I love that wire weeder! Perfect for my home garden, even though it is a little slow for the market farming

[@harperkarsyn7402]

you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@jamalforest1993]

@Harper Karsyn Instablaster :)

[@harperkarsyn7402]

@Jamal Forest thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@harperkarsyn7402]

@Jamal Forest It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@jamalforest1993]

@Harper Karsyn happy to help =)

[@nutrientdensefarmstefanlin5007]

the plastic mulcher from earth tools works really good as long as your soil is prepped adequately, (very loose/well tilled), didn't work well on my permanent beds where there was more compacted soil on the walkways

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

@5:45. I think those dribbler wheels work good. I tried them on a farm by me behind a tractor with a fish emulsion and water combination. We could quickly and efficiently transplant rows

[@abulkalamk..8185]

hey God always good for you

[@jeremycarey2772]

Jean-Martin is a Lean thinker.

[@genesoler7357]

You guys are awesomely inspiring. Wish you offered your courses in the Philippines. Cheers to you all.

[@IllinoisElohainu]

Love love love these vids so much!

[@ianpenaflorida7770]

What is that sprayer on the cart? I need that in my life ASAP!

[@VastCNC]

I would love to see some in focus trials of the twobadcats wire weeders here, will you be testing them out on Green City Acres?

[@MrMcSleeps]

Curtis, have you tried a 3 row Jang, or are you considering it? Seeing how JM and Excelsior are making use of it is intriguing, but I suppose you are now PP transplanting almost everything. Just curious of your thoughts on this, given your context. Thanks!

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Yes, I'll be getting it for next season, but making it a 5-row.

[@MrMcSleeps]

Right on, we just got a JP-1 but I'm already looking forward to the 3(+2)row when we can afford it. Thanks and it'll great to hear your experience with it when the time comes.

[@fiveleafchocolate9025]

@@MrMcSleeps With the man hours you’ll save, the question could be, can you afford not to get it?

[@MrPreparanoid]

What kind of flame weeder does J.M. Use and like? Couldn't see it very well.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

The triple Jang seeder makes me wonder if a triple paper pot transplanter would be possible\practical.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

It would be, but it would be very heavy and hard to move without a tractor.

[@ZrubekFamily]

There is a double paper pot transplanter. But yeah, very heavy

[@maggielovesgoats]

I want to know what that broadfork like tool was on the wall next to the hoes. It had short handles, and three tines spaced very far apart, just another broadfork design or perhaps one for children? (could get on board with that!)

[@nathanjetten2048]

So my garden is quite full of weed seeds, but i have little experience transplanting and im trying to figure out if i should get the paper pot transplanter or use fabric i hope to get a flame weeder What should i do? thanks

[@ChocolateMilkyYummy]

cool song

[@constancelovejoy7308]

How can we get the tools u don’t use & need as a donation to our community garden? 😊

[@moneybags179]

Cool tool shed \ Man cave

[@yohjokromwood2327]

love it

[@MicroUrb]

This will come off a bit random, but I can't wait until I can live off MicroUrb full-time. In this world we can get to talk about tools to improve our craft. In the world of working for others, we have to deal with bullshit like being interviewed for a job, but HR knows there is a hiring freeze, the lack of wages going up in the past 20 years like here in the U.S. and stock buybacks as a form of increasing the value of the company, but no real value being offered to the consumer and so on ad nauseam.

[@GAMEDOG1972]

Hey reach out

[@markemmanuelrodriguez532]

Who makes JM Fortier's jacket?

[@lightdark00]

A triple seeder seeds five times faster? Wouldn't it be three times faster? 🤔

[@GradyHouger]

He may be speaking of time as a sensation and not a measurement.

[@MrMcSleeps]

I think it could actually be five times as fast when you start to consider time to turn around at the ends of beds and how you need less time to worry about spacing between rows. Excelsior farm is using the same for greens but crammed 5 head onto it, 2 passes to get 10 rows of greens

[@billyfuelrider]

lightdark00 think your splitting hairs?

[@rexlandings7708]

How funny... that was the first thing that went though my head too :-)

[@jonathanlelubre8123]

Curtis what do you think of JM's opinion about the Paperpot transplanter (not using it because of the acetone)?

[@offgridcurtisstone]

+Jonathan Lelubre he doesn't use it because certified organic in Quebec doesn't allow it. If they did, he'd use it in a heart beat. We've discussed it many times.

[@edj306]

How well did the manual plastic mulch layer work? Neither of you actually gave an answer to that.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Works well if you like plastic mulch. Neither of us like plastic mulch. We use landscape fabrics.

[@edj306]

Thank you for the quick reply.

[@elaineekberg113]

He didn't mention the manufacturer of the walk behind tractor that was out in the field. :(

[@tommathews3964]

He's BCS all the way on walk behind tractors. Joel at Earth Tools (Kentucky, USA), he mentions when discussing the black plastic layer attachment is the biggest distributor and most knowledgeable person I know of on the subject.

[@lettersandnumbersuc]

@3:48 he's holding up the horns.... hmmm.

[@rexlandings7708]

WOW... would have REALLY liked to see more of the tools he's actually using and talk about them in a little more detail. He mentions some too a couple of times while you guys were inside but you never went to it to talk about it. Seem's like it should have been a little more of What's in Jean-Martin's Tool Shed that He Doesn't Use Anymore.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

+Rex Landings either way, you probably would of watched it ;)

[@rexlandings7708]

hahhahhaha.. maybe. I guess I've gotten so spoiled with where you've gotten in your film content that I was disappointed when Jean-Martin mentions is passing a couple tools he REALLY uses and more time ended up being talked about the tools he hasn't used yet or doesn't use. That's all :-)

[@paulhails1864]

THat's a lot of money spent trying different equipment, I have been burned in the past purchasing and being unhappy with the new tool. Thanks, rather you buy it first.

[@nineallday000]

Any more information on the sprayer that he talked about in the video at 1:40? Have been searching for ages and can't seem to find anything about it without knowing the brand name or even what that type of sprayer would be called. Thanks!

[@nineallday000]

Still looking for more information about the sprayer!

[@joansmith3492]

were did he get the wire weeder?

[@user-xd2by2yl6q]

Is it schadenfreude to see someone else's castoffs and money losses which save you from not going down that road?

[@acoatofgold5627]

Nope, I'm consuming all of his and curtis' videos/books to get started in a couple of years.

[@user-xd2by2yl6q]

You're as organized as your mind. I'm guessing he has a mathematics background.

[@acoatofgold5627]

His degree is in agricultural biology/organic agriculture, I'm not the best at French. - Jacob אליאל בן-דן
