One of the best videos about them I've seen. I like that you have the experience to ask really great questions, but that you made a short video so it's accessible for the rest of us. Yay for youtube recommends and I found you.
Curtis, thanks for the great talk in Sebastapol. It was a pleasure to meet you in person(tall guy with round short guy). You are the man and I appreciate everything you do. Way to be cranking the content while on the road!
Holy shit, Curtis! This was an awesome segment! Kind of a novice, so I'll have to go back and watch again. But some real densely planted info, high-grade, bro! Hope to meet up with y'all at pv3!!
Curtis this is where you buy a vineyard and sell your wine while you teach people how to grow their own vineyard. Great show with nice and clear people.
Absolutely awesome to see this working in areas of low water availability. Where I'm based we have water restrictions (total sprinkler ban in winter and 2 watering days over summer). Thanks.
This was so great can singing frogs farm put together an online course?????????? I think if they went more in-depth into their systems people would be willing to pay for this amazing knowledge. Their are a few market gardening courses out, but Their approach seems to be the best at emulating nature and building soil and a farm enterprise profitably.
+sinestroPB It's not really my area of expertise to be honest. We will be publishing a bonus episode of The Urban Farmer podcast tonight that will talk about this. Find it here. It'll be episode 41. www.permaculturevoices.com/the-urban-farmer-show/
+paradisefarms On my farm, it's the same way as if I tilled. I prepare a bed with the Tilther, which tills the top half in of soil. So, I still have a clean and level bed. The way they do it at Singing Frogs Farm is to transplant everything.
+Urban Farmer Curtis Stone that's intense. Some crops seem impossible to transplant like carrots, or uneconomical like arugula or baby kale. Do they just avoid those types of crops? Enjoy PV3
They still direct seed carrots, radishes, peas, beans, arugula, mizuna, cilantro and spinach directly into the compost on the top of the beds. I just went to a workshop there a couple of months ago.
Dirtpatcheaven I'll give that a try, rotation grazing my muscovies in the areas with bindweed. I thought about doing that this fall, confining them to a certain area for a short time using poly tunnels
Prepare your beds in the early fall. tarp with silage tarp for the winter. Plan for planting those areas last. The longer the tarp is on the more successful the kill.
+Britt Arbanas They cut the plants leaving the root in the ground and then immediately plant new plugs/transplants. Their system requires a lot of labor but still has a very high net income
can their system of hedge rows be included into a urban setting like yours? and is your system considered no till like theres? I really appreciate your content.. its honest and informative!
At the end, you are talking about headro or something - what is that? That is interesting.. Excellent farming. We can apply similar concepts in our gardens and farms. Thx
their fields are so beautiful! thank you so much for showing them!
Agreed !! Beautiful fields ! With pollinator hedgerows... And I have also tapped into your wonderful channel on occasion as well !

It's great to see the rapid cross fertilization of knowledge and experience.... lot's of small holders having their eureka moment re no till.
great stuff i have been doing no till for the last 2 years and i am always surprised how season after season it gets better and easier
I love the sound of soil success. Kudos to you Paul and Elizabeth.

Great video Curtis, looks like you're having fun out there in Cali. What an awesome farm! Enjoy your tour!
Thanks Curtis, this is awesome, keep em coming. Liked and shared.
Great tips and ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Wow...these guys are Garden landscape Scientists...awesome. 😀 👍 👍🏽 👍🏻
love what you’re doing curtis, keep it up

Treasure videos. Thank you so much!!!

LOVE this vid.. inspiring to say the least!
The joke: the popup advertisement is for MacDonalds!
Awesome 🌸
Really want to tour that farm!
They do live near the coast. This means cooler weather....
Would it be possible for a video explaining what hedge rows are and how to use them? I just searched TH-cam with no success.

+Urban Farmer Curtis Stone I don't find an episode 41, did it get named sonething else?
A quick google search of The Urban Farmer podcast gave me this. www.permaculturevoices.com/the-urban-farmer-show/
Great story Curtis. Saw you're adopting no till. How does direct seeding work using no till?

we have bind weed too, it is my bane
Dirtpatcheaven me as well, any tips for managing it? pulling it out would be a full time job.
we set ducks over it and they eat out the roots

Do they use cover crops? How do they manage them, such as killing the crop at the proper time and getting rid of it?
+Britt Arbanas I don't think they do. Their beds looked like they were in production all year round.

+Roderick Camarce not in my context. Don't have the space.
This farm pulls in $105,000 per acre per year.
Do you do any bio integrations on your farm?
Do you think this would work on a small urban farm?
What? I don't understand. Could they have pictures or something.
So the netting is to prevent cabbage worms?
Cool, that's near me.
Great technique video! Would of like it to have been more min depth about predator attraction. But awesome none the less!

Hedge Row!
Thanks
Can someone wright down what they say about bindweeds. Im Not a native speaker
what kind of snakes?
+Paul Mcdermid Only the deadliest.
