Looks good.
Would you talk about your water source? How far away- that sorta thing
During your week~ of overhead irrigation after transplanting, do you drip irrigate also? Or do you wait until after you’re done watering in with overhead. Thanks in advance, you do a great job! Really appreciate the helpful videos
@austinhirsch9286 no I don't drip during that time, just run sprinklers to establish the plants and help avoid transpiration during our hot fall weather.
Hi, hope everything works out well with the storm. I have 5 rows of tomatoes 50 feet long that I need to fertilize. I have one of those Chemilizers, but I have never used it. I am going to try to fertilize my tomatoes with the Chemilizer tomorrow. I have a bag of 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer, but I am not sure how much to mix in 5 gal bucket. How often should I fertilize? The plants are good size and starting to produce fruit.
@rogerhall2123 if it's a 1:100 injector, I'd run 1 lb / gallon of solution and run it every day that'll give you 200 ppm nitrogen.
Berkley Pump is a good pump.
Hope you faired good! We got about 8 inches on our pumpkins and about 15 inches a couple of weeks before
What psi do you prefer running on your air blast sprayer ? Thanks for the great videos
@chadmullen3032 my pressure guage broke a long time ago, (because I kept it pegged out) over 100 psi. So I know that's not the answer you're looking for, but I run all the pressure I can get.
Hello sir, do you have any advice for my situation. I live in central Kentucky and i got 150 seascape strawberries. In spring, they were big and juicy, now they are tiny and unsweet. Irrigation and fertility are there but im just cutting runners. Any advice is appreciated.
@Stoicismisourgreatestteacher if you pick strawberries for 4-6 weeks, that's about as good of a crop as you can ask for. It's time for them to be done
@CherryHillFarm help me understand please. I thought everbearing was supposed to give you a crop thru the whole season, vs getting June bearing for a big crop. I only get about 6 weeks of production with seascape then i rip it?
I was wanting to know if there is a reason that you are using white plastic mulch?
It keeps the bed temps down during our hot months.
Awesome job!
Would you let some one come and coon hunt your farm i got some young dogs id like to put in them corn patches I live about 1hour and a half from you
When do you start running the potassium through the drip?
@samueldalton773 about 2 weeks after transplanting I run calcium nitrate and Epsom salt leading up to that
2 questions # 1 not familiar with growth regulator what is it called # 2 do you sucker your determinant tomatoes or indeterminate
@calebboulds There's as many different growth regulators as there are fungicides. I'm using B9 on these mums and I sucker all tomatoes.
Looks good, haye to hear that aboit the coons getting the sweet corn. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, when date did u record this video? I'd like to know so I can compare your mum growth to ours. Thanks from Northern INDIANA 🇺🇸 ours is 6-7inchs tall Aug 4th.... we fertilize every day ,18oz dry Jack's mum feed, 1/100 setting.... 😊
@@_BJ123 filmed yesterday. Thanks for watching!
Love those mums! Where do you source your pans/ pots?
@@southerntulip799 I order them from mize farm and garden supply
Coons are destructive, I have an off and on problem with them. But when it's on it's gone! Done alot of trapping and running dogs and even got hot wire but they'll travel miles. What size drip tape do you lay under plastic? I've run into a quality issue where mine isn't lasting 6 weeks and you're already fixing holes.
Awesome views💛💛💛💛Very nice sharing, thanks
I’m going to start using Ultrasol, how many gallons of water do you mix per pound of fertilizer though? Approximately. Thank you for your help
@austinhirsch9286 that will depend on what injector you're using and how much you need to irrigate. I use however much water it takes to dissolve (the amount of fertilizer I need) and carry it out the line to the field. Solution volume isn't really critical, only the amount of fertilizer in the solution/ acre. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
We have been spraying Bobex this year to keep deer and rabbits off some of our crops. Lasts about 10 days. Working really well.
I've been growing potatoes and trying different methods to have less weeds. Finally bought a rotary plow, now i can mass produce raised beds and bury my landscape fabric. I have some access to some soggy bottom land but hopefully we'll be able to harness the moisture have a mini eden .
Definitely learning alot from u. I'm an aspiring market farmer. Been doing alot of testing the last couple of years getting ready to start growing larger scale. Hopefully in the next year or 2, I will b starting my first acre of feild for sales. But I take everything u say in stride. The smart ones realize that the info u give is only generalized and we have to do our part to try and figure out what actually works for our climate. I'm in central Canada. So I know I can't grow as early or as late as u. We have diffrent weeds and different climate that affects everything that we do. Though some of the things u do, I've tried on my own stuff. The whole calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate (I think that's right) every other week for each product has been a game changer. I've only just started that schedule and my tomatoes and peppers are growing better than I've ever seen. Can barely walk through the row of tomatoes right now they r so thick and healthy. I am dealing with some cat face and blossom end rot, but that may b the variety of produce I am using. Gonna hit them hard with the calcium nitrate next weekend and see how things progress. Thx for all u do. Keep the videos coming.
Why did you go with white plastic over black?
@@jwilloughby1171 I use white in the summer to keep the soil temps down.
@@CherryHillFarm do you feel like that was an advantage we tried white plastic this year and was not too impressed
@@jwilloughby1171an advantage over black plastic, or over bare ground?
Plastic over bare ground will roughly double your yield on most crops if everything else is the same except the plastic. White plastic is better than black after the weather gets hot. For us, after the middle of May, we switch to white. It seems like Seeds germinate better, and they will get up and going without scalding out. You just don't need the added soil temp from the black in hot weather
Good video buddy, thanks for sharing. The melons comment was funny
We appreciate you for this, although I'm much smaller scale (1/4 ac) and do things in a different fashion, I think what you got going on is top notch and appreciate the informetion
Life would be so much easier if we didn’t have to deal with critters, dealing with deer myself.
How your no till pumpkins coming? We are in eastern North Carolina. We probably had 15 inches of rain in last 14 days ours crop looks rough.
@MikeEdwards-pc4qf it was too dry, now it's way too wet! I'll give a update soon. Thanks for watching!
Electric netting to go around the whole thing. I had to use Electric fence to keep deer out of my beans. So far it is working.
Our company wanna build businesses relationship with u
Could u pls give me your contact ways
Are those 4x4 posts on the end walls to start the frame around your larger door?
@merrittfarms6246 yes. Thanks for watching!
i sprayed these chemicals this early summer and had good weed control but had a very wet and cool june so now while it's heating up, there are weeds rapidly growing. can i spray reflex between rows? waterhemp ragweed and pigweed being the most prolific. or, should i spray 2,4d between rows? will reflex toast pumpkins already emerged? what's crazy is i have winter rye mulch still between rows but apparently the allelopathic effects aren't working for me lol
Definitely don't spray 24d it'll fry your pumpkins. I don't think I'd band reflex either. Best bet is probably banding the row middles with liberty.
Our company is interested in your products
Why don’t you try 1 row using mushroom compost or horse manure and a sprinkling of gypsum, bone meal, and wood ashes. Then feed each plant a small handful of epsom salt once every 2-3 weeks. Chemical fertilizer will never compete with biological organic.
Next, you will be getting a mulch roller that you can lift the plastic with. The higher you can lift the plastic, the more soil and sand it will throw off as you roll if off.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comparison,,,Justin. Am located in the Midwest. We are on about perfect black dirt where we live,which sounds impressive ,,but,,, without fertilzers ,,you simply will not get any vegetables,,we have found. That being said.. what are you thoughts,on,,,say theoretically,,,if you could get like chicken litter delivered to your farm,,from a local chicken growing facility,,, ,all you had to do is broadcast it,,would it be worth it to you,,,or you prefer using the various fertilizers you have used in the past. A couple growing seasons we scored a good supply of rabbit manure,,,and these two years was the best producing years we have ever had,,,we just have two 50 x 50 ft plots,,,for our own use,,,canning. Thanks for the good videos.
@brcisna chicken litter is great fertilizer. It is supposed to be composted and incorporated for food safety, but it works great
Nice trellising. Did you prune 1x or keep going? I'm doing red snapper with a 1x prune around at 2 strings. The 2255, I didn't prune really sucked, not near the tomato sets especially early. The 3rd week of May planting is about 3 weeks from breaking. I'm happy with the fruit setting even in Texas heat with a lot of mainentance for mites, aphids, and stinkbugs. Thanks.
@TwoHappyChildrenFarm I always sucker up to the first flowers but I'm staying too rethink that.
How many horse power your pump?
25
Amen to the battle! Thanks for sharing your processes man we know time is valuable!
Awesome tomatoes 🍅, thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing.
Why do you pick so early into maturity on tomatoes
@calebboulds once a tomato is breaking color, it gains nothing by continuing to hang in the field. The flavor will not improve or change. When picked at "breakers" the fruit is very durable and is easy to handle, wash, grade etc. Also, I can manage how fast they turn red by what temperature i store them at. I can keep them for a week or more in our 50° cooler or ripen them quickly out in ambient temps. From breakers point on, the risk of loss increases daily from Animals, disease, splitting from heavy rain, insects etc.
@@CherryHillFarm noted thank you for the information
good sharing, thank you💛💛💛💛
How do you side dress your corn on plastic?
@@johndeere44301 I run potassium nitrate through the drip irrigation weekly
@@CherryHillFarm thank you
"This is scetchy" but you go up anyway with no safety harness ? Kids need a Daddy.
What's your process for advertising and selling your pumpkins? Do you grow multiple varieties?
@jarradcollins1360 mainly word of mouth over the years. I post on marketplace and that has been a big help also. Yes, I do several sizes and colors. Thanks for watching!
Do you have any issue with mice/rodents chewing your drip tape once laid? Do you use any baits/traps to keep rodent pressure down? Thank you in advance
Every time I’ve worked my hind end off in 100 degrees heat I’ll get it all set up then it goes to raining some hope that works for you
Ironic you posted this video as I have planted pumpkins and only have overhead irrigation for them. Great video! Thanks
