Omg love these. Hes such a chill guy.
Man, the rain is pouring. Keep the videos coming, Curtis. These are great.
Just now looking into market gardening. I really appreciate how you are openly and enthusiastically talking about profit, and business strategies etc, along with the aspects of building good soil. Terrific video.
More great information. Thanks to both of you for sharing. Von
Great series. Thanks Curtis.
those hedge ways are amazing, I'd love to put purple tree collards in mine.
Awesome! Thank you both :)
So good, thanks Curtis!
You guys are both really awesome.
Dude, you some of the best intro music in your vids PLUS awesome content! Keep it up brother!!
Lots of knowledge sharing here. Thank you.
Thankyou - and JM. Trouble is i just want more !! - growing, but more also about processing large volumes and his solutions...
I love the hedge rows!
My Most Favorite Video
Thank you for uploading best information about sustainably.
I frickin LOVE that JM cusses lol. Sooooo many youtubers, especially in this permaculture genre, are either afraid to, or are "above it". Or whatever. To me, some cuss words add to emotional expression via language. I love him!
My Most Favorite Video ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video. Would love to see more of JM's processing set up.
i second this, great point about the processing area and i would love more specifics, great video curtis.
Thank you very much for asking/answering my question on field margin IPM. It's exciting stuff. Would be interested to know how it progresses with the hedgerows effects, there's some great research going on in these ideas right now :)
For anyone interested in reading up a bit on ramial wood chips, check out Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self- Reliant Gardening: chapter 3. Very informative and interesting!!
Awesome video, Curtis!! Hope to see more of Jean-Martin and his kick ass farm!! :)
I love his mention of his list. Interesting to see you as the student. I've been reviewing your low poly tunnel how to video. I have the conduit, but I bought the metal bender that I see is not going to be helpful so I'll draw a circle on a board like you did and put little blocks of wood. My Hukeri turnips came today, but I respect that you said in another video that whatever is already in the ground is what you have for the winter. I've been eating the purple top radish and they are delicious boiled with butter:) I had no idea they would taste so good. I will order Salanova. I hope it will be and easy sell to my local restaurants. I have some Toscando Kale. The butterflies ate it viciously so that's how I came to the realization that I need a tunnel. My field peas were eaten severely by the deer( Trying to put 6 mil poly around the end rebar was not good. These are hard to protect without the low tunnel. Perhaps I should remove the rebar that holds the twine? Btw I could not find the rebar stakes for the tunnel with the loops. You must've had them custom made.
that start up music full blast ...
mmm carrots last thing I would do , they are sold so cheap here
awesome first question!
I'm a straight guy but a little bit in love with JM
great video
I just thought you'd be interested to know that your MicroGreens Webclass ad is right now running during this older video of yours.....I had a little chuckle.
Charged biochar will help your soil accumulate more nutrients fungi and bacteria overtime aswell
Awesome
That guy is amazing
Curtis and J.M - I wanted to comment on the Permaculture hedge rows and the question of will beneficial insects work. The answer is, it will, and already does in California out at Benzinger Wineries
sonomamg.ucanr.edu/Feature_Articles/Insectaries_and_IPM_at_Benziger_Winery/
Here is also a CZcams video discussing the applications. czcams.com/video/WHEidyj3coo/video.html
I have started two small insectaries at my market farm here in Kansas, and while still in the very early phases (2.5 years old), we are seeing positive results. Our biggest issue is the sprays coming off neighboring farm fields. Still working on that particular problem.
Also - Quick shout out to J.M. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about this project while you were at the Mother Earth News Fair in Topeka Ks. I appreciate it greatly.
Good Stuff
Beneficial bug hotels are a great way to control pests as well as hedge rows
I hope JM writes his next book in the near future
Very cool video! Can't wait to see the wrestling match in the spinach! Ha!
Lit of thx👌👍 Curtis it's APSL from India
Would you still use a broadfork, or if you already have a tractor (and if the wheel base fit) would use a subsoiler (like yeomans or something) instead?
I believe in woodchips.. market gardening + woodchips and reducing the need to water.. and when woodchips are a good way to use what otherwise would be "waste" and often can be sourced for free. it's ability to break down (you can use mycelium to reduce the breakdown time) into the best soil ever, which only gets better over time is important. check it out!
when growing tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers in greenhouses especially in traditionally off season months how do they get pollinated to produce fruit?
Is there a video of the pex in the greenhouse?
Can I find somewhere what is in the hedgerows the types of plants etc :)
In the 7 crop question JM called out 'salad mix'
Is there a specific preferred seedmix commercially available or is it just a farmer custom selection?
Fuck, love this guy!
JM What's your number 11 and number 12 crop recommendation, just curious.
What plants has he put in the hedgerow?
Fucking great stuff
Curtis makes good videos, but he always has to show that he knows EVERYTHING.... Dude just chill, let the interviewee talk, you don't always have to show that you know!..... I have watched close to 100 of his videos, and while they are very informative and in depth, i try to find others because of this..
You've probably watched too many of my videos dude. I think you need to take a break ;)
Do you know if he has maps of his property?
I never ask Curtis a home garden question as his farm is different. High value, high productions crops only and that is understandable with his way of farming.
12 Celsius is 53 degrees Fahrenheit.
I finally heard a Canadian who was not AvE say, "Skookum."
10:00 wait, I understand that if you put woodchips in the ground you increase your inactive organic matter. wouldn't the decomposing process cost you short term energy loss which would have been beneficial to your crops?
They are also talking about ramial woodchips, it's a bit different from the usual woodchips
Curtis, JM, I have a serious issue of small black ants attacking just about everything I try to grow - the pressure is great and the only thing I've found that even some close to allowing for some management of this pressure is Terro Outdoor - do you have this issue and if so, what do you do to control attacking ants.
try chickens in between the rows cages where appropriate and Aspartame. This sweetener came out of the insecticide labs, it's now available for free at almost every restaurant. You'll be happy to see them take this powder home and then just not come back. Chickens however can spot even tiny ants. E. O.Wilson claims ants & termites, etc comprise almost half of all animal biomass. They'll be great protein chicken food long after we manage to decimate the Ocean's fish supply.
My prayer: God please help me to learn from amazing people like these. Help me learn to feed myself and my family from my own garden. Amen.
That’s a prayer not a plan 😅
Great Video ! But what do you think about working with horses for such easy tasks like bringing out the compost? Even more resilient, no diesel, no machine, no sound of a machine ... ok, clearly more work - but I think clearly more joy!
Sure, sounds like the Amish. Doesn't interest me. I like machinery.
You like two kinds of green am I right? Eh? eh?
People tend to forget that you need to feed this big animals. 1.5 acres is needed for them or 10-20lb/day. there is also vet. bills, training time for you and the horse and implement investments. I read some book and seen some short films about it being done though. Something to consider if your planning your own some day, cheers.
Curtis, you cut Jean off! What were the 3 other crops of the 12 he'd grow if he could only grow 12 and why?
7 is a round # ! slow down a little bit.
How is 'rameul' spelled, and what tree are these from?

Ryan Gut
Ryan Gut Thank you, Ryan Gut.
Ramial chips are from hardwood only.
what was that woodchip thing?
Ramial wood chips. They build up the tilth of your soil. Use hard woods only!
If he wanted to seed more rows other then multiple of 3 why not just use the single jang seeder to add to this missing rows?
+Daniel Purpur good point.
ha ha so Canadian dropping F-bombs talking about vegetables.
What about growing garlic ?
you guys are deffinitly pissing off john Deere for share!
You and JM still friends? I would imagine thats gotta be a hard relationship with the way the world is now days and how different you guys view the world politically
Oh ya. Me and JM talk all the time. Not sure what you mean by your comment about politics.
@@offgridcurtisstone I'm part of his masterclass and he just seems very Liberal compared to your Libertarian beliefs. I am a Libertarian and a lot of my Liberal friends have shunned me because I am anti govt, anti vax, etc. I figured with as much as you speak up that might have affected your relationship, but I am glad it hasn't! That's great you two are still friends! I really look up to you, thanks for doing all the hard work you do!
Plus I hadn't seen a video with you two in years, so I was wondering if something happened....
Well, the government lockdowns and mask enforcement is making travel a lot less appealing.

Awesome
