So nice to see everything growing. You have a nice voice for making videos. Also, this is the first time that I've seen microgreens in NFT. Very interesting, and thanks for sharing.
The Bok Choi looks amazing. Your family has quite the operation there. It's great seeing a family business being successful and being able to work together.
You sure have one of the finest work spaces possible. Although to me such a setup would be a slice of heaven with simply pure enjoyment. Happy Gardening! -Bob...
Thanks for the video. I saw one you-tuber drive wooden dowels into the old spigot holes to keep insects and fungus out. I have never seen this done before, but it does perk my interest.
i think you should put first the transplanted on a cup then filled with vermiculite its ok to cover half of the stem so it will stand straight...cheers
thanks for the videos! amazing stuff! could you cover more technical stuff sometime? I am curious about watering system for tomatoes. if you recirculate water or not, and how does that work. thanks !
Hi Devon and Katy! Unfortunately plastic is necessary for business. I'm all for limiting plastic packaging when ever we can. We have been growing in the NFT system 3 weeks now. The plants are growing leaps and bounds! We are so happy with how things are going so far! Thank you all for your insights and tips. Have a great week!
I hope we are able to use something bio friendly that can also keep the produce nice and fresh. We've tried a couple "green" bags, but the veggies wilted fast. That's so great about your NFT system. I'm thinking I'm going to put mine in the window sill soon to see how it does with natural light. Thank you!
Very nice. Summer market is right around the corner! Hey, did you find that tool that your dad fabricated to drive the galvanized posts in the ground? Keep up the great content ladies. Chuck
A questions for ya. What temp is the seed fridge set to. The interweb is full of contradiction in regards to storage of seeds. I've kept mine in my linen closet, but I like the idea of a small mini fridge. more consistent for sure.
I can only find vented carrot bags and they cost a fortune. Can you tell me where you get the vented bags from. I am working on expanding my little outdoor NFT and building a small greenhouse, 21 by 30. Will have more for farmers market but need cheaper bags that are vented. Thanks
Hi, could you tell me what temperature you keep your greenhouse when you are growing lettuce and crops in your bato buckets? Your place is absolutely amazing!
Hey there Devon, lovin your vids! I live In Australia and I'm gaining an Interest In growing my own produce as a bit of a hobby for home use. You mentioned Strawberries which Is something I want to grow as good ones are hard to come by. I was wondering what your system of choice would be to grow them In... NFT, Dutch Bucket, Ebb and Flow? Love your enthusiasm and calming nature, keep em coming, cheers :)
Hey Scott and thank you! We have tried strawberries in the NFT system and they thrived. The problem was they clogged the systems and were hard to harvest with the way our greenhouse is set up. Now we have them in buckets and they are much easier to manage. We can also keep the plants over winter this way. Hopefully soon I will show the rail system for the buckets that my dad is working on.
It is not summer yet there - but you are already using the fans. Has it been abnormally hot - or is this normal there? Is there a way to automatically vent the main high tunnel through the roof - where all the hot air builds up? I am thinking it might pay off in terms of reduced electricity costs for the fans over the years. What sort of modification to its structure would be needed or possible for that to be done?
Yes we had one of the sunniest Marchs on record. It got very hot in the greenhouse a few times this spring so far. I'll be showing how we automate the high tunnel as we go. I'm not totally sure on the big plan that my dad is working up, but it should be similar on how we manage the main greenhouse.
If height was an issue could i scrog tomatoe plants? Also i have GH micro grow n bloom mix, I'd like to go organic. Are there organic hydroponic nutrients?
I think it would work great. I’d leave a bunch of suckers on the bottom them top them. There are also determinate varieties that only get to a certain height. I’ve seen small scale organic nutrients that would work, I don’t know any brand off the top of my head. You’ll have to let me know if you scrog tomatoes.
No we don’t have to spray. We manage everything and remove plants early if they show issues or get contaminated with pests. Our main issue is aphids and if we pay attention we are able to bag up the plants with aphids and dump them out into the compost pile.
I really like your content and you have a great work space in the greenhouse which keeps the viewers interested but please consider using a few less commercials during the videos, I get it it's more lucrative but you may be getting less views because of it. Other than that keep up the great work!
Thank you for letting me know. I tried letting UA-cam place my ads the last few videos, but I’ll have to go in and manually adjust them. They said they will show ads to generate revenue and also not be too interruptive. If they are just showing all the ads I see on my analytics page, then I agree that it is way too many. Sorry about that and hope you have a lovely weekend!
It was about 105 gallons, so a little less than the normal of about 120. And yep it gets sold right off the farm. There are a lot of regular customers that come and get the fresh syrup right away.
Hi, are you looking for any help. I can do that for a year. That way I will learn hydroponics too. I am not looking for any consideration or rumeration too. All I want is to learn hydroponics and do something in India.
Lol no it’s not. Especially not on something this size. Also way more cost, way more plugged lines/misters. Not worth the headache, lost crops, extra maintenance, lost revenue from lost crops due to plugged misters
Hi this is Farmer Chuck I got to say you are doing a great job. I have been growing tomatoes for years and never have seen better. One suggestion I have is aways when you are dealing with transplanting large tomato seedlings they like to be planted deep that way they don’t fall over and will take roots from the side. Hope this helps. Also this is a great way to start cuttings especially when some of the green house varieties are .50 cents a seed. Keep up the good work l am now going on eighty two and love watching your videos.
Now , that's how an instructional video should be ! Such a clean and well looked after garden !! Y'all are just fantastic!
Thank you very much! We like keeping it clean and organized.
So nice to see everything growing. You have a nice voice for making videos. Also, this is the first time that I've seen microgreens in NFT. Very interesting, and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! The microgreens are awesome and so easy and fast to grow.
The Bok Choi looks amazing. Your family has quite the operation there. It's great seeing a family business being successful and being able to work together.

Thank you Bob! It is a very nice place to work and I’m lucky I can bring my boys there to play.
Great video devon thanks for sharing..those little helper are so cute and them playing in the water/sap made the video extra nice.
Thank you! Your videos are well done. Very entertaining and educative. Love the music too!
Hi teacher! " hard work teaches a person self confidence, discipline, and will power "

Hi from Brazil. I ‘m a farmer too. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us. I’m follow from here and learning a lot. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I saw one you-tuber drive wooden dowels into the old spigot holes to keep insects and fungus out. I have never seen this done before, but it does perk my interest.
thanks for sharing this beautiful planting maam
Watching your video here in the Philippines🇵🇭🙂
Came for a maple syrup video and instantly subscribed to the channel, great content! I have a lot of videos to watch✌️
Awesome! Thank you so much. We had a good maple season. A little less than average, but great weather.
So wonderful, great job.
Hello Devon, love your videos, have Great Weekend
i think you should put first the transplanted on a cup then filled with vermiculite its ok to cover half of the stem so it will stand straight...cheers
plus the buried stem will grow roots.
Thank you Edgar! I will try that next time. I have my cherry tomatoes that will need transplanted in a week or so. Hope you are well! -Devon
Wow
Merci pour les infos
Hi. Absolutely mind blowing, wonderful... Wish I can learn all about hydroponics in person. I am from India.
Or can you make videos where we can learn step by step
thanks for the videos! amazing stuff! could you cover more technical stuff sometime? I am curious about watering system for tomatoes. if you recirculate water or not, and how does that work. thanks !

6:40 you need to put sticks as a support
21:04 the holes in trees need to be clog up with something
Hello from Turkey 😎😎
MAŞŞALLAH 👍🙋♂️
Hello im here again .. Can i ask again if what nutrients did you used.. Thank you bless your family 😊😊😊😊
Hello from Michigan
another great video. i was wondering could you tell me what size are the holes in the grow channel lids?
Another great video Devon! Was that the perlite/vermiculite mix that the hops were planted in, or was that soil (with perlite)? Thanks!
What kind of material did you add with perlite
A questions for ya. What temp is the seed fridge set to. The interweb is full of contradiction in regards to storage of seeds. I've kept mine in my linen closet, but I like the idea of a small mini fridge. more consistent for sure.
I can only find vented carrot bags and they cost a fortune. Can you tell me where you get the vented bags from. I am working on expanding my little outdoor NFT and building a small greenhouse, 21 by 30. Will have more for farmers market but need cheaper bags that are vented. Thanks
Thanks for the microgreens info! Can you let me know the size of emitters you use?
Hi, could you tell me what temperature you keep your greenhouse when you are growing lettuce and crops in your bato buckets? Your place is absolutely amazing!
Thank you! We don't let it get below 60 F or so and it gets up to 90F sometimes in the summer. There is a fluctuation between day and night temps.
Great Video! who sells the bobbins? Thanks
Hey! Do guys use half or full strength nutrients with your seedlings? Or just plain water? Thanks!
What size NFT channel do you use and also what size Oasis Cubes do you use I am looking at upgrading my current NFT system.
Thank you.

Are those channels commercially made? They are quite unique
Yes they are from CropKing. They are 6 years old and holding up well.
You don't have to tar the maple tap holes? Don't they risk getting sick or bugs?
anyone who dislikes these videos are grumpy lol
How do you keep your nutrient tank clean and stable? What do you use for the algae? Thanks, greetings from Germany :)
You make it look so good and.simply
If height was an issue could i scrog tomatoe plants? Also i have GH micro grow n bloom mix, I'd like to go organic. Are there organic hydroponic nutrients?
I think it would work great. I’d leave a bunch of suckers on the bottom them top them. There are also determinate varieties that only get to a certain height. I’ve seen small scale organic nutrients that would work, I don’t know any brand off the top of my head. You’ll have to let me know if you scrog tomatoes.
Please what do you use to replace clay pebbles?
Andy Debtwiler pls express utility of perlite.
Is there a reason why you don’t compress medium when you transplant the tomatoes
Hi Devon, what is that propagating medium the mater's are started in?
Peralite vermiculite...
Can you comment on where to buy products, Iam in the Philippines and its hard to get any products in any sort of quantity.
in the green house you all spray inseticide and fungicide for pest. If yes how often you spray.
No we don’t have to spray. We manage everything and remove plants early if they show issues or get contaminated with pests. Our main issue is aphids and if we pay attention we are able to bag up the plants with aphids and dump them out into the compost pile.
🌴🥀🤠🥀🌴
would you water them from the bottom or top
bottom
Where do you get the oasis cubes?
we buy them from CropKing

How many gallons of Maple syrup did you produce this year? And do you sell it?
It was about 105 gallons, so a little less than the normal of about 120. And yep it gets sold right off the farm. There are a lot of regular customers that come and get the fresh syrup right away.
Can you put the link for the biostrate. Thanks
Sure thing! Here is where we get it.

We use 2 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite for the Dutch Buckets and grow bags.
Whoever downvoted this needs a hug

Aeroponic is better
