[@akdirhassan9446]

This is very good job i hope you will keep it.

[@jonsparrow6385]

gorgeous setup. I'm so intrigued by hydroponics - planning to set up something to have fresh greens all year round. Where do you guys get those long tube pipes with the holes cut out?

[@hydrodan503]

Hello from norther California I'm starting a hydroponic greenhouse just like your the greenhouse and we got a hydroponics system on the way from crop King be here in April . One question at what tempeture do you try to maintain in the your poly tunnel during winter and summer ? And do you have to heat your nutrient water during the winter and or a water chiller in the summer to maintain your nutrient tank ? Thank you for your time and patience I love your videos it gave me the courage to start our farm

[@timhalliday5300]

Hello, Looking to start a hydroponic system like yours wondering where you get your troughs from? Your produce looks great. I currently grow cucumbers and tomatoes with the same exact fertilizers that you use in your system.

[@Reeves898]

Where do you get the troughs? Or are those gutters How does it drain and recirculating?

[@hillaryprime5489]

Hi! I love your videos! Hoping to start a similar style hydroponic greenhouse in Massachusetts. I was wondering what size your greenhouse is and how many troughs you can fit in it? Trying to decide what size will be enough but not too much for our operation. Thank you so much for any response!

[@bphogenson]

Thanks for the video, great help. What do you use for a root conditioner to help the roots establish? Do you only use the root conditioner once or is it done periodically? Appreciate all the information.

[@johnentrekin6549]

Great videios... iam John in Georgia...I would like to know which plants you can harvest multiple times...just starting out...my wife , Pam says Hi....thanks God Bless

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Thanks! Hi Pam! Multiple cutting crops are, Arugula, beet greens, swiss chard & kale.

[@rodolphfarah200]

Good day. Excellent work your are doing in your hydroponics system. I am more personally an expert in hydroponics strawberry and raspberry, and wishes to add kale to my list of production. Is there a possibility to have a bit more details on your kale production? Thank you Note: Spinach needs different ph to grow than lettuce. A friend of mine tried, failed first, then planted spinach in different solution with RO filtered water,and succeeded.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Rodolph Farah Good morning, thank you for watching. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have in regards to growing kale in the system, ask away ! I would also like to thank you for the tip on growing spinach, we will have to give it a try.

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

How hard was it to get started with your CSA? I am currently only doing farmers markets but I have had a few folks ask about it? I will try to remember to give you a shout out on one of my upcoming videos. More people need to see this operation! Love the accent, is it Minnesota? lol Chuck

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Fensterfarm Greenhouse we do a 60 family csa, it's getting your reputation built up that takes the longest. And planning. Oh, and organizing . lol. We are starting ours on Thursday, so I will do a video on that! 😆

[@1Dekun]

hi, do you have a video on how you built your growing system ? i just recently found your channel and I'm really curious how your system is working, never seen and open end like yours is and how your feeding the plants, i have some assumptions but would really like to know more if possible

[@johnentrekin6549]

John of Pam's Urban Garden in Cohutta Ga. Love your vidieos what kind of Muir do you buy an where? Thanks

[@marioperezbaker]

hi what's the size of your Greenhouse how often do you harvest and how much do you harvest

[@Reeves898]

How long are the troughs and how many sites in each one for finishing size and babies

[@amalanathanmiraj8337]

Hi could you please let me know which root conditioner do you use ? Thanks

[@heathslee2234]

I notice you have sticky traps for aphids. Are they a big problem and what other methods of control do you use?

[@nadinefeldmus2450]

When you dip the roots before transplanting do you use full strength Essential? Thanks

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

No, you mix 1 cap full of cease to 1 litre of water. I hope this helps.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Sorry, I meant essential, NOT cease

[@mikegosselin1634]

is the only nutrients you use on your lettuce this stuff Plant-Prod 6-11-31 AND Calcium Nitrate? what about Epsom salt?

[@iwanttogotohawaii11]

Great video. I am starting a small operation here in NC and I would like to know how often you plant to keep a continuous supply?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Roots&Fruits Hi, It depends on how often you harvest. We plant everyday.

[@iwanttogotohawaii11]

+Patti Chalmers let's say I'll harvest once a week for farmers market

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Roots&Fruits so you would basically just re stalk.

[@lkhbhydroponic6858]

Hey guys is there any way to make a video about your great greenhouses.? I'm very interested in how they are built and how they are set up . Thanks greetings from Mongolia

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+lkhanaajav batbaatar Yes, we will work on a construction video for you. It may be later in the season but will definitely do one! ☺

[@lkhbhydroponic6858]

Spring Hill Farms awesome thank you. I'll wait for you video

[@lkhbhydroponic6858]

Hi guys . how big is the red sorrels become? And how long does it take to harvest? Thanks

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+lkhanaajav batbaatar Hi, we actually stopped growing it because the demand wasn't there. It would grow to approx. 4" before we would harvest.

[@jdwinslow4424]

What kind of nutrients do you use?

[@kimstevens2445]

Where did you buy your rails from?

[@TheOntarioGardener]

I cant wait to start up my hydroponic lettuce rails this spring. Where do you get your seed from? |Thanks

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+TheOntarioGardener Hey Jake, we purchase the majority of our seeds through Johnny's and William Dam. How many troughs do you run?

[@TheOntarioGardener]

Spring Hill Farms last year only 12, and this year I want to try for 30-40. I only have 12' wide hoop houses so it is a bit tight. I built them by hand bending the pipe and such, a few years ago before any thought of hydroponics. But I make due :) Still learning.

[@TheOntarioGardener]

Spring Hill Farms I don't have any current videos, but if you search Eagle Valley Produce on Facebook I have pictures there. Not that you have much down time! ☺️

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

TheOntarioGardener I will do that, thanks!

[@oby-1607]

Growing hydroponics the way you do, is it or can it be classified organic? If not, why? We would love to grow the way you are but have to be organic. Thanks.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Miguel S We aren't classified organic but we are herbicide and Pesticide free. we were told that we couldn't register organic here in Ontario. You could contact an organic group in your area and they should have any information you need.

[@samuelfioretto9683]

How do you harvest a row of produce? Is each row detachable?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Samuel Fioretto we have a video of how we harvest called HARVESTING FOR THE SATURDAY FARMERS MARKET. I think it was June 24th that this video went up. It will show you how it is done, if you want to check it out. ☺

[@advancedits7016]

Hi where can i buy this greenhouse

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+ADVANCED ITS We buy our greenhouses through a company called L & R Shelters in southern ontario, Canada

[@piotrfieldsend]

Hi what is the root conditioner you use please

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Piotr Fieldsend It's called essential, you can find it through American Hydroponics.

[@isapsa45]

What is the size of your greenhouse? How do you harvest? I am in Orlando and In the process of starting a raised bed market garden farm I only have a third of an acre but this is very intriguing to me

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Lindell Hughes This greenhouse is 120' x 30' . It's a great system. If you have any other questions at all, please feel free to ask! ☺ Patti

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Lindell Hughes I also forgot to mention that we harvest simply by pulling the troughs out and placing them onto a stand. You can see this technique in other videos we have on our channel.

[@quintonworonchak3532]

Do you replace your water every couple weeks or just top off?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Quinton Woronchak Hello, we do an entire tank change once a month in the winter and every two weeks in the summer.

[@quintonworonchak3532]

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you shut down the whole system and start up again once full? Are you using reverse osmosis water?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Quinton Woronchak Yes, we shut the system down and restart when full. It takes about an hour. We just use regular water, we have excellent spring water here.

[@markg9971]

where does the water run out ...is it re circulating?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+burn or give away you can watch our video on Tuesday which will answer all questions directly to everyone who is asking! ☺

[@markg9971]

Spring Hill Farms ok I will do thanks...also what e.c/ppm strengths...and what type of nutrients.. organic/synthetic?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+burn or give away ec is 1.2 , nutrients are high grade mineral from Plant Products.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Spring Hill Farms it's strictly for hydroponic operations.

[@JavedAli-qk7gg]

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Javed Ali Yes we can do that for you! ☺

[@jameswilson7439]

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+James Wilson The troughs are from American Hydroponics.

[@whatthefunction9140]

Killer bangs eh

[@sh3llbac]

where can i buy a system like this?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+shell bac Good morning, you can purchase this system through Crop King, or check out other channels and see if there is a diy system that best suits you. If you go to Fensterfarm Greenhouse channel, Chuck over there, is in the process of making his own system and he will be doing updates as he goes.☺

[@sh3llbac]

Spring thanks

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+shell bac sorry, they are from American Hydroponics not crop king. Sorry about that.

[@sh3llbac]

Spring Hill Farms thanks
