have you been able to get started and if so how is it going?
That's neat that he said he is learning how to just do stuff wrong so he can learn from it. Analysis Paralysis. Changing that mind can be a huge challenge, but seeing his successful outcome is inspiring.
This to me was key. Just get in there an do it.
Thanks Curtis for this great follow-up interview. After your first interview with Scott, I subscribed to his channel and I’ve really enjoyed his videos, which are practical, inspirational, and just plain fun! It’s super cool to see someone take your farming format and make it a success.
So cool to see new farmers. Even if I wouldn't do everything exactly the same its so useful to hear people's thought processes.
Really good advice for a first year solo farmer like me. I had a fellow farmer asked me if I was going to grow more next year. Meanwhile I’m thinking about what I won’t grow next year.
As I recall, Curtis has boiled it down to microgreens indoors and salad greens outdoors.
I see the same thing, unless you are able to find a niche in your sales environment that is both worth the time and effort.
That's the largest 1/4 acre I've ever seen!
stewart paul Yes! Looks more like 1.4 acres.
@@juleswins3 yeah i was calling BS on that too. Why would they lie about that? I mean, it's right here for us to see.
35x50’ beds is 4500sq ft.
1 acre is 40000ft
It’s actually way under 1/4 acre
Scott Hebert 35 beds 50’long by either 4 or 5’. Around a 1/4 acre or so. Especially with the paths around and between
If he's just measuring the growing area it looks about the same as my property and I'm just under a 1/4 acre.
"Paralysis by analysis"... this quote is gold. I totally understand where he is coming from. Just do it!
Scott seems like your perfect student Curtis! He put his acquired knowledge into action and is vigilant about learning from his own experience & context. 👍🏿👍🏿

This is the dream. I live in So Cal and want to run away to the mountains. I think something like this on a smaller scale would be a nice alternative.
I am going full time farmer in 2 years.. i have been following this urban farming thing..
Thank you Curtis for showing how other dedicated growers are doing it, but more importantly, you are showing all of us the real farmers & growers . Perhaps this will educate people the difference between a real farmer and the corporate farming practices. Cheers, Dk.

Scott Hebert Thanks Scott. I really hope you continue on your very successful path!
I did a 35 tree orchard and just like you said, I did everything wrong but now I do it right because I learned by doing wrong.
Hi Curtis thanks for following up with Scott he has been consistently uploading as well so its great motivation!
Do you pre-label bags as well Curtis?
wd you put up a link for the wobbler sprinklers, please?
Working for Your Freedom thats Awsome.

I'm with Katherine, proof positive that your farming system works Curtis. Great job Scott.
Thanks Norm
1:02
Seeing as it's a winter Pursuit you could actually take up snow plowing in the winter and farming during the rest of the year.
You are aware that in rural, mountain, Ozark territory most people have a 4X4 or tractor?
Very well done Scott! Great to see your farm setup.
Thanks!
So great! I love listening to the farmer, his thought processes and perfecting his art. Thanks very inspiring.
Great improvements Scott! Rocken it. Glad you’re able to do it full time now.
Thanks, me too haha!
GREAT video!! I love how thoroughly he explains his work flow, super appreciate you earth workers !!!

Scott Hebert thank you...I'm sure you've had a lot of trial and error. Thanks man...oh also, watching your channel...love the Corb Lund sticker!
A very inspiring video .Love his hard work and exceptional beautiful gardens. Congratulations Curtis on your successful farmers market venture.
Where is this? Absolutely stunning backdrop
How do you determine price?
Beautiful land with the mountains. Nice.
i was former Engineering technician at JR Huertos Nacionales, SRL.;;;; suggestion: remove internal filter from the washer/spinner!

Nice what is the weeding / preventing process?
Really enjoyed this one
I always appreciate the annual updates with Scott.
starting a new section/bed that is just sod: till and then solarize with tarp or solarize to kill the grass & then till?
dead sod tills up easier than living. if you have time: tarp it for about 2 weeks, till it up, then tarp it again for a bit.
I am in the brain storming mode. Keep coming back to you Curtis.
Great job Scott on the progress looking good bro👊 Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you!
Another good video and good job to Scott for his success.
Thanks Bropocalypse
Great interview Curtis. Please do more!
Are you sure that is only a quarter of an acre?.....that looks like a huge plot. How much total land is that?
If it's a survival garden, what is the oil crop? Gotta fry those spuds in sumpthin! I suggest camelina, its a cold weather hardy crop with Omega 3 and vitamin E.
Does it affect his produce when they crop dust the large corn field that's right next to his farm?
someone is excited about his progress!
;) :D
Way to go Scott. Love your operation. Peace.
Thank you
Links? Did you forget to link his content?
Awesomeness.
Why so much room between the barn and garden beds? Bad light there?
Wow where is this place? The views of the mountains are just breathtaking ! Great video !
Chilliwack, bc
Good thoughts in setup and application. I wonder how this year is going? Did he have the same customers? Did he have to reconfigure his crops?
I like that quote Trust yourself, do it wrong first time than learn from your mistakes
What did you say @ 2:44? You don't sell much arugula because it gets "flea peopled out"?
Hey Curtis, how do you deal with soil depletion?
Great video, great work Scott. hope he has good success
Wait! What is the dryer and fan racks for?! I’m so curious. I’ve never seen that before.
Learning curve here: did you say you used a BCX tool to prepare your soil?
Sean Reed - BCS, it's an Italian brand of walk behind tractors (2 wheel tractors).
Quite fine tool for this type of application.
Cheers
If you have a square, how many yards is needed for the length and width of a quarter acre can you tell me please
I don’t see a link below anywhere to Scott’s TH-cam channel. What’s up? Yeah that a big 1/4 acre.
Hi! Very encouraging! I can’t seem to find the source to buy the tarps that you recommend.
Hey sorry if this was already asked I'm new to this channel, but what kind of bags do you package your greens in and where do you get them? From the video they look like sealable celophane. Great work!
Jayne Henson I just made a video about bags on my channel if you wanted to check it out
Where is this because I need those mountains!
What your calling your dryer. Is it just a washing machine that you use the spin cycle to dry your greens?
Anyone know what the hedge is behind him? Some kind of cypress?
Looking at this with zero experience is incredibly intimidating
I want to do the wobbeler idea but I'm worried about not having the zone manipulation of drip.
It hasnt been a big deal, if a bed needs more water I can hand water it in. You could also always run both types if it was an issue but I can't see that being a practical solution.
Scott, great setup. Glad to see this. I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more.
QUESTION. For you drying station, which way are your fans oriented, toward or away from the greens below? Thanks.
They blow down!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the efficiency
I have seen many of your videos where exactly are you located (state). I never seen cold (winter) snow.
How do you manage weeds?
Can you plant a garden in a slanting hill?
It's awesome to "like" see his success.
Hey Scott. You living my dream, nice. Thanks Diago
Great info! Enjoy your journey.
Nice set-up man. Thanks Curtis, curious how much of time in the winter, is time off.
He could come to AZ and be a snowbird. Lol
3ish months. Dec-Feb are basically no farming tasks. I thought about going somewhere this winter but now I might buy new camera gear, still have to decide.
That is so cool. Thank you for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
That's a quarter on an acre of land? Wow! I thought it would be smaller. I am in the market for land purchasing.
Where’d he get the bags and sealer?
Uline
What kind of scale do you recommend to weigh your harvest?
I just have an industrial analog one that I got from a local scale place. It needs to be big enough to hold one of your harvest totes.
Scott Hebert thank you!
Where do you market, how do you sell?
An acre is 43,560 square feet, and a football field is 48,000 square feet. An acre is between 90 and 91 yards of a football field. I am gonna say that I "THINK" the property is likely larger than 1/4 acre, and he is "GARDENING" 1/4 acre.
The property is way over an acre. His market garden is a quarter acre.
awesome.....thanks guys for huge inspirations!!!!! exciting
nice video/interview/farm info. thanks a lot.
I got it how to grow vegetables.
But how I do I sell them on a consistent basis.
A very large quarter acre, looks massive.
Very nice setup. What is the plant making the hedgerow between properties? Subbed, liked.
I dont understand how he has all the bare soil... Here there is so many seeds flying around in the air, if its not mulch everything seems to seed on me. Maple trees send their helicopters from so far away! Dandelions, clovers, everything just blows in the wind and takes over!
the weeds come back, i pull them back out!
@@ScottHebert604 Realizing time is valuable have you considered putting cardboard down between rows and on paths to block weed growth? They would naturally break down over the season and help build the soil while saving weeding.
First thing we learned in interior design… Form Follows Function
Great vlog great information, as always
