Person makes that face... Me: "Can you compost my enemies?" Person makes that face... Me: "I have tobacco." Person makes that face with double the enthusiasm.
Thank you for just having like a straight-up comprehensive video. The other people I watch I have crazy plans and they act like if you deviate from them you'll never get anything growing and it's kind of whack
I hope to be the Tobacco Queen!! Great advice... I don't smoke but you never know when some Tobacco may come in handy. I believe it makes a pretty good ala-natural insecticide. I ordered the booklet to learn more. Liked!
SHTF is almost here. Got my tobacco seeds in Florida yesterday. Thanks for reminding me to protect my crop from addicts. Initially was going to let them in on it to screw the govt. out of tax revenue. You have possibly saved my life.....lol😊

thankyou! I had just recieved my tobacco seeds from" Aliexpress ", and was wondering how to grow..My dear husband smokes a little but the costs of cigarettes is sky high in Puerto Rico, like everything else...and getting worse by the second, but that is another story. I am now the proud owner of two of your E-books on my Kindle! (grow or die: the good guide to survival) and ( the survival gardeners guide to growing tobacco, barter,...) anyway I love your videos first for your sense of humor, second with things getting so expensive, you have helped me be more self sustainable here in the tropics, say hi to your lovely wife, and again thank you.
use jiffy-trays with a removeable poly lid. then spray with a mister bottle. when plants are about the size of a quarter trans-plant them to bigger cups. then feed with a dilute fertilizer solution from a mister bottle. no more hassles growing tobacco....
This knowledge even if you don't smoke means you could grow it & use it for trading if SHTF. =) Great info David... After this, make sure you do the growing, drying & such. LoL 🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
you can turn it into medicine if you know how medicine works. Smoking anything period causes toxifying of the body, so if permanent detoxification of tobacco tar is your goal, you'll just have to find somehow to make the tobacco medicine formula from someone who knows how to ferment the tobacco juice and put about a tsp of it in a drink or like a shot every day for about 9 months. just keep doing a tsp a day for 9 months.
Tobacco farmers put anti fungus spray on their crops plus bug spray and other chemicals. I use to help my grandpa grow tobacco. He grew 200 acres of tobacco but he grew his without using chemicals.
I absolutely love your videos and books! Do you have a video you can link me to about seed starting in general? I'd love to see information that takes me all the way through the process - from seed in the dirt to transplanted outside. Especially for some of the more difficult type seeds like sea buckthorn or hops. I have decent luck germinating overall, but my seedlings always seem to die before they go outside, or the ones that live never grow and don't do much but stay tiny. Thanks for all you do and keep up the fantastic work!
you're too much fun to watch.! I tried 2 months ago to sprout a round of my virginia tobacco seeds, total bust! Im going to try it again like you did! thanks:)
Well I don’t smoke but I am considering growing tobacco for another reason. Ticks hate tobacco so growing it where you don’t want them to be is ideal. They also repel parasites so much so that birds will make nests with the plant after it dies. Turning it into fibrous strips helps the birds out and if you have chickens or other animals, they can benefit from this for their bedding.
Do you have any suggestions on types of tobacco that germinate easier?... and can all tobacco plants be used for rolling, pipes, chewing, and snuff? Thanks in advance for your input. I’m really excited to start doing this.
Sorry nobody replied sooner, but the type of tobacco depends on what flavor you want. Not any tobacco is a good smoking tobacco, etc. research what kind of tobacco you like for your purpose
Lol tobacco king.i always sprout tobacco seeds in hot totally dark room ,when sprouted less than a 1/2 inch then light, man my previous Virginia plants gave me so many pods with seeds. yeah one pad holds about 4000 seeds at least
Growing tobacco is like growing celery! Need to be sown on the surface and misted regularly so the seeds don't dry out :) Guess I could grow tobacco too lol
what better teacher for teaching tobacco than david the good! i've watched your other vids before and i just decided today i would search up tobacco and your channel came up! and thanks for your input too lol 👍 have you tried making tobacco kake? fermenting? etc?
Shhhh. You just revealed my plans of world dominance. PS. thanks for the tip , ill be using it and you are right well cured home grown tobacco is much better than the commercial one.Im growing 4 different types because i mostly make ciggars.
I heard we are not supposed to cover them... why would that matter? I like the greenhouse effect with the plastic. One question: I'm in Seattle area and my germination failed a month ago so I finally get to it mid June... we have late summer so I'm okay with this and the only time I grew some I grew huge Hungarian Broadleaf and soso Connecticut Shade.... Both prevailed under an Evergreen Tree till Sept... I was blown away... It gets cold and dewy at night till 6am so if I keep them outside in a shady area and bring them in at night where its warm in the shop, shouldnt work great? Thanks bud... oh and you are super funny man... shared
ahh a bit wrong on that last part about in bad times you could be the tobacco king because people would just make you their slave to grow and teach people to do it. But growing it for the sake of less chemicals and stuff in what we smoke is why I am looking into doing this.
where do you buy your seeds. does anyone have info on taste of the different types of tobacco. sorry, I got caught up in questions. I liked your video and look forward to the continuing saga. lol. Thank you for any help.
I think people give a longer time for germination because it is unpredictable to an extent. I've tried growing most seeds I can get and have had interesting results when it comes to germination, sometimes it's fast and happens over night, other times it takes so long that you give up. Years ago I tossed the soil and seed I had trying to grow after not popping up for weeks, just to discover the plant growing in the garbage can a week after tossing (so around a month for that particular seed even tho I've had seeds from the same plant germinate or sprout overnight and within days)
Hi David, i am in a bit of a predicament as i want to plant a little patch of tobacco in my yard next year. I have 2 possible areas where i can do this. The first area is constantly exposed to full sunlight which scorches the ground, as well as there being literal tons of coal on the soil over the years and its completely black and quite hard soil. The next spot is under some fruit trees, constantly covered by the trees and has very little sunlight over the day, the soil being soft-ish and suitable for planting. I know that both of the locations arent ideal so i would like to ask you where would it be better to plant it?
You're right, i forgot i could try and do that. The sun is extremely intense there though, i could even say scorching, wouldnt it kind of fry my plants if i put them there? I am also wondering which type of soil would be good, every video on growing tobacco i've seen notes to use a branded soil such as miracle grow, however i do not live in the us and i dont have a very big choice of soil and the soil i have in the yard is not particularly good for plants, so i would appreciate if you could write me up a rough description of what soil i should use. I was wondering too, is it really worth growing 3 different types of tobacco for cigars? My problem with it is that i have to order 3 different types of seeds and there always ends up being leftovers. Thanks for the help and the fast reply
@@igorpadurjan5714 add a couple more raised beds in front with some shading plants or build a trellis with climbers. the answer is always more plants! lol
Ahh. so it's gonna be a pain in the a** like strawberrys lol, a Pain to get started but then takes over the yard within a few years. I shouldn't say the starting is much of an issue, my problem with strawberrys is the sprouts when they first pop up. They are so small that a drop of water knocks them over lol. It's Probably a good candidate for bottom feeding though, (putting water in the dish underneath the pot that typically catches any run off and letting the soil soak up the water from the bottom)
Works like germinating carrots. Tobacco can be planted as a trap crop near crops that are attacked by many types of plant eater bugs. A liquid like compost tea can be made into a repellent but I don't remember a repellent for what (deer, mice?). I would probably apply it wrong and end up with no garden. The yen and yang of it all. Where do you live now?
can you make a video about how to compost your enemies please
Lol wood chipper, topsoil, worm casings, and lots of privacy 🤣
feed them to the pigs (if you have any)
Pigs you use pigs... 😂
Embalm them in Gatorade and keep them in the office as a warning to other would-be enemies.
Cinnamon works great
Person makes that face... Me: "Can you compost my enemies?" Person makes that face... Me: "I have tobacco." Person makes that face with double the enthusiasm.

Hey , I want in ! Lol do you sell any seeds ?? Where can I get seeds ? Or what kind should I look for ? Thanks :)
I hope to be the Tobacco Queen!! Great advice... I don't smoke but you never know when some Tobacco may come in handy.
I believe it makes a pretty good ala-natural insecticide. I ordered the booklet to learn more. Liked!
Thank you, Stacey.
Are u The Tabacco Queen yet?
Also perfect for insect bites and bee/wasp/hornet stings
@@purpled4864 Could you please tell a bit more about tobacco for insect bites/stings?
I see tobacco seeds as useful for being prepared in case of fundamental changes to society, homemade tobacco might come in handy for bartering
Your my typa guy man growin tobacco and potatoes and everything I have the same idea good luck with all of it my dude

I've been having trouble getting mine to sprout, now I know where I've gone wrong. Thanks. Aloha
Very glad I could help.
This was a great video!
jeb in the house!
I failed trying to plant tabacco...very helpful and informative vid thanks!
Tobacco leaves will be money when everything collapses. Or cigars. Maybe. Or shells.
I di3d laughing at the end lol Masta had me working working all day just one more puff and the cravings govaway
Dude.. I laughed way too hard at the face of the tobacco user "Jones'n" haha cracks me UP
Got three varieties. Cheers from Alaska

I love your encouragement and your humor. Thanks.
Holy cow.. i moved to Germany too and bought some seeds to grow my own tobocco and i wanted some tipps and i am here. Cool.
I'm working toward Tobacco king. Thanks, David.
I just got 300 seeds online for $15 figured I’d give it a try as I could make some fine cigars with it, let’s hope for the best!
"Like you put spices on a...cake"
That's weird dude. Should've said something normal like putting frosting on a fried chicken
The Tobacco king is here🐐
You make me Florida proud! Strong work
I've been inspired to grow something else by you,and I don't even smoke,wish I knew you when you lived in tn,seem like a cool dude
Cracked me up the rabbit impersonation, slaving the tobacco addicts😂😂😂 thank you❤✌

Good idea bud. The wrap I mean.
Hehehe you made me laugh. Love your channel. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Thanks for the video and the laugh!
I have some Massachusetts wrapper tobacco to grow this year. Thank you for the starting tip. Going to start mine six weeks before the last frost.
You are very welcome. Have fun - sounds like a great variety.
It also discourages bugs etc so anti mozzie whilst growing as well.
I like your thinking sir, great stuff.
love the outro lmao
Lol tobacco king.i always sprout tobacco seeds in hot totally dark room ,when sprouted less than a 1/2 inch then light, man my previous Virginia plants gave me so many pods with seeds. yeah one pad holds about 4000 seeds at least
Thanks man! Planting some today , I love tobacco too but not the store kind very much
Looking at his eyes, me thinks he maybe partial to the odd Jamaican woodbine,,great video man!👍😂
Growing tobacco is like growing celery! Need to be sown on the surface and misted regularly so the seeds don't dry out :) Guess I could grow tobacco too lol
Tobacco is also a great pesticide, WHOMP WHOMP!!!
I just got some amber leaf seeds am try to grow them this summer in England
Thank you so much! This video is very helpful. You seem educated and very approachable. Keep doing these videos :)
Sent me to the tabaca seeds Azerbaijan Republic territory
4:41 wat? AHAHAH fallout in a nutshell , but great vid
What a precious guy lololol
How does that song go....?
I think I love you ....
😂😂tobacco king I love it
I must become the Tobacco King
compost my enemies...subbed...
Welcome
what better teacher for teaching tobacco than david the good!
i've watched your other vids before and i just decided today i would search up tobacco and your channel came up!
and thanks for your input too lol 👍
have you tried making tobacco kake?
fermenting?
etc?
I have dried it slowly and sun-dried it, I have also packed it in jars to ferment. Still experimenting.
What do you think about using the plastic dome that comes with a planting kit?
Lol at the tobacco slaves and doomsday :D
Im trying to grow them for My dad now, first time. Thanks for the tips. :)
Bro you're an f-ing genius
Thank you.
There’s a brand of smoke in Australia called Port Royal . I wonder what type of seeds they are . The best taste.
Nice info. I give it 5 spicy cakes out of 5
Compost my enemies for me ??!!
😆
I just subscribed
Omg David G. you totally unrolled that saran wrap wrong!
- Saran wrap expert
That's hilarious.
Subscribed. Funny and informative
Welcome
Thanks.
I recognize that end song!! Love him!
Shhhh. You just revealed my plans of world dominance.
PS. thanks for the tip , ill be using it and you are right well cured home grown tobacco is much better than the commercial one.Im growing 4 different types because i mostly make ciggars.
This is almost EXACTLY like cacti seeds. With cacti you sterilise the soil and leave the wrap on for like 3-4 months.
Mine died as they got about a half an inch due to the crazy weather this year.
I heard we are not supposed to cover them... why would that matter? I like the greenhouse effect with the plastic.

What zone are you in? Trying to source some seeds, love the vid🤘🏻
8b. Try Victory Seed Company.
Do your eyes ever dry out from not blinking?
Never.
I was thinking about trying and go some as a trap crop or a much plant for chop and drop
ahh a bit wrong on that last part about in bad times you could be the tobacco king because people would just make you their slave to grow and teach people to do it. But growing it for the sake of less chemicals and stuff in what we smoke is why I am looking into doing this.
Could you group these in a playlist? Hard to find the others on mobile
Tobacco king🤣🤣🤣
awesome as always!
thanks for the spice cake video!
where do you buy your seeds. does anyone have info on taste of the different types of tobacco. sorry, I got caught up in questions. I liked your video and look forward to the continuing saga. lol. Thank you for any help.
i have mine. a planted the green seed . i thought it will grow. until i was studying your vid
With those eyes I think you might grow stuff more potent than tobacco...you'll rule the 'Fallout' world...
the end song killed me 🤣😂👌
🤗Loved the video, thanks!
Mine sprouted in 3 days in the dark

Is it possible to throw together some quick raised beds on the sunny area and go up with your soil? The sun is definitely better than the shade.

That's about right. It's really easy to grow once it's bigger.
can i grow tobacco in a rocky/ loose loam soil?
Yes. It's very adaptable.
Too bad about the lack of audio.
Great Video and i have a question. Do you have to water spray them again or you leave them until they grow?
Question what is your " fertilizer" ratio to water? Won't straight fertilizer burn the seedlings.
be the tobacco king lol...... i died xD!!
You dont have to spread the seads on top
Couldve said steak instead of cake lol. Great video i am going to start germinating my seeds today!
I got my seeds on Etsy . Good luck CC
