awesome video as always Curtis. I am looking forward to you doing one on how you will be preserving your family garden during the winter. Many blessings to you and your family.
Do you ever use a Refractometer to test the nutrient levels of your crop? I'm thinking about selling my micro greens to a local health food population and I want to have good proof that my product is superior. I'm not sure how to do this. Help please. :)
Similar setup to what my father did on his cotton farm for decades; however, this is by hand and compact rather than pulled behind a tractor. Great design friend!
I had the opportunity to try this beast out. Unfortunately it was just too big for the system that I have set up and the purpose that I needed it for. I needed something smaller and more compact.
I don’t think there is much time savings in the 6 vs 1 unless you are seeding multiple beds without having to change settings on the 6. It will however provide evenly spaced rows which is great and will work more accurately than the other multiple row seeders I’ve seen which could justify the purchase.
One question Curtis. Are you getting your rollers to singulate each seed in each one of the divots on the roller, or do multiple seeds fill the divots and thus fall to the ground at each revolution? I ask the question because I have had troubles getting my rollers to pick up just one seed and dropping it.
So if multiple seeds are falling at a time doesn't that mean you have to go back and thin them out or not? What kind of crop would you want your roller to only drop one seed at a time? Perhaps carrots? What else?
@@offgridcurtisstone. I need to buy one of these seeders to use it for planting onion seeds. Please advise me how can I buy it. I am from Sudan. Thanks Curtis
Hey with the JP-1, why the 14-Front, 9-Back? I'm using the same rollers -all 24's and the stock setup (11 front, 11 rear) has pretty tight spacing at 1.5". The suggested 14-9 ratio results in 1/2" spacing which is a density of x3. I could see how that might be desirable with some quick crops or to combat spotty germination in summer heat, but even at 1.5" I'm getting super dense plantings of mizuna, kale, baby lettuce and even arugula. Carrots and root veg would be way too dense at that ratio. What are the benefits of multiplying the seed density x3?
Its encouraging to hear how well it handles beast mode over imperfect soil. Great video thank you.

That's a great suggestion. Hell, I think I'll shoot that one this week! Thanks for the idea!
Really like the new packaging of the video Curtis. Nice job. Keep moving upward man!

Looks and sounds like a great piece of machinery. It would be a bit of overkill for me but I can see how well it would work for bigger operations.

I love how you’re not flat selling this seeder but are giving minimum use usage to justify it economically by time saving vs required capacity.
Nice one, Curtis. We will be ordering one from you soon. Someday, we are going to get you down for a farm visit as well.
buy two of those, weld them together and fab the sides to fit on a 3 point for a small tractor
My dream is to get My farm up to the point I need one of these

Multiples. Piles of seed basically. When you’re doing baby greens, that’s how it works.

did you notice any major problems with this seeder that does not happen on the single row seed? great video by the way keep it up
The times savings in terms of just getting things done sooner has value too
Hi Curtis! What would be the ideal seeder for planting Fine Raw Carrot Seeds (Non Pelleted)?
Thanks Curtis. I'll be getting one for sure.
I have heavy clay so getting a decent bed to direct sow is difficult. Will these jang seeder cope with lumpy seed beds? Thanks. Great info

I also use 11/11 with 24s , thanks for asking.
I would like to see a playlist of the various tools that you find to be helpful.
Are you guys workin on any type of upgrade for the quick cut greens harvester
Do you only have US suppliers? I am also Canadian as are you and would love to support Canadian suppliers - Any suggestions?
Why in the world would the US manufacture something that isn't mondo-industrial? :(
Awesome seeder! Happy Thanksgiving Curtis
Damn Curtis you make me want to quit my business and start a market garden! But my current business is quite profitable so I'm pretty torn.
Work for a corn?
Curtis, what is the name of the video that talks about your new diet choices?
You era the best, keep up the good work
What is the minimum horsepower this seeder need?
Can I buy this in Germany?
Good for in ground micros?
No.
Thank you
What roller are you using for spinach?
I think he is still using the earth way for spinach.
Recently switched to the Jang - LJ24 roller.
How far back does it put you financially?
I think the single jang is around $500. My guess would be $1500. Let me know if I'm close. ;)
$1800
What Roller do you use for spinach?
paperpot.co/product/jp5-jang-speed-seeder-no-5-the-complete-kit/
Nextup....a five row paperpot?
Bradley Boe i want like a 10 row paper pot transplanter to pull behind my tractor
Phoenix im not even going to begin to see what that costs lol, it is very cool though, love how the seeds are propagated then the backing stuck on.
That is awesome, not even gonna look at how much it costs though ha ha
Not cheap, but like I said, it's intended for those that are planting a lot of greens day in and day out.
$1800
beast mode!!! :-)
