Watching from Scotland and really appreciate your videos. We are attempting to go no till on our 10 acres next year. You should be getting more views than you get. Great work .
Thanks, Andrew! Good luck and stay tuned to the podcast--will have people on at that scale soon!
Thanks for the tour! Keep us updated on the tunnels. I’ve never seen any summer squash varieties that grow tall for trellising.
I have grown squash in those kinda cheap triangle shaped tomato cages they sell. It keeps them up and can be grown closer together. They have some cages that are a little bit larger and heavy duty too.
So they grow zucchini in tunnels on twine in europe and I want to emulate that and find a semi trailing variety of yellow squash to trellis (i.e. save space). I may start with zukes and put squash in a low tunnel next year instead if I can't find a semi trailing variety! Thanks for watching and recommending videos!
With a rebel yell, "Screw you farm establishment"! LOL
Waiting more tunnel videos!
I like using them to protect from freezing and slugs/snails.
Oh great to hear! I was afraid it would be super boring! Thanks!
So, I'm watching this in Spring of '23, and in some more recent vlogs I've heard Jesse seem to still m/l believe in crop rotation even on small scale, in the market garden rows. And I don't mean just moving things around for purposes of best using the spaces that open up as crops come out/in the course of succession or season temp. changes). So, I'm wondering if you, Jesse, or others who'll read this, have heard what Charles Dowding has said on the topic..? I'm pretty sure he has a vlog dedicated to the subject, or maybe it's in the one on "Garden Myths" . He's commented a tiny bit on it here and there in other videos as well. In case you don't get all the things ( that I can recall) in one shot, here's what I recall :
#1: It's not necessarily for most crops, most of the time.
#2: It was developed more due to large scale farming/large monoculture fields.
#3: He's still treating his lack of rotation as somewhat of an experiment anyways, since he catalogs everything he does and how the plants do. He's had broad beans in the same place for like 5 years I think, for one.
Lastly, I think it also may be one of those things which has some truth in a conventional system, and when one is lacking knowledge about soil life and health as the main reason for disease or pest, or the lack thereof (terrain theory vrs. germ theory for the basis, basically). Just a hunch on my part.
I’m enjoying the podcast! I think you said something about planting squash vertically in the video. Roots and Refuge has some great videos on planting squash, watermelon, tomatoes, etc. vertically using calf panels. TSC has some great prices on calf panels. I’m not sure if that would work for you in the high tunnels but I thought I would mention it. Congratulations on the newest member of your family.
Excited for the podcast!
Thanks, buddy!
Charles Dowding in the UK does not crop rotate much at all and he has been no till gardening for 35 years. Richard Perkins has also admitted that he does not rotate much now either.
Looking good! What's the seasonality of celery for you guys? I'm in a warm humid climate and they're taking so long to get going.
I want to have it year round. We'll see. Does really well all summer. It is a slow crop but I can sell each head for $2 - $3 and fit 300 in a bed so it makes its "rent" pretty easily.
I set my squash up on trellises for many years now and their always successful but I just this week was thinking about doing something with my zucchini. Did you ever devise something for the Zucchini to climb on if so have you put it in a RUclips I would love to see it. I am very grateful for your videos.
I am no expert, but I think the hakurei turnip is attacked by a fly that lays its eggs in the soil. The eggs become larvae, (maggot) and chew on the tops of the bulbs. Moving the location of the turnips disrupts the life cycle of the fly. Having the good soil may be a counter weight, so let's hear how it works.
So yeah! That's always the concern. Though I don't really elaborate in the video, the theory (not mine) is that a soil with the proper biology should eradicate any soil born pests or disease. So some say in this regard that rotation isn't always necessary. That said, I ended up planting lettuce there because it needed a spot haha!
How do you keep the root Maggot off the turnips?
Why do you cover the root vegetables?
Looking forward to the podcast! Will you be streaming on Google Play Music?
Awesone! And I think so..? There is definitely a learning steep curve here for me! Haha. It's suposed to be. If not, let me know and I'll work on it!
Is tunnel 4 tall enough for tomatoes grown lower and lean method? I'm hoping I don't need 10' head room to try that? It would be nice to run a high value crop like toms in a cat tunnel. Thank you
Well, it's not really high enough but it does work. It's just tight. Cherries are harder in a lower tunnel than slicers. That said, I'm actually planning on buying the risers for that tunnel because of the cherries. But it is possible without--we did it last year to relatively decent success
@@notillgrowers I can't afford to buy headroom yet but I'm finding cheap used cat tunnels on c list. Your new tunnel looks awesome! Gratz ty again for all the excellent content.
Thanks, man! And if you can at all find the capital to afford a cat tunnel, they will pay you back fast. No better investment in my mind than season extension.
Dont know if you still need this lol but o use a single stake system for my squash just tie it up straight up a stake
Oh nice. Gotta try it next year because those things get out of hand by harvest number 7 or 8
What do you do about the harlequins? had a rough go with them this season !
So, ideally you would have extremely healthy soil so the crop can outrun them and defend itself (the plot where I put ours was not great--hoping the no-till will help improve that). You can also use insect netting. As a last resort, organic insecticidal soap. Otherwise, prayer.
