First off, this video was a challenge to film and edit, it was all done out of order. Luckily, it came together ok, but the FINAL CUT software for some reason decided to insert the growing your greens logo for a second or two at various times during this episode. This was NOT planned NOR intentional. I strive to ensure this does not happen in the future. For those of you that find this content valuable, I hope you will still watch the video. My entire intention with this episode was to help farmers that may be in a hurricane zone implement techniques to become more resilient as well as help encourage economic growth for Puerto Rico. I hope I have successes in my mission aside from the flashing logo and any comments I have made in this episode that you may find offensive. Please understand all my videos are 100% impromptu and I never know what I'm going to say until I say it, and tend to be more "unfiltered" that I should in some instances. I'm only human and I'm not perfect., but strive to improve.
Logo flash is minimal, hardly noticed, no worries. Thanks for sharing this info.
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens ❤️❤️❤️ no worries - at all!
Subliminal messaging 😵 haha I was definitely wondering about it but it certainly didn't lessen the validity of the information you provided! Great video!
John, Did you ever purchase land in PR? I saw your videos last year and have visited three times since and met with Juan. I plan to visit again in three weeks and hopefully purchase a small plot for a cacao farm. I wanted to do the ten minute call but see that's not an option now.
I'm so happy to see you again in Puerto Rico, you are the reason I have so many tropical perrenials! I live in Yabucoa, P.R. even though I lost many trees I have noticed regrowth of of much of what was lost .. I have moringa, malabar spinach, longevity spinach, egyptian spinach, loquat, cacao, breadfruit tree, everglade tomato, coffee, plantain, lemon trees,surinam cherry, passion fruit, granada,grocella, cranberry hibicus, I use the leaves for salads,and I also have a few other that I don't recall right now..much was lost, but I am happy with what is returnig and still learning what to grow to be able to "eat my greens" like the"Maestro" John Choler has taught me and many others..I wish you could stay here for a while to teach us, how to be sustainable..especially in our changing climate...your Friend even though we have never met.
I took it as technical difficulties. Nothing more! You do a great job John! Thank you for what you do!
I heard that Puerto Rico is an island... surrounded by water.... big water.... ocean water!! Amazing!!
Great video. Thanks for putting a PUERTO RICAN on the spotlight to show case his hard work. I can’t wait for more PUERTO RICANS on the “main-land” to realized the opportunities that back home has in store for us.

Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens WOW
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to share this important knowledge. God bless you, Juan and his family. Que viva Puerto Rico!
Lot's of great information John! I would love to farm in Puerto Rico...
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "growing organic food" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Nonannah Hanulian Future - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
Excellent! Growing your own food rocks!
Great update on the farm and how it weathered the storm. And the planting tips as well.
Very interesting proposition to start a farm there. thanks
TU#185 John this is an excellent video. My husband and I enjoyed every second of it. Very informative, thank you..
this is amazing. my mind is blown. thank you so much for sharing with such detail. saving, sharing with husband, rewatching, and subscribing!!
Awesome 👌tutorial information on how to use everything on your farm and in your garden. Thank you for sharing 🙏this wonderful teaching video on taking care of the land.
Excellent instructive video!
thanks for doing this episode.
Really appreciate your passion and dedication. Thank you for all the great videos and very helpful information. I hope people hear your heart and stop being so critical.
I'M "ROTTING" HERE IN NYC.....TO EXPENSIVE!! GOING BACK TO MY ISLAND TO SEE WHAT KIND OF "LITTLE FARM" I CAN START!! THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!
One of the best uses I have seen used for hillsides is turning it into pasture then running goats or other domesticated animals that dont mind the hills and rugged terrain as much.
Excellent video, I’m happy to hear Juan’s doing good and thanks for sharing the innovative ways which Juan used to deal with the effects of the hurricane and grow sustained crops. My wife and I are enthusiastically going on an organic cacao farm tour in Puna Hi. In a few weeks... that advertises to tourists thru Airbnb and Vrbo. Perhaps the people of Puerto Rico can charge American tourists for farm tours as a way to provide more income for themselves. Please keep the videos coming.😃🌈🤙
Nice video
That is my Goal to but a small mountain home/ Farm in PR
Get any closer??

You mention a lot of good ideas, when it comes to farming. Keep up the good work informing us, how to take care of farms. Thank you for doing this.
Why would someone dislike this video
Wait.... are you flashing your website in & out on a title card throughout the presentation? I know I saw it at 7:24 but could swear I keep seeing it....
Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water.....big water.....ocean water & thanks to me handing out paper towels the island is doing tremendous believe me folks!
The FBI arrested the corrupt democrat mayor and her buddies, for playing politics with people's lives. They found multiple warehouses filled with aid supplies from the US, locked up and rotting in the hot sun, held back from the starving public. All for the purpose of trying to make our President look bad. May they all ROT in jail for their corruption, which permeates the whole island.
It's no surprise there were already in massive debt before the hurricane, as their politicians were all on the take, hoping the US would bail them out while they lined their pockets. www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/10/17/san-juan-municipal-government-fbi-raid/1668745002/
Stop the negative comments...
ROFL😂
I don't like Cheeto at all anymore than NObama or any other Globalist puppet but this is funny.
standing dead trees provide habitat for integral species and increases biodiversity, dont leave up your widow makers but keep this in mind
getting subliminal flashes good video
+1
i love puerto rico :D
my wife has family there
one of these days the tattooedhomestead.com will have a space there :P
with an apiary and all sorts of plants :P
💕🇵🇷🌺💕🇵🇷🌺
1st
But the people are farming more on the lands
Flashing logo is really distracting
Some kind of anomaly with the video editing software. Hopefully it will not happen again.
The logo isn't distracting, but in the middle of the video there are dicks and vaginas flashing - that's quite distracting!
There’s going to be changes brother the people have spoken America will no longer develop the island
What happened I missed it
What's up with the flashing logo? Are you trying to sending a subliminal message like buying your tee shirt from compassion tees? Because I'm not going to buy a tee shirt from compassion tees. I'm not going to compassion-tees.com to buy one of your shirts. I'm not checking to see if they have a GYG tee in my size. I'm not placing an order and waiting.
Dang it! They don't have my size in stock!
Love your videos. I have learned soooooo much but I have to agree that the flashing background is very distracting. Please don't do this in the future.
Thank you Juan. Will be checking you out when I go to the Island next year. "I'M A "CHOCOHOLIC"!!!!!
John, you shouldn't pronounce the 'h' in 'hacienda'.
Whats the deal with all the subliminal messages embedded in this video? I just subscribed but Im starting to think this guy is a bit too creepy.
No he is a Great teacher... please look at his other videos,he is THE reason many of us have anything in our gardens.
Why is he embedding subliminal messages in his videos? You haven't addressed my concerns. I just find it a bit creepy when people are trying to brainwash me
At the beginning of the comments he apologized for the logo glitch. It was not intended to be like that.
Read; focus on the good; listen; learn.
right , right , right , right , ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , stupid California right , grrrrrrr!
What a load of Bollocks......
Not Sure how this is Bollocks. This farm had to recover from hurricane Maria, and learned how to do it better. This video is here to help other farms in Hurricane prone area to do it better before a hurricane hits.
@ J H , atleast if you want to correct him about something then address it properly.
Dude. It is clear you've never lived in a state that has hurricanes. Love some of your videos but not this one.
While I like the idea of telling stories of agricultural innovation in the midst of hardship, I think you should take care when describing the aftermath of tragedies that result in devastating losses of human life not to come off as tone-deaf in your remarks. I know that is not where you're intending to come from, but it's a bit awkward to say things like "I can't even tell a hurricane happened, the beaches look great." I think in this case it would have been better to hear from the farmers themselves, maybe with an interview (which you do do sometimes on your channel).
I apologize if anyone was offended by my description in this episode. Please understand all my videos are "off the cuff" impromptu and I say what comes to my mind. Most of the times its fairly good, but in this case, I could have improved. Please understand Im only human and not perfect and trying to make a video impromptu on the fly is not the easiest thing to do. I strive to only improve in the future when dealing with sensitive topics. My goal for this episode is to help people that may be prone to hurricane to implement strategies that may help them to weather the storm more effectively.
@@growingyourgreens Yeah totally, I understand.
I think that was a nice thing to say. After all the news, good, bad, true and lies that were told about how PR is getting back on their feet it’s great to hear it looks so good you can’t even tell there was a big hurricane. Glad to hear the island is back to its beauty.
there isn't anyone in the comments who watched all 57 minutes of this. you are yelling at the camera, bro, and you are talking way too much. I think you could have put all this content in a 10 munute video
