While extroverts do have a bit of an edge selling at farmer's markets, what with chatting up and getting chatted up by customers, that's not all that goes into it. There's the ingress, egress, and the prep work that goes into getting your produce ready days before the market. Needless to say, market days can get very exhausting even for extroverts, as farmer Alec Smith shares how their first farmer's market went. 🥕 Catch Episode 16 of our new series, "Farm Startup” on our Farm Small Farm Smart podcast show, where Diego interviews farmer Alec Smith @@cropculturefarm on the journey of starting up his own farm business. 🔗 in bio to listen 🎧 #moderngrower #farmsmallfarmsmart #podcast #farmpodcast #farmtips #marketfarm #marketgarden #marketgardening #regenerativeagriculture #smallscalefarming #smallfarm #farmlife #business
Many business owners start businesses because they want control over their schedules, they want freedom. The thing is, businesses DO run on schedules, and it's up to the business owner to decide whether they control the business or the business controls them. 🤔 Catch Episode 16 of our new series, "Farm Startup” on our Farm Small Farm Smart podcast show, where Diego interviews farmer Alec Smith @@cropculturefarm on the journey of starting up his own farm business. 🔗 in bio to listen 🎧 #moderngrower #farmsmallfarmsmart #podcast #farmpodcast #farmtips #marketfarm #marketgarden #marketgardening #regenerativeagriculture #smallscalefarming #smallfarm #farmlife #business
Potting-up/ potting-on/bumping-up are phrases often used to describe moving cutting or seedling to a larger volume of soil as they grow.  This is important for two main reasons: 1) As you water a plant in a container, nutrients are used up by the plants and flushed out by the water. Giving the little plant a new refreshed batch of soil provides the additional  nutrients it needs.  2) When plants are held in a pot or container for too long, the roots may begin to circle around the bottom of the container. This can result in stunting and transplant shock. Root circling is less likely with soil blocks due to the air-pruning of roots, but it is still always best to allow more room for roots as they stretch out.  I love starting my tomatoes in the mini-blocks because it saves so much soil and valuable grow-light/greenhouse space in late winter/early spring. After two weeks and after true leaves have formed, I pot them on to the medium block. After three weeks, I pot them on to the large block. After three more weeks, and after plants are tall yet bushy, but before flowers form, they are transplants. 8 weeks total.  The nesting feature of soil blocks definitely makes potting-on easier and more clear as to when potting-on is necessary. Just look at the roots on the edges of the blocks.
