How do you control the squash vine borers? When my squash flowers bloom, that's when the vine borers attack...If leave on the insect netting, you'd have to hand pollinate.

Where can you find the rope you use?

How are you doing with all the rain? Your compost also wicks water. You could mention how well this would work with a hydroponic solution with an inert media, even though NOFA's philosophy does not allow hydroponic you should let Me decide. Use a convex cover to shed the extra rain with a hole in the cover for your plant and a few holes under the lip of the barrel to allow air exchange. Show a few side by side comparisons and measure production. Also, if one feeder bucket lasts one month then I can do four grow containers and add more solution once a week. Have you tried compost tea? All in all a great idea! You have got Me thinking. I will certainly try this system. Thank you.

love to learn about NH's farms but Sarah should lose the upspeak.

Really great video with so many good tips to save time and problems!

interesting

Hello, thank you so much for this video, helped me a lot. But I have an important question. Should we do drainage holes in the main bin where the plant it? Or not required? Thanks.

Can this be done with two 5 gallon buckets if so what size (diameter) rope????

Super enlightening - thank you!!!!!

👍👍

Why use fossil fuel product. Why not a metal wire?

Great stuff!

I have seen your video . Your content is very good. I have inspected and audited your channel and found that there are some issues in your channel due to which views and subscriptions are not increasing in your channel.Let's talk about it.

Thank you so much . I am 72 yrs old and out of necessity I have to grow more of my food now . But am having a hard time moving around this way of growing will help me so much not having to hand water everything at the same time. ❤️❤️❤️🍅🍆🥔🥒🥕 Grandma in Texas Z 8b - 9a

I enjoyed their story but please work on the audio quality of future videos. Some of the dialog was difficult to hear.

Proud of what you and your team are doing and so pleased that you are not that far from me. I am aware of biodynamic farming/growing principals. I was involved with a biodynamic Waldorf farm in upstate NY for a little while. Nature knows nature best and speaks to us all the time, if we can listen and hear and respect.

Hello, after the season how deep did the roots grow?

I know this is old but I wish he would've done a follow up to validate the functionally and show that the wicking system was working.

Where’s the finishes product vid Ron?

Thank u Ron for your excellent video best information i have ever heard ie. nylon rope! Sealing ends! Washing and more! Wanted a way to irrigate in my greenhouse. So much confusing info on utube all lraving out vital points! Enjoyef your video presented in your beautiful rural setting! ❤ hugs to your canine friend!i introduce him/her! I watched your video seasons ago but no matter timeless info! Many thanks again and best wishes from Ireland!! Nice music too😂 WELL DONE WELLLLLL DONE EVERYONE!

So happy I found you. Does anyone know what lights he is using to start his seedlings

So bummed. Im looking for the name of wicking rope and this was great but no name. 😔

It should also be noted that soil will wick moisture until it reaches a feild capacity. This means the mix must be correct for the intended plants use. Over wintering plants, should be allowed to dry. It is a good idea with all plants to meet them breath by drying and wetting pulling air through the substrate.

I'm. Building a 10x 4.raised bed using.2x8 lumber..As to the ends, do they need to be longer than.48 inches to get my 4 foot width?

Ron. were those threaded bolts or woodscrews??

I’ve been torn between moving to New Hampshire or Maine to start my own Homestead. I’ve lived in Massachusetts most of my life and I’m sick and tired of the regulations and taxes. I’m wondering if New Hampshire is friendly towards smaller farming operations and working farmers markets for a living.

Thank you so much for this. Just what I needed. I'm wondering where I can get trays and those initial growing cups like yours.

*Indian environmental scientist blasts anti-GMO celebrity Vandana Shiva for ‘baseless’ assault on biotech crops* June 9, 2020 "A reader curious about celebrities’ role in the radical environmental movement emailed me recently. He wondered if …. their claims about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) were credible. [Editor’s note: Vijay Jayaraj holds an M.Sc in environmental science from the University of East Anglia, England] He was particularly interested in anti-GMO claims by …. Vandana Shiva. Shiva is no newbie to GMO. She speaks often against it. Her celebrity status gives her high visibility. Recently, Shiva claimed that Bill Gates perpetuates Monsanto’s work by promoting GMO in India. She said GMO crops have a lower yield than non-GMO. She also said farmers would not choose GMO if not for Gates’s influence. Her claims are baseless. I come from a region with high agricultural output. I know many farmers. The Indian government has no control over their choices of seeds. Farmers are concerned about their livelihood. Most prefer crops that give larger yield. Why? You can guess. They give higher profit margins. Farmers prefer [biotech] crops. Only a few experiment with organic farming. Many so-called “organic” products in India have high traces of toxins. That makes them dangerous. But they also cost twice as much as non-“organic.” Expensive, organic coconut oils from India sold in the United States may not be completely organic, despite certification. Shiva is popular in the media. But 95% of the farmers I know (hundreds in my own family circle) reject her ideas. India’s two major political parties support GMO. True, a few individuals side with the anti-GMO lobby. But the dominant position is based on solid scientific testing. Yet anti-GMO groups have blocked GM crops through court interference. Shiva is a leading agent. Shiva’s claims on GMO farming are false. She calls Golden Rice a hoax. Golden Rice is a GM variant that can help eradicate vitamin A deficiencies that cause blindness and death. Scientific authorities in nations like the US and Canada declare it safe and beneficial. Over 100 Nobel Laureates have hailed it. Although Shiva is involved in an anti-GM cartel, she is ignorant about GM. She is neither a biologist nor an expert on genetic science. Her bachelor’s degree was in physics. She specialized in the philosophy of science. Her doctoral dissertation mused on the “hidden variables and locality in quantum theory.” Vandana Shiva is a radical environmentalist. Her anti-GMO policies reduce poor farmers’ profits and deprive other poor people of affordable food. Pop-culture celebrities like her, who pontificate on matters on which they know little or nothing, are a menace to agricultural and economic development." clashdaily.com/2020/06/pop-culture-celebrities-a-hurdle-to-agricultural-and-economic-liberation/

*The Germination of Outrage: How Vandana Shiva Fabricates Conspiracy Theories* Posted by RISKMONGER [a degreed biotech expert] on FEBRUARY 27, 2020 "Vandana Shiva has made a lucrative business out of spreading conspiracy theories about agricultural technologies, sustainable farming, capitalism and industry. Her popularity has grown as she positions herself as a modern-day Gandhi, a social justice warrior, an ecological feminist and an agroecologist. The problem is that most everything that comes out of her much amplified mouth is complete nonsense: pure fabrications easily and often refuted. Which leads to the question: How does Vandana consistently get away with such ridiculous falsehoods and oral assaults on intelligent thought? How can she weave the absurd into a web of allegations willingly consumed by her followers? How does she relentlessly fabricate conspiracy theories and package them for consumption among the Western liberal elite? This article will look at one web of lies she is presently spinning as an analysis of the germination of outrage. Gone Vananas! As Vandana points her finger at Western economic models and institutions, she has profited quite well from lucrative speaking fees and first-class luxury living. She uses the free speech made available to her on university campuses to condemn farmers for freely choosing the seeds they want to grow. As Vandana attacks industry for their lack of openness, she will never engage in open debate with an adversary. As long as Vandana controls the microphone, she can say what she wants, repeating it to her followers and making the outrageous a marketable outrage. Some of the claims she has repeatedly made, which would have destroyed the credibility of any mere mortal, include: *Shiva: Indian farmers are killing themselves in much larger numbers after being exposed to pesticides and GMOs. Fact: Indian farmer suicide rates are lower than the national average. *Shiva: 75% of all diseases are caused by a “Poison Cartel” of three chemical companies. Fact: This is too absurd to consider. We are living longer and healthier lives. *Shiva: The Green Revolution in the 1960s destroyed India’s way of life. Fact: Until the Green Revolution, India was plagued with famines and chronic malnutrition. This is not a story about how wrong Vandana Shiva is, how she hypocritically profits from her lies or how dangerous she is to global food security. There is enough critical information out there. This is a story about how Vandana’s lies germinate into conspiracy theories packaged for outrage consumption. With Shiva, the truth doesn’t matter. She simply ignores any fact-checking, corrections and personal criticisms. Her adoring audience wants to hear what Shiva has to say, without a care for whether it is true or not. Like Donald Trump, Shiva has a Teflon charisma that appeals specifically to her base and allows her to take them down a road of rage, righteousness and rhetoric. Facts don’t matter when zealots fabricate outrage." Full coverage at: risk-monger.com/2020/02/27/the-germination-of-outrage/

Glad I found this channel ! Retired New Hampshire from Northfield.

Hey, would you tell me the song in the beginning, awesome music? And also, what is this style of music called? Greetings from Germany

The fumes are high in this one, good Lord.

Thank you it has something that I wanted effective and cheep Kit from AUS

Ive tried wick irrigation in hydroponics and it didn't work........im interested in how you do it, how do you fertilize ? I found the wick system in the 5 gallon buckets , did not pick up the hydroponic nutrition well,

Great information , thanks.

Great job, love it.

You do and talk about too many unnecessary things. Be concise, your video could have been half the length.

Can this be setup to accomodate a 2/8 foot raised bed?

Thanks!

I have always been a gardner taught by my grandpa who helped me do it with other people.

What is the minimum size pot to grow a tomato plant? It seems that the pot used is a bit too big for one tomato plant. (If the plant starts to drink from the reservoir, then the rest of the potting mix is unused?)

Awesome video full of knowledge,💚👍🥰

Owssam

18:18 the same with the ideological porcupines in New Hampshire

Hey checking to see how it is working. Also, if I go deeper work the wick will it encourage the the roots to go deeper?

So are their drainage holes in the container that the plant is in ?

Thanks Ron, nice hat trick at the end! I'm down in Newington, gonna get me some big black garbage cans this spring and see how it works!

Has anyone done this with a seep well?

Whyte liberals are a bigger danger to this earth than the Whyte súpremacists
