There is an incredible machine that I almost bought to do 'exactly ' what he is showing us. It was touted to grow for livestock. It was especially designed to germ and grow seedlings for farmers. You can youtube it on ' easy seeder' or 'easy seed'. The actual unit though is for picking up all size/manner of seed thru an air pressurized system, and placing them exactly in the plastic trays using a dibble board. I am talking to types of tools here so as to not be confused. The first one is about 6ft tall with multiple trays and uses heat, light and a mist system. It literally pumps out micro greens lickety split as well as seed for plants and transplanting out in the field. Enjoy-Jerry (from Verdi Land)

There is unlimited, documented proof. The gardener needs to buy only seed. Poor, unhealthy soil is the reason for low yields. The solution is organic matter and no chemicals. Organic, no-till gardening in permanent beds, with permanent paths, using hand tools, takes almost no funds, increases yields 50 to 100%, reduces labor by 50 to 75%, reduces expenses to nearly 0, creates healthy soil with high fertility, stops soil compaction, rainwater runoff, soil erosion and eliminates most weed, disease and insect problems. With no-till, organic matter [green manure/cover crops or weeds or crop residue] generates the following results:  The mulch gradually rots into the soil providing a constant supply of nutrients while eliminating composting.  Moisture retention due to the mulch means reduced need for watering; saving both resources and labor.  Mulch prevents weeds from growing, reducing another laborious chore.  Because of greater nutrients, plants can be planted twice as densely as normally recommended.  The combination of denser spacing and healthy soil means a fourfold increase in yield. Josef Graf dirtdoctor.com has promoted organic gardening/landscaping since 1988, invisiblegardener.com since 1972 and rodaleinstitute.org since 1974. At the time of my visit: an India gardener has been for 5 years; a Malawi gardener has been [vegetables] for 25 years [model garden]; Ruth Stout [read her books] had a no-till garden for 25 years and 7,000 visitors.

Excellent job Curtis, as usual. Do me a favor - when you do these type videos - the crop focus type videos - please include the soil mixture you use to include the type fertilizer used and have found to provide the best growth and cash return. For example, I don't think you use 8-2-4 for everything you grow - what do you use for radish and turnips for example; I know you told me you use 4-4-4 for tomatoes and 8-2.4 for salanova (great product by the way) - this would help us avoid having to do trial and error to find the best fertilizer to use for a given product.

Hi there, he composts what is left in the tray. Not many microgreens can grow a second or third time due to sucking up all the nutrients in the soil the first time around. An exception to that is wheatgrass or any other kind of grass you may grow for juicing. You typically can get 2-3 cuts off of them, with your first cut yielding the most.

nice video. love to see the gardening. A point though about cost, you mention a seed, soil and labor cost as about $2 per pound, but you have space and heat /power to consider too.
@offgridcurtisstone
@offgridcurtisstone 7 жыл бұрын
Good question, but no, they would be a fraction of the cost. Heat for example costs me on average about $200 / month or less. In a month, we plant nearly $4000 worth of micros.

Curtis, what kind of grow lights do you use and how long should the microgreens be in sunlight / darkness?
@carolynchan2768
@carolynchan2768 6 жыл бұрын
Is the heat generated from the grow lamps alone? Or is there an additional heat cost? What is the source of that heat (that would also factor in on the cost in various venues)? Also, do you discuss the cost of build outs and capital costs factoring in on the overall net profitability somewhere? Especially in an urban farm, I would imagine the rental of space would be higher.

Ya, they're good. I've done corn shoots before. You need to grow them in complete darkness. I made these wood boxes with shade cloth that cover 1 flat and I did that for some customers. They're just not a crop that there's a lot of demand for, so I barely do them.
