hey what spacing do you set you polyplanter JR to plant sweet corn?

Was wondering how things are doing in the high tunnel ?We are trying to get one going

Is it oats sowing between rows?

Where. Do you buy the row covers?

Hmmm, I was advised to not cover this winter because of the fear that the trapped warmth will allow neopestilopsis(spelling?) to grow. I'll be interested to see how this goes.

Be interesting. Bought some 1mil row covers,1st time, to replace polyethylene plastic and haven't set up test one yet.

Hey what variety tomatoes do you grow brother ?

I never apply row covers till strawberries are completely dormant, mid December in the Ozarks or when the temps are below the 20's. I like Poast herbicide.

Where did you find your row cover?

Love this sprayer! Taking notes for next season. Thank you, as always, sir!

We use a sprayer like yours for pumpkins too but we puts nozzles on the back and have a cut off to cut off the nozzles in the fan to spray over strawberries and vegetables on plastic crops. My question is me trying to figure out how to calibrate air blast sprayer?How far do you figure it sprays?Your strawberries look good!!Thanks again

I'm in the South Carolina lowlands. I grew some Ruby June strawberries this year and while they are supposedly junebearing they have flowered again after being cutback in August (I start my own plugs). Anyways, I think i'm getting an actual fall flush worth selling this year. I've never seen this happen, having junebearing flower again in fall. Anyone else on here grown Ruby June before? I'm quite pleased with this variety, though I wonder if it's actually junbearing now.

Dont know if spider mites affect you in the colder climate but they seem to get into the dead cover crops and go for the berries here. Might want to treat before tuck in for the winter. Good luck.

I love that type of sprayer. I wish I had one great video thank you.

As a new famer, this information is golden , binge watching now. Thank you for your service.

What is plastic width? 5 feet?

I have that same filter will you do an update on that in the future.

Try to stunt the cover crop with a lower rate of clethodim like 5 oz and no oil is what I read they sometimes do. Not sure what you use to kill the grass. I would not spread fresh grass seed, some will get in strawberry holes. Ryegrass is pretty resilient.

How are you liking those Aegis Tec touchscreen units?

Hello, I live in New mexico and I’ve been looking all over for that Miller water solid roof fertilizer that you use and I can’t find it. I got strawberries and a lot of melons so it looks like it might fit well. Where do you get yours if it’s not locally? Thank you.

Have you started spraying fungicides yet on your strawberries?

Justin, You surely have a multimeter. Your controller probably shucked a mosfet. Take multimeter probe the first and last conact points were batteries are housed. Use paper clips unfolded if you need to get down deep in battery case with you DMM probes . .Is probably a 6 volt interface, You should see slightly over 6 volts on multimeter with fresh batteries. I can try and explain over phone if you like?... You probably just make your backup pump make it haoppen. Yes,,,improvising is your middle name if you are a blue collar farmer,,like we are. Good luck.

AMEN. Work with what on available. Good 👍 job.

AMEN. Work with what on available. Good 👍 job.

I suppose you’re not going to put any heat in the high tunnel? are you concerned about cold weather in December and what variety of tomatoes are you trying?

You spraying a fall fungicide program on your strawberries?

Buy you a box of bumble bees

I am getting more and more into growing. My family has a seasonal produce market. I appreciate the information you share. Smith Family produce from Crossville, Tn.

Thank you John for all your great suggestions. I’m a small 2 acre market farmer and I use a lot of your ideas It helps me to keep the faith and keep on going as an 80 year old things get tougher every year. Thanks again for your inspiration. Tom Beach. Scottsville New York

I’m doing purlins now and am afraid to mess this part up. I have the first purlin resting in their U brackets and ran a line to get plumb on the end arch. Did you guys use the template to tighten down arches 2 and 3 and THEN screw the clamp on the end arch once you had it plumb? Once this one is secure, we’ll be rocking and rolling!! Thank you!

Hey there, off topic but when you used row covers for your strawberries, what oz weight did you use and what size worked the best for you? Appreciate it, maybe we’ll see you at the upcoming strawberry growers expo!

Hope it works out. I think you'll have alot of berries laying in the dirt on the outside rows with the Fronteras the stems are alot longer than chandler's and even ruby June but think they produce better than chandler and ruby June. We used to space them all 12 by 12 on a 4ft bed but the last 2 years have spaced them on 14 by 14 on 5 foot beds and that alone will help more than anything with Grey mold more than any spray will and the berries ripen up alot better with the extra 2 inches on each side. How far did you space the plants in the row?

i think you only unhooked the lifter and reattached because you just really enjoy lifting plastic off the fields.so much fun!

I use the bio mulch, cause I don't have a lifter. I have a home made plastic layer. I may have sent you a video of it on messenger a couple years ago. If I had help like you. I would not use bio mulch. Y'all have a good system. The first year I layed plastic I didn't use biomulch and it was a nightmare getting up without a lifter.

i have the same Reddick lifter. used my buddy's Nolt's lifter and it would always go in the ground easier with no weighs. similar design but i guess something is different

We used biodegradable this year with no problem maybe 4 acres. Worked great from Rain Flo!!

Is this the northern gothic from Nolts? I have one I’m putting up here in MI on Sunday and those directions look just like mine. 😂

Excellent videos. I have learned a lot from this and greatly appreciate your time making it.

Salt vinegar and dawn soap.

Do you make your strawberry plugs from mother plants or seeds

I know you have a lot of area to cover, but for air flow, you might consider trellising your plants. • It will get them up off the ground • Possibly save your back come harvesting time • You can find your runners to replant/sell if you want to do that. You could start with some t-posts and jute twine. The twine can go in the compost. For your cover crop, you might consider Dutch clover. It will help keep the soil moist when it hasn't rained for a while and it will help with nitrogen levels. Good luck on your season! Tyfs

1st time pumpkin grower... help me understand crop rotation. Can I plant the same field 2 yrs in a row? Love the channel!

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a video showing the large poly planter? I'd like to see it!

We lay 3ft wide weed fabric between our plastic beds. Buy it by the pallet. use staples every 6 ft. The fabric makes a nice durable surface for tending and harvesting, reuse for many years. A bit more work but its a one and done kind of thing. Weedless and very clean 1 acre organic strawberry patch. Thanks for the video, great information!

2,4-d is labeled for use on strawberries at renovation. It's commonly used in my area. Not sure why you say it has no place on a produce farm? Are you concerned about volitation and drifting to other crops?

Do you put electric on both fences or just the outside

What about running some goats through before you lay down plastic? You already have the hot fencing.

How often are you pumping fertilizer on cut offs at the beginning to get them going? and how much redomil gold are you mixing per acer?

What fertilizer do you use?
