Chuck, When will the next video be posted? It is already Wedensday and.......

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know.

ChuckBartok · June 11, 2008

I had a three day Horse Trade Show.

Joint ventured with a fantastic Compost system...
More later.
Great for the Small to medium Gardner.
Finished compost in 21 Days!

When I got home was behind on chores.
Going to Video Today and hope to produce by Thursday

organichris · June 12, 2008

21 days, eh? I'm thinking it must be vermicompost.

ChuckBartok · June 12, 2008

I will have a complete Information page ready soon.
This system "pays" for itself.

ChuckBartok · June 12, 2008

I got it done...
I am thinking color soon....

Posted Week 10 Tomato progress just a moment ago

Don't forget to comment please and rate, I appreciate it

organichris · June 12, 2008

Chuck, I just watched your video on Yahoo. My YouTube access is restricted here at work, but I'll rate it later when I'm at home. I meant to rate it, but forgot.

Anyway, I am very impressed. I would never have figured you would be able to get the yield you are on your way to getting. You are slowly but surely making a believer out of me.

ChuckBartok · June 12, 2008

I am pleased with the "tonnage" now set on both major Varieties.

We are also suffereing extended Strong North Wind and 95+ temps.

Sucking moisture as fast as applied.
Not common for June.

I am tryin hard to keep moisture balance and stress
on the right path. Need the stress for set, but the moisture for sustainablity

karpes · June 12, 2008

Ditto organichris I am impressed and I think that Chuck may be developing a fan club here. Go Chuck! karpes

Growing anything beyond the natural situation is always a challenge and
FUN.....

It is the curiosity and willingness to try NEW is what has allowed the USA agri-business to really flourish.

I remeber in 1964 I changed the way everyone else planted radishes...

Yes, A Great cash crop for a just graduated idiot. 28 days to $$$$.

All my older neighbors said I was an idiot, but I already knew that.

My system gave me average 2,500 dozen buches per acre in 28 days.

Normal was 1,800 2,000. At $.10 a bunch back to the Farm those yield increase were signaificant...

Over $50 per acre and I planted and harvested 10 acres a week.

But I also learned early, everything doesn't always work!
But must keep trying.

Let's have Fun and keep the 'maters growing

Chuck,
I've really enjoyed the content of your series of videos! I also enjoy your manner of speaking, obviously you've put in a good deal of time in front of an audience.

I feel uncomfortable asking this, it could be a problem with my computer I suppose, but is anyone else hearing the crackling audio that I'm getting? I only hear it with these videos, and I never hear it over the blue screen titles. I hear it on Yahoo and YouTube alike. As much as I love the content and the presentation the crackling audio makes it nearly unbearable to sit through a full video!

I'm looking forward to more videos. Please keep them coming. Does anyone have thoughts on the cause of the crackle...be it the source, or my computer?

Kurt

ChuckBartok · June 13, 2008

Yes I am not happy wiht the Audio portion of my Camera pick-up.

The most recent Video #10, I used a plug in mic, hoping the quality better.

The only other choice is to just shoot the video silent and then narrate while putting together the Video.

Open for suggestions, other than spending a bundle on a more state of the art Camera.

I am using a Hi-8 cassete Camcorder and downloading
to computer.

I hear the digital Cameras are much better.

COgarden · June 13, 2008

Audio for me on #10 is the same

. While I would hate to see you have to do the audio separately, maybe it would be the best (and certainly the cheapest) option. A serious bummer, since I think one of the strengths of your videos is the fact that your narration is live. Not everybody can pull that off! I can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time much less walk, zoom, pan, focus, and speak coherently at the same time.

Maybe I'm just overly bothered by the occasional audio twitch. I'll shut up now.

Please keep the videos coming, with or without audio issues!

Kurt

P.S. How many square feet of tomato garden would be required to budget for an affordable digital video camera in the future?

organichris · June 13, 2008

Yeah, I've heard it too. I don't know if I would characterize it as crackling though. To me it sounds like a weird digital effect.

ChuckBartok · June 13, 2008

I listened again also. There is a constant Click that I believe Chris is right "digital effect" from downloading form cassette to digital.

The original on cassette is clear.

Please bear with me, we will overcome.

Other noise obviously is wind, and background

ChuckBartok · June 14, 2008

I think I found the Answer.
I learned I can download at different speeds, etc.

Can't atke time to revis all but New should be better.

Check out most recent, Not tomato but
horsemen will like it.
