How To Grow Tobacco In UK #5

I'd love to see a video # 6 to get to see your finished product. Many thanks for the vids. I'm in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, and the climate is pretty similar to yours (I think) except we have a dry July and August.

Very helpful video, what would make it even more helpful is to write the exact month where each step happens

I'm loving your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Brilliant just watching these videos I already know lots of balls up I've made,thx for sharing desi,can you do a video on best way to actually process the leaves and keep them dry

Thanks for this, I needed your videos as a reference for mine. I think I will hang mine in my shed. The wire was a brilliant tip! Thanks

Very interesting, enjoyed watching, gonna give it a go next spring, thanx

Love how your using wire from the outside of some armoured cable lol very educational videos cheers mate

Top vids man, thought I'd have a go at growing my own this year with everything that's going in the world, thanks for the info, happy growing

In the USA it's legal to grow up to one tenth of an acre of tobacco. More than that requires permits which are expensive 😢.

Great to watch all going to give it a go this year lol if you mix Burley and Virginia in a roll your own is it a nice smoke ?happy growing for this year stay safe

Great set of videos could you do one on the fermentation

Absolutely brilliant thank you brother

Thank you so much for your videos that have encouraged me to have a go. A couple of questions. Do they need feeding? Do they appreciate manure or not? Do the tall GV plants need staking? - Every good wish - Paul

I just love how the bird shit is clean

growing my first tobacco in the uk this year bruv, you videos have been really usefull, nice one man.

Bountiful harvest

Thank you so much Desi. Going to give it a go this year. Regards Tim young Tasmania Australia

great videos

Thanks again Desi

Hi Desi, when they are brown and crispy is that when you can shred and then smoke, or is they another video pls

Hi/ya Desi, I watched and followed your videos last year and had a great Harvest, Thank you, but how do you get rid of the old stalks after harvest, do the eventually break down with the compost as we ain't allowed bonfires on site, Cheers mate and keep the videos coming.

Just ordered seeds, how do you prep the leaves ready for rolling

Great crop there.

I find it takes a year (at least) after this for them to cure naturally. The tobacco smell and taste really starts to come through with time. I usually de-stem them as well for the long cure. As this is where the leaf retains most of the moisture and therefore is most susceptible to mould.

do an episode 6 where you smoke it

Amazing thanks!

What was your total dried weight with that plot of land?

Great stuff Any suggestions on how to do without tilling so as to keep the soil good and not kill worms? Drill by hand?

Do you have to harden them off before leaving them outside?

Very helpful video Desi. Thank you. On my first attempt I used the seeds raped in clay, put them in the Poly tunnel but did not use a propagator, also planted them to deep. Only got a 20% growth rate instead of 90%. I planted outside too early and most died, except for eight and three were destroyed be the dog. I now have 5 outside one of them has been destroyed be a Mole going through the roots. I have 8 Turkish 10 Tennessee only one Virginia gold left out of 50 of each, these I planted in pots an kept them in the poly tunnel. Moved some of them outside as they started to go through the roof of the poly tunnel. Can you please tell me what time of year you are harvesting in the video or do you make your own judgement based on the weather conditions. Again thank you Desi, I should have better harvest next year.

How do you ferment it?

Do you have a video of what to do after you cure them IE: The progress from cured leaves to rolling it in paper and lighting it up. :) I don't see a video of that on your channel?

Thank you.. I found your videos very usfull. Please can you philm the fermenting stage and best storing for later use please ... Thanks

Thank you

great series, any videos on processing it?

And the fermentation??

Does anyone know the technique to harvest the seeds for another crop? Great uploads.

Could you please let me know when you plant the seeds, put them out side and when they are fully grown. I have the Tennessee Burly, Virginia Gold and Turkish Basra. Thank You.

Whats it like smoking home grown tobacco, is it much more stronger than for example if I went to the shops and brought a pack of cutters choice

What will you do with all that tobacco? I grew some last year and have too much still even though I gave a lot away.

thank you two years later

Hi could you tell me which would be the closest to a Drum or Turner type tobacco please

Bro, where did you get seeds from?

Great job but how do u shred it ?

So what was your yield approximately after drying desi???

I’m drying mine under sun, is it better do it in the shed ? You think ??

If I rolled it into a cigar how long will it take before I can smoke it. Good work mate. tobacco plant grows very tall, I thought it grows like lattice .

would u like to sell some of your leaves? as i don`t have space and time to grow them properly :(

hi have you any links to where i can buy the other seeds from all i can seem to find on ebay is golden virgina seeds which i have grown this year thanks to your videos. all my best simon

What's the best for slugs?

Where’s number six - “The finished tobacco” ?

Do u sell i wanna buy???

Looks suckered out. That tobacco needs the flower broke off three weeks before harvest. Once the flower is broke off and sucker control is out on the leaves will grow bigger

You didn't mention that you have to pay a Lot of TAX to the UK government if you want to grow your own in the UK

I bought these as seeds still is it good?!😊😊? 'Safla nicotiana tabacum' i bought them on frugoo
