Looks like TH-cam has gotten greedy and denied A LOTTA creators their rightful due and that's WRONG! Every creator has mentioned this and YourTube has obviously taken their creators and viewers for granted. It WAS such a good format.
hello Curtis .. I'm not aware of anyplace I could learn as much as I have on youtube univercity. but Curtis, wherever you go I will follow.!! the information here is just as important to me as your books and video. without your videos I would have never gotten off disability and started my own business. I'm hoping one day to come hear you speak and meet face to face. You Have So Changed My Life for the Better.. and your so dang entertaining ! ;) Leslie.
Happy New Year, Curtis. Amazing harvest. I'm a 65 year old American, and I've taken a vow to NOT be connected to everyone else on the planet at all times. I've also vowed to never join FB or to send a text. Having said that... yes, I do communicate on a land line, a cell phone, and I'm wifi connected to the Internet at home, where I can access my email. I also use the net to look up information, watch documentaries and TH-cam videos. As a hobby gardener, I like to watch gardening, homesteading, permaculture, and sustainability videos, and I've watched most of your channel. I hope that you won't leave YT. Keep up your good work.
was not aware this was going on .. but i no u and a select few i follow on you tube have changed my life .. and i sure hope u all keep changing life's and putting up great content. and i liked seeing a vlog every day, but there is only so much time in the day .. thanks for all your help.
I had my left eye muscles literally break, and with it my whole life did too. I lost my job selling solar panels, wrecked my car because I couldn't see, and now Im literally jobless, unemployed, and so scared to work for someone again since they can just up turn your life if you no longer serve them. Your videos have absolutely inspired me to start my own microgreens business, and I have followed all of your advice. I bought your book, and also a copy for my neighbor. If you set up a link for donation I would donate in a heart beat, and skip youtube entirely. 1. have a place on your website to host videos. 2. make a video telling us you are leaving youtube and send the link to your video channel. 3. Make a mailchimp or some type of auto email that lets us know when a new video is out. 4. We will just follow you to your new page however you decide to set it up. 5. Create the donate button so that way we can skip all the middle man and just donate straight to you. I know people are absolutely willing to pay for your content. I would rather pay you versus pay youtube and advertisers. 6. I bought all the PaperPot trays to start growing microgreens because of your video promoting them and talking about them. That's what sold me, not any systems created by youtube. Again so much love!
I would not recommend FB. I have come to hate it and am weening off of it altogether, although I, like others have said would follow you even there or any other platform you choose. But I think looking for the new technology platforms will eventually serve you better. I have enjoyed seeing you grow your business and your channel content. I think 2018 will be an exciting year for you and your family. Happy new year!
Heard about steemit.com for the first time in this video yesterday. Today I am on it and love what I see. Please everybody. Come along and make this community grow!
I'm looking forward to the microgreen course in March. I am starting a microgreen growery at my family farm this spring and will be anxious to see you talk more about growing them. Bought your book, about half way through it now. Keep up the great content!!!
Sadly, FB censors as well. It's very unfortunate that these so called stewards of information and communication seek to abuse their position. I don't have any other recommendations at the moment. If I find something I will certainly share it. Great video. Happy for your success brother!
Hey Curtis, sunflower shoots are my main microgreen crop and I've come up with the only sterilization method to remove white mold (Scerotinia sclerotorium) from inside the seed (that's where white mold hides). Peroxide will not take care of seed borne white mold but rather sterilize the surface of the hulls. The only seed friendly treatment (besides synthetic fungicides) against white mold is to soak the seeds in water with a teaspoon of ammonium bicarbonate per liter of water. It kills ALL the white mold spores and leftovers. Thereafter I inoculate the seeds with spores of a plant growth promoting fungus (Trichoderma harzianum T-22) available at the biocontrol store. This will make the shoots more resistant to infection from outside (mostly through fruit flies, sometimes also the medium). It will also keep Pythium (sometimes present in potting soil) down to a minimum. I'm also trying out another biocontrol agent now, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, to see if it's even more effective.
You might not be political but your life style is. The last thing TPTB want is free thinking independent self sustaining individuals not bound to there debt slave system.
Hi, I would like to thank you for all the videos you have already posted. I was disheartened to hear you imply TH-cam may be going in a direction that is not desirable, including demonetizing some videos. I will say your videos are very inspirational, you also make everything seem easy, I think the greatest barrier for any of us watching your videos to achieve similar success is our own minds. The opportunities of all of us viewers to do good (and earn a living) are out there without too much digging (pun intended). You have posted many incredible videos of yourself just making it happen. I also enjoyed the one that showed some guy growing in his living room before moving to a shipping container that could potentially gross $16,000 a month (if the demand could be found). You are an inspiration as a farmer, as a TH-cam presenter, and entrepreneur. I wish you continued success, I realize some of your videos may act as marketing for your other lines of business, but I truly believe the value you have given freely to so many, the inspiration, etc. is coming back to you in multiples (I hope)...you are reaping what you have sowed. Best wishes and continued success for 2018.
You'll be teaching us about different video platforms too! Love it! Go experiment! Fewer videos are fine. There's enough content on your channel for a superb education.
Curtis, Thank you for your wonderful videos of2017. I purchased your book and follow you daily. You are a great inspiration to me and many others. I really look forward to the daily vide Rica in 2018. May your family be blessed with health and prosperity during 2018. God bless...
Heah Curtis, I have a couple of suggestions for video content. As an older urban farmer, I've found it extremely helpful and necessary to do certain types of stretching excercises before, during and after my harvesting and other work routines. I'm in my fifties now and would like to continue this type of work for some time. The stretching really helps. Also, as far as content goes, where do you see trends in veg production going? It seems like microgreens out on the west coast might be waning in popularity and things like larger decorative leaves gaining on popularity. What trends do you see if any?
Hi. One question regarding the H2O2 + Vinegar. The mixture was 20 ml of each per one liter of water. But then you say that you added 5 liters for 2100 grams of seeds....I think I missed something..
I fill the same way..... about the ratio. Also, I have another question. I purchase USA made 1 gallon 12% food grade hydrogen peroxide from Amazon. And their instructions is 3 drop 12% = 1 drop 35% . What ratio I should follow? According to his ratio (29%) if I use 50 ML hydrogen peroxide and 50 mL of white vinegar with one liter of water would be okay.? Because mine is 35% not 29%....
First off let me say that I appreciate the time and trouble you go through to convey your ideas and knowledge to everyone. Second,I have a question.....why do you say to only use black sunflower seeds? I have seen several others using the striped seeds and the microgreen looks the same. Again thanks for your knowledge...God bless you and your family.:)
Can you make a video about the time in between harvest and selling. How you store the products that are ready to be sold. Do you grow after someone orders or do you sell it at markets after harvesting?
Thanks for the tip on avoiding fungus, I have been having such a problem with it. I for one, would gutted to not see you on TH-cam, but fully appreciate your reasons. Some are going for their own TV Channel, so maybe worth a look in collaboration with guys doing similar growing.
Thanks Curtis, I just started watching your videos and I love them. I grow my own microgreens and I am learning from watching your videos. I live in Boulder Colorado and would love to learn more about the paper pot planter.
I'm so hungry for Passta :) Can't wait for the online course. Plan on purchasing it. Also looking to contact you about some consulting time in the near future. Thanks a million for the videos and sharing as much as you do.
Awesome video. full of need-to-know-information for us startups. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year. I like TH-cam because as an old timer, I know how it works and I hate to change very quickly!!
Happy New Year Curtis and I think you deserve a break from the pressure of making the videos and being so giving of yourself and even though I really love them, I am excited to hear that you have other things on the go. Here in Melbourne, Australia it is a scorching 42 degrees today and my outdoor microgreens have been covered with shadecloth in the hope they don't fry, so I am jealously eyeing your all weather space in this video. The pink sprouting kale is really suffering already at 10 am . Only three days ago it was 7 degrees overnight, so massive temperature variations but the snowpeas have thrived. Thanks for all the hints and tips.
You could be an IRL streamer on Twitch? Stream an hour or longer depends on how you would like your setup. Might save you some time editing because it would be raw. It may need to be more planned, but might save you time and earn you more revenue. People can Prime Subscribe to you which gives good returns as well as donations while you are live.
vimeo is another option just finished my part 1 microgreens video, that will be on a community cable station, doesn't hold a candle to your content but I think it's pretty good
Just curious, do you often run your hands thru the product without sanitizing? Curious how regimental you are with sanitization. How you sanitize the trays, even what the processes of sanitizing seeds I am interested in.
Thanks Curtis you are the most famos microgreen grower in the world ! How you heat up your greenhouse ? I didnt see any of heat mats or something that heat your greenhouse. Pleas suggest i am in trouble with fan only . Thanks in advance !
I am in Maine am starting up. What food safety concerns/regs do you have to comply with? Sanitizer for veg/greens wash? Water compliance, of coliform testing do you have to do? Or if because of the Municipal water you use for irrigation is that an issue for you? Will be in AZ for your training!! Looking forward to it!!!!!!!
Love to see all your sun sprouts... (i just grow 2 trays for me)... yes! migrate to Steem b/c $$$ and Support Freedom... Always Inspiring! ...Thanks for your vids!... Hope to see more... Happy New Year!
For better soaking you can use air pump for aquarium, which can increase the germination speed. After the soaking you will see the small sprouts for the most of seeds. And the vinegar is unnecessary, peroxide can remove 99% of bacterium from seeds, just add 30 gram of peroxide on 1 liter of water and soak your seeds in this solution for 10 hours.
Another channel I follow, Incredible Tiny Homes to name drop, does live feeds on Facebook and then posts the video unedited just as it was streamed 24-48 hours later. They create very little YT exclusive content. I think it works pretty well.
I Have your book , starting here in New Mexico with low poly tunnel in August salad greens , spinach,arugula, beets, turnips, garlic.... I’ve have baked wild fermented bread, quiche, pies , meat and fruit, for our Taos farmers market for 5 years, I’m really hoping to switch to sell vegetables and greens! After being a chef for 17 years, construction before that. Your videos are the motivation for this, much gratitude, thank you...if ever in Taos , let me know?
Terrific video, Curtis. By the way, I have the same concerns about google/youtube, but, for right now, it's the largest and easiest service. I think the steemit and (patreon maybe?) avenues are worthy, especially for people of like mind - meaning people that are ok for paying at least a little something for worthwhile content. I totally respect your Libertarian leanings there. Great work as always.
hey curtis how are you I see your videos everyday and I learn so much, and by the way I'm from mexico I heard that you came to mexico I suppose it was the cancun beach I hope to have that knowledge someday and to have a company like yours so thanks very much and god bless you KEEP IT UP
Happy New Year's Curtis love seeing you progressing and expanding and doing the things you love. Imma forever subscriber and willl watch every single one of your videos thanks for all the knowledge you have given us all
Another question for you: what are the advantages of your sterilization process in the video -vs- using lactobacillus casei sprayed upon the new seeding?
Hello Curtis im starting growing microgreens and ai have a questions wich are the best temperature to grow microgreens and how do u mantain this temperarura on winter? Thank u and continue with the great work 🤗 greatings from azores
Another awesome vid! 2 things... 1. The quickcut micro harvester... Not a fan? 2. Tron (trx) coin is a content based crypto you may be interested in the service goals! (plus its booming right now!) Thanks Curtis, for all you do! Dan
I would like to see some how to video courses. Something that I could study at my leasure to make me a better gardener. There is a huge need here and I would like to see you fill it.
Wow! You must be the 80th TH-cam channel I've seen say TH-cam is messing with there platform. It's really sad even a channel about growing vegetables is "too radical " I don't know what the service is but it won't be long before someone comes along to scoop up all this content.
You mentioned about having carrots sitting in the cooler. How are you keeping them fresh and crisp and are the greens still on them while they sit in the cooler? For example are the carrots sitting in water, or do you go in from time to time and mist them with water?
hi, i'm a 12th grader in my high school and we have a small little business, i wanted to know how much seeds in grams do you add per each tray. i have been doing some trails with radish, kale, sunflower, corn, amaranth red garnet, and spinach but i cant seem to get the spinach to grow. i just to know, so i can see if it will work for me. only if you want to share it with me. thank you and i'm a big fan.
Question: you mentioned an online microgreen growing workshop. I cannot find any info on your website. Can you please provide a link? Thank you! And thank you for all of your hard work!
I think you have a great opportunity on steemit already as you have so much youtube content generated you can seed (pardon the pun) to a whole new audience. I'm sure you could even speech to text your vids for words for intro in each blog post, edit then publish, linking to each video on TH-cam.
Curtis, have you tried sterilizing with ozonated water instead of peroxide and vinegar? I just got an ozone generator for $20 shipped for free from China purchased on eBay. It has an airstone bubbler which you leave in the water you want to use for sterilisation. That would save you money wouldn't it?
Curtis, watching this video it looks like you have the sunflower shoot "hulls" under control. Unfortunatly I do NOT. Have you done any video on this, ie. getting the shoots to kick off the hulls in a uniform/timely manor? Also thinking it may be my altitude. I live in Norther New Mexico at 6700 ft. and notice that it takes anywhere from 25%-100% longer to grow anything here than what is usually listed on the packaging. If you have any suggestions, I would welcome them. Thanks
Hopefully, TH-cam finds a better way to handle demonetization, but I’d say Facebook is second best. ‘Curtis Stone is live’ could make good content for your followers. You could also publish condensed versions of your most popular TH-cam videos with text overlays (this trend really kicked off last year) to help spread your content. Also with Facebook, you can have the videos on your page while still posting to TH-cam. That way you can grow an audience on both platforms.
Have you appealed any of the demonitizations? I've never NOT had a video remonitized after requesting a review. I'm somewhat biased since TH-cam is the only social media I engage, but I don't think it makes much sense to try to reinvent the wheel on a different platform. TH-cam isn't perfect, but as a creator (like you) that values sharing real information over making money with clickbaity fluff, I still believe it's better to be on a mainstream platform that makes it easy to find content. You have a large enough archive you could easily take a few months off from posting videos without a) making much of a difference in your revenue or b) feel bad about leaving your viewers with nothing to watch. If anything, a hiatus can bring in more new viewers and encourage existing subscribers to go back to old videos. I say dial it back on TH-cam and ramp up other ventures.
Hello, congratulations on what you are doing and about the great videos. I would like to ask you why you wash the green vegetables? if you do not wash them, those have a longer life, or not?
I am more than willing, eager even, to follow you to another platform that is NOT TH-cam. Awesome idea!
same. I'd like for youtube to have to compete
Looks like TH-cam has gotten greedy and denied A LOTTA creators their rightful due and that's WRONG! Every creator has mentioned this and YourTube has obviously taken their creators and viewers for granted. It WAS such a good format.
Curtis your videos have created a generation of farmers. youtube cant change the work that's been done.
hello Curtis ..
I'm not aware of anyplace I could learn as much as I have on youtube univercity. but Curtis, wherever you go I will follow.!! the information here is just as important to me as your books and video. without your videos I would have never gotten off disability and started my own business. I'm hoping one day to come hear you speak and meet face to face. You Have So Changed My Life for the Better.. and your so dang entertaining ! ;) Leslie.
Thank you and you're welcome.
Happy New Year, Curtis. Amazing harvest. I'm a 65 year old American, and I've taken a vow to NOT be connected to everyone else on the planet at all times. I've also vowed to never join FB or to send a text. Having said that... yes, I do communicate on a land line, a cell phone, and I'm wifi connected to the Internet at home, where I can access my email. I also use the net to look up information, watch documentaries and TH-cam videos. As a hobby gardener, I like to watch gardening, homesteading, permaculture, and sustainability videos, and I've watched most of your channel. I hope that you won't leave YT. Keep up your good work.
was not aware this was going on .. but i no u and a select few i follow on you tube have changed my life .. and i sure hope u all keep changing life's and putting up great content. and i liked seeing a vlog every day, but there is only so much time in the day .. thanks for all your help.
I had my left eye muscles literally break, and with it my whole life did too. I lost my job selling solar panels, wrecked my car because I couldn't see, and now Im literally jobless, unemployed, and so scared to work for someone again since they can just up turn your life if you no longer serve them. Your videos have absolutely inspired me to start my own microgreens business, and I have followed all of your advice. I bought your book, and also a copy for my neighbor. If you set up a link for donation I would donate in a heart beat, and skip youtube entirely. 1. have a place on your website to host videos. 2. make a video telling us you are leaving youtube and send the link to your video channel. 3. Make a mailchimp or some type of auto email that lets us know when a new video is out. 4. We will just follow you to your new page however you decide to set it up. 5.

I would rather pay you versus pay youtube and advertisers. 6. I bought all the PaperPot trays to start growing microgreens because of your video promoting them and talking about them. That's what sold me, not any systems created by youtube. Again so much love!
Your the first out or at least 20 different people doing this that has known to not use house hould peroxide . THANK YOU!!!
I would not recommend FB. I have come to hate it and am weening off of it altogether, although I, like others have said would follow you even there or any other platform you choose.

Steemit, , your doing a grand job , thanks your a inspiration to all , have a great day Curtis
Fae Scotland
I'm excited to try doing some trays of microgreens this winter. I was saving up some random stuff that went to seed over the summer for it.
Heard about steemit.com for the first time in this video yesterday. Today I am on it and love what I see. Please everybody. Come along and make this community grow!
Thank you for showing a step by step process!
I'm looking forward to the microgreen course in March. I am starting a microgreen growery at my family farm this spring and will be anxious to see you talk more about growing them. Bought your book, about half way through it now. Keep up the great content!!!
I know you are thinking of ratcheting down the amount of content, but the value of what you provide (to me) is worthy of a Patreon page
Sadly, FB censors as well. It's very unfortunate that these so called stewards of information and communication seek to abuse their position. I don't have any other recommendations at the moment. If I find something I will certainly share it. Great video. Happy for your success brother!

You might not be political but your life style is. The last thing TPTB want is free thinking independent self sustaining individuals not bound to there debt slave system.

7:48 for the mix of peroxide and white vinegar in water for sterilizing.
Thanks for the update. Great content. Go with your gut on the new platform.
Happy new year - stay on TH-cam please
Awesome video. full of need-to-know-information for us startups. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year. I like TH-cam because as an old timer, I know how it works and I hate to change very quickly!!

vimeo is another option

Love the greenhouse
There is a videoplatform built on Steemit called Dtube, probably worth checking out since they seem to earn a lot of money with it.
Thanks Curtis you are the most famos microgreen grower in the world ! How you heat up your greenhouse ? I didnt see any of heat mats or something that heat your greenhouse. Pleas suggest i am in trouble with fan only . Thanks in advance !

I trying out Misfits which seems to be a aggregate like Farmbound. I might switch. Thanks for the tip on that, as well.
Another channel I follow, Incredible Tiny Homes to name drop, does live feeds on Facebook and then posts the video unedited just as it was streamed 24-48 hours later. They create very little YT exclusive content. I think it works pretty well.
People have cross interests. And I was commenting on content.
I Have your book , starting here in New Mexico with low poly tunnel in August salad greens , spinach,arugula, beets, turnips, garlic....

After being a chef for 17 years, construction before that. Your videos are the motivation for this, much gratitude, thank you...if ever in Taos , let me know?
chris white, not sure Curtis will see your comment, may want to cut and repost as it's own comment.
Terrific video, Curtis. By the way, I have the same concerns about google/youtube, but, for right now, it's the largest and easiest service.

I'm really looking forward to your microgreens course :) Thanks for another great video, and happy New Year!
When you do find a platform for your content please lets us know where you go, love your video's you are a inspiration to me :)
You Might be a little bias but how are the Paperpot seedling trays and seeding tray working out ?
They're amazing. I wouldn't be selling them if they weren't
Is there some advantage to hand cutting your harvest as opposed to using soms automated harvester?
I would be very interested in your online microgreen course you have inspired me to do it
hey curtis how are you I see your videos everyday and I learn so much, and by the way I'm from mexico I heard that you came to mexico I suppose it was the cancun beach I hope to have that knowledge someday and to have a company like yours so thanks very much and god bless you KEEP IT UP
Happy New Year's Curtis love seeing you progressing and expanding and doing the things you love. Imma forever subscriber and willl watch every single one of your videos thanks for all the knowledge you have given us all
Do you sanitize all kinds of seeds and do you sanitize your soild as well? Thanks in advance ! Awesome videos !
Another question for you: what are the advantages of your sterilization process in the video -vs- using lactobacillus casei sprayed upon the new seeding?
Thanks for your great videos. You're a real inspiration. I'm wondering what you do with the remaining plant in the flats after harvesting.
Do you wash and sterilize all those trays or do you use new trays each time you plant
Hello Curtis im starting growing microgreens and ai have a questions wich are the best temperature to grow microgreens and how do u mantain this temperarura on winter? Thank u and continue with the great work 🤗 greatings from azores
100% agree other platforms needed, TH-cam is going dark
Hi Curtis, what are the MG that need to be sterilized? thanks
Another awesome vid! 2 things...
1. The quickcut micro harvester... Not a fan? 2. Tron (trx) coin is a content based crypto you may be interested in the service goals! (plus its booming right now!)
Thanks Curtis, for all you do! Dan
Terrific video!
Please consider creating a Roku channel. All the freedom you want and need.
I'm no chemistry expert (just ask my viewers), but doesn't the acid and peroxide combine to form bubbles and water. I probably missed something.
I don't no any of the scientific details, I just go on what other experts in sprouting are doing. It works to sanitize the seed, that's all I can say.
Where would you start looking when looking for an aggregator ? I would be interested in going that route for our microgreen production
I would like to see some how to video courses. Something that I could study at my leasure to make me a better gardener. There is a huge need here and I would like to see you fill it.
This message is for TH-cam. If Curtis stops makes videos here i will no longer be visiting your site 😊
Wow! You must be the 80th TH-cam channel I've seen say TH-cam is messing with there platform. It's really sad even a channel about growing vegetables is "too radical " I don't know what the service is but it won't be long before someone comes along to scoop up all this content.
Bitchute is a good up and coming platform for videos.
You mentioned about having carrots sitting in the cooler. How are you keeping them fresh and crisp and are the greens still on them while they sit in the cooler? For example are the carrots sitting in water, or do you go in from time to time and mist them with water?
hi, i'm a 12th grader in my high school and we have a small little business, i wanted to know how much seeds in grams do you add per each tray. i have been doing some trails with radish, kale, sunflower, corn, amaranth red garnet, and spinach but i cant seem to get the spinach to grow. i just to know, so i can see if it will work for me. only if you want to share it with me. thank you and i'm a big fan.
Awesome Curtis.. just awesome 😊... Thanks for this vid!
Happy New Year!
Question: you mentioned an online microgreen growing workshop. I cannot find any info on your website. Can you please provide a link? Thank you! And thank you for all of your hard work!
There’s no link yet. Still working on it.
I think you have a great opportunity on steemit already as you have so much youtube content generated you can seed (pardon the pun) to a whole new audience. I'm sure you could even speech to text your vids for words for intro in each blog post, edit then publish, linking to each video on TH-cam.
Can anyone tell me if Technical Grade H2O2 can be used in place of Food Grade? Having a hard time finding a solid word on this question.
Can you link to the wonder list app?
Watching your video your comment about the peroxide is incorrect. Locally i can buy in 15-55 and larger quantities if needed
Curtis, have you tried sterilizing with ozonated water instead of peroxide and vinegar? I just got an ozone generator for $20 shipped for free from China purchased on eBay. It has an airstone bubbler which you leave in the water you want to use for sterilisation. That would save you money wouldn't it?
Do you need to wash the microgreens before they go out?
Thank Curtis. How do you get such hull-less sunflower greens?
Is the second 8 hour soak also in sterilising solution, or is that one plain water?
Microgreens course? is that available? and What is sherval?
Is it best practice to use a microgreen tray with holes on the bottom? what does that even do?
Curtis, watching this video it looks like you have the sunflower shoot "hulls" under control. Unfortunatly I do NOT. Have you done any video on this, ie. getting the shoots to kick off the hulls in a uniform/timely manor? Also thinking it may be my altitude. I live in Norther New Mexico at 6700 ft. and notice that it takes anywhere from 25%-100% longer to grow anything here than what is usually listed on the packaging. If you have any suggestions, I would welcome them. Thanks
Another superb video...please try more FB videos. Be of good cheer and enjoy the holiday with your family.
Hopefully, TH-cam finds a better way to handle demonetization, but I’d say Facebook is second best. ‘Curtis Stone is live’ could make good content for your followers. You could also publish condensed versions of your most popular TH-cam videos with text overlays (this trend really kicked off last year) to help spread your content.
Also with Facebook, you can have the videos on your page while still posting to TH-cam. That way you can grow an audience on both platforms.
You are awesome Bro!! What do you do with the dirt and stalks in the flats after you harvest?
Mike Adams is in the process of starting another platform
Thanks for the video!
Have you appealed any of the demonitizations? I've never NOT had a video remonitized after requesting a review.
I'm somewhat biased since TH-cam is the only social media I engage, but I don't think it makes much sense to try to reinvent the wheel on a different platform. TH-cam isn't perfect, but as a creator (like you) that values sharing real information over making money with clickbaity fluff, I still believe it's better to be on a mainstream platform that makes it easy to find content. You have a large enough archive you could easily take a few months off from posting videos without a) making much of a difference in your revenue or b) feel bad about leaving your viewers with nothing to watch. If anything, a hiatus can bring in more new viewers and encourage existing subscribers to go back to old videos. I say dial it back on TH-cam and ramp up other ventures.
thank you sir
Ever thought of getting an electric carving knife? For cutting the microgreens?
Hello, congratulations on what you are doing and about the great videos. I would like to ask you why you wash the green vegetables? if you do not wash them, those have a longer life, or not?
curtis, what do you think about harvesting micros with the QCGH? I saw that they are producing a table clamp for it now.
Looks awesome.
How do you sterilize your micro green flats after you've used them?
hi Curtis. I'm ready to buy my books.. what one do i want to get myself setup with microgreen operation? I'm building my greenhouse now. thank you :)
