First Year Farmer: Backyard Farm Tour and Interview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2019
- In this episode you'll meet my friend Bryan. A first year farmer starting out with his first market garden plot. Bryan apprenticed with me for 6 months learning the basic skills and then jumped in with both feet to his own plot. You'll get to see and hear about the different successes and struggles he has had as a first year farmer, how he grows his crops in a backyard, and how he's doing it all on lease free land in San Diego, CA.

Love to see nice young people with the love of growing and making a living at it in an urban space. Beautiful greens!
@Kamdyn Rory Bots! Nowadays
Glad to see a young person realises that working with nature is more satisfying than sitting in an office.
Thank you for sharing your plot with us, Bryan.
Bryan, you are not just a backyard farmer, you are an intellectual, I love it. You are deep and way mature beyond your age. I just wish my students in the College of Agriculture would see your journey.
Dude every video I watch of yours my little dream to start a backyard market farm feels one step closer. This dude is gonna go far with his gardening career.....he’s got that work ethic and intelligence
Every February I binge watch these videos for a refresher and motivation. My career has been getting me used to contacting businesses so I feel a lot more confident when I am ready to sell.
So cool to see a young guy like Byran into small scale farming. Wish more young people would do the same. I am impressed with his level of farm knowledge in such a short time.
@@hometohomefarms9143 You should start your own RUclips channel. I think you would get a lot of support from people like myself.
We are going to get a lot more young people into it! Wait till you see the upcoming tours I'll be putting out from my trip in Dallas, TX. Lot's of inspiring people doing big things!
@@TheJust22az Working on it! 😀
A Master's in computer science, eh? That sounds like the absolutely perfect set up. Urban farming seems to me the best job for overall well being but you can do quite a bit, at home, with computers, too! Much success with your urban farm venture!
I love this, especially me being a beginner as well... It's all about finding your niche! One thing may flourish in one part of the garden and die in another part.
Thomas Edison said, "I didn't fail. I just found 2,000 ways not to make a lightbulb; I only needed to find one way to make it work."
This video is gold. Wonderful interview - loved the description of the almost philosophical, spiritual nature of growing food like this. It's something you find deeply satisfying if you're wired this way. Great work guys.
Really enjoyed the farm tour with Bryan. I made notes!
Looking good for your first year farming Bryan, Learn a new thing every day, and before long you will be teaching others :)
You both are awesome. I wish I could have volunteer at your farm while I was living in SD. You are very good at teaching, hope to take some classes from you in the future. Keep up the good work guys.
God bless you🤗
Good interview. It is a very wholesome lifestyle, the finest food and I'd wished I started earlier.
Oh wow! What a smarty and yet settled for a hobby that makes him happy. Watching him makes me smiling the whole time. I love gardening and I would love to someday owe a flower garden with vegetables. You guys needs to move to the east to owe acres of land to do this if you're so passionate about it.
Cool. Farm looks good. I thought I had a cutworm problem years ago. I got up early one morning to do some planting and found it was birds doing the damage. A bird pecking at seedlings looks just like cutworm damage. Just throwing it out there. Good luck Bryan. I think you will fare well.
You guys are very brave for taking on this type of work and lifestyle, I really respect it.
I was really impressed with this entire video and farm. Been watching stuff like this for years and I remember when Natures Always Right was starting up. It goes to show how these efforts bring abundance in the world, youtube, and the farming community. This was a great look into the life of a small farmer and sparks inspiration!
Excellent job Brian. You are on the right track. Well done.
Thank you for encouraging others!
Hard work pays off
Wow just wow good job guys
Much respect. Good work. Inspiring too. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! Great job to both of you guys!
Thanks! Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
The second you mentioned NOT packing soil when starting from seed, I looked over at a flat of seedblocked tomatoes with a sparse 12% germination....thank you for the knowledge
Yes I can testify to beer working for me and slugs as well. Trouble is getting it to cover a large enough area but smell attracts them and self alike. I either get slops from the local pubs and bars as well as looking out for out of date stuff being sold at local supermarket. Hope to see Bryan gain for an updater session.
Awesome work! I have been inspired by several people to start my own market style garden but has a ways to go. Good luck on your adventure.
I really admire and treasure you all farmers cos you all are advocates of nature and we should really protect it so that we can live like in the old days, healthy and happy
Yes Stefan I have found you from epic garden video and found Curtis from your videos. Now I am down to the rabbit hole and getting ready for my backyard gardening strong.
Both of y’all are really awesome farmer
Thank you so much for your videos! Your really inspiring me to make my own backyard farm here in Springfield MO
My pleasure. That's awesome, you should totally try it out :)
see if you can pick up some milk cartons for those cut worm protectors, they're waxed cardboard and wont break down in the water. A lot of the grape growers up here in the central valley use them to keep the rabbits off the vines before they harden up. The property looks great!
Nice tip, thanks!
Good luck Bryan! Cant wait for the update
Great work dude! Super inspiring. Keep it up and don’t be discouraged...ever. Lovely gardens!!
He’s a cute farmer!
i hope your female lol
@@teknacious same😂😂😂
@@teknacious I'm not a female and I think he's cute
Yeah totally agree his cute and doesn't take only a female to recognize
On top of it his capable!
Great video and very good tips . thank you both for sharing
great to see young people working together
Loved this, as learning what not to do is a valuable as what to do.
this is a very nice video steve i like it
Nice interview! Thanks!
Interview part reminds me of John Kohler videos.
I like how your channel and farming evolved, good job and "keep on growing" :).
Cool farm, dudes having fun! 🌱
Wooohooo they named an arugula after me! 😅
Very cool interview, he's doing a great job thus far.
Haha ya I think they did ;)
great video. thanks man!
Wow you guys you did nice farm really I appreciate I learn alot thank you brothers .
So inspiring. Thank you!
Great farm, hope to find for someone with this kind of perspective.
Really loved your video! I plant in the ground too and I’m still learning all about spacing. I like to have a lot of room to be able to walk through 😂
This is the wave of the future especially considering the food insecurity looming. Good luck to you both I wish you both the best of success in your calling!
Nice video I enjoyed looking at your mates farm. He's doing a great job already! You can shade out your microgreen more to make them leggy. I think they have too much sunlight. All the best
If you put out small cups of beer the slugs will go in and die happily drunken in the cup, they can tip them over and waste the beer though so would recommend securing them in the soil a bit, I usually "bury" the bottom quarter of the cup
Wow!! Really informative videos. Thank you.
Great video. And very impressive.
I love how you make background garden
Awesome stuff man, I'm also an ex software turned first year farmer! I can relate to the 'breadth of issues' feeling a lot right now haha.
Beautiful farm. Great job.
Nice work Bryan! Cool interview
Scott Hebert - commenting stuff
Looks so good
Wow masters in computer science!? And gardening! That speaks words. Hope he’s doing well now and happy!
Great job guys! I saw a vid that talked about using Beneficial nematodes to control the cutworms and other 'bad bugs' in the garden, they can be ordered online and mixed into the soil. Not to be a know it all lol, but the micro greens are actually getting tooooo much sun, which is why they aren't growing tall. Cover the flats for 3 or 4 days after sowing the seeds, then put them in a shadier spot so that they have to reach for the sun more. :) Anyway, keep up the good work and TFS!
Another really great video Steven ! And Bryan that is a nice garden and your doing a really good job ! I’ll follow you on instragram !!!
awesome, farming need more young techies!
I know steven thinks knf is the next step for market gardening, me on the other hand believe in iot/smart home devices...
xiaomi plant sensor/plantlink + smart sprinkler controllers and other non-smart devices with a smart electric outlets.
Something for Bryan to look into when mastered the basic growing :)
Regarding the spigot outside. All spigots are attached to the wall using a wall mounted pipe clip clamp, this is to prevent the hammer affect plus accidentally pulling the pipes. This would be especially needed with the PVC pipes particularly at that height, making them more flexible.
so right this video, I have a small allotement in Germany, its cold!!!
Woooow... for a first year gardener you are absolutely killing it !! Great job !! Go big or go home 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😊 this year is my second year and my garden looks NOTHING like yours lol 😂😂 I got to step up my gardening game
Awesome music on this video!
Bryan has a beautiful soul
Warms my heart to see this as it doesn't get any better than this ! its a win win win ! to be a part of someones introduction into such a beautiful lifestyle change ! a career born out of love for life , its not job when you love what you do . and to top it off , " you've also made a friend for life no matter the outcome ! Right guys ? lol I really enjoyed this video ! I've been an avid organic gardener for 50 yrs and was a nurseryman and landscape professional for many of those years and you never get tired of seeing this exchange take place as I just witnessed ! Good luck to you Brian and sending love to all here for this lil endeavor ! Ps ! have you discovered(Felco ) pruners ? they are high end and made in Switzerland but .... they are a little piece of heaven in your hand ! I do not say this lightly ! their is No finer pruner on the planet and the very best money you'll ever spend in your farming endeavor ! my suggestion , " Felco make several models of pruner and the #2 is my personal fav. kep them close as they grow legs very easily ! a small wet stone and a can of 3m oil is all you need ! they have replaceable blades and springs ! enjoy !!!
Great inspiration!
I'm really excited for you to see Dawson's farm, he's a 14 year old farmer. I'll be putting out that farm video in the coming weeks.
Amazing! Can't wait!
I love your garden
'I think you'd be hard pressed to find a really sinister underbelly in this industry.' Love it.
that was gold lol
I noticed what looked like an empty in ground pool? I have found that filling my in ground pool with wood chips, and having a flock of chickens and ducks inside are a great way to have a compost pile that provides awesome black compost after a year. Every cutting from my yard goes in the pool, every scrap from my food (coffee grounds, egg shells, fruit, etc.). I just have a simple hoop setup (kind of like a pvc greenhouse (but I actually used metal)). I got the idea from "gardenpool.org". They are on youtube I think too.
I have the deep end "dammed" off so that when it rains, a pool of compost tea fills the deep end with pure rain water. I then use a cheap electric bilge to water all of the gardens. Seems to work well.
In his climate he might be able to raise tilapia in the deep end of the pool.....again, check out gardenpool.
Good luck fellow introvert!
@@hometohomefarms9143 Well, when the profits start rolling in, you can buy a house with a fixer upper pool and then you'll be set! lol Rock on brother, everything you're doing looks great!
Middle-aged MacDonald yeah you need a safe place for chickens and ducks to feed in than you need a swimming pool to be honest. Well done
If you drink beer or ale, make sure to leave a little bit as slugs and snails LOVE IT - best pest control!!
Middle of February and you are growing all that?? Wow, SD weather..here in NJ, everything has to be done indoors. Great video btw!!
You can try putting dome on germinated microgreens before i exposing to sunlight to get more height. It worked for my microgreens
I wish I love planting vegetable when I was young. Now it is quite physically demanding. But I love it.
He's so gl, damn. Beautiful farm, too
I really love gardening and would love to do what you are doing and I love it. However, we live in the U.K. and it’s got rubbish weather. Two or three months of summer is the most you can get. And that’s mixed with rain and wind etc! The rest is winter!! Keep it up young men that’s the way to go.
Rhino Rhino winter veg?
Much respect
This guy is rocking it in a short amount of time (rockstar status in my book). The one thing I did notice is he is growing very close to the house in some areas. The house was probably built in the 60s or 70s does he worry about lead from the possible house paint chips in the soil. Maybe he can make his walkway against the house to give The plants a little buffer between the house. This is a small nitpicky thing but sometimes that’s how my brain works. PS this is a great set up and I hope more people get on board.
Not sure where my original comment went, but I'm replying again in case others are wondering.
Yes heavy metal contaminants were on my mind when I was looking for backyards to farm in. I had the soil here professionally tested by sampling various points in the backyard and sending the soil to a soil lab in southern California. Lead was shown to be low at 1.822 parts per million. When I first made the beds I put down a healthy 1 inch of compost on every bed. Going forward I''ll avoid growing root vegetables directly next to the house, and I'll continue to add more compost to the beds.
Good job bro 👍✨
i really really want to try this
Great video! As gardeners, it's always a learning experience and each season is always different. It even gets more challenging with the climate changes. I've noticed it in past few years now in my area zone 9b. Really good gardeners have all experienced some type of failure in growing something, and that's how we learn, hands on. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing this farm in “the middle of February” hurts my feelings. Being in a 3a zone in canada sucks.
Grow popsicles. Use Trudeau for compost
Inspiring
Time alone is why I garden. Get married and have some kids...you'll never feel alone friend. This is 2yrs later but I hope all is well with this young man's farm.
nice vid guys
Nice backyard veggie garden. Not sure you can live off of the farm, but it sure provides you family with some fresh veggies with some excess for sale...Look like you are in the warmer climate area, likely in the southern California, which is great for veggies and fruit trees. I'd suggest that a few fruit trees in the front yard will compliment your veggie garden well...At least you can take advantage of the space off your backyard which appears to be public land for some fig trees or orange trees 😉. They are easy to grow and less work to care for...
good job
Thomas Jefferson was a lot like what you are doing. He had the wealth to do a lot of experimenting and shared his knowledge and techniques with lots of other farmers. Not on youtube of course. ! think he did his on the early chat boards.
I m impress his garden 💖
Taking notes on those drip lines! This looks like something a neighboring plot has and it has caught my eye. How much would a system like this cost? I have 3 plots and together they sort of look as big as Bryan’s
For Micros, half a tray of growing medium then cover them with a tray that doesn't have holes till they're almost the length you want them uncover. I would probably do a small shade cover a couple feet above them so they don't burn in the sun when they first get uncovered. Check out Pepe Fassos on RUclips. He does both indoor/outdoor micros. Good luck, looks great.
Great tips!
Nice video bro
run grape vines in your chain link fence
can you get by without using a tiller? I have a small 10 by 10 garden for home use and I just "shoveled and hoed" garden soil into the "good ole North Carolina sand" (lol) and it seems to be doing pretty good. Just wondering if tilling is a must??
HI!!! Your eyebrows are epic!! But your moustache is ASTONISHING !!!!!!!😁
Slugs like beer too. So much they'll drown in it!
Thanks for the tip!
Can attest. Caught a bunch of slugs and tons of rollie pollies using 99cent store beer and an ampty cat food can.
