going to be uploaded.

very cool stuff, i hope it spreads. from what i’ve heard it’s hard to get a
school to allow those natural farming techniques, chemical companies
threaten to pull donations/etc

Another excellent video, John. Thanks for coming out & giving an insightful
tour of our farm. Another point of interest perhaps for some people, the
structure of the hoop house shown @ the 12:00 minute mark, is that included
in its’ construction are metal wires running from the metal tubing framing,
down to a metal stake / rod driven fairly deeply into the earth as a safety
precaution for lightning. Transfers electricity from metal frame to earth
in case of lightening strike. No fried people

He uses a lot of re-usable clips but also just have a trellis and train the
plant up aka weave it through the holes and it’ll usually stay.

I didn’t meant compost is the same as synthetic fertilizers. Compost is
decomposed organic matter for soil amendment. I was just criticizing jhon
for his use of the word chemical.

All matter are chemicals. Synthetic fertilizers are exactly the same
fertilizers on compost. Stop the missinformation. But compost is great!

Same problem in the past. Do you have an area for the squirrels to get
water? They will often eat veggies for the water content. Once i made a 6′
fence to keep them out and it seemed to work. I don’t think that ground
squirrels or chipmunks like being exposed that high above the ground. Also
provide nesting sites for predatory birds if that is a viable or desirable
option. I fear that since your rodents are already climbing the fence, they
might just go higher. I will cage my heirloom tomatoes.

Hey John, I love your videos and have learned a lot of great info from your
channel. So THANK YOU! Ive been reading around, and saw a few articles that
state most plants in the brassica family dont form a symbiotic relationship
with mycorrhizae. Therefor it doesnt have a benefit when using mycorrhizae
with broccoli ect. My question is have you heard this before? and if so is
this only limited to mycorrhizae or do the plants not benefit from other
bennies such as trichoderma and bacillus ect?
