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

[nutrientdensefarmstefanlin]

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

[genesoler]

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

[ianpenaflorida]

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

[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!

[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?

[MrPreparanoid]

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

[nathanjetten]

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

[jonathanlelubre]

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

[kirstenwhitworth]

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

[constancelovejoy]

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

[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!)

[edj]

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

[lightdark]

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

[nineallday]

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!

[elaineekberg]

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

[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.

[rexlandings]

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.
