Oyster mushrooms make huge numbers of spores, which become airborne and end up in your lungs. Make sure you have good ventilation and wear good filtration when working around the mature mushrooms, or you can end up with terrible lung problems. I personally know several people who got into mushroom farming who ended up getting out due to serious health problems from fungal infections in their lungs, it's a real hazard to be aware of.
Hope he sees this
Yup!
These fungal spores are a hazard to the lungs. Very dangerous to be around it for prolonged periods of time without a good ventilating system.
2020 hehe Masks are trendy
Oyster Mushrooms do not produce spores until late in their life cycle. It is very similar to vegetables and seeds. For oyster mushrooms the cap starts out folded down(the iconic mushroom shape) and then move up to where they are straight, and then end up with the edges upwards (making a bowl). It is only after they are bowl-shaped that they release spores. The rule most people use is to watch the largest (most advanced) mushroom for each cluster, and when that mushroom is almost flat, then you harvest the whole cluster. If you are a mushroom farmer, you should never see bowl-shaped oyster mushrooms similar to how a market gardener should never see lettuce seeds maturing.
Very true. I always use my hands working with my plants. Even breaking down and mixing soil with decomposts. It sometimes takes time but its a great feeling to see the plant sprout and grow from the soil that was put together with my hands. 👍
I always learn a lot watching your videos. Thanks so much, I'm grateful.
Very happy you are back. Good luck this season and thanks for all the info - it is much appreciated
WOW! You're getting an incredible amount done over this winter! Super impressed with the speed at which you're able to seed your trays. AMAZING. I've seen Curtis Stone demo the actual planting process and that too is incredibly fast and time saving. It will be very interesting at the end of the season to see the impact it has on the bottom line of the market garden aspect of your farm. I wonder whether it will begin to make that part of your operation as profitable as the animal portions. Really interested to see that. It will also be exciting to see the changes to your home and your family's quality of life with the way you're optimizing the use of the heat generated by your wood stove. It's truly remarkable the impact simple design can have on making use of every drop energy vs the hugely wasteful way the western world uses it. If every home was designed for maximum efficiency through first conservation (decreasing how much energy that's needed to run the home as a function of it's design, siting, insulation, etc) and then through optimization of systems, that alone would drastically reduce human impact on climate destabilization and habitat destruction. It's incredibly moving to me to see what you and so many others are doing in this regard. You are leaders in showing humanity how we can turn our ship around before we take ourselves over the falls so to speak. Keep up the great work!!!
I'm very interested in doing one of your 6 week internships at some point, but can't just yet. I hope to have that opportunity one day soon!
PS
Ragna is adorable...
Good to see you back Richard :-) can’t help wondering if a wire inset to your seeding table - like the mesh floor of your chicken mobiles - would simply allow any overflow potting mix to fall straight into a container below - no more bench wipe downs after each tray has been seeded? Look forward to seeing your paper pot transplanting in action when the season begins 👍

Super impressed by your approach to this way of life. Everything you touched upon today has been of great personal interest. As I am a "newbee" there is much to catch up on, having only stumbled upon you with your interview with Charles Dowding from June, 2019. I'll have to get your book but nothing replaces the TH-cam video. The Book should be a wonderful asset to have for constant reference.
Thank you so much for showing how the seeding process goes for the paper pot transplanter! I have seen Curtis Stone use the transplanter, but I've never seen how the system is seeded. So cool!
Hi, I also used them here in Japan. We put a paper below not to have the roots sticking and after finishing adding the top soil, we give'em a water bath soak to moisture the whole pallet. I liked the vermiculite on top!
You're most erudite Richard and your message is always very clear and succinct.
some thoughts on speeding it up. put it on hinges so it lands in the same place. That also means a holder for the paperpot tray so it cant move. Hinge it on the other side or have a frame for the seeder to drop into for alinment.
thanks a lot for making this very clear and helpfull video on the paperpot and for all your work which inspire us, small scale veggy farmer ! we are in germany, starting season 4, having the paperpot system for 2 years now and ordered some paperpots from your website today:) Farm on, you are just great !
There is no "off" season is there.? You have more going than ever. Thank you for taking time to video.
Hi, where can we get that honey comb paper with the holding tray, in fact the whole kit with seeder? Where can I order them?
The paperpot gear we use is direct from the manufacturer in japan.
The idea of vermiculite is just great.
if you use masking tape on the seeder plate in a diagonal fashion, skipping every second line of holes you can increase the spacing i.e. 15cm becomes 30cm...and so on...
also doing that. the seedings being a bit pricy...
@@charlottecressy4530 Yes it is, however, if you have the volume then it is cheap compared to the cost of labour or the time savings you make if you do it without additional labour. You need the volume/scale to make it economical...
@@kevinwallace4801 sorry i meant the seeding plakes. The paperpot system as a whole is totally worth it,no regrets at all!
Thoroughly enjoying your videos (second so far lol) brought back memories to when I just started as a Apprentice Gardener in Scotland almost 50 years ago.
We used wooden seed trays, a dibber (basically 0.25" plywood with wooden dowels inserted into drilled holes in the plywood pretty well like your Dibbler in plexiglass.
I think it was John Innes seed compost that we mixed up in the potting shed floor.
It's amazing to see similar method being used all these years but seeing you filling and seeding the trays it's way faster.
I was only getting paid £7.00 a week back then, barely covered my bus fares going to work and learning.
Thank you for sharing your video's with us, I forgot how much I loved the job....
You are my planting hero!
Fill several trays together with your seeding mix, then dib them all, then place the seeds in all trays, then place the vermiculite on all trays, then move to shelves. Wasted moves each time from picking up one implement or tool and then changing process. Keep all stages together to save your time and maximise efficiency 👍
Wow. Really cool video.
I´m so happy that there are tools like this which make work so very much faster and more scaleable without always needing motorized or even computerized equipment. You NEED to be able to put out a lot of work to make a living. But you apparently don´t need loud, motorized equip for every job. For some jobs obviously, but for fewer jobs than i had thought.
Awesome brother you almost have me sold on the paper pot system at the end of this growing season I will see if it would benefit our farm until then I will just dig holes and bang rocks 👋😜🇨🇦
Richard ... Did you say or list where you get the 1) Tray Dibbler 2) Drop Seeder and ... ANY of the other tools you were using??? Maybe I missed it. In any case, very great and informative videos ... as always!
Will your book talk about how you are growing your mushrooms? Everything I have seen you doing so far is very exciting! I’m new to the channel. And I’m a new farmer! Thank you for the teaching you are willing to share with others, it’s greatly appreciated!
Great video and a well spoken young man. Kudos
Do you do any seed harvesting and saving or do you simply order in?
So sickens me to see clear cut forestry, esp after a drought year. Very eager to see how you make this better.
It's not forestry, it's toilet paper. :)
Cheryl Carlson pine trees are the worst. They kill the understory, acidity the soil and are highly flammable in drought. California replanting pines for industrial lumber is a perfect example. Then erosion after fires. It’s so stupid. I love He’s plantings nut and fruit trees.
Немања Костић you knew what would happen in 2020, didn’t you?
We understand the need to harvest trees. Trees are, and can be, treated as any other crop we grow. Trees grow back. They're wonderful. It looks a little upsetting, with stumps, downed branches and wheel ruts everywhere. It's sad, too, that it takes a crop so long to grow, and the returns are relatively low. The monoculture spruce forest, yes, not very diverse, but it's very economical to the forest companies.
I worked as a silviculture technologist. Under my watch, millions of trees have been re-planted.
But, a forest is a good cash crop, and a great way to get a large capital infusion to an agricultural infrasture project (as you shared).
All the best, Richard. Looking forward to your next book: I'm eating up "How small farms work"
Richard, where do you purchase the seedling system and trays from. Its appreciated if you share a link. Thank you
I also like more information on seeder please
Ty
Very awesome, I have learned alot, I will buy your book. Good job. Maybe in future root cellar, and storing food😊
good day mate. have you experience using different types of seeder?
are the plate interchangeable?
cheers
Do you start all your seedlings for your farm in this little lean-to?
It would be nice mate if you could answer the questions... one been where can we buy or order the seed tray kit from ? hope to hear from you thanks.
First have a fairly large soil bin on the counter beside where you're working on a flat in order to save time and the back breaking work of repeatedly bending over to scoop soil. Secondly put your flat inside a shallow bin so that you can very quickly wipe all excess soil off of your flat without having to be careful about making a mess on the counter as the shallow bin will collect all soil you've shoved off of your flat. Then you can remove the flat, dump the shallow bin into your larger soil bin and save the time that you'd otherwise use to clean the counter.
Hey Richard, Connor from Neversink does a rotating hand motion (think Karate Kid) to rub the potting soil into the cells with a soft touch so as not to disfigure the cell layout. It looks really quick and effective. Never uses a brush. One drop on the table and ready for seeding...
wow, this system is great. Nothing i would ever need for my backyard grows but very cool
You could use a pool noodle to cover a bunch of electrical wires. Slice one side all the way down then shove the wires inside.
Power to your elbow, Richard!!! I was going to write a list of all the things you do...... well, too
......and there wasn't enough space :)
TY Mr. Perkins. Always informative.
Incredible. Thank you
Add some dirt or cornstarch to the radiator , that really helps !
What is the appropriate temperature for seed germination
Love your videos. Seems like you need to work out a way to avoid bending for soil and vermiculite each time.
where to get the trays..seeder...dibbler...etc etc?
Where did you find the bottom trays that fit the paperpot trays? I have been looking without success?
Richard is back from hibernation! good luck on the book and the spring season! :)
Interesting to see a Japanese product used outside of Japan! Note that the product shown in this video is Chain Pot, not Paper Pot.
Where do you buy this system from??
Thank you 🙏 for sharing. I learn so much valuable information from you. You are brilliant!
If it's good for you (or your athlete's foot), then it's good for mushrooms. Except for sunlight, that is. :)
Get that book 📖 done brother we are hungry for it.
I did not see a link to the seeding tray product, can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Looks good can´t wait for your new book!
Where is the link to the seedtrays?
would be nice if this guy would tell all of us where we can buy or order from.
why he is not telling where to get seed trays
looking tidy Richard. You can get a relatively cheap retrofit LED for the florescents which is half the wattage. Hey what are your thoughts on Coco coir vs vermiculite on top of your seed tray?
Very interesting video! Forgive me but I thought I had heard you in another video say you wouldn't use these paperpot systems. What has changed that has made you reconsider? Thank you
He made like 5 Videos explicitly about all the reasons why he would use that and only that going forward.
I am not sure but I thought he said he wasn’t going to sell it through his tool company. He has had one for more than a year to test it. He likes it but not a fan of the fungicide in the cardboard.
@@ArmwrestlingRevolt These ones my look like cardboard but they are actually plastic.
Hi what is the materials of this machine?
I've tried most of the links, can't find where buy the seed / trays he's using???
where do you buy the tools?
Where can I buy such equipment?
I hope the mushroom stuff is in your new book
Are there different sizes for those kits?
That tool is pretty cool.
Would love to buy the book when it’s available.
Kirstein Holland hope you’ve got the book, it’s brilliant
Child is to cute Masha Allah
Where do I buy and how much are these seeding trays etc I live in Portugal
Would you please just move here to Parrottsville TN? You can just move right onto our 60 acres with us.
Looks great Richard!
Remember that you are not 20 years old anymore, don't work to hard, it is time to start enjoying the fruits... Enjoy your family, they are yours for only a few years, enough with the crazyness!
Have a blessed day!
A man who works hard stays strong. Videos & work & working the homestead are just part his day. The old saying, Use it or lose it is very apt, especially in these days of technology & gadgets making everything almost too easy. A wife needs to see her man is willing & capable of breaking a sweat for the benefit of his home & family. And kids need to have a good examples to exemplify & nurture work ethic in a world focused on the coffee break, the dinner bell, & the paid vacation or lack thereof. Being industrious while one still can be is wise. He's making his house a home, & that's not a crime.
To each his own.
Where are you getting the trays that are under perforated ones? I can't seem to find anything around that size locally and they're not in your store either.
I couldn't find either, and not in any of the above links
Where can I buy this or something similar.
for mushroom growth which plants straw do you use
Have you got a link for those boot trays under thppt trays?
My back was aching after watching the seeding with the paper pot system. Your bench is too low for me. I think you could add an auxiliary bench right on top of the existing bench, permanent or temporary. This raised work level, maybe six or eight inches, should extend beyond the original bench, a foot or so, to create space for your seeding medium containers on the floor below, and ease back strain by allowing the trays to be closer to your body. The near edge of the raised bench could have notches for sweeping the extra soil bits into the containers. The raised platform would create a narrow shelf space between the two bench tops that would accommodate your seeding tools. Great videos! Thanks!
Game changer 👌
Ha I am from India I want to purchase seeds drop and paper pots
Grat job
Please try a 30cm wooden ruler to scrape the top soil🇦🇺👍
The proce is ridiculous for some paper and plexiglass with hole
Superb and ingenious! But, the vermiculite is carcinogenic in the mining process, there was a PBS program on this, not something I would use.
Many things are carcinogenic when you spend all day inhaling it - maybe everything. Actually anything that goes into your body in quantity that doesn't belong in a body is potentially cancer causing.
How can we find out about where to donate to your Crowd Funding? I would like to throw in a bit to help you. Thx
Would pigs help with compacted soil?
Definitely!
Sign me up for the crowd sourcing of the book!
Are you replanting Doug Fir in the forested areas? Something else?
Jarvis Jensen he said he’s going to let it go back to native trees. He’s done it successfully in other areas.
Nice
Your trees are too big but I saw a man with lots of brambles and trees. The 1,000 pound cows trampled all over the briars to get to the good pasture available. Then he let loose the goats and then the chickens. Goats ate everything. The chickens ate the fly maggots in the cow pies so the flies never reproduced themselves. Then he let the hogs in and they ate what was left and uprooted trees. All the farmer had to do is to cut the trees with a chainsaw for firewood and run the rest through the wood chipper for compost. I would have added a step and drilled holes into some of the logs for mushrooms. The animals work for free. And the farmer had little to do to clear the land.
OMG this is great, so fast hehehe.
Saw the cases and cases of paperpots to go into the garden. Planting once or twice is probably ok but continued repetitive use of the paperpots have to have an impact on the soil. The manufacture of paper is not a clean process in itself and constantly placing these into the same soil bed can't be good.
I have studied this process at length and came to the conclusion that there has to be a better way. I understand the need to cut time in process as growing ground crops is a very time involved process.
The paper has to come from somewhere, the binding agents have to be chemical and this has to be shipped a very long way. All this has a price on the environment and not long term sustainable.
Paper is biodegradable and the glue would surely be made of insects. Where do chemicals come into play?
@@goldenages7089 If it was just paper and glue, we could be all be happy. There are many other factors and ingredients that make up the mix called cardboard and paper. I have been to many paper mills to see the manufacture firsthand.
I dunno buddy. Compost worms love paper and cardboard, glue and all. If compost worms have any chemicals they will die, so I would have to question the accuracy of your statements.
@@goldenages7089 Thats ok there are many crack and meth addicts that say what they do doesn't hurt anyone. Paper doesn't bind to itself and so it doesn't decompose there are additives to help stop this. If you don't want to listen, that's fine by me. We live in a free country. To each his own.
He has compost worms in his garden, so the paper will definitely be turned into highly beneficial worm castings.
There are many videos documenting the laying down of cardboard and then organic material on top of that as the basis for a no dig garden. The cardboard inhibits weed seeds from sprouting and in a few years time with the help of the worms is all broken down naturally to form a rich soil.
I have not seen the detrimental effects you describe documented anywhere. Perhaps you could link us to a video?
How to make paper pot
Ergonomics on the table. Aching backs after a couple of trays? Way too low, 36" average... Higher for taller people, lower for shorter people....
I can help you with a passive way to heat your green house should you want it.
Do tell...
I enjoy following your process and learning from it. I've noticed you take economics quite seriously but maybe, just maybe, it's time you invested in some sort of a mic? Or maybe you could repurpose an old gaming headset or the like? Cheers!
Very nice follow me and see how I plant pine from seeds
Couldn’t hear most of the time. 😟
5th min and still nothing about seeding... :(
6:40 on, dear.
it is a great video. but please dont use Cement, on one side we are talking about regenerative farming to absorb CO2, make the earth a better place and on other side we use cement which is very harmful for the environment.
I wonder WHEN WILL YOU FIGURE OUT that your TABLE - your WORK TABLE is about 25cm TOO LOW - Your back must be killing you, WORKING HUNCHED OVER...
hellou i want one this beutiful machine. what i need to do?
