These type of crop focus videos are the best. Thanks Curtis!
I effing LOVE this style of harvesting video.
I learn so much from these videos.
Love the crop focus videos with Ray. His climate is very similar to my own and it is nice to hear more about his methods.
Yes, I'm in south carolina and these ray videos are key to my learning what the rights and wrongs.
Nice share thanks. Amazing to see all those greens with hardly a hole in sight.
I saw a guy who drilled a hole in the bin, stuck a rope through it, and tied a knot on the inside of the bin (to keep the rope from coming through). Then the other end of the rope had a loop in it that he stuck his foot through. As he moved down the row, the bin would follow him as he moved backwards.
When you rush, you make more mistakes thus wasting more time. Patience and calm is balance. You can be thinking, singing, talking, listening and meditating while gardening. When you rush you miss those opportunities. Slow down take a look around you missing something..
Thank you for an early response Darin. I am going to cut one esap 3 rows at 10inch spacing abd cirrrct this big bed i just did.
My dude did a full harvest in the middle of a seminar 😂
Well done guys! great vid.
Great vid man, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I love that bundling solution. So much faster!
Super helpful video!
Great videos! :D Makes me want to get going with a better garden!
This was a rad vid. I bunched a variety over the summer and called it a juicing bunch
Agriculture is intervention... BOOM!
I’m looking to get into the supply end of the urban farming market place. Mainly Worm composting to supply farmers and gardeners with top quality soil. What are the top things you as an urban farmer need to make your operation go?
cheers curtis
What spacing is the best spacing for chard while utilizing 30" bed fabrics
Very good instuctional video.
How do collards do on the CVR? It looks like he's got them wicked close. Any specific cultivars?
His crops look super healthy, what does he do for soil fatility?
I'm in the AL gulf coast, I enjoy the videos with Ray, he knows heat.
The whole tour that is
Learning so much from you and Ray! Thank you! Planning to be at your next workshop there in 2018!
What size are the rubber bands
thsnk you for up loading this particular crop. what size of spacing do I use to cut my stencil for this crop. Just planted using the salad stencil and i feel theLeaves are not going to be bigger.
African Sisters Produce , Ray uses 3 rows at 10 inch spacing.
Urban Farmer Curtis Stone when will you be in western WA? or does that even exist?
No plans. I have no plans to return to the US until things go back to normal. That might be never.
I could never grow collards and kale out in the open like that unprotected, the cabbage butterfly caterpillars would just shred them. I have to use insect netting from the time they are transplanted out, and even then I have still somehow gotten some caterpillars inside the netting.
What is the process for keeping these and other greens fresh for market once they are harvested? I have tried just sticking them in the refrigerator to cool them down but they still wilted. So my guess is that if you only stick them in a walk in cooler they will do the same. So do you guys add moisture to the totes or bags that they greens are in to keep the fresh and if so what is that process?
water the plants well the days leading up to harvest, loosely put them in plastic bags or totes that are more or less sealed. place in cooler asap (especially if its sunny or the temps are above 75' Fahrenheit). some people also place open containers of water in their coolers to increase the humidity (but you have to be careful or you may develop mold issues)
What type of collards are being grown here Curtis?
What is the name of the Collard? Thanks
I see Doug hiding over there at the end!
I just watched this and I thought that was Doug!
Shananana naaa nananaa...
Shananana loooo lodododoo do dodoooo
My Georgia collard is not a joke man
Gregory B ole timey blue collards are better
trying so hard. We are both older and husbands job is killing him. Need to find a way to have him at home working the garden but live in the city and they don't let you do much
Why don't u put this up for a online rate
You have slugs or SNAILS?
วิลเลจชีวิตสไตล์ประเทศเช่นวิดีโอเป็นที่น่าสนใจมาก! ฉันชอบมากฉันคิดว่าเราทุกคนชอบโปรดอย่าหยุดสรรเสริญคุณ!
ok
Whose the 10 other guys Curtis is talking about
I'm sensing a lot of antagonism towards Geoff Lawton. Whats up with that?
Did he say he has a woman clean his crops in exchange for food?
Yes
If only Ray's disjointed scattered jump discontinuity dominated explanation was as 'efficient' as he asserts ones organization of supplies and their processes should be.... ;-)
Ray is a farmer. He doesn't spend as much time as I do on his speech patterns.
Ray is a beast. This man is a master of scaling up. This guy took Curtis' training and went nuts. He's in Curtis & JM's league. I hang on every word. We all should. Buzz off.
There is no such thing as pests, only bugs who are trying to get rid of stressed plants, unstress your plants, and no bugs.
That honestly depends. In general yeah pests target weaker plants but there are some types during certain times of the year in the southern US that simply don't discriminate.
Danny Kundzinsh crazy talk dan, horn worms will wipe out healthy tomatoe plants and the healthy tomatoes on those plants.
The plants may be healthy but they are still stressed, if plants have the optimum conditions and are full of hydration no insects touch them, because of their water content they drown, this is from years of experience I noticed. keep your plants healthy, and not stressed and you will have no pests, same goes for trees.
We used to have horrible aphid problem for years, since we started using woodchips, compost and chicken manure, not even one aphid on our kale all summer long, and the kale has grown biggest we ever had.
Danny that is really the biggest load of well meaning, misguided drivel I've heard in years. The term 'pests' maybe unkind being that our common interest in the particular plant is not mutually beneficial.
beware, all these crops sell like crap.
If you've got the right crowd that juice the stuff for their smoothies it can sell well... Probably won't do very well at a watermelon tomato stand though.
yes, these crops sell to juicers and each market is so different, hard to call them all hard sells.
Here in South Georgia they all sell great. Nothing better than some greens with smoked hog jowl and a glass of sweet tea.
Location, location, location......in the deep south, where I am, collards and turnips sell like crazy and kale is more of a novelty item with the trendy city folks.
I'd say it's about location to an extent, population base more than anything. Such a minute fraction of americans will eat kale or collards, but the bigger the population base, the more of these people there are in your vicinity to buy from you. That said, if I bring bundles of kale to 12 markets, a market a week, I may sell one or two bundles all season. That's how they sell in Minnesota.
