Keep up the good work Curtis! I've had a front yard garden for about 7 years and since we started, other neighbours have started front yard gardens too. It's a great way to get people talking. You've inspired me to try the low poly tunnels in the front yard this year. Thanks! I am enjoying your book too.

That's great Curtis, I put a hoop house up in our front yard this year for the home base plant nursery -on a very similar urban street. I now have several requests from neighbours to help them get a tunnel up in their yards. Really like the end bow design @45 and will incorporate on my next cat tunnel. Having two double rows & one walkway would be a good way to offset the cost on such a short tunnel.

You are a 24-month old urinal cake. If you're neighbors piss you or your visitors off because of they way his/her property looks, you have to move somewhere where you have no neighbors. It's all part of living in a neighborhood. If neighbors do not suit your lifestyle, then move to a richer neighborhood or move to the boonies.

I did not rope it down. Now, I may go back to do it right. Also, I will use the 45 degree end hoops and anchors.

I don't understand why there are so many bad comments. it's obviously a seasonal structure that gets taken down when the climate is better for the plants. no different than putting sheets on your bushes during the winter. he probably share with his neighbors and the garden has its own fresh appeal in that neighborhood. it's a good way to utilize space and cut down on grocery expenses too. if you're anal about what someone else does with their yard you have to much free time. it doesn't look trashy at all. people push tolerance but get angry when someone does something useful. weird.

In response to the title of this video, I'd come ask questions too if you put that stuff up in my neighborhood. I would not call the cops as many Americans may but would actually be rather impressed. As much of an eye sore as it is to my perspective though, you really have to expect neighbors to stop by and bother you with questions; that's normal for now. Good for you on utilizing every square inch of your property to grow food. It is truly something to behold, copy, and spread around. Hopefully one day very soon, my perspective and the majority of our country's perspective, will see this as perfectly normal. Because it should be normal. Thanks for sharing your videos. :-)

The self tappers have a recommended rpm for use which is usually low that's why going full rpm doesn't work well and doing a few quick bursts did. When you pull the trigger on the impact it's trying to go from 0-3200rpm when the self tapper needs a slower few hundred rpm to catch the metal and cut through it. A drill that you can control the rpm would be a better suited tool for the job.

I love to chat neighbours and people i meet. I used to really find it difficult. Then I realized how much I can learn from everyone around me. I love stories and everyone has a story. If I hear stories about mistakes others make, it helps me not make the same mistakes. Plus if I know someone who has a lot of knowledge about something I'm interested in, I love to chat them. It's actually a great compliment when someone takes time out of their busy day (and we're all busy) to talk to you and take an interest in you. Maybe they just use what you're doing as an excuse to get to know you?

I grew up in a city where (usually) Italian & Asian families grew and continue to, grow magnificent veg gardens right along with flower gardens. I can still remember the taste of beautiful huge tomatoes, zucchini, crisp lettuce and other veg kindly given to my Mum by our neighbours. It is a happy sight when walking about ... people stop to chat, share gardening tips or simply to show appreciation. Just because some people have forgotten what being a neighbour is - doesn't negate people who do.

HI BOB Here. did a lot of pre engineered steel bldgs' 'Like your video so far. just a few things about tech screws, & amps on the gun, First, if you don't have enough muscle [AMPS] At least [4 Amps] more is better. As they torque out, stop & reverse, back out about half the length of the screw. NOW Fowrad gear again. IF it stops again-[RINSE & REPEAT] a few times should do the trick. Also not a very good shot at what im guessing is a hardened steel screw with close threads callled a STUCTURAL SCREW. Great for connecting solid steel up to about 1/2". A drill [ESPICALLY] a cordless is a handy tool to have around. BUT, you need muscle . Most only have high R.P.M. 's High speed, low torque. Good for drywall, No good for steel. GREAT PROJECT.

Every European migrant to Australia in the 50s and 60s would partition their backyards (and sometimes their front) to grow veggies. My mum and dad grew stuff year-round. Their tomatoes were delicious (much better than store bought) and so were their onions, carrots, zucchini, pumpkin and water melons. My mum would cook up veritable feasts from all the veggies but my favourite was when she'd take the pumpkin and zucchini flowers, lightly crumb them and fry them in olive oil. Just yummy!

When using thin walled material like that, get the same mechanical head screw, but look for a self piercing tip, not self tapping. Self tapping screws make a hole that removes material. Piercing ones do not, they just spread the material and give you more to bite. I came across them while doing HVAC work. Guys like to use them because unlike the screws you're using in this video, which remove too much material to work well in wood, (if you're strapping a conduit to a beam) they pierce into pretty much any material really nice an tight. One screw fits all kinda thing, but it actually works very well! Look for really pointy self piercing screws with the machine head you like.. Try them out, you'll thank me later. :D

Steve Rahtz -- HOA's are a pain in the butt! However, they are fantastic for keeping the value of the homes relatively high compared to non-HOAs! American homes are extremely expensive and many people will sacrifice a small amount of freedom in order to protect their investment. When purchasing homes that cost over 500k (SoCal avg) you would not want your eccentric neighbors painting their homes pink, purple, green etc... With 3ft weeds growing in the front lawn, flashing neon Coors sign over front door, X-mas lights still up and running in June, with 12 flamingos littered around the front lawn, would you?

RE:Bacnow. And why would you want your property value high? So you can pay more taxes? Or are you planning to move soon? That's why cities have all those property laws so they will have more tax money to waste.

I don't necessarily want them to, no. However, I don't spend more than 5 seconds looking at my neighbors lawns each day. They're hardly even a part of my world. If I get upset about THEIR property, it's because I chose to, not because it ACTUALLY hinders my life in any way. In other words, it's petty to complain about what other people do with THEIR property. If I want to paint my car a million colors and put a spoiler the size of a bookshelf on it, that's my business, because it's MY car. Why should my home be any different? A home is not an investment opportunity. It's a place that you and your family live in. It should be as comfortable as possible for you specifically, not for your neighbors. If you buy a home just so you can make money down the line, you're bad at investing anyway. Houses are the WORST investments you can make.

I'm noticing a lot of people telling this guy to move to the country if he wants to grow his own food. Incase you guys haven't noticed, rural areas get absorbed by cities every day and as a result, become subject to city ordinances. Sure it may take a while but I can almost guarantee that even if he lived in a more rural area, some guy would eventually be knocking on his door telling him it's against city ordinances to have x, y, and z on his property.

How is the belt anchored into the ground at both ends? Just rebar, or did you bury something wide? I'm imagining U-shape bent rebar in a concrete block, that would resist a lot of wind force pulling upward.

All the positive feedback from people who aren't your neighbors has inspired me to raise pigs on my lot but I'll do that in my back yard. I'm thinking of slaughtering and butchering them in my driveway because it slopes towards the storm drain and there's better lighting there. Any advice?

Ever thankful for your inspiration. Managed to farm all the food I needed last year and reallocate all the money saved to start my farm. How much capital did you have to start with? I should be able to reallocate 10 000 by the end of this summer. Should I do the same for another year and save a buffer or start part time?

obviously you would recommend these tunnels, simple, no fuss. If you're on a pretty tight budget would it be cheaper to get the materials locally and build yourself? shipping to Canada for one of these has got to be pricey?
@offgridcurtisstone
@offgridcurtisstone 7 жыл бұрын
The shipping is cheaper than you think. It was only $600 CAD with brokerage fee's to ship 300' of them here. It would be a marginal savings to do it all yourself, then you have to factor in the labour.

Urban Farmer Curtis Stone Definitely worth investigating. I've always been a bit daunted of piecing together an entire tunnel. This seems like a great product. Thanks, really learning a lot from your videos. ✌
@thewolfin
@thewolfin 7 жыл бұрын
Building it yourself probably means a good few hours bending pipes, which if you have a motorized bender isn't so bad, but if not then you have to weigh the shipping cost against your labour time.

True, as Curtis said also getting the bends consistent is a wee bit tricky too.
