I'm just a grandmother who likes to garden and can. It is all interesting. I value any and all garden knowledge. I agree, end day light savings time, not needed!
We just finished our third season market farming and the area we're in is full of well established farms with decades worth of loyal customers. Even with that we found our niche and started getting regulars of our own. Next year I have an opportunity on a new farm closer to family but it means moving across the country and starting over again. I appreciate you making these podcasts. Ive been watching your videos for two years now and I have to thank you for giving me the guidance to be organized and successful. Im a great planter but bad planner so any videos about how to start enough plants to have them when you want them is helpful to me.
I feel ya. I feel for ya. And very nice job on your presentations and projects. Your unique freeform style combined with in-depth detailed content is great. Even your commercials are ok.
One day I'll upgrade to a two wheel wheel barrow. In the meantime I'll struggle with the one wheeler until it gives out... Praying it happens sooner than later 😂
Good stuff! I'm really trying to dial things back in my garden this year, so the planning is something that HAS to happen or else it will get out of hand. I don't sell anything, but all the info here is great no matter how large or small the garden is.
I farm around a 1/2 acre, and my biggest difference maker has to be my small ATV with garden trailer hitched behind. It carries 7 5 gal buckets in back, or 4 10x20 seed trays for planting, or every seed, hoe, gridder, Jang, notepad, cell phone, radio, and my water in one trip. I just used it today to run out in the 34 degree temperature and screen 6 buckets of compost for my seed starting mix. Also most work ATVs have a flat rack to work off of also. Very handy. I can't imagine going back to wheel barrows again.
Absolutely! Same here, I'm on 15° slope and do utilize a small 4x4 tractor and wheelbarrows along with plenty of hand work and walking but the main steed is a 24 year old Honda Foreman 4x4.
@@FeralEarthGardensThis is likely to be in my future. Pulling or pushing a full gorilla cart on a bit of grade is about my limit, although I intend to continue to use it rather than lose it!
@@gardeninggalagain So true, the conditioning over the years from labor has really paid off but I'm reaching a point where I think it helps for the long-run to have options to lean on when our bodies need a break but our minds are telling us to keep on going!
I imagine could attach buckets to outside of trailer to hold lighter stuff to save main bed area for heavier items. I want to design a hand carrier to hold 2 stacked seedling flats for shuttling in/out for hardening off. Could make something similar for trailer to decrease trips
@leahtruckenbrod1279 I use a short metro shelf unit on wheels, with 3 48"x 18" shelves, to shuttle seedling flats in and out of my walkout basement for hardening off. They can either stay on the rack or I can offload to a picnic table. If you modify your picnic table to have wire hoops and shade cloth, it really limits how many trips you need in and out as the shade cloth protects from sunburn and wind damage. With shade cloth, I pretty much only worry about possible frosts or storms.
I'm going to mention this in regards to sick chickens and livestock. Back in the day, roughly up to 1960, farmers sanitized everything...water tanks, water cups, feed troughs, stall floors walls and ceilings, cow's bags, milking equipment, etc. They sanitized with iodine. In the early 60s the gov recommended that farmers switch to chemical sanitizer. What is not understood is that iodine supports the thyroid gland in every creature, humans included. The lack of iodine weakens the thyroid gland and, hence, the immune system. This is why everything is sick. Get some iodine and go Old School.
We have a large community garden we found the two wheel wheelbarrow was good for those people who are on the flat ground and the wide paths. They didn't work for those of us on the uneven and terraced areas, and those with narrow paths. On slanted paths the load was more likely to spill over out the side somewhat, and with the narrow paths it was often difficult to make a turn because it made a wider swing than a one wheeler.
all of it is SO USEFUL, every time, including, today a moment to literally laugh out loud about how good the camera work was on the story for the Patreon Adventure Series
I see a microscope in your background. What kind is it? How are you using it and how often? Do you recommend farmers get a microscope and how should they use it? Do you use the microscope on the compost you make and use?
I bought a electric bike with fat tires and I have nick named the bike my garden Goat, I save so much time I tow wheel barrels it's the best idea iv though of for running my huge garden. Try it you won't be sorry.
Genius! They also make a electric tricycle. Think you might have given me inspiration. Though my layout is so direct I might not improve my time, but likely reduce my huffin and puffin with a heavy load.
I wrote my own crop planning software because I could not find something suitable for my use case. It’s currently in Dutch though. I can translate it if there is enough interest 😊
This past summer was new to me for the farmers market. I'm struggling to keep carrots crisp for more than an hour with/without tops, washed or not washed. So I end up keeping them in a water bath... not thr .ost convenient. Any suggestions, thoughts?
3:14 there’s a whole army of natural farming sustainable farmers out there be included using things like Korean natural farming allow you to no longer have to rely on the stores for fertilization Microbial inoculants even making potting soil.
Would you consider remote for the producer role you’ll be posting soon? I live in south bend Indiana and have audio / visual experience and funny enough reached out yesterday morning to y’all about the potential for a role or need for a role just like this. Definitely spooky to be watching and then hear you say that, considering I had emailed about it. Right. Well, if remote is an option, that would be very very cool. I’m a farmer as well, with radio and television experience. Would love to connect.
Instead of CDC telling people what not to do, hospitals and funeral homes should partner and thank people for growing their business by hugging and kissing chicken. Some people simply react better to reverse psychology one would apply to a 3 year old.

Happy 50th Anniversary on your show. Love your insights and practical big picture advice.

Yes, this question goes to the chaos of trying to make a plan,...scariest part of gardening!
It’s all about the fam! Get moving! Lol

My grandfather's birthday was also a Friday the 13th ... so is mine ... yippee! Good luck!

definitely gonna keep my eyes peeled for that job posting. 😉
Waitressed my way through high school and college. YES to always having one's hands full while walking from Point A to B!

Iodine is added to table salt for that reason.

Your idea of a soil auger is a great time saver for arthritic hands
Hugh fan of dad jokes. So much information!
I love ALL No-Till Growers videos!

Congrats on the 50th.
Great title! ❤🎉🎉🎉
👍 best tip from the video is wheels. Even a hitch on my car (Ford Escape) comes in handy.
I’m in agreement with Tom Baty
Have you heard or tinkered around with the seedtime app/site? It can back count based on what you want to harvest
I see a microscope in your background. What kind is it? How are you using it and how often? Do you recommend farmers get a microscope and how should they use it? Do you use the microscope on the compost you make and use?
Go watch Matt Powers and his permaculture soil and microscopy videos... Yes, very useful.

Hello I live south of Lexington , do you have to add lime to your garden

Great title!
If you don’t adjust your time pieces after moving from HI to AZ, you’re gonna be way late for stuff.
The province of Saskatchewan doesn't have a time change, either.
Love your show but I think the song is from Smash Mouth not Bare Naked Ladies.
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast…

Real time only works if you dont need to live in the real world. Just saying
Can you give info on how much Tilth soil you use in relation to how many seedlings you start in spring?
