  • Today we finish planting hour outside field With the Vegetables we had in the greenhouse. We were using a water wheel transplanter to plant all the plants. We planted 600 tomato plants 300 peppers and lot of eggplant in squashes. We lay down the plastic molds stand a drip irrigation with the mulch layer. I also made a red necked engineering version of a irrigation pump!!

    The squeeking sounds musical. Will be transplanting our veggies soon on my father in law's homemade water wheel.

    Set your drip tape pipe down lower, iso it’s 2 inches subsurface. Tip your layer back further and the disks will cover better.

    I know it has been a couple of years, but watching you guys plant never gets tiring to watch. When do you start your seeds? where do you start them? and what is your process and timeline for starting your seeds? This is always the area that I can never get right and I am not planting on anywhere near the scale you guys are planting. I only have about a little more than a half-acre (the whole property is 1.75 acres) and I have only been gardening a small corner of that so far. I am planning on a much larger garden in 2022 and so I am already making plans now for that and could use all the advice you can give. Thank you so much for all your videos.

    What reason do you run white plastic instead of black plastic.

    • @farmerdre1
      @farmerdre1  Před 5 lety +6

      The soil temp is hot enough and the white reflects the light to the plant and makes it grow more!!

    How often do you have to water and fertilizer when you using the plastic mulch layer?

    • @farmerdre1
      @farmerdre1  Před 4 lety +1

      We fertilizer once a week! We put in a our 1 in of water a weeks as well. That's 3 or 4 watering times

    Overall, how did the tomatoes do on white plastic? We only use white plastic for squash. The white sure seems to "deter" the squash beetles a lot. As for our tomatoes, the black plastic seemed to kick ass a lot. We installed 4.5 miles of plastic and t-tape this year.

    • @farmerdre1
      @farmerdre1  Před 4 lety +1

      That's alot of plastic mulch! The tomatoes yielded very well on the white plastic. Lot more than I expected.

    • @stewartfamilyfarms5216
      @stewartfamilyfarms5216 Před 4 lety

      @@farmerdre1 , good deal! We will continue to use the white for our winter squash, onions, etc. I do wanna try it out on our zucchini next year. One way to find out if it works, you gotta try it. We get most of our stuff through Rain Flo out of Pennsylvania. The white is a little spendy.

    How did you avoid hitting the drip tape when you were planting?

    • @farmerdre1
      @farmerdre1  Před 4 lety +1

      I have a video on planting. We place the drip tape off-center when we lay down the plastic. Then we plant down the center!!

    • @MommaGotATractor
      @MommaGotATractor Před 4 lety

      Thank you for the answer to my question @farmer Dre. My drip tape was resting just under the mulch also. I think ideally it would have been in the center of the bed under the dirt. I wondered how the water wheel would work with drip irrigation in either scenario. Happy Farming!!
