I love that his t-shirt is inside out. I recognize that smile. (My father was an engineer) People see the finished product and how well it works. What they don't see are the hours, days, months of thought and the prototypes leading to the finished product. Engineers get an idea in their mind and think things through while eating, brushing their teeth, petting a dog, etc.... Anyone who lives with an engineer knows that smile that comes when a product finally works well. And EVERYTHING THEY LIVE WITH HAS TO BE ENGINEERED/MODIFIED.!.! Being raised by an engineer is interesting - ( I didn't learn "Birds & Bees" - I learned "Plugs & Sockets".) :-p And while this layout is excellent - I guarantee, in the 9 months since this was uploaded, he has thought (at least 100 thoughts) about tweaking. :-)
I'm a builder with designing and engineering knowledge and I can already see me doing something like this. with engineering mentality we think in square foot and wastage. when shifting into farming we see that most farmers can make more money in less square-foot with less work, just proper planning and learn from your mistakes
I’m not an engineer. But have something similar on a smaller scale. The filler & seed hole thing. But since I recycle from my container garden, I have a metal screen to do the sifting when plants are done. And that in turns goes into emulsion I believe it’s called. Kinda like compost for reconstituting. I wish I have land for this though !
Freakin' amazing! The stifled engineer inside me is jumping up and down with glee! Only makes sense though if you've got ten more big hot houses outside this one growing tons of stuff. Probably is. I WILL HAVE to duplicate this effort!
Sweet set up! I would add one thing though, having a bad back myself: to load the bag at the beginning, i would add a hinged plank with a bottom ledge, so you would load and cut the bag at hip level, then just lift the plank on its hinge to empty the bag, or even put this motion on a poulie system, but that's just me being lazy now...
Hey bud that is a cool set up! Do you have any other videos on how you made the vacuum seeder? I would like to make one for my set up as well too. Keep up the great work and have a blessed day!
My technical question is how do you discard the extra seeds from the seeder before sowing, important detail which is not shown in this otherwise great setup.
Hey guys thx for sharing! It gave me some great amount of inspiration for our new CSA project. I was wondering what type of sprinklers you use in here and if it is controlled by any computer or manually. Does it spread the water propperly, so that no handwatering is neccesary.
Sorry, but I can't resist... Why is the engineer smiling? Let's see, it could be because of the incredible system he has set up - truly amazing! Is there an alternative hypothesis? Let's see: 1. Dreadlock ponytail. 2. Too much of a grin for your typical serious engineer-type. 3. Possible gynecomastia? (Or, maybe just has curious cravings for Hostess Cupcakes, even though he spends his time growing vegan delights.) 4. Choice of Happy Frog potting mix. (This is kind of a tie-breaker.) Me, I am saying, six of one, half a dozen of the other. Awesome system! You didn't point out the compartments underneath where you capture the excess potting mix or perlite. Whatever else it is you are growing, it clearly doesn't affect your effectiveness as an engineer!
Unlucky you didnt have a mathematician working that build, the thing would ocuppy 10x less area, and be built in height optimizing space and time walking
sorry: that's a very ineffective system. a real designer - I've been one, now retirement- it would have been designed, constructed - that with all the time and labor saves. Because: a designer always has the task: to have the most effective system possible Construct, invent - save time, effort and costs to produce as efficiently as possible
It is a shame they didn't teach English at your engineering school. As a market farmer and a retired engineer and electrician this is an effective set up meant to do multiple trays at a time. He is probably making 200K plus every season with two months off each year. So Schmidt (love that name!) show off your skills and post your own video of a system that helps you make 200K plus annually with two months off work.
Nice dude. That’s a proud smile for good reason. So nice to see someone “over”-engineering their seed setup. Underrated part of the process!

9 mo?! This thing has been rebuilt twice since then! Lol #engineerlife
I can't agree with you more. I'm an engineer for 10 years.
Blake Chasteen up date please
Love to see his smile that's a result of good-natured pride of having done a pretty good job
Can you do a video on the vacuum seeder
Best video I've seen in a while! Great system.

Cool: way cool. Productive design & planning. Handsome execution. Thanks MK.

I wish I have land for this though !
From one engineer to another. Excellent!
That is so completely beyond! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Anything to save time...Efficiency is the way to go....
Excellent. I'm sure it was well worth the effort to design, build and pay for!
Simply BRILLIANT, low cost and HIGH Efficiency, Ah this world could take a lot of this guy, maybe cloning him:-)
very cool, thanks for sharing this. Definitely an engineer's solution.

Great idea how can it be adapted for aquaponics. It would be interesting to see how it would work.
live it... Use hand held duster broom and cut the handle of old rake...hanging on the side with in reach....other than that fantastic.
Love this - thanks for posting !!!
haha this guy is putting out some plant in a short amount of time i like it a lot am saving this video for sure
3 seconds in I can tell I like this guy
Wow. Just wow!
Hey bud that is a cool set up! Do you have any other videos on how you made the vacuum seeder? I would like to make one for my set up as well too. Keep up the great work and have a blessed day!
i AM SO GONNA COPY THAT!!! All DIY, just need to figure out how that vacuum seeder is built..
I wish they had a video on building the seeder..factory built one's are wayyyyy over priced.
That's awesome, ye oldie but innovative.
Thank you for doing great
My technical question is how do you discard the extra seeds from the seeder before sowing, important detail which is not shown in this otherwise great setup.
You dump them out. The one's not suctioned to a hole, you empty them out.
What a brain. WHAT A BRAIN !!!!
How do you spell "OVERKILL" 🤣😂
ENJOYED WATCHING !
That's one happy white Rasta!

wow excellent!!!
Brilliant!
Two questions...are those pictures of former Employee's of the Month? Haha! And, is that a 32 foot wide greenhouse?
it watering table , could have wheels that pop on and off , so the table could move out to a greenhouse
Cave Man I had the same thought with everything on casters. Although that would involve concrete or permanent flooring.
Very cool.
freaken genius
brilliant idea and amazing system, you get 3 thumbs up
ps,,,, are those photos of your sisters? are they free?
I like the minimizing of construction materials incorporated into the design. Not a big fan of the noisy vacuum seeder.
Holy crap that's too legit
love it! way to do it better
The soil part seems very inefficient. (before you ask how it can be done easier, I don't know, but can see that it can be)
that smile though lol someone is hApPy
brilliant
Is this guy from the UP?

Sure you are. Want a mathematic problem to solve?
Eat your heart out rub Goldberg!
