Great tip thank you!!

I wish I had heard this tip last year.

Be careful. Wasp lay eggs on horn worms. I relocate horn worms with wasp eggs.

And dill is fughindelicious. Dill aside from being a trap crop is also an insectary for the same reasons

@@Tsadie1 wasps are good to have around. Just don't mess around with thier nests unless you are prepared. Lemon grass oil in a sock on a pole is usefull if you need to knock them out. Generally if the nest isn't in a place children will likely to be around i leave them to thier buisness. They will take care of more problems than they cause. I do respect that you move their larvae. That shows great charachter.

thats amazing, I live in a small town but we have terrible teens that like to smash things =(

@@haywardurbangarden7153 Wow....that is awesome. Where? Not specifically....but "where abouts" is the geographic location. I would love to do this.....but wonder just where is the "right" location. .....Side note....I started separating my numerous perinneals last season. Sold them for $5 potted, honor system. Made a few bucks. Winter hit.....I had a few Iris bulbs left. Told a responder on my FB Marketplace post to stop by and get them (the bulbs ONLY no charge) ..... however .... he/she took like all the bulbs and at least a dozen pre-potted plants I had ready to sell this upcoming spring. So how do people trust? There are such dishonest people out there.

@@kimlittleton4943 Post a couple of trail cameras that will catch faces and license plates and/or bluff with one of those $5 'Smile You're On Camera' signs from Harbor Freight. If the maintenance men in my building come to work on anything in my home I post 2 - one on the back of my front door and another that faces outside, but you can see the writing on the reverse when you enter on my balcony slider. I live on a low set 2nd floor balcony.

@@haywardurbangarden7153 what color teens

@@saydeeenward9055 bruh why do you care?

I thought I was the only one that noticed☺

And Popeye arms

Sterling Gafford ooo, good call! Definitely need Popeyes arms

And lots of money.... You know how you can make a million dollars raising cattle? Start with 10 million.....

@@ronmaxim8009 you know what the farmer said that won a million in the lottery when asked what he was planning to do now? "Keep farming till its gone" haha...many good'ol anecdotes about farming and the capital costs associated. I cam assure you while we may be well resourced I don't run any business to lose my investment - even if its not necessarily there to provide me with my primary income. The assets accrued, equipment, land improvements, buildings, kitchen and retail/mercantile equipment and fixtures. The long term value of owning the land unencumbered, etc. I have already been repaid almost my entire initial iinvestment and it currently operates on its own positive cash flow...and I'm entirely self-made having started my first blue collar business 22, almost 23 years ago with $1000.00. I think after 23 years of 60+ hour weeks performing blue collar work building my own businesses. And after 22 years as an employer in those same enterprises I've earned the right to start a farm or any other business with ample capital. And as a for-profit farm and retail Farm Store it will turn profit and provide free cash flow or it won't make sense to operate it. Sustainable agriculture and sustainable farms must first be sustainable businesses - if it loses money I'd be better off buying the property to ride dirt bikes with my kids

Weaver Acres Farm I grow cannabis as well great money earner

I know right! I watched a few videos and I went out back and started pulling stuff up and throwing them away. I'm starting all over!

And how I wish I were there to build it. Huge túnel with grape vines above for shade and some nice concrete benches throughout that were appealing aesthetically and artistic.

@@davincimen4495 Its really will be great job and the best step by far!!

Maybe some large potted trees every 6-10 feet and customers can stroll from one naturally shady spot to the next. Once covid is in the past and the store is going, these can be moved anywhere. Dwarf fruit trees would be nice.

@@chrisholley3410 we never participated in covid. It’s mostly optional and for the parts that aren’t optional it’s our duty to resist tyranny

There are a bunch of farms in Cary!

im in RDU to looking for land for farm

It's a LOT of work

You fell in love with a guy, so sweet

@@rickydicky5889 I mean did you see the dude's forearms!?!?!

@@MiroBG359 They look pretty normal to me for a guy that does work with his hands.

I think I would love to work alongside him on his farm. 🤔 Farming is hard work.

@@MiroBG359 честно, тоя пич изпитва "оргазъм" докато работи в градината ;)

You say you ran a farm so I take it you do not anymore .. any reason why if so ??? Is it a tough way to make a buck or overhead too much or ...???

@@derekfreeman1505 I was in another country and had immigration issues haha p

I swear that the people who didn't buy parsnips either hadn't tried one or needed a recipe. I'd have spent the $26 just on parsnips.

Shyam Kadari Not really...demand skyrocketed

Amen, I can't agree with you more on this! I think it's INCREDIBLE to continue on and providing local food💕

Thanks Kevin!

You both have inspired me beyond words. Thanks is not enough!

Josh is a lier ,weaver acres it’s called,it’s an easy 2 acres being cultivated.why not just be honest.

@@meganmclaughlin9056 It's also not a farm. It's a store which sells everybody elses produce with gardens as decoration. It's also an unsustainable business which is still under construction with no profits.

@@christopherkozura9389 how do you know all that

What do you farm?

Agreed. I'm getting my feet wet in my area and between the irrigation, netting, fabric, houses and everything else you can't help but wonder what kind of funding they had to get it all installed up front

Exactly what I was wondering...what’s his overall overhead costs??? Highly doubt he’s anywhere near being in the black.

He managed to maintain An 1acre of land successfully, don't ask that question, period!

Obviously he spent money to get started, but hes set now, and doing an outstanding job. You can do it cheaper sure! There are programs the government will help you pay for a high tunnel. Look into it if you're interested. I saw a video a while back where a couple paid $1700 for a $13k high tunnel through the program. There are regulations you have to follow though.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

It's not "absurd". Having alot of acres is normal to gain profits. Farmers have to break even because they are paying off the mortgage and other expenses.

100% agree with all your feedback. Love hearing stories like this in farming/homesteading/grow your own food - and don't hear enough of them. Thanks Josh Sattin!

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Nice! They are doing an outstanding job.

You're welcome. It's always awesome for me to share these farms and farmers. Thanks for watching!

There is a book called 3 acres, it was about this being the ideal amount of land needed to be self sustaining.

CSa?

My favorite is Ten Acres Enough. A very detailed account by a man in 1830sh who moves from the city and starts his own homestead. It’s free on line. Guy is a great note taker on what worked and what he spent and earned. Pretty decent narrative read. And not super long. Was a major bestseller of the day.

Check out the Vegetable Pathology Factsheet on Southern Bacterial Wilt of Tomato published by NC State - if you Google that it should pop right up. They've done pretty extensive work on the soil-borne bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum - spread by the damage cause by the insect and transmitted by the insects themselves once crops are infected - and it can certainly overwinter in a variety of conditions by a number of vectors. We will switch to a bag-culture as a side-by-side comparison next season and grow a full crop beside the native soil grown crop and will see for sure. Definitely will be adding perimeter drains - no NRCS monies have been applied for here so I'm not familiar with their requirements

@@weaveracresfarm6584 I think we kill most pathogens during our cold winters up here in Indiana but not down south where you-all are growing.

Ah, not enough winter! I'm in cool, upland hawai'i, 40-60 degrees Alohas

Yeah because he wants more competition...

Thanks! Check out Bear Creek Organic. They are in MI and put what I do to shame. They're at the top of the market garden game in the US - they might very well be #1 in revenue for the acreage in the country if you exclude hydroponic operations. In a very cold climate you want a larger air volume in greenhouses for easier climate management

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

He knows within he feels he can always do better evennif its great thats a gardner grower

Ha! Thanks, the Google Street view car came by at an awful time for the whole property, farm and landscaping - I know the image of which you speak 😬

The real way to a farmers heart is to compliment their comedy 🤣🤣🤣

😂

He must be a drummer... Or single.. Lol

yes! soil blocking is one way i know to use

Just refers to the main building being centered to as much as possible so all the tools, wash-pack, refrigeration and ultimately the store is equidistant to either end of the production areas. I have 20+ years in the horticultural fields including agriculture, ornamental horticulture, pest management, and production management so this isnt something one would normally expect to learn in their first couple years- this is also one of several businesses I own

@@weaveracresfarm6584 wow! That’s amazing. What a privilege it would be to work alongside someone of your experience and knowledge.

"Hub and spoke model" means he's not really running a farm. It means he's running a retail farmstand selling other people's stuff and using a vegetable garden as landscaping. If you think you can make any money gardening on small acreage, run the numbers on how much lettuce it takes to achieve $100,000.

@@christopherkozura9389 how many farms have you had? Or managed? Or been a farm hand on? What kind of educational background do you have in that area? I need to know why anyone should listen to your or think you're credible at all? You just sound like a hater with a personal vendetta against this guy.
