awesome, I am in Greece and Curtis inspired me to make my farming business. I just took the brix levels of my Baby Roma tomatoes, I chose 2 kinds, one red-orangy that could mature little bit more and I taste it, is not sweet enough and one red that is ready mature which was very sweet. The Brix levels were different, the orange -red was 7 and the Red one was 12.
I am quite happy with those levels. 12 is excellent. YEAH!!!!! I am doing something right. Thank you guys both, I have seen your videos and you have helped me to go to the right direction, some of the things you guys use I don't have in Greece but I am working on it.
I love Curtis' view, that is one of the main reasons why I am building my own food security farm. Better food, better security, and better community.
Yes! Finally the collaboration of two of the most informative gardeners John and Curtis the urban farmer
"The way I built my garden was for my daughter." Curits Stone is such an awesome human being, I wish more people could understand this vision of preparing the future for our sons and daughters. We need to see the world through the gaze of leaving the earth better off than how we found it and by sharing this knowledge to the world we can set others on the right path to truth and honesty.
Thank you John for preparing this interview, I feel this has been long overdue, but well worth it. 8)
Well said I'm on the mission and it will grow :)
Overconsumption is not logical.
We just can't forget to stop sometimes and take a deep breath and then exhale. It's easy to get lost even when we are doing something good.
These videos are great John! Thanks for helping me get started on this stuff.
I prefer your microgreen method with the screen in the worm castings in the water that seems to be a very clean organic way to do it

Woohoo! I'm just starting to grow. Thank you John , you are an awesome mentor.
I love that you do this
That is pure authentic passion from both of you, more power and God bless!
They just did a collaboration again! John and Curtis Love you guys! You Inspire us to grow!
Curtis is in one of the warmest parts of Canada. I am working on growing year round (for my own use) in zone 5a. Last spring frost is June 1st, First fall frost is early October, 4 months frost free.
Early planting of winter greens.... That's a good tip, cabbage, kale etc. will do better.
Sort of. Kelowna is still a continental town. Coldest day on record is -36C! Considering water freezes at 0C...... But yes, you are right, in the summer, the Okanagan is downright hot.
Totally no where else can they grow orchards of cherries😅. But still with how crazy warm things have got now in the last 10 years and this being a la nina aka Cold weather year... i can see growing in winter. Fun fact. Under the snow it stays 0 degrees C so pile some straw on top and it should be the same temp as he gets there. Only thing i might worry about now is a big thaw... wonder how he deals with that🤔
Think about that phrase again. One of the warmest parts of Canada. Dude, it’s still freezing cold! Yes. It’s very hot in the summer. But it’s super cold in the winter. Saying you the warmest place in Canada and the winner is not exactly a complement. Lol.
Actually I have an analogy. Being the warmest part of Canada is like being the tallest midget in a room full of midgets! Lol
@@nedhill1242 I take it you don't live in canada? Vancouver rarely gets cold enough to have snow! The snow that does collect melts within a week!
John, love your videos, especially this one. I was just thinking today that doing what makes you happy is the reason for living! I am almost self-sufficient in veg and much fruit here in UK! My life would be so much poorer without gardening.
Excellent video john, i really enjoyed this one 😁
At 46:00 he mentioned 80/20 principal my favorite and it should be yours too. Maximize your time by producing the most value product.
Greenhouse glass actually filters out UV light it might would be beneficial to supplement UV light with some UV tube lights in there because it adds stuff I don't know what it does for all plants but it is part of sunlight when it comes to marijuana it makes it 30% stronger so there is that maybe it would do something similar to fruits
The 2 best channels out there, John and Curtis are the Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig of gardening.
Actually, they are polar opposites. John's channels are primarily entertaining hype. Curtis' channel is all about commercial gardening and not wasting your time, dollars and efforts. He doesn't promote any products unless he sees value (in terms of profitability). Curtis would never promote things like rock dust, azomite, Boogie Brew, compost tea, filtered water ... things that John has vigorously promoted on his channel.
@@priayief amen captain. This guy is like watching a 0-0 ballgame.bla bla bla watch out for spitta
@@jerricroft937 "watch out for spitta" cracked me up hahaha
@@priayief Correct.
John is definitely doing his part, i mean wouldn't have known about Curtis without John.
"What you can reach, you can eat!" Love that!
This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing Curtis Stone and his urban farm with us!
So cool that you guys got together, I follow you both so closely! Too bad you couldn't hop over to the Island (Vancouver Island) and visit, that would have been a treat man!!
Like the video, very informative. I enjoy the longer videos that cover a variety of details. I like shorter videos too. Please keep the mixture of the two. It keeps it entertaining. Thanks for the content. I learn a little more off each video you do.
Not to argue.....but....to play devil's advocate for the "4 things you'd never do"
1) Curtis has infinite room compared to your property...a wall of dried out basil plants isn't a big deal.
2) The composted Zukes....again, its about scale. Its a fairly large farm operation.....it is simply going to have more wastage....and if you compost it, is it really "wastage"?
3) Kind of agree...I am all about max production....if its a primo spot, I wouldn't be using it for storage!
4) Again, sort of agree...but it is nitpicky. You often make do with what you have and what time you can spare.
I love that statement: 'I can grow farmers' Good on you :D
These two men have taught me so much about growing my own food. We have so much this year we are able to bring some to the food bank and also sell and share some. Thanks, guys.
Coleen Burris same here.
I love your advice and style and effort, really your wisdom! thanks so much! And thanks to Curtis for sharing his valuable experiences..
Great video! Very inspirational. Thanks! Terrific advice from two rock stars of the new agricultural movement. Absolutely wonderful - thanks!
Im on benefits in my country they dont cover anything other than day to day stuff like food and shelter. You cannot even get a car. So im at home today same as yesterday with no way to go out. Ive run out of potting mix. But i have some food growing.
Watched this while i am outside gardening. So glad to have you man thank yoy
Thank you very much!! 🙏❤🙏
Very helpful information!🌹
The only 2 "farming" people I subscribe to ... and both in the same vid ... FANTASTIC!!
A good interview. Thanks guys
I love Curtis Stone's videos as well
Thank you. I especially liked the back and forth between you two towards the end, and the last words of encouragement: just get started!!
Hi John, how was the smokey environment with all the local wildfires? Thanks for making this video. I feel lucky to be one of the first to see it before this has 200,000 views. I had no idea his basil wall was dead during summer.
I ordered Curtis's book.. stoked to learn from him. Great all-around guy..
my two favorite gardeners
7:16 Quick like bunny! Sneak peek Curtis Stone sighting.
Curtis trying to get out of the camera while he's filming hahaha
So very cool that you were able to come up to 🇨🇦
Curtis is all things awesome 🙂
Hope all is well John. Nice to catch up.
You should visit the Peace Country region of Canada if you want to see even more extreme seasonal swing gardening/farming.
The Kobe of Gardening
I loved the interview with Curtis!
Curtis and John! The coolest guys on the planet!I'm your student
my 2 favourite u tubers together for the 2nd time!
John, your new word should be epicsode! That was awesome video, thanks man!
At 26 min, we need that space between tunnels for the snow to slide down from each tunnel.
Even without the snow issue, it stll makes sense - it gives access to the outside of the greenhouse for upgrades and repairs. Imagine how hard it would be to change the greenhouse film if you had no access to one side?
That's awesome I knew it was Curtis's front yard before you even said so lol!
my two favorites together
Thank you so much.
"Not wrong, just different"....… 🥰🥰✌️🇨🇦
electrical tape is UV resistant and stays soft and even stays stuck in wet conditions. I have used it to make temporary patch on pressure lines in houses with a pit of pipe glue added to it under and over it.
I'm buying a Brix meter so I can test fruit before I purchase. Also, if I can't test it in the store, I can test it at home and verify my taste test.
I am not surprised the vertical wall of basil failed. It created too much humidity in the space which was always a problem, erodes nutrients from the soil, increases pest habitat/pressure, hard to water consistently, blocks sun, located near the exterior wall which is cold, restricts airflow, requires too much attention/time to monitor, and it is more decorative than it is commercial. Curtis actually replaced his greenhouse plastic because of condensation issues earlier this year, which I believe was due to the "evaporator wall" (Basil Wall) saturating the greenhouse with moisture and not caused by the wrong type of plastic as Curtis explained/believed. It was an experiment that didn't work out and I hope Curtis does talk about it on his channel. Sometimes the best lessons are ones that didn't work out, but in the end we all learn from it. John your channel shows both sides (good and bad) which is hugely beneficial to the viewers. Curtis did nothing wrong with the Basil wall, it's just not a viable system/design for commercial producers. Rj - Beyond Harvest Veganistas
Time to make ur front yard green ,killing the housing market price .Lol,glad ur nabours and looking forward to ur vlog .gonna learn from both of u
buy the book it’s great reading even if you have no intention of being a farmer. tons of information for the home gardener.
Very cool, great tips. Your right I've always sd I dont have the money.
John n curtis are passionate activists. The negative title is disappointing when they are so positive.
Hello from Alexander NC. Keep it up nice work. to all the critics as with life there are so many ways of doing different tasks. just take the good bits from the video and move on. you trolls don't have to constantly find flaws or imperfections, peace love and greens
Just watched you with Curtis and stopped by to subscribe to your channel
Love you both. Thank you! Bless you!
Calgary has a city wide green bin compost collection program. I would like to see a tour of that facility!
What a great video! Love to hear more of the philosophy, too.
Fuel cells. Why doesn't anyone mention fuel cells? But this is a happy moment, as I follow both your channels! Very cool, very good to see.
organization: a place for everything and everything in it's place.
Great video! great interveiw John!
In Bc winter is not as you telling. Calgary is very cold -45C. Temperature you talking about happens not to often at all. BC is very warm for very long time. In calgary np is -1by september at night.
Microgreens under artificial lights?
The Okanagan does get a winter... not like Calgary though.
Thanks John, enjoyed the video
Great video. Love learning from you both.
I'm just guy trying to grow some greens to eat at home first. I want to experience growing my own food. I must admit for a person who knows how to get highly comprehensive gardening seems confusing. What happened to putting a seed in the ground add water and sunlight and then you're done?
I love engineering that way! 😎
Good video
That's a great front yard garden!
I'm conventionally you!
🕵
Too bad Curtis doesn't have misting sprayers for his basil wall. A lot of grocery stores have automated ones in their produce departments.
Wine bottle corks or slices of broom handles might hold up well as end plugs for his drip irrigation tubes out front. Depends on diameter.
I tried the “what you can reach u can eat”(basically)-but then people came & took the “whole lot”-like an entire crop (how can u use an entire crop without wasting at least some of it?!) There are so many that are so selfish these days-taking MORE than WHAT THEY NEED!!!
I follow you both. This is excellent!
I suggest Diego Saul Reyna's channel about growing food at home, for those who prefer spanish than english.
My little land got burnt this summer in a forest fire :( so somebody has to do my part of the job for a while ;)
Hopefully next year you will have t-shirts made with hemp👍
John, my husband and I love your channels. You love vacationing so you should check out John Rose and the Solid Food Vacation. It will take your life to the next level. I'm on day 41 of my Solid Food Vacation. Also, Fully Raw Christina seems like a good match for you. I think you two could hit it off big!
Great point about Fully Raw Kristina!! That would be a hilarious interview. I follow her for all her juicing recipes. Her and John are both amazing people!!
two of my favorites
I enjoyed this episode.
for some reason Amazon Firestick states this video can't be played. File type not supported. Came on my computer to watch. Not sure what's up. Looks like this might have been brought up already. But, just in case. :)
My long lost brother
how does the greenhouse "give you more light during the winter"??
I would love to be able to grow what I like like basil, all year round
12:40 John shows us an important tool to know much protein, sugar, mineral etc is in your fruits

Why is there a Bayer GMO corn commercial on your video.?
Hunter hydrawise controller...leaks while traveling.. no problem
Why didn't you Brix the other fruits and veggies you tried? I was curious to see what some of the others came out as well.
Hey John, I just wanted to let you know that this video was blocked on the RUclips channel on Apple TV. I treid to watch it over 10 times in 2 days and it was blocked every time.
John dropped an MF bomb at the end ... maybe that's why
I have that fence in 6ft height. All my plants burned in the sun when they climbed it.
Good job john. I'm growing more food here in Sydney.
John, could you try to go to more homesteads?
Alternative title: John goes and disrespects Curtis's tomatoes. XD
You're such a great inspiration thanks a lot for everything you do John
Sweet thanks
I live in Vegas also let's grow some greens BRO!
Testing ripeness of fruit isn't a sign of plant health neccesarily, you should be monitoring leaf brix to ascertain the soil biology potential
Jon, u need 2 move 2 BC & start your farm there 😊
Yep use all of the land, don't waste that space. You have to juice that produce first then compost the pulp. dead plants on the greenhouse wall didn't see that one on the vlog before?, and Curtis is cutting corners on his irrigation system, calling it how it is
It is a business, fool, you stop doing or change what doesn't pay.
What's the size of Curtis' property? It's amazing.
I have 5 acres. I need to get to work. LOL
His total under cultivation including other plots in the neighborhood that he rents totals about 1/3 acre.
I appreciate the video. Thank you! But please keep the foul language out of vids in the future. The 3 yr old next to me likes to watch with me and she's not ready for language like that yet. Thanks.
BTW I love that you went to Curtis Stone's place in our beautiful Canada. Keep up the great work and great content. You're an inspiration.
curtis rules
This man has a damn meter that tells him how good your tomato is what the hell I think this is a space alien from an advance Planet that's 10 million years ahead of ours you'll notice he does have a big head possibly he wears makeup to cover the gray skin
Why would you treat the wood being used for the raised beds? My understanding is that the chemicals would leach into your food? What would you treat with? That is why i silent the extra money on cedar for my garden as to not leach chemicals into the ground.
I would treat the wood so it does not rot, and looks nicer longer. I would NOT treat with harmful chemicals. See ruclips.net/video/22kefp9byh8/видео.html for further information on a non toxic alternative
Thanks I'll look into it! looks like my video ended up working for the farm tour! glad I could help :)
