Thank you for supporting us

Nice video

[@retiredlogman]

I look forward to your ventilation motor video. It sounds like you have a good vision of what you will do.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Coming soon! thank you

[@briansaunders7064]

Since gauges are so cheap, you should get one with a larger psi range since your current gauge looks maxed at 30. It would be better to use that one to monitor the pressure post-regulator, near the drip tape, since you're expecting 15 psi and that one measures up to 30psi.

[@HomegrownPassion]

good tip. I'm just watching to see a pressure drop but a higher PSI gauge would be helpful. Thank you

[@daughlasomweno4634]

Hi good job!

[@HomegrownPassion]

Oh thanks

[@leemager128]

Everything looks awesome, say hi to Devon!

She says hi!! She was here today (just left) and saw the comments on the video. Thank you!!!

Hi Kathleen. The strawberry Bato buckets we purchased from Crop King. They don't have them online.... you have to call them... Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you! 330-302-4203

[@rawbsworld6604]

🤔Hops! WTG Doug 👍 another merit badge!!! . in home brew eh? 😲😂🤣 … 🤙✌️

[@HomegrownPassion]

You know it!

[@modestobacktoneck]

I would be interested in how you use the timer on the hoop house for the nutrient solutions. Does the pump on the tank come on at the same time? If so how is that wired? I'm talking about the finished solution after it's been mixed. I have a tank with the mixed solution and the pump is 110, and the sprinkler is 12V.

[@HomegrownPassion]

no pumps everything works on water pressure

[@jnm.624]

Doug, I really like that beard. However the weather is getting hot 🔥 Are you going to last?! Hope to see both Katyand you at farm market over the summer.

[@HomegrownPassion]

not sure i keep wanting to cut it off Katy says to keep it..LOL yes want to see you this year at the market for sure. If you come towards the end we can all go out and get some lunch!!

[@hichellmendoza6138]

hello I love your KZbin channel, I have a question where I can buy those black buckets online? 😊

[@HomegrownPassion]

They are sold by CropKing however they are not online you have to call them. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you.

[@likeketeanio6011]

Very nice! Where could I purchase those type of strawberry growing buckets? Thank you from Hawai’i.

[@HomegrownPassion]

CropKing sells the buckets. They are not listed on the web site so you have to call them but let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you.

[@teac117]

I'm confused a bit about line 2 for tomatoes and peppers as those run higher EC than strawberries. In addition Yamazaki (assumption) has less K. Curious as to how you'll end up hooking it together.

[@HomegrownPassion]

So should have mentioned that we are going to be top dressing the tomatoes to bring up EC to fix number. We think we have a plan to make it work but our main tomato crop is in Bato buckets inside the greenhouse. These are just paste tomatoes for the family.

[@crazy88bmbr]

Hi Katy where can those grow bags be purchased?

[@HomegrownPassion]

trying to find a source for you now. The supplier we had two years ago does not have them

[@CruzeMcFarlane-1]

Where did you order those flat PVC that holds the plants?

[@HomegrownPassion]

those are NFT channels and were purchased from CropKing

[@MrSpeedy327]

What brand Greenhouse do you have ? Love the videos.

[@HomegrownPassion]

that is a two bay CropKing greenhouse

[@MrSpeedy327]

@@HomegrownPassion Nice. Thank you. What temps do you run in winter ? Can you grow strawberries in the winter ?

[@ElLocoCoyotefarms-og8rj]

what are you using to collect the water on your Strawberry trough

[@HomegrownPassion]

Nothing right now. Just drains to waste on the ground.

[@TheRoon4660]

What does it cost you for nutrient to grow one green leafy vegetable to market? I'm sure you know that one off the cuff. What an impressive operation. I hope it inspires many people.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Not sure to be honest. Nutrients have been up and down in price so much lately. I'll look into that and see if we can get it down to that level

[@TheRoon4660]

@@HomegrownPassion It would be very interesting. I was watching a video of an Australian that cited an unbelievably low cost to produce a lettuce and I'm wondering if he wasn't mistaken.

[@daughlasomweno4634]

Where is the best place to learn all this systems?

[@HomegrownPassion]

CropKing has a great growers school you should consider.

[@daughlasomweno4634]

@@HomegrownPassion where is the school located?

[@philipkrauss4988]

Why are you not mulching your strawberries

[@HomegrownPassion]

Should we be? Hydroponic the medium is coconut-peat no need to mulch for water retention or weed suppression. Is there another reason to in this environment?
