SECRET to Transplanting TOMATOES

[@LakeMonster68]

Love the idea of heating the ground for early season gardening.

[@farmerdre1]

Yes!

[@prestonberg9604]

@@farmerdre1 do you have a 2 layer roof that's inflated? I couldn't tell. If not you should that's what we do and that will help with heating and condensation etc

[@ZsOtherBrother]

@@prestonberg9604 Does that require constant air pressure? and how do you seal the two layers? Thanks.

[@prestonberg9604]

@@ZsOtherBrother it requires a small blower motor real small like a 1/16 horse electric. It’ll make like a up to 20” pillow. Obviously it billows more in the center of the frame and less where the tie down points are ex: at the peak and at the sidewalls . But when it’s windy it will ride real nice and insulates much better and you don’t get frost on the inside of the plastic

[@prestonberg9604]

@@ZsOtherBrother the layers bleed off just enough air to equalize so you don’t need a pressure relief valve . We use “wiggle wire” at the ground then go up four feet to a sidewalk and there’s wiggle wire there. So the sidewalls are separate pieces and are not inflated. Only the sheet of roof is. So you could really do a single layer on sidewalk unless you’re doing a “ground to ground” frame.

Your videos are always full of useful information and creative ideas. Thank you for sharing.

Yooooo my man those daily vids are paying off. Amazing growth on your channel 📈

[@robertpepper2767]

What is the recipe for your starting medium for tomato seeds please.I like your very informative no nonsense style thanks. Bob

[@scottwhite4645]

Hi Bob ! I don’t believe there’s a recipe per se, but watching the video there’s a bag of Berger #2 which is a commercial germination and potting soil mix. Berger products are highly recommended by commercial growers. They’re based in Canada have offices in the US as well. I use several products from Berger including the germination mix along with mixes #5 & #7 depending on specific crops. Good Luck !

[@robinholbrook8296]

You can make potting mix by mixing peat moss and vermilate. 3 parts peat and one part vermilate. Wet it first in bucket and then add to cups

[@farmerdre1]

We use that germination soil, I have found that I get beat germination with it!

[@nancygoerlich8526]

So glad to see your channel growing as fast as your tomatoes!

[@jerryvassar3788]

Thanks for video . Tomato’s looking good .

[@fizer718]

Yes to the heat your high tunnel video. And so right on about the first tomatoes to the farmers market. Smart. Shared your video to Facebook and to a wonderful friend

[@jeffschmidt8491]

What kind of dirt do you use to start the seedlands

[@charliecrutcher9840]

How are the plants pollinated?

[@WESTTEXASUNDERGROUND]

1 question what is the soil mix you are transplanting into Is it something you buy or mix yourself

[@kelleyskitchen9046]

They are looking great! Wow, I hope mine look like that when I get growing

[@farmerdre1]

👍👍

[@DivaGarden33]

Good job friend, nice video 🌷👍🏼👌

[@bradwarren8833]

At what temperature do you cover your tomato plants inside the GH during the winter?

[@richstone2627]

Where can I apply for one of those grants ? Thank you for any and all help.

[@frankbernard4637]

Tip for heating for your greenhouse. Go by local heat and air business. They probably have old heating units from ones they replaced. They will do excellent job and are much cheaper.

[@mikedudley1079]

Any thoughts on field tomatoes not staked but planting 3k plants all determinant 7b ? Not much out there other than in California commercial production

[@earacheselbowsenoch6251]

That propane stove is awesome!!

[@prestonberg9604]

I start in a hoss tools 165 tray. Then to a 3 1/2" pot

[@rsmith6909]

Great work

[@harppoon23]

Whats the best roma varieties for determinant and interminable for high tunnels?

[@kathleengreen9660]

Thanks for the information on the tomatoes! How do you tell when it is time to spray you apple trees so the apples won’t get worms in them?

[@highergroundfarm7527]

Great video! What manufacturer and model is your High Tunnel and how big is it? I have a grant and need to get one very soon. Thanks!

[@mistyfinley5615]

Do you think the tomatoes you plant in the high tunnels would do just as good outside ?

[@StevenStGelais]

You can grow earlier and stop growing later into fall, obviously that's the main advantage. So I would say you get better yield because you can grow them longer. That's my guess atleast

[@wesmurphy9725]

Better yield, better quality. 6+ week longer season.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Less insect pressure, less disease, what could be better.

[@robwells354]

Good work

[@scottwhite4645]

Dre, Are you staying with Master Blend for your tomatoes this year or going back to Miller’s? Curious what you thought, I’ve only used MB for hydro tomatoes in the past. Thanks ! BTW, your tomato seedlings look really strong and healthy..guess the Mars is worth the extra $$

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

My big deana had really large core but a big pretty tomatoes

[@farmerdre1]

Ill see this summer

[@all21leishman67]

How far down is the pex pipe?

[@nathanromain8821]

[@eighthof8]

Dre isn't posting a vid a day like he used to do since he's became so famous with all his subscribers. Tell your brother to get my cap on the way. Since I'm hair challenged I wear 'em. Learning a bunch about tomatoes. Thanks!

[@cecilbrown4804]

And I'm hoping to have a vine ripe tomato by independence day here in Carolina. ..

[@jackosallotment6224]

Those toms look great i do about 400 to sell for charity on my small allotment so know how it feels transplanting but not in the quantities you’re doing all the best love the wood burner heater cheers 🍻

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks for Watching

[@pepguardiola1537]

Genius

[@99cornisland]

use 50 cell trays and wait a week longer before you seed them and you don't have to do any of that crazy moving to larger trays. Just my 2 cents

[@gmathis4829]

I get best results putting 2 Transplants together, buried deep, per stake/cage. They will share root systems, becoming a single vigorous plant. Jalapeños and other Peppers and not just Tomatoes respond well to this method. Hola Vecino! Saludos desde eSpringdale Arkansas BuenGente😉😉😉!!! Wanna swap Italian Sauce Tips for Hispanic ones??

[@farmerdre1]
