If you would like more in depth information about how to build a Greens Bubbler, Salad Spinner, Or germination chamber. I highly recommend Michael Kilpatricks video courses which include .pdf plans and all the info you need to build these systems. His amazing salad spinner course really helped me! bit.ly/2of6b5O
Love the work you do and this video is really helpful. I have one suggestion - reorder the stations so that you're not walking opposite to where your product needs to go: 1) wash station > 2) spinner station > 3) drying station That will cut down on the amount of repetitive motion needed to bag the product.
Thanks! I explained this in my other post harvest videos. I am dealing with having this behind my house and multiple windows that need to be opened, I didn't want he salad spinner or bubbler to wake up my landlords at the other side of the property. It couldn't be built ideally. The order I have it in now, is the most efficient configuration for the space. Barely adds any time I've tried all possible configurations back there that fit. The only extra step is walking the receptacle from spinner to drying table. Bagging station is right next to drying station.
Awesome video. Busy doing the planning for my own jump into market gardening. All paperwork at present but planning is key. So nice to see some emphasis on repurposing and scavenging to put a good system together
Thank you. You are the only one to explain the drying process. I have asked numerous times how dry do the leaves have to be? No one ever says. I have been selling for 2 years. I find the mesclun mixes are a real pain to dry as they are so thin.
Another great video, thanks. One thing I'd think about doing when I set mine up would be to have the bubbler, spinner and drying table set up in that order to make the whole process flow easier.
Thanks Kevin, ya it's incredible! When you have this whole post harvest set up in conjunction with the Farmer's Friend Greens harvester, field cut greens become super profitable.
Great video. I have a 16gallon sink, probably about 1/2 the size of your tote and a copper manifold with holes drilled ready to go. I am concerned about a 1HP pump, that the agitation might be too great for the volume of water. Do you have any thought? I also could get a 1/2HP pump?
Hmm ya that may be a lot of bubbles. Might be able to get away with it, the bubbles just roll the greens around I've enver seen them get damaged. I'd probably lean towards the 1/2hp though, I'm not 100% since this is the only system I've built.
Hey there, thanks for the video, very helpful. The plastic tote you use for the bubbler, for what is it used originately? I have difficulties to source one in this scale in Europe. Thx a lot
You're welcome :) I think just used for storage. I got it from Walmart. If you get plastic it needs to be LDPE, HDPE, or PP. You can also use a galvanized feed trough. Hydroponics stores may have something you could use as well.
Hi there, could you tell me the type of plastic bin you are using for your greens bubbler, I just bought a 40 gallon stock tank from tuff stuff because I felt I needed a stronger polymer, plus I am not nailing down a jacuzzi pump but rather using the blower that came with my shop vac. So I will stick that thing into the pvc pipe that is sticking up vertically, the pump will be placed down into it and so I would need a hard stock tank so it doesn't flip over, even though I do plan to have it leaning against a wall. The problem of course is I will have to manually empty it out, which is okay for now my operation is not that big for it to be a problem. Problem is I don't have shrubbery or trees in my yard to give it to, any ideas what to do with that grey water when there are no trees or shrubs to feed it to?
Great video brother. Loved how much detail you went into, not leaving a step out. A friend and I are trying to start our own market garden in the South Bay near San Jose. Any way I could reach out to you to ask some questions about getting started. If so, what’s the best avenue to do that? Thanks! Keep grinding!
Hey Tim, glad to hear that@ I strive to give all the details and context so people can apply what I'm doing to their situation. Cool man, send me an email to steven@naturesalwaysright.com
I just have a quick question about something. I don't understand why the greens aren't bruised with all that action they are subjected to. I know everyone is using them so it must be OK but it looks so violent-for lack of a better word.
Enjoy your videos so much, but time is money and repetition uses time. Pump characteristics were repeated at least once. Please make and use show notes to help to minimize repetition. Thank You

So glad I could answer that VERY important question. If dried correctly the greens last 2-3 weeks in the fridge.

Super helpful! Thank you for the parts list especially.
That’s super cool, dude! I’m glad its working out for you!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Shared!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for sharing Sherry, it really helps get the word out!
Well done! Thank you for explaining it so well.
Awesome video. Love the system👍
Thank you so much for sharing, good job and detailed info...tx
Another great video brother!!
Outstanding ! Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate it.
hey, thats amazing! and how insects and dirtys are removed from the basket?
Wow!!! This is some cool stuff!

Thank you so much! Could you give a link for the air check valve you used please?
It came with another pump I bought so I don't have the link :/

Check out using a feeding trough, you can get them in the super strong plastic or galvanized metal.

You should put a drain spout on the bottom of your drainage tote to get that last bit of water out so you don't have mosquito problem
Good idea but wouldn't that require the bottom tote to be off of the ground?
I just have a quick question about something. I don't understand why the greens aren't bruised with all that action they are subjected to. I know everyone is using them so it must be OK but it looks so violent-for lack of a better word.
Smart and Handsome !🥰😊☺️
How come you don't solder the wires together?
No reason to do that for this set up.

Good suggestions to improve upon, thanks.
