Wow gorgeous produce! I'm in BC and my peas had 95% failure, carrots same, no strawberries and the corn is about 9" tall...it's not been a great year in my coastal garden (which will be in full drought soon ) :) Really appreciate these youtube videos I don't have funds for the course so - thank you so much! Do you have links for the row covers, etc you use in this video? Will you be talking about cover crops on youtube? I want to make sure I don't miss planting this year :) thanks so much!
Easiest design I have seen yet. Making 3 today
I mean you only need 3 wheat and a crafti- wait, this isn’t Minecraft
Question: I live a mile from the ocean and we often have sudden high wind gusts. Does enough wind go through the material so that it doesn't blow the netting down or away?
Excellent. So I'm just attempting to get my window ac to stay on lower than 62f. Maybe 50f or so. If I understand correctly I can simply do the first part with the light bulb and the temperature controller?
The basic coolbot is now $534cdn and the bits and pieces for your system are approx $125. So over $400 savings. No brainer, thanks for the very clear instructions.
Make the AC temp sensor long enough and throw it outside the room attached to the back of the unit (hot air) and it does the job.
You a tree planter sir? Beautiful parsnips btw!
Im going to avoid the headache of crop rotation by trying straw bale gardening. Going to keep my raised beds & compost what remains of the straw bales at the end of their lives to add back to my raised beds. But… I feel like I’ll be able to experiment with placement and different crops based on how they perform where I put my straw bales. And then either keep going straw bale or build raised beds when I know what does well in each location of my front and back yard
I live in kentucky. I planted the garlic in thr later part of October. I watch the garlic grow long capes and some flowered. Should I harvest now? It is June. Yes, some leave are brown. I don't guess thoughs long flowering scapes I cut off will degrade the taste. What do you think?
My garden doesn't get sun all day, would this result in too much shade and stunt the growth of the plants?
How cold can you go reliably? I want -4F
I live in an area with lots of black walnut trees. They put out jugalone, a hormone that stunts or kills a lot of plants. Containers help me a lot when it comes to potatoes and tomatoes as jugalone kills these outright. Now if the squirrels wouldn't bury the nuts of the trees in my containers this would be a perfect system.
You apparently to grow your vegetables in very large soil blocks. How do you form them?
so when the temp controller (2) that goes between the fins turns off to cut the power to the temp conroller thats hooked up to the lights (1), are the settings on the temp control 1 just remembered when it turns back on?
Crop rotation prevents disease, like club root. Blight. Etc.
Everybody knows is all you have to do is put up a window with the screen towards the garden next to an open door frame and open the window. Because everybody knows an insect eill die trying to get through the screen even with an open door next to it. And with all that stuff you have how do pollinators pollinate your vegetables?.
I love your video. We did hook up our AC just like yours but it seems to not be functioning well. Can you show picture of your inkbirds settings?
Just popped up on my feed and it's perfect timing as my onions are starting to flop over now.
Awesome show
Could anybody provide me with the exact settings of the HD and CD differences on both of your controllers? I’m still having issues freezing up.
I enjoy his video shorts so much!
This is inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Wow... this is cool
Science power! Great could be to try determinate and undeterminate kinds of potatoes. interesting, what the results could be
What is meant by a unique gap?
Excellent, thanks.
Great video and clean build. My only concern with using galvanized metal is the leftover chemical film from the quenching process. Just be sure to rinse the metal off with water before filling. Happy gardening!
Kind of hard to see your loops guy
I'm wondering if you've had any problems with the system running it a couple days on a row, is the temperature is maintained even when the ac is defrosting?
Seems like a really late time to snap off those garlic scapes. Like if you're going to eat them that's good, but if you're really focused on bulb size wouldn't it be a good idea just to snap it or clip it off right as you see it so it doesn't put any energy at all?
how do you bundle them on a string
Thank you‼️THANK YOU ❣️❣️❣️ ⁉️What about a walk in freezer...any thoughts❓❓
How do you control humidity levels? My wife is a florist and wants to build a similar setup (requires 90% humidity)
Couldn't you use something like an arduino or raspberry pi? You probably get away with a single device.
Yeah and you could skip the light bulb altogether and just output the required signal. The only question is whether the electronics are rated for the freezer room's temperature and humidity
Very well explained -congratulations. It seems that you aren't affected by rust - which complicates the calculation. Interesting too that you aren't harvessting till August - does this mean you've a very long winter season? Our October-sown garlic (UK, equivalent to 9b) seldom make it into the second half of June before being clapped out, and I'm about to dig our 2024 crop at the end of May.
Such an amazing video, you provide tremendous content! Thanks!
I've been researching a way to hull those sunflowers too, here's hoping either one of us succeeds and shares! Great Video thanks!
Thanks for this video. Can you tell about the dried green peas on your shelf?
You should also check out Hullless pumpkin seed varieties to get pepitates
What temp do you keep your cold storage set at? Would a refrigerator suffice?
3.5ºC or 38ºF
Yes! I hang my onions AND garlic like this to cure for 3-4 weeks depending on the humidity.

After you've selected the crops you want to grow, you'll need a master plan that organizes them in your garden at the right place at the right time. Head to my FREE WORKSHOP for an introduction to the time-based garden planning technique we use. www.vegetableacademy.com/yt-freeworkshop
My daughters went together and bought a couple 3.5’x 5’ by 17” tall, metal, raised gardens for this past Mother’s Day. I removed sod and leveled a 10’x 20’ area with a shovel, rake and wheelbarrow ( I’m nearly 60, female ) have gotten one filled and ready to go and the other one is built, positioned and ready to be filled, I need to dig a lot of soil from my back field to help fill the second one. I’m in zone 5 , really pleased to have found this video, so informative, finally after about 25 to 30 videos, I’ve got a workable plan! Thank you so much for this information!
By far the best and simplest design I've come across. Thank you for sharing.
I've learned that a lot of your root crops (carrots, beets, potatoes, salsify, parsnips, etc.) can be left in the ground over winter, and harvested fresh, with a thick layer of mulch over them to protect them from freezing all throughout the winter months. This type of cold storage allows the starches, within the vegetables, to turn to sugar, making them sweeter when harvested.
True. This works in some regions, and we can pull this off with parsnips, but everything else freezes hard during our cold winters and turns to mush when it thaws in spring.
@@VegetableAcademy I've been doing the deep mulch system for over 5 years, here on the Cumberland plateau in central Tennessee. I recently watched a video by Derrick and Paula from Ontario, Canada who are now doing the same thing, with success. Their channel is "Back To Reality". As Derrick mentioned, a thicker layer of mulch would be better.
I like a lot your videos Love from spain
Unfortunately "room temperature" where I live in central California is significantly higher than your 60-70 F in your basement. Our daytime high can still reach 99F on October 31st. Also virtually everything here built since 1965 is on a slab foundation. The most recent house I've seen with a basement was built in the 1940s. Fun to see all you do though. 😊
I told you the temperatures at which we store these crops without refrigeration, but that doesn't mean they won't keep at warmer temperatures. For example, the sunflower shelf life study that I referenced tested their raw sunflower seeds at a storage temperature of 100ºF in bulk paper packaging and showed that they maintained their quality for 52 weeks. Don't count yourself out just because it's a bit warmer in your region.
Where is your wheat mill from? I am looking for one thank you 👍
We bought ours used. It's called a Magic Mill Plus Grain Mill. If you search for that online, I'm sure you'll come across something.
