Description

It is week 5 of the urban farm season - April 14, 2015. The setting for this show is Kelowona, BC, Canada.
Urban Farmer Curtis Stone is going gangbusters in what he calls the setup phase on his farm - getting all of the major things done on the farm plots before the season gets underway. Things like preparing the soil, starting plants in the nursery, putting down weed control measures, and getting infrastructure in place. Part of that infrastructure involves getting your irrigation systems in order.
This we talk about setting up irrigation systems, poly low tunnels, and trying out new crops.
