    Absolutely love the behind the scene. What do you amend with otherthan cow manure? How much space between rows, how do you get that raised center, is that just a single tape to water that row, how many plants, tubers to fill 1/16th acre, what kind of yield do you expect? So many questions and whst typr of tractor do i need & extras for the tractor... think i just need to come be your helper for a week😂

    Hey there just found this video. Super helpful to see the whole process! What made you decide to use plastic mulch instead of landscape fabric? Can you comment on cost and having to rebuy every year and plastic waste? Thanks!!

  • @twosistersflowerfarm

    @twosistersflowerfarm

    Жыл бұрын

    I believe in using what you have available to you and that plastic mulch layer was something that my grandparents already had so it made sense to us. 💛 And even though the plastic is single use, the money we save from irrigation for instance (the plastic mulch has much better water retention) means that cost wise- we actually save money. This is just our experience though- always do what works best for you.

    You can pre sprout them in pots if it's the tubers they eat. I'm in Ireland so we need to pre grow our tubers for a couple months indoors as our growing season isn't warm/long enough otherwise. You can do the same if you have a greenhouse/polytunnel.
