excellent video.. thank you.
Great field trip John, a lot of great products to check out. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid! Loved the reviews. Too bad some of the products are waaaayyyy to expensive for me. My fav is the Melnor wifi Aqua timer. I think it's worth the $200 price tag. Plus, I'm so lazy and anything I can do from my phone gets an A+ from me.
Hey Buddy – I love these videos however I would really love a good heads up as to whats going on and when. I would have loved to have gone to this event but how do I find out about it ? Perhaps you could direct me/us to a place that lists upcoming events in our genre. Perhaps you could say in a video – hey guys I will be headed to los angeles to attend the bla bla bla next month on july 28th at the Anaheim convention center. Maybe even post a schedule of a few months so if it really peaks our interest we could get plane tickets and secure a hotel. I really hope you choose to help us out in this way – Thanks John
"…I wish Americans were more smarter.." Uh, yeah. Also, you wonder at the top of the video why you were walking around the convention for two days in order to create this video. Isn't it for the free products you'll likely receive for featuring certain products and because you get paid by YouTube for these videos? You'll excuse my cynicism. I wasn't breast-fed
and so did not develop properly.
Wash your hair, man… driving me nuts with the greasy hair in your videos. Prolly drives the girlfriend nuts, toot.
Just think of him as the new ShamWOW guy for gardening.
He just needs a few jokes ( ya got a shot of this camera guy)
Bless John. I just wanted to say I agree with you 100% with what you were saying at the beginning of the video, I've seen some of the comments people have written in past "product" videos… I don't get it! I'm consistently looking for new tools/products! I have a small farm, but its still my biggest hobby or thing I do for fun, so I dont mind spending $ on it. Plus, all you can eat, healthiest food on the plant, is priceless and what I would choose to spend my last dollars on! Especially if a tool/product helps some one new to gardening have success, and turns them into lifelong gardeners instead of failing and giving up. That's priceless too! Keep up the good works on all the video's (including "product" ones)!
Your permaculture videos are pretty nice, you can check the ones I make and we can hopefully exchange feedback! Keep up the good work!
Ew I saw a miracle grow expo in the background!
John, thanks for going there for us! interesting stuff!
Some really great products, thanks John!
Great video!!
Wowza! John, this is awesome. You have such a natural television presence. Great clip. Loved how well you explained the VeggiePOPS! and also the water saving ideas.
Americans have been dumbed downed by GMO's in our food, water and air 🙁 Thank you death Monsanto
That clear hose looks fun. I wonder if there would be an algae problem over time.
I will stick with Johnny's and Baker seed company myself. I like the heirlooms and just do not trust the big box store seeds. If I need a higher output I just grow more plants.
