Very interesting and well-produced webcast. I especially like that the questions are re-typed on the screen.

chicken poop usually comes from large farms where they are pumped full of all kinds of stuff. Doesn't that also get into the plants some?

At 29min 50. J.M. F is talking about grafted tomatoes and rotation. Did I get it right: After the season, he leaves the grafted tomatoe plants in place and they become perannial?
If so do You prune it or renew the graftings every spring?
All the points made in this video are really smart and well thought out.
