If you use the tube then they can't wipe their feet in the first chamber? Also should you use sand paper so they don't get stabbed by splinters?

cheap ziplock (single zip, store brand, biggest box you can find) snack bags for the beginning and quart bags for their first week or 2 then if you still have rough weather you can even use gallon bags as a last resort.

Suggestion - try sandwich bags rather than wrap over the cups to retain moisture whilst keeping some airflow. I’ve tried both and found the bags led to quicker germination. Not actually sure why.

I started increasing the variety of flowers on my mini farm three years ago. There was a big reduction in pest pressure at 20 varieties. I'm trying to increase that every year, with a focus on varieties that bloom early and late. Also letting them stand after they turn brown to help insects over winter. I top some of them and let them dry upside down over large grow bags to collect seeds. Last season I was able to collect about 200k. I mix them with screened peat, coir and sand to make them easy to broadcast by hand. I do this in spring when the soil is moist and the temp is in the ballpark. Then only need to keep them moist until they sprout. Virtually no work after that.

What do you suggest for holding water as a catch? and also preventing soil from being too moist?
@greeneacreshomestead 7 ай бұрын
You can use any tray that will fit… many of the plastic trays will work fine. I personally don’t use anything and simply allow the excess water to run out on the table. Overwatering is very common with seed starting, once the seed’s sprout and have their first true leaves, allow the top 1/4” of soil to dry out before watering again. Also the cedar will absorb and retain water so you shouldn’t have to water as much as you think.

So once you cut the initial tree back to a stump, we’re you adding a first layer of sand and then sawdust on top of that for the new roots to grow into??
@greeneacreshomestead 7 ай бұрын
No. Allow the stump to sprout shoots. Then once they are long enough to be buried about a foot deep and still have around 6” of leaves exposed then you’re ready. Most likely it will take around 2-3 months after you cut it to the ground before you start adding soil at the base.

Love it! keep finding queens in my garden that are cold and torpid as we are having a chilly spring here in B.C. I've been reviving them with honey which is working - but I am worried they aren't finding places to nest. One thing that I have seen and will try on the box I will build today is to mark the front of the box where the entrance hole is with bright yellow paint to help the queens find the entrance. I'll use non-toxic paint and see if that helps them find the entrance. Given that all the bees I have found in the last couple of weeks are hiding in the first daffodils that makes sense. The cat-tails are such a great idea!

Thank you- I just checked these boxes, where I put them in the fall, and there are chew marks around the entrance holes. Mice have been nesting… very excited to see what this spring/summer brings.

Two things: first, a question for you, have you considered putting a cattle panel arch over the north run & letting the squash climb it? The varieties you mention are likely too large/heavy, but a smaller variety could be grown as well as/in place of one of them - this would give you more room for other plants in your growing bed as well as providing some shade to the chickens (and a bit of protection from aerial predators) - and I suppose you could put one up over the south run too, it's just that you didn't mention any vining plants there; second, just a mention to possible new chicken owners, different breeds roost at different levels so the perch might need to be lowered (for example, Orpingtons will 'roost' on the floor of the coop, non-flighty breeds like a low roost they can 'hop' up onto). But you had me at the graph paper - I don't even know how many graph tablets I've bought over the years!
@greeneacreshomestead Жыл бұрын
I have, in the past, grown sugar pumpkins on arches, works great. I have a sweet dumpling squash that would be perfect for that. I like the idea, perhaps just a small section, as I want to get a decent amount of sunlight hitting those runs so they sprout/grow whatever I seed in them for forage. Most likely it will be oats or wheat… maybe a small 2’ wide arch at the north end will be added. On hot points of the season I will cover the coop with a shade cloth- Great point about the roosts and different breeds. We have been hatching chicks for so long that most of my birds can jump/fly 8’ easily. I do remember having to put a roost at 3-4’ so they could reach the higher roost when we bought Orpingtons years ago.
@karenw9996 Жыл бұрын
@@greeneacreshomestead Well, see, there you go - I completely ignored the whole growing forage thing! I've never actually had orps, just subscribe to a channel that raises them for eggs & meat for themselves as well as to sell hatching & eating eggs/chicks/extra roosters (grown) for meat. All of theirs roost on the ground.

Yeah they can jump a bit but are definitely big girls that need a low roost. It’s so cold up here I like to get them as far off the cold ground as possible.

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing.😍 I especially liked the point you made about the wasps. They are really so underrated as a beneficial! Tip: If it is so dry, that wasps become a problem by munching on fruit, etc, all the other animals especially insects are suffering, too. I put out numerous flat water bowls - like birdbaths - around the garden so that the birds and insects can safely have a drink. If mosquitos are a problem, just empti out the bowls every evening, let them dry out over night and refill in the morning. Also, put some pebbles or something semiliar in the water, so that the insects can get out of the water if they accidentally fell in. If I had a bigger property, I'd dig a pond - that would draw in even more beneficiall animals. I have to make do with bird baths and "bucket ponds" 🙂

Great advice- yes we started putting small mixing tubs (about 2’x3’) dug in throughout the perennial gardens with rock ramps in the corners, that same year. I should make a video on that… we started seeing a lot more frogs and snakes in the garden since. Birds use them as well and though they do produce more mosquitoes I actually like how they benefit the ecology on a whole. They bring in so many dragonflies from our large pond about 80 yards away, it’s one of the most memorable things about that time of year-walking through the garden with numerous dragonflies circling around you as they eat, especially when I push-mow the grass pathways. I appreciate you posting this in the comments on this vid-
