Rubber boots are a great Idea. Honestly I am watching this for first time.
Thank you for the video
Glad you found us. Hope you will subscribe and keep watching. We are just now starting to plant up for the winter so hoping to have lots of new videos for you
@@HomegrownPassion 🙏 I watching it all and feel like a Family member but invisible.
My best regards to you and your family team.
Great video, very knowledgeable.
Mahalo (thank you) from Hawaii
Glad it was helpful!
Deeeee lightful
Beto buckets make it look like an efficient way to go. Looks great!
Really a good way to plant these kinds of plants
WOW , greenhouse "acres" of flavor goodness . Everything is happy and returning the nutrition love with every harvest . The results of your growing system , methods and attention to details, continues to inspire others . The video and teaching quality , just gets better and better . The bucket growing system and the cool reusable drain system is brilliant !!! The tomato plants , will be tickling the greenhouse roof in no time , haha . Might be nice to hear / see a CSA video "series" . How the food decisions , product choices, customer feed back , etc . from your side to their side . It might make for a , meet the farmer moment ? Farmers are like doctors really . They provide services , however , seldom see the benefits of their skills and craft, in the end . Love the short and well thought out parts of your family video's. The inside look into all of the work required to build a business. Building a nutrition center for your community . And the passion , quality and character of a family , that puts love into food. Keep the good stuff coming . The planet , grows as you grow their knowledge.
Thank you, William,!!
Our tomatoes are looking amazing now that we got the strawberry buckets out of their home. They really Didn’t like sharing their space with the strawberries. It was a night and day difference once they were out.
Your concrete looks great. Cleaned up like new!
Great video guys!
Chuck and Darlene
I did not know there was a conflict there. Hmmm something to keep in mind. Thanks guys!!
@@HomegrownPassion I didn’t either. Still not sure what was going on but they both took off once we separated them. May have been nothing more than a coincidence but something to think about?
Chuck
Awesome. I don't live to far form you guys I think , and we are thinking about getting started doing the same thing with growing vegetables, we have contacted Crop King on a green house and I was wondering if you guys did any type of tours of your setup. I have been watching you guys for awhile now and lots of good information. Thanks for sharing
Hi! Will probably have an open house this spring. If you attend a grower's school at CropKing which we would highly recommend... Katy always speaks on the last day, so you will get the meet her. But take the class....it's worth it for sure!
I took the CropKing class but unfortunately it was while they were doing online only. I really wished I'd been able to go to the greenhouses.
😎👍🏻
You're one hard working lady!?
Love your videos what type Red cabbage do you grow in your NTF Channels? Thank you!
That was a trial and it worked great. Miss Hon from Johnny Seeds
great video as always.. please show those tomatoes later on... I dont think they are too root bound at all.. I predict explosive growth. :)
we will do an update for sure. Thank you!
Looking like a good early start to your growing season there Katie! Do you have enough wood supply to make it through next week's cold blast? Sure do Hope so! -Bob...
Never enough wood... Doug got out his home-made excavator log splitter. Pics in new video hitting Saturday morning. Got some more wood split.
whats easier fence trellis or string and bobins and which dont you have to do a ton of cutting
i would think bobbins
Why are you not using straining bags in your buckets?
don't need too. nothing gets washed out of the buckets because of the elbows.
What is the length of the pipe at the back (that connects the 2 row drain lines) before it runs off under the NFT's?
not sure.... it's all 4" drain lines back to nutrient tank, feed lines are 2-inch mains.
Doesn't the drain line become clogged with Perlite/Vermiculite particles? Your reply is much appreciated. Love your channel! If you could pro ide info on how to mix nutrients would be helpful too. I hope I'm not asking for proprietary information, if you cannot provide, I understand.
@Freedom Family That was one of my mistakes. I didn't put the drain down and it clogged always. You can use a net but it's not the same.
Apart from complexity, is there any reason the system is set up DTW, as opposed to recirculating the nutrients?
I don’t get the DTW either, 🤷♂️ seems to me recirc / H2O conservation is always a selling point… hahaha … save the planet and all that jazz 🤣😝
There is a lot of upside to a DTW system.
• The ph and EC stays more stable.
• Less chance of a emitter clogging.
• Helps prevent root rot.
• System Flushes
• The plant/plants get fresh nutrients every time.
• DTW is just a way cleaner method and less headaches. A properly tuned irrigation system only looses roughly 5-8%.
We really watch the waste side of the system to make sure we have the system dialed in to not waste nutrient water. We water 20 times a day but only for a few seconds...using pressure sensitive emitters at 1.5 gallon per hour. Very easy with that system to keep everything in check.
with that design, theres always going to be water at the bottom of the bucket?
Not sure. I imagen there is but I know when we pull the plants in the fall the buckets are totally filled with roots, so I think eventually they plants use that reservoir up.
@@HomegrownPassion Thanks for the reply!
Great work! Can you tell me where you get your substrate (vermiculite) from? Thank you!
We shop around for the best price but usually CropKing or a local Amish nursery supply store close to us.
Great video thanks, what is the ideal size of seedlings to be transferred into the buckets?
Before they start laying over, I would say about six inches high
@@HomegrownPassion thanks for this
i prefer to start a few plants very early and root cuttings from the strongest, healthiest plants. The cuttings will be genetically identical to plant they cam from and altghough smaller they will be the same age/maturity. To force side shoot production simply lay the plants on their sides.
do the bags or buckets have to be on concrete or can they be on gravel or dirt
gravel or dirt would work
I am trying my hand at tomato with a kratky system. Can you offer any tips for this system?
we know of the method but not too many details. Sorry but we hope you continue supporting us and hopefully you can pick up some tips and tricks that can help you with your Kratky growing method. Good Luck Marion!!
What variety of spinach does you grow
Arrowhead and Corvair from Johnny Seeds.
hi, greet work , may i ask what is the distance between 2 bato buckets on the same side ?
\
1.5 feet around. remember they are stager back and forth on each side of the drain line
Can you tell me where you get the Bato Bucket can you help me, please...
The place they get their greenhouse and nft channels have Dutch buckets/bato buckets
I found them on Amazon too.
Oops forgot to say. Cropking lol
Look in description we put up a link to the bato bucket "dutch butcket"
