are health food stores profitable


alright, this is john kohler of growingyourgreens.com, today i've got another episode for you; i'm traveling, i'm here in warrenvermont; i think. almost standing in the middle of nowhere and i have no idea of where i am,i followed my gps to get here and where i'm at is the kingsbury market garden and theysell their produce through csa, the muddy boots csa and some other csa's as well asthe local outlets. the reason i'm here today is to show you guys a different kinda farmor garden that i usually visit because this is a commercial operation driven by profitsto make money, because if the owner aaron doesn't make a living, he can't pay us more,you know all this kinda stuff. so, i want to show you guys some of his growing practicesthat allow him to be successful; whether you

want to have your own farm, be successfulor whether you're just a home gardener, you can gain knowledge from this information toadjust what you're doing, so that you can be as successful as aaron. one of the first things i want to talk aboutis the fertility that he brings to the land here: its next to a river, with silty andsandy soil, that's definitely not optimal but he has being bringing and adding fertilitythrough local and inexpensive resources, to build fertility at the lowest cost so he cankeep his profit's up. so that's what i want to show you guys first, what he uses to fertilizeand add nutrients to his garden. so let's go ahead and check it out, i think we've gotsome piles right over here. so, this is the

fertility that he uses primarily, right? hewants to get local resources and use them on the farm here, so that there's minimalcost for his imports. one number one is actually the wood chips, the wood chips gets dumpedhere by abreast, that need to get rid of them and normally would dump them. in the oldendays, there is an area actually over near the farm where people just dump the chipsand they'll just build up and build up overtime, and they'll actually just harvest the welldecomposed wood chips for a good fungal rich compost. so he continues to add wood chipsfor this fungal activity, but also for the cabin that the wood chips contain. now moreof them are just the wood chips, another thing that he uses; that actually, we don’t haveany piles of is actually the chicken manure's.

that stuff would stink and he said its compostedchicken manure, so we don't have any raw stuff to show you, that's two; and so the you'vegot the cabin sauce, you've got the nitrogen sauce and the manure, then you've got thissauce right here, and this is the stuff that he's banking on and really he believes, madea difference in his garden. this stuff is known as the bricks brand (rock dust), byrock dust local which he gets delivered here by under $70 a ton. so he gets a lot of this stuff and he's beingadding this to his soil for the last four years, he's being farming on this propertyfor like five years or something like that. so he's being using it almost from the beginning,and he has seen a difference in his growth,

because the soil is not so fertile and hebelieves by making fertile soil, and from what he's seeing , he's getting higher yieldsand less disease on his land so that it can be more productive and more importantly, moreprofitable. so once he's got this three imports, what he does is he actually combines themover here and there's a parking sign; but obviously, he combines the rock dust hereon top, with the wood chips, with the manure, so it’s all mixed and harmadronized togetherin a compost and then he spreads it out on he's fields, maybe using the fall or somethinglike that. this adds to the fertility, plus he also uses some foliar sprays of *4:02*and some other minerals as needed. epsom salts to add further trace minerals into he's plants,so that they could grow healthy because he's

formally a believer in the power of traceminerals. he believes unlike standard organic farming and garden that "compost is the answer",keep throwing on compost, everything will work itself out. well i have seen challengeswhere just adding compost and compost, especially if it’s good quality compost, can causechallenges and you're not going to get the best growth. he believes that by adding theminerals, the plants are going to be healthy because after walking through some of hisgarden, i could definitely vouch for that because of all the farms and gardens i havevisited in my time in vermont, this one truly looks like the healthiest by far. so whati'm going to do next is to actually walk through and show you guys some of the field's, someof the crops he's growing, how good they look

and the production he's able to achieve herein vermont. so here you guys are seeing a nice coupleof rows of carrots and he really parks this guys in; really tight, tighter than you'llnormally plant carrot's and actually this are some hybrid carrots that's growing reallywell and he's not quite ready to harvest this guy’s yet, but you can still harvest themand pick them. check this guy out; we could pull this guy out of the ground, look at that,that's one nice beautiful carrot. now, he's growing hybrid style carrot and you know althoughhe is certified organic, you know there is an organic standard that says "to be organiccertified, you have to grow minimum: 51% of crops grown with organic seeds, but the other49% or smaller percentage can be from conventional

seed stock, if they are not available organic;so that's what he does. i want to encourage you guys, whether you're a market grower likeaaron here or whether you're a home gardener, you would want to pick the right varietiesbecause growing the right variety of crops can make you or brake you and as much as ilike the heirloom's for certain treats; which are part of our home gardeners, on a commercialscale after talking with aaron, it has become evidence to me that heirlooms are not alwaysthe best crops to grow for him, from the trials that he's done. this carrot here are moreresistant to certain diseases that he would be prone to getting, plus with the rich soil,he doesn't have any diseases on this carrot's, this carrots looks absolutely beautiful. icould vouch, that one sweet, delicious carrot;

i think, it’s the best one i have ever hadin vermont; hey! i think it’s the only carrot i've ever had in vermont. so what we are lookingat now is actually some of the beet's planted next to the carrots, and actually one of thecore thing is; you know, when aaron moved onto this farm and started farming on thisland, he actually couldn't grow beats because they'd get a lot of disease and problems andi'm sure some of you guys out there have problems growing some crops, it just never seems towork. once he started adding the rock dust and building his soil, he didn't have a problemand this beet's look fabulous. this is a soil right here, we could pick thisup, look at that; i mean this is like sand, not very nutritious but he's adding the rightminerals to allow him to do this. now the

other thing about aaron is if you look atthis field next door, you would see his nice huge, big tractor tracks. now as much as iwould like to know a few gardening styles, i want to always let you guys know that theyare pros and cons to every garden method, he uses the tilling method and he has a coupleof three maybe four tractors now, and he really cuts he's labor cost to a minimum becausehe's fully automated. he also is very efficient in how he works, so he has minimal labor workingat this farm with him, and just with a man and a tractor; i just saw him drive off rightnow, almost into the sunset. he's able to manage he's farm with little labor cost. ascompared to farmers i've spoken to, they do the no till and actually their labor costis sky high but because they do no till and

their labor cost is sky high, they are alsomore productive than this maybe; they still make good money. aaron had to keep it simple,he does the tractor, the tillage and continues to add organic matter and the trace meltsin the soil and gets amazing result. so no matter where you guys are at, you guys havegot to figure out what's right for you. now for environmental reasons and for nutrientreasons, i believe still, no tilling is the best but yes, it’s going to be more laborand this comes into play in a big business. when you're trying to run a business and ifyou're at home just gardening, i believe you guys should be doing notes to a garden athome on definitely smaller scales, because it’s a lot easier. anyways, i want to goin now, into one of the hoop-houses here that's

right behind me, and show you guys what he'sgot growing. now, he uses this hoop-houses because i want to remind you guys that weare in vermont, it does rain a lot and some of the peppers and the tomatoes, they don'tlike too much water so they kip the water off of it; plus, they can control the environmentbetter. so it’s warmer inside the hoop-house than outside the hoop-house, the base looksa bit warmer, they also got some tomatoes growing. in addition, this also allows them to startthe season earlier and end a little bit later, due to the covering overhead. once again,i've visited a hand full of farms this trip to vermont, and aaron's stuff looks like thehealthiest, most bountiful; due to his practices

so, they must be working. but if we walk downthis row here, you guys just see a lot of greeny there but i want to get down a little.if you get a little bit lower, if you look a little closely, you guys see all the peppersin there? i mean this thing is loaded up with peppers, i’m scared to say that this pepperplants are more loaded up than my pepper plants. so he's actually growing better peppers thani. i mean this is really impressive, how much yield his able to harvest off each plant,when you give the plant the right nutrition they need. so yea, this whole thing has alot of peppers in these two rows, basil, tomatoes, and let’s goes ahead to the other greenhouseto shear with you guys, the tomatoes. now we’re in the hoop-house with the tomatoesand this plant look like they are super healthy,

super vibrant and once again just come downa little bit. look at this, look at how much yield you get on one tomato plant, growingthe right variety and actually have good nutrition in the soil. i mean, those this look betterthan your tomatoes? that's why aaron's in business and he's doing this day in day outand he's being doing this since his first job. he's first job as a kid was working ata farm, he's growing all this years and he's improving his skills over the years so nowhe could grow healthy plants like this. now, ill let you guys know one of his secretsbesides having good soil, he has this red mulch down here, at the bottom of his tomatoes.i've not seen that anywhere else in the farm, he uses some black plastic mulch on some otherplants, but the other thing is that he's using

grafted tomatoes. so this tomatoes, they havebeing grafted, they're on our wild work stock with tomato plants up top and he says theyare more productive, and more resistant than standard ones. you guys might want to lookinto that and you know, i've experimented with the grafted tomato before, they are kindof a little bit expensive and i didn't notice too much of a difference when i grew themat home; but, he totally vouch his performance, he says "he wouldn't really go any other way"because as you guys can see, this is tomato heaven right here. so now i'm going to goahead and enter another pepper hoop house here, and aaron really features and focuseson growing peppers for few reasons: number one, you guys could see, there's a lot ofpepper on here and he appreciates peppers,

he actually grows less tomatoes than peppers,he grows more peppers than tomatoes and i want to encourage you guys to grow more pepperthan tomatoes. so he sells this fresh, which command's greater dollar than the tomatoesbut, the secret on why he grows too many peppers is that he also roast's them and then freeze'sthem. so, this allows him to maximize his income during the winter months you know,so he could harvest this guys, process them throughout the winter to still have income,when other farmers that are growing fresh vegetables and try to sell fresh stuff, arelong gone. so that's one of the reasons why he grows all this peppers and this plants,they just simply look amazing, i wish i had all this peppers, i could grow more on lessspace, if i use his techniques.

so, now one of the things i'm going to showyou guys really quick is how aaron is staking up his peppers, he doesn't stake every plantso this is kind of cool. what he does, he just puts this stakes in about every coupleof (3"4") feet and he basically just ties some strings, to make like a little fenceon the edges because the middle plants support itself, but the edge plants are held up bythe string, they stay out of the walk ways. so, looks like he has only actually per bedwhich is about 2ft wide, he has about two plants. so the strings help hold the plant,keep them in growing towards the center, so that he could easily get in there and harvestall the delicious peppers. so he always encourage you guys to grow vertically and use some kindof support system that works for you, so that

your plants don't fall over and they don'tget crashed or stems broken; when you're walking by because that will cut your yields. so anotherway aaron improves his soil and brings and adds fertility is by planting some cover crops.so we've got some legume crops here, behind me he also likes to plant the buckwheat whichis also a good beneficial plant for insects and he builds fertility in this soil by plantingthe cover crops and turning them under, to add more fertility to his soil. now on a bigfarm i think this is an excellent idea, especially when you have so much land, you have fallowland and you know that's not always planted. he has like six acres under cultivation inthis space, plus he has another off-site space that he's growing food but in a home spacelike for me personally, i live in a standard

american tracked home, my lot is less thanten thousand square feet, eight thousand square feet, and i don't have a lot of room. so ifi'm planting cover crops, that means i'm giving up space that i could be growing food cropsand the most important thing for me to do is to eat, and i would rather bring in inputsto add to my garden, to add the nitrogen, add nutrients as i need to, instead of (inmy opinion) waste space for cover crops, in confined growing like i'm in. so i think i'm going to go for the one moresection of his farm where he's actually growing lettuce mixes and show you guys how he's doingit and how beautiful it looks. so this are the baby salad greens that they grow hereon the farm, they've recently plucked this

guys all mechanically, and they see them reallyclosely and basically they come through with a harvester and just clear cut them. afterthey clear cut them, they grow back again and aaron believes that this is due to thefertility in the soil, a lot of growers would grow stuffs, they'll cut it and it will notcome back but because of the fertility, aaron believes that this stuff comes back so hecould actually continue to harvest more and get more yield, out of the same amount ofspace. so, has things like the really good looking spanish, different colors of lettuce'sand it looks really cool how he has it all laid out. without being said, this is reallylabor intensive form, you'd rather grow some carrots or you literally plant something once,it grows then you harvest it, so it’s like

minimal time dealing with the crops. herehe has to come out like every couple of days, plant new seeds, having the next round growing,come out with the harvester, he has to harvest his stuffs, take it inside to wash it andprocess it, bag it and then cash. you just take out, wash, sell them and you're done.so he's really trying to get more efficient and hopefully one day he'll be able to actuallycut out and leafy green business, and get into things that he can be more efficientat and even make as much or even more money from because after all, this is a businessform and that's when it comes down to dollars and cents. another part of aaron's operation that i reallywant to show you guys here, is actually how

he runs his after harvest processing. he hasa couple of really cool tool's that i've never seen before in my life, so i want to shearthat with you guys and how they work and how he's more efficient even in after-harvest,and processing the produce he offers into the public. so now i want to show you guysinto one of his green-house's here, he has tomatoes growing in the back but in the front,this is a harvest processing area and basically he's got a lot of onions in sheds, you cansee some sheds here, he's got onions over there and he's got some machinery; some ofthem looks kind of old but still works, in other to save him time. for example this machineright here, you don't want to get your finger stuck in this one for sure, this is an oniontopper, it takes that top off the onions,

we put it in here and it just literally pullsthem all out because i do them by hand, but i don't have a ton of onions literally, likehe does. so once he pulls of the tops, then he has this old-school machine here, that'san onion bagger. so it basically rolls up the top here, and then he bags up his onionsin a bag and sells them at market. so you can see, so here's the total onions that arenow harvested, topped and waiting to be bagged and being able to get sold; and they reallylike the onions because the onions you see here, he has a couple of powers for them;well stored, they'll store a full year and he will not lose his investment and his time,the nutrients he's put in, the fertilizer or anything with the onions whereas the tomatoes.they go bad relatively quickly and if they're

not sold and he doesn't dehydrate them andsundry the tomatoes, he's going to lose his investment. so as with the peppers, he couldactually sell them fresh or he could actually roast them, and then he freezes them and hecould sell them through out the winter time. i want to go actually to his little shop there,where he does some other processing; and show you guy’s some of the cool equipment heuses and how it's actually quite efficient in his set up. so when its come to farms and visit peoplesgardens all over, i always learn something new and part of the most important thing i'velearnt here is: he actually has a washing machine that he uses to spin dry his saladgreens. you know the fresh salad greens that

you guys saw, anyways; more important thanthat: he uses this (washing machine) to spin his salad greens, he actually has all thisone wheels. so this could move in and out and if noticed, everything in this room isactually on wheels, he can stand up in this room the way he wants to. some days its processingcarrots, some days it’s used as a csa pick up, some days it is used to make tucker andall those kind of stuffs and it's really cool that he putted everything on wheels and hehas no motor and you guys can see the shelve newly built above. if something is not usedevery day in this room, it doesn't even belong in this room, it belongs somewhere off-site.if something is used every day, it needs to be a little bit higher up and if it doesn'tget used maybe more than once a week, it gets

higher up and things that are used not asoften are even higher up, and this is the way that i believe i should try and organizemy house. you guys might want to organize your house and even minimal your garage oryour garden storage shape, this will make it a lot easier and try to keep your spaceclean. put things on wheel, so you can move them in and out of the way, you can have maximumflexibility with your space. i think i'm going to head outside now and show you one morecool tool that aaron uses to save time, here on the farm. so here's yet another tool that aaron usesto save time on his farm and be more efficient so he can save time and labor cost, insteadof having one man spray down carrots like

most farms might do, he actually has a specializedtool to do carrot washing. this is not a compost *21:32* or something like that, this is basicallyjust a large wood slot or something like that actually spin around. it takes the carrotin there and will wash all the dirt off, with the water coming out of this pvc pipes, thedirt’s goes the bottom, it gets washed down and he adds that back into his farm and thecarrots come out clean. once the carrots comes out, he has a little converter belt thin thatrotates the carrots, so you can easily identify the carrots that are bad or good and pullout the bad carrots with bad sprogs so that they don't make it into the ones that arebeing sold to the customers. so we really like that aaron is really workingefficient here, not only with post-harvest

but also pre harvest. i mean one of the mostefficient things i believe gardeners at home and farmers is add the rock dust, becauseit hits some of the work load off you and this is what he's found. this is why i wantyou guys, whether you’re a commercial farmer, you're a home gardener, just start using arock dust. what i want to do next is interview aaron and shear with you guys, some of he'sthings he has learnt about rock dust, some of the tips and techniques he's learnt overthe years farming since he was a young lad, so you guys can approve you're garden or yourcommercial operation, should you have one. john kohler: so now we're with aaron lockerfrom kingsbury market garden and he's the owner and also the farmer here, you guys gotto see this amazing garden. i wanted to go

ahead and take him aside, and tell him abouta few things. the first of which actually is, where we are right now, we are on yourproperty, this is part of the farm, and you have a beautiful river, stream. aaron locker: yes, so this is the mad river,right now it’s pretty calm but it gets mad from time to time. it's a very narrow drainagein here, so it’s not uncommon to get a couple of inches of rain for this water that makesthis river to go up several feet’s, and then back down over the course of a day. john kohler: wow! this probably affected thequality because this river has being here for quite a long time, and this affects yourfarm because a lot of the stuff's in your

farm is the salty like stuff that was partlydeposited by the river, thousands of years ago potentially. aaron locker: yes, that stuff was washed outof the mountain sides. john kohler: yes, you were telling me thatyour farm is not that really fertile, so you had to bring in things, i showed you guyswhat he's using. so i specifically want to ask you about bringing in the rock dust, whyyou choose to bring in the rock dust and what you saw before and after using the rock dust? aaron locker: well i choose to bring in rockdust because, i felt like i needed to do something aside from adding compost and fertilizer whichi was having very good luck with, and read

something’s about nutrient intense farming,balancing nutrients and particularly about trace elements like cobalt and boron, thingslike that. so four years ago now, i did my first rock dust application, three differentapplication, 10 tons the acre of each. i'm now starting with my second round with tenone *24:53* of tom beneca's brick blend basalt. next year, i think it will be some port sightfrom mountain, which is just over the mountains here, and probably some *25:08*. john kohler: yes, so he's using differentkinds of rock dust, they all have lots of different minerals to balance the soil. so,how important is that for you that you're soil have a balanced amount of minerals inthe right proportion for your plant growth?

aaron locker: i think that the idea behindthis rock dust is that you're applying relatively large amounts of relatively unavailable nutrients.so you're building mineral depths, so you're conventional agriculture and your conventionalorganic agriculture, you tend to apply relatively small amounts of relatively available nutrients.so the fact is that once i apply the *25:55* which has high levels of potassium in relativelyunavailable form's, but it will slowly be available to plants 26:04* or sulphated potashthat has readily available potassium in it, that would not necessarily be way to available,could leach, leaching is a big issue here with the sandy soils but the idea is to makea soil that plants exude their acids and actually weigh up potassium and make it available,instead of having just like a kind of free

flowing in the soil solution. john kohler: he does not use any water sibalnutrients because obviously he has a river right here, and if he uses water sibal nutrientslike many conventional agriculture do, you know chemicals, nitrogen's and all that stuff,there's going to be contamination and run outs or wrecking of water supplies and contaminatingplaces. i'm really glad that aaron is doing gardening and farming, the smart way. so aaron,what differences have you seen, using the rock dust, or do you believe that you've seenfrom using the rock dust? aaron locker: well, i believe i've seen abig difference from using the rock dust, and a couple of other things, the rock dust area big part of it. the health; the health of

my produce have very few diseases anymore,apart from diseases, i don't have very many pest issues, things are brighter, they growfaster, they are heavier, they tend to taste better and yields have gone up significantly. john kohler: yes, i mean i've seen reallyhealth stuffs here, in this farm i've tasted some spinach, some carrots and they are absolutelygood. i guess the only thing i want to ask you is, would you recommend the people outthere, the farmers and home gardener's to use the rock dust? aaron locker: yes, i absolutely would. oneof the things that's actually interesting about it, is that the price per pound, likedifferent nutrients like for instance the

berry graner which is local potassium, localgarner source is high in potassium, it ends up being like 20 cents a pound versus maybea dollar a pound in like sulphate or potash form. so it’s a really good bang for thebuck, as long as you're able to make that long term investment in your soil. which ithink it’s really what makes sustainable agriculture; sustainable agriculture. i guessit’s still not really sustainable because it’s a byproduct of a mining industry, butit still a relatively available by product and it’s also the kind of thing that willhave an effect for a long period of time. so it’s not a reactionary thing at all,it’s a very pro-active approach which was the way that i want to do things.

john kohler: awesome, i think a pro-activeapproach in life is really good. i mean before you get a heart attack, stop doing the thingsthat will cause a heart attack. eat fruits and vegetables like the one's aaron growshere, highest quality, so you could not eat the bad things and displace the bad stuffand just like you know, grow a garden, not using the chemical fertilizer that gives youan instant reaction but then have negative consequences in my opinion. use somethingmore long lasting, what i believe aaron is doing is beyond sustainable because he's actuallyregenerating, the land here is better than when he came, do you have any comments aboutthat? aaron locker: no, i think it’s true, it’sdefinitely true, i pride myself on that and

it makes my life a lot easier. i've got hopefullyanother couple of decades of farming on this property, and i would like to think that itwould continue that way and i'll continue to have really good tasting carrots that everybody,every mom in the town wants to feed their kids, and that would allow me to grow oldfarming, basically. john kohler: awesome, this is really the newfarming, chemicals and gmo's (in my opinion) are not the answer, it’s getting back toroots, you know the old school days when we used things like boucher, rock powders tomineralize the soil but we've lost all this knowledge, and all those stuff. many of youguys may not even have heard of rock dust, maybe even before this video which is quitesad but, another thing i want to talk to you

about aaron that you're really into and alot of my viewers may think hybrids are evil. i personally think that any plant that isnot genetically modified through man made, artificial means is good. whether its hybridor air loom, i don't think they should be this fight because there's more importantfish to fry or whatever they say. why do you choose to use some hybrid in your productionand how has that made you more profitable actually? aaron locker: well, the profit example i think,is determinant habit. on things like tomatoes and in some degree even pepper plants, ifwe are here in vermont i've got 120 days growing seeds. so to grow in determinant tomato plant,it’s going to be 10 feet tall and the potential

has like 25 tomatoes on there but, september20th comes and i get to frost and i pick and i pick the first 10 pounds, that doesn't makea lot of sense to me. so i'm more choosing to grow determinant tomatoes that grow toabout chin height, and produce a lot of tomatoes; i mean, we are going to pretty much be doneby the time the frost hits them also. i'm choosing peppers, they tend to have more ofa determinant habit so i can actually get more fruit because, no matter how nutrientintense my produce is, once it gets to the 20's, it’s going to die and i want to beable to harvest as much as i possibly can. john kohler: awesome, i always encourage youguys to not only have the most nutritious soil but also grow the plants that are goingto do well in your area, that's something

a lot of people miss. if you just go downand buy plants from your local nursery or big box store, you might just be getting theexact right ones that are actually going to do the best and perform the best so that youand your family could eat more from the garden, than out of the grocery store. speaking ofgrocery stores, where can people buy this produce that i've tasted that is absolutelyamazing? aaron locker: just basically here in vermont,for the most part i sell the mehuron's market, our local independent super market, eastoncommunity market our local co-operator and through csa programs, one of which i'm a partowner and the stuff primarily goes around the boston area.

john kohler: so yea if you live in boston,you could get one of this good stuff that aaron is growing. so aaron, do you have anylast comments you would like to shear, messages out to my viewers, about anything happeningto do with gardening, farming or maybe the direction the industry should be going, inyour opinion. aaron locker: well, i don't really like tospeak on the industry so much but i would like to say that this whole rock dust thing,the whole remineralization thing is really the best way to get the highest quality producethat you can. i do think that from the industry perspective; eventually, i think it’s goingto go this way where they're going to be able to tell you, what kind of quality it is. likethey're going to say this carrot are bricks

ten carrot's or brick fourteen carrot's, andthat's going to be fantastic because you're going to go into the supermarket and be like"oh! these apples are really good for me and it’s proven". in a short term, the way thatyou can do that is by applying lots of organic matter, lots of rock dust to your home garden,around your food orchids, around your asbars, all that kind of stuff and yes, you can growsome really high quality food. john kohler: yes, i definitely recommend doingwhat he's saying and i totally believe it’s true, i also want to encourage you guys togo out and get a bricks *34:12* where actually tested bricks from. watermelons from my localfarmers market and actually they weren't that good, the ones at whole foods where better.kind of insane because not all farmers know

what they're doing, i'm glad aaron is oneof the people that knows what he's doing so, hope this video goes out to even some farmersthat are watching this and works to improve the quality of the stuff they are growing,because not all of it is good i mean there's a lot of crap out there. most farming is donefor profit, this is aaron’s life, this is his business, he needs to make money or he'sgoing to get out of business because this is his life. so he's really doing the smartthings as you guys saw, he's using some really cool techniques and being efficient with histime, his labor and also efficient with his soil by adding the rock dust and i believeyou guys should also be as efficient as you guys can, in your garden and as well as withyour soil.

so hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode,if you guys enjoyed this episode, me here at the farm with aaron, please give me a thumbsup, let me know and i'll be sure to come back and visit aaron next summer in town, to seehow his farm is doing in the future. also be sure to check my past episodes, i haveover eleven hundred episodes now in all aspects of growing food at home, especially when iget to visit farms like this which i learn a lot of stuff's too and be sure to clickthat subscribe button down below as you get updates and notified when i put new episodesout, i should try and get an episode out every three days for you guys. so once again, thisis john kohler coming at you from vermont and we'll see next time but until then remember,keep on growing.
