This Transplanter Takes Farming to the Next Level: Team Planting in Action!

[@oldsarj]

Now this is what I wanted to do back when I was a 'kid' reading the Whole Earth Catalog. This shows how old I am. Now, I just don't think the body will take it but what a great way to farm!

[@victorbenner539]

I really like what your currently doing on your vids. It's really great to see what others are doing because just about everyone has a slightly different situation and this current way of doing vids do exactly what most new farmers need to know. Keep up the great work. And I'm curious like some of the others as to why they paper pots can't be certified.

[@erikmilburn51]

The paper pot transplanter looks like a great innovation.Can you get them delivered worldwide Curtis?...im in Australia.Or do they have an agent for this in other countries?

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Yes. But there's a guy who distributes them down there.

[@nicholasmorris3786]

We discovered right from the beginning with our Paperpot transplanter that having a partner really speeds things up. Only thing more efficient is training your children to help because they are closer to the ground! As for getting rid of the chains whatever is left on top after I power harrow I burn off when I torch the bed. Sometimes when you are pulling the previous crop the chains come right out nice but if they don’t I just leave them. After the harrow hits them they are all about 2 inches long and not an issue.

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

1. Can you make paper pots that are more than 6in apart? 2. Does the machine do curves? I am asking because edible landscaping will sometimes involve designs that are curved and not just straight lines.

[@SARJENT.]

What type of paper are the pots made from? Could hemp be used?

[@bahaaessam8866]

do you know how can I get Paperpot System Complete Starter to my self in Egypt?? And can you ship for me ? Kindly and thank you so much

[@stevehughes594]

how much space do i need to allocate at the end of the beds to fit the paperpot transplanter?

What should your pricing be for an Farmer like you to sell there Product at

[@sdfft820]

Curtis Honestly tell me, does this paper pot transplanter need smooth seedbed to work right because we have lumpy seedbeds and we don’t want to invest $ in something that will fail

[@jenniferedwards176]

Hi Curtis. Love your stuff. Awesome information with very little unecessary gabble. I am curious, however. How does the paperpot planter work with landscape cover matetial? Or is the use of row covers not something you do anymore? Thanks Jen

[@offgridcurtisstone]

In short, it doesn't.

[@zeplandfarms4743]

I have a PDR no power Harrow. The Paper Pot won't get tangled up in the PDR will it when getting ready for a new planting?

[@nateypecks]

I'm just getting started with the paperpot system. One thing I would love to see is wider spacings. If there's impetus to make the pots bigger, wider spacings would be more than welcome as well I should think.

[@renechevalier-exklusivezau6240]

... just use every other cell, in stead of all. if you use the seed dropper, then put some tape diagonally

[@bahaaessam8866]

[@mattvardal29]

Super helpful video, Curtis. We started doing double duty on the paper pot days to clean up and sweep after planting but this takes it a step further. Is he mixing the baby onion varieties at seeding time?

[@waylonbreaux2366]

BTW, the guy at Neversink Farm designed and built a tool just for coming behind the paper pot and pulling up the dirt onto the chain after it's planted

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Neversink? Never heard of it ;)

[@technicalstatus241]

How make paper pot

[@jessicaalger2268]

Can this be used to plant flower seedlings? Or just vegetables?

[@oliverviertmann499]

What is the problem with the paper pot and organic certification? Is there a non-biodegradable glue in the pots or what's the issue?

[@contuitus]

Yes. The glue...

[@fouroakfarm]

Organic standards are ridiculous and more about rigid dogma and paper pushing than actually farming in a sustainable/conscious way

[@DiegoFooter]

It's the way that the NOP rules are written. Current ruling states that paper has to be recycled to be used in organic production and this paper isn't recycled. Once it passes the paper test, then it would move on to ingredients like glue. Glue isn't the primary issue.

[@oliverviertmann499]

@@DiegoFooter thanks for the reply Diego. Are there technical reasons for this or is there just no supplier for paper pots made out of materials that qualify for cerified organic? If so, do you have a partner to develop paper pots that meet certified organic requirements?

[@joelcaldwell1646]

I always thought paper is pretty much organic. Is it the chemicals that process the cellulose? Would be nice to have a source of organic paper.

[@akim2007p]

Onion sounds interesting. What kind of onion it is? Is it usual storage onion just harvested earlier?

[@jfreshtrader2822]

One great video I got a lot from this looking forward to the follow up videos

[@jackxital]

very inspiring! nice to have numbers! so no 4point seeder after paperpot but is the jang ok?

[@fred1382]

This kicks butt! Fantastic invention.

[@robinleslie8066]

Wow lady does hard work great keep it up.. some men don't even work that hard😂.. paper pot transplanter is definitely a great invention :)

[@qstarke]

What's the feasibility of having a Paper Pot Transplanter that does multiple rows in one pass like a large one that spans the bed and does 4-5 rows?

[@motters234]

and a goat puller

[@ZrubekFamily]

They make one that does two rows

[@DiegoFooter]

Possible, but would have to be toolbar mounted.

[@MrFarmer1997]

Knew he had to be german!;) after a week of decomposing after harvest, does the jang have any trouble pushing through the paper pots? I would guess not. I plan to do a lot of transplants next year, and may put the paperpot on the investment list for 2020. Thanks for the great content.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Not at all.

[@enriquegutierrez4591]

Great video! What is the trelissed crop on their farm, it looks fantastic!

[@smde1]

I am assuming that it is cucumbers. That is how we grow them and we are less than 240 km from Kelowna.

[@earlgood6777]

that would be the glue that seals the pot together

[@CustomGardenSolutions]

Mr. Obvious here, maybe the paper can be made of something that is more biodegradable and maybe even provide nutrients that can be left behind in the soil. If so maybe the nutrient options can vary depending on what is required. It would be good for the farmers and good for Curtis's business.

[@purplehayse88]

CustomGardenSolutions mushrooms?

[@WrekWarship]

Haha i like the basic metallica shirt 👍 cool video for sure.

[@deinse82]

That's a great observation, Curtis: when hiring people, you're paying 100% tax, easy. When hiring a robot or tech, you're only paying taxes on the profit...if you even choose to make a profit (which, why would you). So this "government for the people" is the main driver for shutting people out of jobs.

[@charliehobson33]

in your opinion, do you think the glue an issue for the soil?

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Not at all. It's the same glue that's in paper bags. I only make that comment based on my observation and the fact that I haven't seen any evidence that says it's harmful.

[@charliehobson33]

yeah, maybe the standards will catch up

[@whatisgoingonineedtoknow.]

I have witness these glue film bits in my composted soil. I guess it's from the cardboards I put in there, I don't think it does brake down. Just like plastic it will just changes to smaller and smaller particles but it's still there.

[@kenbennett9818]

The glue is corn starch based. Absolutely no danger in it whatsoever. That's why uncolored/unwaxed cardboard can be used on organic certified farms.

[@johnnygreenfarmer1132]

@@kenbennett9818 Is the corn starch made with non GMO corn ? Is GMO an issue here ? Also when sheet layering cardboard you are required to remove the clued on tape before using it .

[@VastCNC]

Lee Valley Rock Rake or a Clam rake may pull the chains up.

[@matthewstiffler1939]

Hey Curtis I thought I might be able to reach you via your most recent post. A video you did a week ago which was titled there's something on my mind you brought up Alex Jones and the censorship and how even showing people how to make money off of the land could be wrong speakeventually someday maybe, I was wondering if you've ever heard of the unslaved podcast one of the guys is actually stationed in Vancouver I do believe. so just wondering if you've ever heard of them because they cover some risque topics and also some alternative history as well, trust me I also have my reserved feelings about Michael tsarion and for the most part I think he's a interesting character and a very well-researched individual just wondering if you've ever heard of the unslaved podcast good day Curtis and thank you for all that you do much love

[@bigmichael21]

Why are the paper pots keeping them from staying organic? What’s the issue?

Glue in the paper pots, according to some comment I read... 😊

Paper/cardboard glues are corn starch based. There is no environmental concern from the glues whatsoever.

[@johnnygreenfarmer1132]

Have you verified that ?

[@johnnygreenfarmer1132]

Hmmmmmmm corn starch .... made with GMO corn .... maybe that is why is not acceptable !

[@mdsalimmiah4409]

helloo bro

[@stevo5794]

lost me at lost his organic label

[@johnnygreenfarmer1132]

The glue and possibly the wax used in paper pot manufacturing is a man made material and is not acceptable to organic certifying agencies. So this grower has decided to give up his organic certification to save his back.

[@honestlee3435]

you lost me when you dropped organic.
