Great episode.

What a great guy! Old skool!
with that weather why he is not growing bell peppers and hot peppers maybe have very good sells at the market,very good video love it ..!!i Lerner a lot ..!!
Hi, John. This is one of the best episodes I've seen! Tito is doing really amazing job. You too, John, don't worry. But there is something familiar to me in Tito's approach. There is one man doing similar job in Russia and I very much like what he is doing. His name is Boris Bublik. Unfortunately, there are no videos in english available.
This is what I was asking you a while ago – about creating soil fertility in an affordable way. I know you have a strong motivation to grow the highest quality food. But are you really sure that Tito's vegetables are worse than yours are?
My proposal to run a taste/quality contest btn your 2 ways of gardening choosing couple types of vegetables as benchmark, eg. peppers, tomatoes, some leafy greens, etc. What do you think?
I wonder too about differences in nutritional quality. Great video. Happy new year!!
way to much talking keep it to the garden things
Tino is a genius! thanks. love it
Can't wait for you to go back.
Very interesting video John. thanks again for great video
Great video John! Tino has a killer garden….
Tino needs his own YouTube gardening channel!
Please visit again in summer. I would love to see that garden. Learned many great tips. I have to say, I agree with Tino on everything he said. Thanks!!
LOL classic greek wife, arms crossed annoyed at her man!
Dude been watching your vids for awhile (3-5) days now, love em, just a note, you was high af on that juicer vid with the fresh hemp plants, best vid yet btw!) anyway keep up the videos cause I'm watching
WOW! I learned so much from this video. I totally agree with him about the plants seeking out what they need when we start them out right, they will learn to fend for themselves; basically the same as humans in life in terms of being resilient & self sufficient. Living In AZ I know certain plants, etc. are not adapted to desert life, so I agree with you John that there are a lot of variables. Loved this video, thx so much to you & Tito.
Mr.John may I ask would you happen to have any videos about tissue culture plants? I need a bit help making the media.
