Thank you for sharing this on youtube. I'm a home gardener and when I read your book, I realized I needed to make changes in my growing. Your book made me realize that I could grow more diversity and more plantings for extended harvests... and that I ought to figure out what we actually eat so that I'm using what I grow. A year ago, I let my land rest. During that time, I went over some scattered notes over a 15 year period.... combined with what you've taught.... and now I'm trying to really refine my planning. It's been challenging. I have a lot more to learn and document. But, your book and youtube videos have been helpful.

I've been a follower for a year and a half. I finished reading your book (cover to cover) last month. I fell asleep after a double shift today and woke up to a notification that this video was posted today. I looked at the time and the date, and IMMEDIATELY ran to the site. I haven't done more than scan through the content since finishing logging in, but WOW, the amount of content on there is absolutely remarkable!

Great diy low tunnel I did this year.. rebar and 1 inch pvc perfectly covers 2 beds and is even cheaper. Great way to save on startup cost.

It's actually much more about temperature than day length, that's why it's faster in the green house even without lighting.

Your spreadsheet, is that available for folks to use? I’m just getting started

I recall this from the longer video. It is a good refresher. One new question, and I might put it in fromthefield.com also. Would you ever consider low tunnels inside of high tunnels, or caterpillar tunnels? North Carolina 7b.

Just found your channel. Can you actually make a good living doing urban farming? Been considering a career change out of the tech field due to stress and looking at options.
