Thank you Curtis. We can't afford From the Field, but we can a afford the data to watch you here. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
You are a workhorse! One observation-please use caution with the rebar at the corners of the beds in slippery weather-a fall on one could be very serious. Blessings to you!
Awesome. Your the man!!!!!!
Here in Phoenix growing sugar cane. These last 4 months with mulch alone around the sugar cane with irrigation, we've been able to create between 1 and 4" of fresh beautiful soil in that small amount of time. It's wonderful to see that part of nature work. We appreciate you sharing Curtis.
Could you please speak more to what kind of mulch you are using? Arborist wood chips? How thick do you spread the mulch? What was underneath mulch before you spread it? Thanks!
Deep mulch between my raised beds is part of my soil creating system. Each year I harvest half my gardens deep mulch walkways onto the raised bed. Love this method!
@@lindakurtz2653 good idea, thanks!
Curtis, I created 15 beds in very similar method from scratch 3 years ago. Love free truckloads of mulch from tree companies. Very few weeds. Soil gets better each year.
Greetings from north Michigan, I am a 40 year construction manager. YOU ARE STILL THE BEST
Thank you, Curtis! It looks great!
Great info. Thank you
You continue to inspire this Texan thank you Curtis!
Nice vid. Be sure to put protective ends on the rebar. We don't want someone getting impaled.
excellent video - crisp and too the point
Curtis the Best Teacher, Thanks soo much for content like this💪💪👍👍👍
such a cool set up u got. fair play
May I suggest putting safety end caps on those steel rods? Don't want someone tripping and falling on one of those.
YES!
Thanks Dude this looks really good. I'm going to use your plan you are the best on the Internet Curtis. Funny thing a old friend of mine name is Curtis has 20 acres on a mountain over looking Oriville Washington not too far from your place on the other side of the border.
Thank you. Great stuff.
Great work
Are you harvesting the subsoil from the site of a future pond? If so, smart move.
Not that one, but I do have a pond that I plan to do that from eventually.
Hey Curtis you always have some nice music. Oh & your videos are tight too haha ❗
L🔴VE IT.
Curtis - The drip line or drip tape, whatever is feeding your plants, looks very beefy. Can you share exactly what you are using there? I am personally fed up with 15 and 25 mil “drip tape”. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Wow this is a masterpiece!
Thank you.
Awesome😊😊👍👍
I love this video
Hey Curtis, what is the size of your soil screener mesh? I think I will make one for some of my terraced gardens on a hillside. Too many rocks to pick by hand.
2 inch.
Do you use captured rainwater without minerals to clean out the salts in the greenhouse in the late autumn?
Good
I wish the next ones were first where I'm sure you put in drainage pipe underneath and probably squared it off using 3, 4, 5.
I assume these are 30 inch beds and why not 50' long? It looks like you have limited growing space.
If I had 3 men on my job-site like you I could build a city. Heck 2 of you Hell no just you and me, we’d be on top fooosure
Dude! Exactly how much land do you have under production right now? What's the total amount of land you intend to use just for just your crop?
interestingly half to 1 acre he said in a recent from the field video. Made me realise I can do quite a lot with my new 2 acre pad soon to move to...
@@dougquinton4040 Good on you mate. I wish that could be me, still stuck in the city for now...but very inspired, my second year growing food on our 14th of an acre
@@lugzitho well done, at least you are doing what you can. As you are faithful in the little may multiplication come your way !!
About a half acre for crops. About half acre for fruit and perennials.
@@dougquinton4040 Amen 🙏 to that brother

I wonder how much curtis is making from you tube now, I started watching him long time ago when he was as skinny as can be lol but you know the old saying don't trust a skinny farmer or a skinny cook because the farm can't farm and the cook can't cook lol😂
Hey Curtis... Do it without equipment or help...???!!!
Oh yah, you did.
I get it. You have worked beyond hard and have come through. There are far more doing this with less than what you started with all of those years ago.
EGO
They don't have.... EGO.
Experience.
Or anyone they can work with. Your video about Dutch farmers...
If you are eating all your own food you should really be testing your food and soils for mineral content or you could end up like what his face… teeth falling out after a few years
Do you grow all your own food and do this?
@@offgridcurtisstone
We soil test. Our soils are naturally deficient in selenium in Michigan- make sure we supplement that

Been following you for 5ish years in and out. Glad you made it out of the rat race. I appreciate the new content- keep it up ✌️✌️
