Where did you buy tape sealers??

Great vids. Always learn something.

Guess compost, hay or straw for mulch isn't ideal

How do you get transplants that big in a week

What do you mean by, "no trimming until they hit the top"? I mean what trimming do you do when they hit the top? Also, do you have a video of the process of lean and lower?

i am a newbee. you mentioned a stage 1 tractor. what are the stages? I am considering a ford 2000 tractor for the 5 acres I bought. I am very glad you made this video. what type of attachments do I need for a ford 2000 or would most generic ones work? thanks

Thanks

Do you cultivate between or just let the sunflowers shade out the weeds ?

Thank you so much your video is excellent you saved me about $350 I did exactly what you did now my AC works great 👍👍👍😃

How much micro-plastic from the weed fabric in the veg, ever tested, thanks.

My GE is now showing that E8 after 3yrs of over 100 digit temp in Vegas, and it's already showing this in June😢 I'm going to try your method before buying another one which has to cost the same or less than a repairman visit thanks!

May sound like a dumb question but…is this from the inside portion of the window unit or the outside? Not sure my unit gives me access to the coils quite as easily as yours does. Don’t really want to take it apart

Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. This is the way. I just did this to my Frigidaire 28k BTU air conditioner. It was a royal pain removing it from the wall but as soon as I saw the condition of the rear coil? Yeah. It needed cleaned. After cleaning & re-install, no more 'E8' error codes. Kudos!

Thank you Farer Keith, you saved me from buying a new AC unit.

Super helpful video. Great setup brother

It is help for every brand of conditioners? I imagine it's all the same problem!

I realize this is a 2 year old video, but just wanted to say thanks! Just got two units working top notch again. Even cut the shroud off one of them, and wouldn't have thought to do that without your help. You're the best!

Thanks. 😀

Hey, does it matter what time of day to spray if directly on plants? TIA.

This was very useful to me. Thank you.

We are in Southeast Arizona, elevation just below 4000 ft, our highs have been 104 on average and lows in the low 60s just recently pulled out of the 50s. We had a 50 degree swing about a week ago or so, lots of extreme swings here in spring and fall. We use 50% shade over our high tunnels with the altitude and heat factor and so far tomatoes are growing great and producing well. First time trying to grow lettuce and spinach all summer, in a tunnel, under shade, so far so good no bitter or bolting yet and we have taken two cuttings from the spinach so far, harvesting only outer leaves from lettuce instead of cutting as we have limited tunnels space and want to see how much we can get out of this crop. We shall see how it goes, growing two different varieties of spinach to see how they do, so far so good on both. Thanks for the videos 👍🏼 always great info

Still selling starts. Blue Butterfly Pea, Moringa and Lemongrass sell well consistently. Red Robin and Rosy Finch tomato plants in 6" pots and hanging baskets do welĺ. Many people want hotter peppers than ive been growing. Variety is key. About to start more peppers, high temp tomatoes and herbs. Only been growing 2 years and loving it. Getting better at it everyday. Still kill stuff. Live and learn. Great vids.

Good stuff Farmer Keith. Back yard gardener here in Iowa Zone 5a, but the process is the same: know your market. The wife (my market) finally convinced me we don't need so many tomatoes and greens because our freezers are full. So this year, just a few plants, easier to manage, & room for more stuff if we want it. Eggplant, for example. Any suggestions on keeping the flea beetles in check? I notice that you use plastic fabric. I mulch everything with shredded leaves to retain moisture and feed the soil. Maybe beetles hide in the mulch? I don't know. This year I'm not playing around. I'm dusting the eggplant leaves with Sevin. Not organic, I know, but whatever works...

Always good stuff ..

Thanks for confirming I'm already doing the right thing in this upper 90s heatwave we're having in early June. I'm only growing tomatoes this year but not using shade cloth and my plants are all in 5 gallon buckets because I'm 72 and can't get low to the ground anylonger. I have tall trees on the West side of my property and shade occurs by 2pm were my buckets are located. The plants get exactly six hours full Sun. They avoid that blistering relentless Sun of middle afternoon. I water deep hour before daylight. Unfortunately night temperatures aren't below 70 degrees so I'll have to see how successful my plan is. I may have all the blooms I'm going to get this year already and I'll top the indeterminate plants to focus instead on developing fruits already present. I'll replant middle August for Fall Tomatoes. Last year my Fall Tomato production was far superior to my Spring attempt. I still had Tomatoes at Thanksgiving. I enjoyed your video. Good luck with your crops in this punishing heat. Stay hydrated yourself out there!

@6:04 absolutely, because you need irrigation just like the plants💦🌱Good info👍🏾

It's less hot temperature wise here in South Carolina, but our humidity makes it feel like a good 110 degrees outside. It is 100% impossible to grow lettuce in the summer here no matter what you do.

How do you get on with leaf burn watering in the sun? What are your thoughts on lowering humidity but maintain heat in a greenhouse? We are around 80% RH unless it's raining, cloud cover and temp I often find to be an issue. On the colder days the warmer crops like chili and, toms and cucumbers suffer if I open it up. I water first thing, vent when temp allows at least for a bit midday, small solar fans are extracting most of the day. Any ideas would be mint. Bottom of NZ 46 deg south

How long do commercial greens last after gasing, radiating with cobalt, and storing in nitrogen cold storage?

We had a hot one yesterday water is flowing

Thank you for sharing this video. Please, I have one question regarding the tractor on which you operated the mulch layer. How many hp is it? Thank you.

what does it mean when it says cultivating? is that weeding and fertilising?

Great stuff

That was awesome!

Sir per kg price?

Your farm is beautiful

I never can really sell very many tomatoes at my market either. We get a lot of seasonal gardeners who grow nothing but tomatoes so it floods the market. I'm debating starting to grow them in a greenhouse using grow slabs in the winter here. I may give it a go this year. Unfortunately, lettuce does not grow here past May as it is too humid and the insect pressure is insane. I think the only solution would be a temperature regulated NFT system, and that's quite expensive. I'm taking this summer off there is so much saturation at the market I am at on account of the spring gardeners. They have tables full of beans, squash, cucumbers, corn, etc. and they all sell way cheaper than they should because they do not do it for a living. I'm doing research and trying to decide where my niche can be in the summer markets. Keith is correct about knowing your market. I crush it in fall and spring though! Nobody is buying Kale at my market anymore either. The in product is now Bok Choy. I grew Asian Delight this year and people could not get enough. I sold about $800 dollars worth of Bok Choy alone this spring.

That Arkenburg trellis looks nice. I'm gunna try it with my 2nd round of toms.

First year I've gotten to point where two 6ft strawberries patches weed free and producing. Next problem is the strawberries decent size taste great but, are missfigured. Read missfigured might be frost, boron, or poor pollination. Complicated. Start my spinach in fridge in February and gives massive easy yield. However at end of May it's done and goes to seed. Bought parts for a mist sprayer system to turn on above 60f complicated and dropped the ball.

Thank you! Personally, I appreciate this type of video. Fast, yet informative and detailed.

I agree with @stevehatcher3228 I built one 7 years ago and the second sensor on the coil to kill the compressor and let the fan de-ice the coil is needed. Coolbot has the same feature and I copied it when I made my close. I got a video on my page of my setup but use a JCI freeze sensor, but either works as long as you can sense the coil freezing. If not it will over work and trip the breaker. Doing the second sensor will avoid the temperature step cooling you are doing now.

These are what I would call scallions. They are also known as spring onions, green onions and more. They are all of the same family and all have underdeveloped bulbs and the different names tend to be specific to different areas and dialects. It is not wrong to call them by their locally recognised name, so please do not think that I am "getting at" you, far from it. Just a note for information 😊.

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !

What’s the spacing on the rows ? And how long are your rows ? Is the BCS mulch machine good enough for a small production ? About 1 acre or less.

That’s a great tip ! Thanks for sharing ! Have you considered using solar thermal to heat up the hoop house ?

Wow ! Thank god you had those auto door openers. 👍

Interesting. Crops look great. To sit on button and weed a 1ft high 80ft x 4ft potatoes with short hoe blade, takes 45min. Sharpen hoe blade with grinder and stone makes weeding lot easier. Like weed block for around outside of beds since weed wacking around wire fence is nightmare .Trying the double sided b/w fabric.

Yup you are the man!

I had that happen last year, on the way home I remembered I had forgot to open the greenhouse before the market. I lost hundreds of lbs of tomatoes. Didn't kill the plants but boiled the tomatoes. Felt sick to my stomach on the way home thinking how bad it was going to be.

If you organically grow will that hurt the soil microbiology??
