I’m also wondering if you could go into some specs detail with John at Wise Earth Farm about his wash/pack station that you did a video on a few months back. I’ve done some research myself, but wondering if he could provide specs and sources for things like: Farrowing crate panels that he uses for his tables and how he built the frames for those tables; his color coded whiteboard. Those are what I’m specifically interested in. I bet others have similar questions and maybe want specs on other aspects of his pack house. And maybe if he would have done something different as well or if he likes as is.

Greetings from Ireland I hope you are well, and thanks for the amazing content so far both on the website, on youtube and in your book they have all helped me so much in planning and setting up my market garden. I was wondering if you would be able to do some content around soil nutrient testing and pH testings and what equipment you and others use to test as well as soil improvers and conditioners such as fertilizers, products for altering pH and the use of mycorrhiza for optimizing yields.
I wonder if JM’S soil was already too good to show any sizable increase in production or even too good to show signs of soil structure improvements. Maybe im wrong but what info is available online about soil mycorrhiza seems the more more variety of microorganisms u have in your soil the more nutritionally dense you crops may become and with time soil structure allowing deeper root penetration.
I don’t think so. The original soil there was pretty bare and rocky.
I had been wondering what the outcome of the compost tea was on JM Fortiers farm had been. Interesting to hear that he no longer uses the system after such a short while of using it. I would be very interested if you could ask him what his expectations from the system where (production wise) and what they turned out to be for him to not use the system anymore.
From what I have seen, the outcome wasn’t great. However, I will be back there this summer so I will follow up.
i would love to here more on bar codes. how you get it on the ql 700. thanks a lot brother
Yes, I could save this one for one of our “subject videos”. It’s very simple.
Was the water for soil testing, distilled water?
Yes, distilled water. Thank you.
