    My favorite videos of yours: the Collapse series, the capitalism series, and the must see food forest with the Pierre guy. There are a million gardening videos out there, but your science based videos are a true gem among many. It's just too bad that boring bland "plant a fish under a tree" videos are what gets hits. Your videos are priceless.

    Nature does a perfect job when cold stratification is needed. I plant things like lavender in late fall and they germinate in the spring. We grow micro green peas on top of paper towels in trays and they grow well.

    • @CanadianPermacultureLegacy
      @CanadianPermacultureLegacy  9 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah, my default for most things is just to sow in the fall and let nature do its job for me.

    I think some of your most entertaining and inspiring videos are your activism heavy videos. I love the garden tours and updates, but I’ve rewatched the video of that random guy talking about where he guerrila planted his office more times than I can count.

    Thank you for this. You have illustrated several huge mistakes that I've been making in my permaculture potting shed!
    Since you mentioned Nate Hagens (thank you so much for that 🥰), I have been watching more of his content than anything else, but I felt it was time to come back to studying permaculture. I must say, this was a great video with which to restart.
    My garden thanks you! 🙏

    Just FYI 720p60 makes older laptops skip frames (extremely badly -- unwatchably). I don't know if the benefit in terms of fluid motion makes up for that. If it does, no worries.

      Sometimes if you catch a video the moment it gets released, the audio seems to still be compiling. It usually sorts itself out in a few minutes or so with a refresh

    Thought you might like to know that while I subscribed and even clicked on all notifications, you were removed from my subscription list, so I'm unsubscribing and resubscribing to make sure your posts appear. I wondered why I was getting a load of junk - they've removed a lot of channels that I watch. Good job I took screenshots of the list!
    Thanks for the video too!

    Microgreen seeds are the same as regular seeds, just more expensive. The only difference are the planting directions. Save money, buy regular seeds

    Don't miss this crypto bull run buddy!

    • @CanadianPermacultureLegacy
      @CanadianPermacultureLegacy  9 месяцев назад

      I'm one of the OGs. I really like the capability of it taking power from people who print money out of the air whenever they need to fund wars or oil. People complain about BTC energy consumption, but to me rebalancing power is well worth the cost. Possibly one of the most important technologies that humanity in 100 years will look back on.
      I don't really pay attention to the price action though... I just save money by being frugal, then put that money into bitcoin and eth. If I save by growing some of my own food, then, since that money was spent if I didn't work hard gardening, I can now invest that money guilt free into btc. You don't notice the investment when you do it in small bits here and there regularly. I use shakepay for this, and obviously then transfer it off and hold in cold storage.
      As for the bull run, I'm pretty sure this may be a bull trap based off predicting the Blackrock ETF. Either way, my actions don't change, I just chip away and stack.
      My target sale date is in a decade or three. So I'm fully confident that any investment made today will look fantastic on that timeline.

      @@CanadianPermacultureLegacy There's a well-founded theory that Gamestop shares are oversold, and by that I don't mean that the price is less than the value, but rather that the actual sale of shares has exceeded their issuance. While that may not indicate that you should buy it (it could be going bankrupt, after all, so oversellers would laugh at their buyers in that case), the company actually seems to be really improving. If you aren't up to date on that it would be worth taking a look. Key to the strategy is directly registering your shares (I believe IBKR is the cheapest to do so, so WealthSimple -> IBKR -> Computershare seems to be the best route for "maple apes" but I haven't checked that in a while) so that they're in your name vs being supposedly held by your broker (big 5). Consider DRS (directly registered shares) as the equivalent of cold storage in the crypto space. I'm not a customer of the company, but I do like the stock. :)

    I’ve seen microgreen growers saying you need to hold down seeds with a weight for a couple days. Then lift weight off after they sprout and they should perk up. When I see this, I think it would increase chances of mold? Was going to give microgreen a shot since I have thousands of arugula seeds.
    Looking forward to the activism vids.

    • @CIB8282
      @CIB8282 9 месяцев назад +1

      I did that method when I sowed the seeds in peat potting mix and it worked great. When I try growing on the hemp mats I'm not going to add the weight but i will put the tray on top for 3 days.

      @annburge291 9 месяцев назад +1

      When I am home, I am in very dry conditions. I place a tile over the seed tray until the seeds start germinating rather than a plastic lid because I have problems with pets knocking off a light plastic lid or sleeping on top of it.

    I've never done microgreens. Just seems like a waste of too many seeds 😁

    • @CanadianPermacultureLegacy
      @CanadianPermacultureLegacy  9 месяцев назад +4

      That's why it took me 10 years to try it. Now that I can collect my own seeds at the end of the season, I don't see it the same way. I have literally ten thousand kale seeds that I collected over 1-2 hours, and should last a full winter of doing microgreens.

    • @CIB8282
      @CIB8282 9 месяцев назад +3

      I purchased broccoli seeds from True Leaf Market and it was not too expensive. 1 lb - Approximately 144,000 seeds costed me $17 before tax.

    • @Debbie-henri
      @Debbie-henri 9 месяцев назад +2

      I felt the same, kept thinking of the amount of full grown vegetables that would come from it. But, about 15-20 years ago, I started with mung beans, because I only recognise them as the sprouts in Chinese stir fry dishes, and that sparked my curiosity for trying the others.
      The seed, bought in bulk, is just so cheap it makes it worthwhile. The plants themselves produce ridiculous amounts of seeds to make it worthwhile.
      If you still can't get over the wastefulness part, remember that wild terrestrial orchids produce millions of dust-like seeds, and only 0.5 per cent of them are viable. Each Hornbeam tree in the UK load themselves with hundreds of thousands of seeds every year, but you'd be lucky to find one germinated seedling under one tree just once in every 10 years (In fact, for a long time, scientists thought that many Hornbeams might be sterile).
      So don't worry about how wasteful you might think your growing micro greens may be, because Nature wastes way more than you ever could.

    • @adultpersonman4612
      @adultpersonman4612 9 месяцев назад +2

      It really depends on what you’re doing. If it’s only for your personal nutrition then to me it’s a little labor and time intensive for typically a small yield. But if you’re also selling them, and as other mentioned if you save your own seeds, then it’s extremely worth it.

    • @annburge291
      @annburge291 9 месяцев назад +4

      It's hard to grow full grown plants in winter. It's pretty easy to grow lousy sunflowers in summer with small seeds that make excellent microgreens. I also find very old packets of seeds in my pantry (chia, peas, coriander, mustard) that can be grown rather than thrown into the bin.
