Now if I can just keep the mice out of our house!!! I'll do the normal veggies in the beds again. Lettuce, chard, tomato, celery, basil, and maybe some cukes
I find the use of the pumps, tubes, and liners fascinating, but it looks like so much work! I wonder if there is some kind of clay pond or whatever that could resolve some of those issues?
Probably no different then spending lots of time rototilling and picking weeds...just shifts the labor from one area to another. I seem to recall seeing the Jeb Gardner channel spending a lot of time drilling holes in totes, hanging up lights, an washing all kinds of things. 🤔😉 Thanks Jeb, good to hear from you!
This gave me an idea you could do for videos - show the life cycles of each plant that you grow. Tips, techniques, etc. Just kinda record throughout the year and then at the end of the year you could pull together videos for each plant type. Similar to your strawberry video
When I was a kid pools had snakes. High pressure water lines that came out of the walls of the pool. The snakes would whip around and agitate all the dirt and debris off the walls and floor, allowing the main pump to suck it all up and therefore clean the pool. It’s a old technology and pools no longer use this, but it seems that could be useful for you.
Love your content Rob! Im New in the community and after seeing a loooot of your videos I couldnt see this mentioned. How much water you consume once your system is running? Any percentage from your total initial gallon usage you need to replanish? Cheers from Mexico
Welcome aboard! With the current setup it holds about 6000 gallons. During the summer months I will usually top off about once a month and add around 4-500 gallons. That's nothing compare to what my evaporative cooler uses which is about 300 gallons on a hot day!
Bit later to the party been internetless so playing catch up haha why dont ya chuck a kick plate against the outside, just some cheap like chipboard/mdf (get it free from used pallet nat solar places and all sorts of shops free even old pine pallets) to stop some sun damage? Turn that 3 years they guaranteed into 10 15
Guy we know changes his 10 year plastic on greenhouses at 4 years . Can’t afford to lose a farmers plants and have a guy lose his planting windows. He got about 30acres under plastic
Can you PLEASE do all of us a favor and find a way to thank your supporters in a way that is not a monotone voice over with the star trek scrolling theme? WE ALL know you appreciate them. But PLEASE edit a 15 second INTRO (or outro) for your videos that gives them credit without making us pull our hair out. Honestly I love your videos and have learned a lot from them but I avoid them for a few days after you upload them because I can't stand the way you drone on and on with the thank you's.
Nice one Rob. Good to see the mice didn't move in under the boards. Will the beds just be strawberries this season?
Cheers mate.

@@Bigelowbrook yes, my process is even less scaleable, but my tubs last 5 years at least. Always enjoy your videos!
I feel so lucky to see your videos!
That shirt is perfect

I thought about doing something like that but I was concerned the snakes would rip the roots apart!

I can imagine. I think heat will be my main issue (of many), but this helps. Thanks for replying back, and again, AWSOME job!
do you only consume 56litres roughly a day in summer from water losses?

The Patreon thank you clip is less than 15 seconds. I'm sure you can hit the mute button or skip over it if you find it so displeasing.
sir that is pathetic . there should be products that give you 20 years. labor is huge changing things out
That didnt last very long. Would be cool if you could just inset it into the ground with some concrete or sumthin'.
Does your wife like farming?
She likes to feed the fish. ;) It's really my project.
