If soil is well tilled in the spring will the E-Ox keep the pathways clear of weeds during the summer.
It can just need to keep up with it mostly. I usually would cultivate twice a week or once a week. And it does a good job if you rotate implements I usually run the tine weeder one day then cultivator teeth one day then sweeps another day.
That rabbit manure is so underrated I use it as well but not a lot of market gardeners do
I love it. I would scale up if I could 😂
Love it, so those frost protection I know you got the green ones on Amazon but where did you get the others?
I have the low cat tunnel hoops from never sink farm. Their ok. Not really recommend them. I also bent some hoops from 1/2” electrical conduit and I love them. Going to Bend more if I ever need them.
I've been growing veggie plants for a long many years and this year I've had a problem with many other plants too 😢
at least out of so many videos this one talks about what my problem has been this year maybe the UV the sun is at it's maximum solar cycle ?(tomato plants do best in mostly shaded places,, I provide shade for as many as I can,, those are the ones that recovered and are doing the best,, and some in shade are still not doing good ??????????????(?) !
I've been thinking more down the line of acidic soil,, seriously suspicious of herbicide,, I've been able to pestering my plants with everything in the book, some have recovered some recovered and then get sick again,, at least I got about 50 to 80 plants that are doing just fine that have recovered and I've had some that didn't even get sick they all were all together,, I've almost used every supplement that people use,, so I'm still losted to the cure and what the cauze is,, those still sick are growing they'll just have to take nature's course from here (unfortunately some just died after they quit growing)
You da man! I'm getting one here in Iowa
My HUGE concern is that the E-Ox is totally dependent on specific batteries to run. What if it gets hard to find those batteries. Tilmor, please make an OX, without the E and with a 5 hp Briggs engine.
They do make a power-ox with a Honda engine. It's a step bigger, has higher clearance, and can take up to a 54" toolbar. If that's right for your context, have at it. I wouldn't call reliance on any one of three common brands of drill batteries a serious concern, though. No more than the risk of a back-ordered engine part or fuel shortage. And if it is still a concern, you can buy a lot of spare batteries for the price jump to buying the power-ox.
I felt that. I'm in zone 6b too. A while bef of tomatoes are infected
TY for sharing the Qlipr system. I'm debating buying some to try. I have watched many vids but have not seen the Qlipr in person to try opening the clip etc. Thanks for the very closeup shot of the clip grippers. The belly to chest length of the bottom of the hook seems important to figure out because I'm 5' 3' so a comfortable reach is important for it to be useful.. I have viewed Farmers friend website as well as Neversink Tools website ; so far they are the only two sites I've seen to purchase Qlipr from.
No problem I was researching it myself and it was hard to get an idea of what everything really looked like so I hope I captured it decently I have learned that I wish I would’ve did just three rows of tomatoes spaced a little bit farther apart (sometimes the cherry tomatoes grow straight out into the aisle and if you’re not careful, you can accidentally bump them and kink the stem on them, but they still will grow. It’s just you gotta be mindful of all sides when squatting and standing up when I have them as close as I do) it is doable, but I’m telling you this now so you don’t have to discover it the way I did lol😅 next time I will try to do it with the double leader system, instead of doing those two rows on the very sides of the tunnel Even though it is working on the sides of the tunnel it’s just a bit harder to lower and lean them but it is working. I also thought I didn’t need the wicket system that goes on the ground that keeps your tomatoes off the ground and I think that would be a good investment for next year for us but if you can swing that I would get those too. I’ll try to cover that on a future video. I’ve just been extremely busy.
@@notaprogardener Here North East our last frost date jis usually May 25-28. Zone 4B, maybe now Zone 5. I found your early planting plan interesting and helpful.I know a farmer in southern VT who has Qlipr system and he says his right-hand gal drops the plants and circles the vines at the base thus NOT lower n leaning NOR the wicket system. I haven't found much data on just how to circle the plant vine when you lower it and raise the plant clip on the Qliper hook. Have you ever tried that? have planted about 200 tomato plants so far in the tunnel. 27 of them are grafted and much bigger and I had to drop the roller hook twine because the grafted plants were too big and heavy for the stick support I started with. The rest were planted end of last week are smaller. So far standing tall with no support .
I like that idea too I might have to try that 🙏 thanks yeah I am hoping to improve everything in the tunnel this next year. Sounds like a great operation and I’m going to be looking into grafting here soon too. Thanks for the info !
How many people help you
Just me unfortunately I would do more videos if time allowed 😅 it’s about to get hectic Thanks for watching!
Glad it’s going good! All my lettuces are bolting. I’m working on getting the back garden ready. Going to put the okra, squash, and climbing beans back there, plus some volunteer tomatoes that are clogging up my front garden.
Thanks! Same here I like that Salanova but I am thinking of just using a romaine heat tolerant variety if the trials are good. That should be very nice I also am thinking of trying sun flowers and pole beans this year 🤞also I like having separate garden plots as well it’s very advantageous. Thanks for watching!
Lots of hard work. Respect !
Hey boss,you dug out the gypsum
Wow, are you sure you're not a pro? It all looks very pro to me!
Thanks so much and I appreciate that you noticed the hard work lol 😅 still lots to learn tho ! Thanks for watching!!!!
Very nice tour and beautiful garden
Thanks so much appreciate it thanks for watching!!
Beautiful garden❤
3:20 why his fingers buggin’ my peeps??!!😅😅
Today is may 3rd 2024 😅 how crazy is that
To make your videos more interesting please put in videos of how the plants came up and how much you harvested.
Most of my videos run in a story line and the next videos usually have some video or rid bits included. It’s like a weekly vlog which is what I do with my channel. Thanks for the input ! And thanks for watching!
where did you purchase the Qlipr trellis system components? Excited to follow along.
Farmers friend. And I’m liking it so far I’ll do a update video on it soon comparing it to other systems to see what the pros and cons are. And things I’ve learned Thanks for watching!
You in 6b well to early ground temp is 43 degrees
It’s a bummer about that disease. I got something last spring that affected my artichokes, tomatoes and cucumbers. It killed 3/4 of the artichokes, and about half the tomatoes. I still don’t know what it was.
oh boy that’s rough Yeah I think it was a kind of fungus maybe. I sprayed a peroxide deluted with water and it kept all of them from dying from it. Thankfully lol 😅
Oh hon. Don’t let the trolls get under your skin. People will make negative comments because they’re sad and lonely and bored. It honestly doesn’t have anything to do with you. Just imagine how pathetic their life has to be to take the time to write a paragraph about something they know absolutely nothing about. All you can do is bless their hearts. Because they’re so sad and pathetic.
Looks useful for preparing a seed bed or incorporating soil amendments Looks like you need to till in a few bales of peat moss to get more oxygen/moisture retention in the soil 🤘 I meant 'could use' more than 'need to' 😂
Yeah it’s doing what I was hoping it actually throws weeds belly up which is a awesome plus I found. Yea lol I’m hoping to make my own compost soon for the coming future !
I've found that as long as plants are covered, they can take a LOT. BTW...."Now 7A" is nuts. Don't follow that if you want to succeed.
Thanks lol 😂 these tomato plants are thriving love it!
I started mine early indoors last week, stuck them. In polly tunnel and they wilted bad after a cold night 😢
We have a long process that some of our videos cover I do 4 weeks indoors on tomatoes. Including a week of acclimation process Then 3-4 weeks in a greenhouse Before I planted in the high tunnel I amended bed and tilthed it. Then covered it with the weed fabric. The black fabric heated up the soil ahead of time with the doors closed. And then dug the holes where I was planting tomatoes to further heat up the soil. Once the soil inside reached a certain temperature 50° I planted them now we had a 24° night. The soil temp is high enough to keep the inside of the high tunnel warm so at the 24° night inside the tunnel was 35°. It didn’t get no lower, so it was a big success. The key was letting the ground heat up ahead of time.
@@notaprogardener I'm new to all this and any tips is a massive bonus, just trying to grow my own to keep my head above water with the food bills, so when a crop fails it hits pretty hard
What's the brass siphon?
The Brass Siphon Mixer is a time-tested device for accurately proportioning fertilizer, pesticide and fungicide into your plant watering system. Works great in greenhouses and grow rooms. Thanks for watching!
32 degrees! that's balmy hot
Cool setup
Nice work,, ill be watching for updates!
The last 3 years I started my tomatoes early and they had to be covered at least twice so I waited till March this year. They’ll be fine.
A birdbath with rocks in it so they can land and not drown. I also used a cat or dog automatic waterer,you know the kind you turn the tank upside down and it glugs when the water flows out, also with rocks for them to land in. I guess you could use vermiculite cause they seem to like it.
Awesome thanks I’ll get them something going 😊
Btw you got a new subscriber! Quick last question, if you're a baseball fan what is your favorite team?! ⚾️ Choose wisely... 🤨 better not be a team who's mascot is a young hairy 4 legged forest dweller who hibernates and steals picnic baskets.. 🤨 Unless you dont care for baseball then non worries friend! 😅
Awesome happy to have you! And I actually don’t watch any sports. Lol 😂 Thanks for watching!
I thought i recognized the scenery! Some of my family lives over in Southern Illinois! AKA little Egypt! Grandparents lived in Olive Branch(if you know where that is/pretty tiny town), my dad grew up in Herrin(another tiny spot on the map) also went to SIU for a few semesters before moving out to California and eventually started a family. So that's where I live for now lol but ive been to SI plenty of times i know the place as well as where i live here in CA(prolly cause the towns there are few and far between! Lol). Cario, Carbondale, Marion, Crab Orchard Lake etc. Been all around that tri-state area too Cape Girardeau, Missouri and Paducah, Kentucky. Id move there if there were more jobs to apply for yet sadly most people move away from the rural midwest for work(example-my father) ANYWAYS... enough of my blabbering, i apologize its just awesome to here your from Southern Illinois! Careful with the frost it can be sneaky this time of year!
Thanks lol yeah I have had rouge frosts for the last 3 years it always gets me lol but I’m prepared for it this time!! Thanks for watching!
one thing you might try next time for the no dig : Put cardboard down on the row area thick then use layers of leaves and grass clippings with you compost. Cardboard smothers the weeds/grass and then you get the break down of the other materials as well. Just my 2 cents worth.
Thanks a bunch I tried something new with a risk. Lol. But I weeded it once and now it’s gone. Maybe lol it hasn’t crept up since so hopefully it worked if it did then I’m happy and if not I learned a lesson. 😆 Thanks for watching
Funny, they changed me from 6b to 7a also. I just planted out some onion, lettuce, and pak Choi seedlings yesterday. I planted some spinach and cold hardy lettuces under cover in November or December and I’m almost ready to harvest some. All of the buds are already breaking around here. Hopefully it’s not a false spring. What usually happens is I get everything planted out beautifully, then there’s at least 2-3 more frosts and I either loose stuff, or cover everything up with sheets and blankets. I’m waiting this year and it’ll probably be the year I should have started early. Either way it’s fun and if I get to eat something even better!
Same lol I always try to put stuff out early and have to get a cover the plants operation a few times 😂 But it’s all fun hopefully it all works out.🤞
Great 👍
We live in Mt. Home area Zone 6b ...what's your zone and are you in high elevation
We are in southern Illinois was zone 6b. But now 7a since the usda updated the map. We are around 600ft I believe. Thanks for watching!
Looks good. What zone are you in? I might try to build a little greenhouse like yours.
Was zone 6b now 7a Thanks! I’m about to install a beeswax piston operated window in the back for the hot days. This greenhouse has done me good. There are a few other videos on it in my greenhouse playlist if you want to see how it’s done performance wise. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great jobs sharing all your experiences. Seems like a great product but way overkill for my needs. The wire fork attachment looks awesome. I'm thinking of making something lighter duty, like a manual wheel hoe with some ebike powered wheels or a drill motor. For now I will stick to pushing.
That would be awesome If you get it going I’d love to see it in action! Thanks for watching!
I found your channel on a random you tube recommendation and I like the concept and what you are going for here. One tip I have is not garden related, but either lose the sunglasses or choose a non-mirrored type. Watching your camera bounce around in teh reflection is a bit distracting. Good luck with your channel and your farmers market venture.
Will do! Glad you liked it thanks for watching!!!
I’m pretty sure I am pretty close to you over here in southeast Missouri, and until a couple days ago I had a beautiful crop of Asian greens growing. I topped all the larger plants and covered a bunch with tubs, but I doubt many will make it through this arctic blast. It was a couple packets of dollar general micro greens so I’m not loosing much money and it was a fun experiment. Stir fries and salads into January is amazing to me. I also dug up and brought in a dozen or so lettuces. The oak leaf and burgundy lettuces did really well in the cold. Seems like the little Asian cabbages like Pok Choi, or maybe they are mustards, I’m not sure but they do really well in the cold. I planted spinaches right after thanksgiving and they’re tiny. They probably won’t make it either but we’ll see. Good luck.
That’s awesome and it’s definitely cold 🥶 too cold to be outside😅 thanks so much I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
What about position

Enjoy my Hoss planter. Use it mostly for the smaller seeds. Selden change the planter plates. Use aan Earthway hooked behind the garden tractors for larger seeds. Plant about eight hundred linear feet of beets to sell, all planted in no time with the Hoss seeder. I added the brackets to angle the handles off center, better than trying to walk like a duck.
Holy moly. I hope to be able to farm like that in 3 years for market. That’s awesome. It is a very nice I love using it for corn and carrot seed. This next year, I’m going to be using it for a lot more crops for market. And that will be a nice addition I will make some offset brackets eventually 😅
😂
