What kind of soil do I use

@goatsofwar7181 13 күн бұрын

I just used dirt from my place and added organics from the farm. I think any good soil would work.

How do you get seeds?

@goatsofwar7181 Ай бұрын

Most of the major seed dealers have them but you can hit up True Leaf Market or Seed Savers Exchange...I think even Baker Creek has some. Many different varieties.

@tmfcronin Ай бұрын

Great review thanks! I would buy the unit for shredding leaves. I have learned from experience it is much easier to burn branches than to chip them up. I do realize that local regs do not always allow you to have a burn, but we are in the Virginia countryside and are allowed to do so.

Great video. Curing is just a controlled drying, they are the same process essentially but with curing the rate is controlled.

@FelipeVarellaPenteado Ай бұрын

In my short experience growing tobacco, I experimented with different curing methods, from steam curing to fermenting in stacked piles, but the one i found the best, was to sun cure, and after the green is out, to rehydrate, remove the stems and rolling them in thick rolls. To smoke I would slice it very very thin and oh god, it tasted wonderful, fruity and sweet notes. By far the best tobacco I have ever smoked. btw, great video!

@goatsofwar7181 Ай бұрын

I tried sun curing and it worked for the 509 burley, but the other 2 varieties would flash dry green so I would end up rehydrating and stacking and storing. It took a really long time for the Prilep.

Thank you for the helpful information. We already grow our own cannabis. Next Spring we plant tobacco to use as our own blunt wrappers. Cheers.

@goatsofwar7181 Ай бұрын

Blunt wraps are my favorite reason to grow our own tobacco. Nothing is more satisfying to me than consuming something that was entirely created at home by our family. Have a good one!

@eQualizeri Ай бұрын

So, harvest while it's green, dry it until it's dry and cure it until it's darkish brown?

@goatsofwar7181 Ай бұрын

100%. I think each tobacco variety will behave a little differently. Also, the temperature, air flow and humidity of the drying/curing space will determine how fast or slow it dries and cures.

@syd546 Ай бұрын

really funny that you dont have to be 21 to buy the seeds.

@wesstubbs3472 Ай бұрын

You want to wear long sleeves and gloves when you work with that stuff - it can literally poison you through contact. To avoid mold, run a small fan in your curing shed.

I grow sometimes a dozen varieties in western canada as a hobby at my farm. Grasshoppers last few drought years eat it to the stalk. Trying some higher nicotine varieties to see if that has an effect on the hoppers next year. I recommend you try florida sumatra and little dutch varieties. Strongest growers ive seen.

@goatsofwar7181 4 ай бұрын

@redneckregime6268 grasshoppers are the only thing that bothers my tobacco. They love it, and destroy such perfect leaves. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll give them a go next season. I'm trying to get better at curing this year, I lost a lot last season to mold.

@redneckregime6268 4 ай бұрын

@@goatsofwar7181 If you have a greenhouse just lay them inside hanging on strings for a month or 2 or even all winter and they will be the most beautiful brown you have ever seen. Spray them down sometimes and if you keep them in a greenhouse on a sunny day they will get real nice and hot and help some ammonia escape.

@FULLR3TARD Ай бұрын

Treat the plants with permethrin or pyrethrin. It’s not toxic to us, but remove the flower heads, because it will kill all insects, including bees.

@juntak75 5 ай бұрын

we use German Shepherd Dogs and Dobermann Dogs as SHEPHERDS to herd the goats. So I am CONFUSED with this person's statement where he said that Dogs should not mix with Goats. I know other farmers who mix Dogs with Goats, too.

@goatsofwar7181 Ай бұрын

I did say in the video that people do it and it works fine. I dont recommend it for your beginning dairy goat people. Even the herding dogs will nip and bite and the goats should not be forced into living with them all of the time. I stand on the principal that if you want happy goats that produce good milk with low stress, they need to feel comfortable in their environment. I also note the difference between a herding dog and a guardian dog THe herding dog has heavy prey drive, while the guardian has almost no prey drive. People who work dogs know how to work them appropriately. That is far different from a house hold mixing various breeds that are not working around the homestead. Some people dont think its a big deal if a goat gets an ear torn by a nip, but we have a zero fang policy with our goats and we recommend the same to anyone who buys our goats.

Hmm, this is the first video of yours I've ever watched. Interesting your in a camper and the water and grey water is frozen. I honestly wouldn't know what I would do but just think if you cover the entire camper with a large tarp and run heaters around it, maybe you could warm it up enough to de-frost it to loosen all the blockages up. or de-frost only the underside of the camper closest to the drain and let the heat flow through the opposite side to generate a flow direction. Just spit balling a couple ideas. yeah its a cold one out here as well, all the best to you two! Stay safe and warm and best of luck.

Thanks for stopping in and watching. Also thank you for the tips, they are all good! My wife and I used to live in the interior of Alaska and we had less freeze ups than we have dealt with since moving to the lower 48. After Alaska we moved to Wyoming which also has brutal winters. Now that we are in Washington State, these winters are not as harsh. Thanks again, Keep warm and watch your top knot!

Such a great investment for anyone doing a reasonable number of chickens for their family and friends… they are a little pricy, but if you’ve ever hand plucked a couple (three or four dozen) chickens, it’s a huge increase in efficiency. Husband and I can only do 15-25 a day if we hand pluck.

I tried to buy one of these from my local Northern Tool. Independence Mo.The manager wouldn't sell it to me. He demanded, "What are you going to use it for?" " I wanted to chip some wood." "What kind of wood?" Suddenly I felt intimidated as if I needed to justify my wanting to buy his product. "Do you not want to sell it to me?" "I just don't want you bringing it back! Besides, the only one I have is buried in the back room and I'm not going to dig it out right now! You should buy another brand!" With that he disappeared and never returned. ??? I'd still kinda like to buy one. Guess I'll have to drive to the other Northern Tool in Kansas.

I raise Nigerian Dwarf and a few mini crosses. They do grow differently than the large breeds. Mine seem to grow rapidly until 4-5 months and then plateau for a few months then have a growth spurt again around 8-12 months. I usually take ours away from does at 2 weeks to an inside my milking shed stall, 4x8 inside area with doggie door to a 4x8 outside play area, so I can milk the does. I allow the kids to nurse several times a day on the milking stand. This also seems to help them learn their names and like us more without bottle feeding. They get grain and have hay, they can also eat the grass in and through the outside fence. They have and automatic bowl style waterer hanging on the inside wall that is run off an ibc tote. We don't have water on that side of the property. I usually take the boys away to the bucks pen by 6-8 weeks depending on how obnoxious they get mounting the other kids and if they are extending. So they are weaned cold turkey then. I will usually band them around 8weeks for sale as pets but have been trying to wait a little longer to make sure the ureter and urethras grow big enough to not have stone issues layer. They all seem to be eating and drinking fine by then and being inside that inner stall they get frequent monitoring. I'll keep the doelings in that inner stall until I sell them or until the does are dried off to be rebred since the doelings don Not want to stop nursing and give themselves horrible scours. I'll incorporate your advice for my minis since sometimes the genetics favor the larger breed goats. Thanks.

@goatsofwar7181 Жыл бұрын

Nice comment thank you! Its a fair point to bring up the differences in breeds. Alpines dont go into heat/rut until fall and the bucks will stay in the rut until all the girls are bred or spring comes along. The does go into heat every 21 days all winter long or until bred. I have always been fascinated at the difference. If I remember right the ND breed just goes into heat every 21 days year round, is that correct? I sure enjoy the break during the spring and summer months.
