Two corn seeds stuck in 1 hole equal no corn .sorry have had no good luck with my hoss seeder.bought a Jang has some roller problems but more hope than my hoss.
@PossumRidgeFarms 12 сағат бұрын
The Jang is a fine seeder. With the Hoss seeder, you should not have two seeds in the same hole if your seed plate matches the size of the corn seed you are using. I have made a couple of seed plates to deal with this issue. Good luck with your corn and thanks for watching

Yes, I wear it all day, no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes, I'm far from the house, and I can't afford to go back for it in an urgent situation. Predators have been a major issue this year. You can see an example in my latest calf rescue video. We've had coyotes attack our livestock in the past, and it's been pretty bad. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions.

You are welcome! Typically, we plant conservatively, but for tomatoes, I wait until nighttime temperatures are in the 70s before planting, which is usually around Memorial Day. Tomatoes thrive in summer heat, so once they are planted, they grow rapidly. Good luck with your tomatoes, and thanks for watching!

Great video. I’m sold. What size is the stirrup hoe? I’m thinking the large one is the 12” and the one you have mounted is the 8”.
@PossumRidgeFarms 8 күн бұрын
Thanks, you are correct. We have both the 8 and the 12-inch stirrups for the Hoss wheel hoe, the whizbang is a little smaller maybe around 7 inches. I bought the 12 first and went back later and got the 8-inch (the 12 will wear you out when working with it for long periods in the heat). If used frequently you can’t beat the wheel hoe for weeds.

You are very welcome. Unfortunately, this was not our only major tornado over the years. We have lost a barn, about 500 feet of fence, various parts of the house including part of the roof. Living in Dixie Alley tornados are a way of life and planning for them is pretty common. The one thing I have learned over the years is that no one is coming to help (at least for a while) and you need to be prepared. Thanks for watching and good luck in your planning

I tried pole beans for the first time last year. Yeah, I know, 'first time' for such an obvious crop, but I've spent my career moving from place to place and not having a garden. I was blown away with how prolific they were--once I figured out how to keep the robins from digging them up. Your video is just in time because I don't want to mess with trellising this year. Thanks for reminding me that there's such a thing as bush beans. Do you guys have problems with birds digging up your beans? Do you save beans for planting the following year?

i bought a middle buster this year and completed in 30 minutes what took us a few days to do last year. i make big hills to plant in as our soil drainage still needs improvement. planting sensitive crops in the center of the hills really seems to save plants from big dumps of water. i suspect furrows provide the opposite advantage in dry climates. it's an interesting way to garden or farm at these scales.

@PossumRidgeFarms 28 күн бұрын
True but it’s not that easy…..In one of the best-known studies, Michigan State University botany professor William Beal in 1879 stored more than 20 different kinds of weed seeds in 20 sand-filled bottles, then buried them three feet deep. He and his successors dug up the bottles at intervals over the decades and found that even 130 years later, some weed seeds were still viable.
@michaelvineyard4874 28 күн бұрын
The part I don’t understand is how the stirrup hoe/wheel hoe doesn’t cause the same issue as a tiller with basically planting more weed seed by disturbing the ground.
@PossumRidgeFarms 28 күн бұрын
Great question!!! The wheel hoe cultivates at a level just below the surface of the soil thus disturbing much less soil. Because you are pushing If you start to go too deep you will know it by increased resistance. With a tiller you can go too deep and never know it until your weed pressure increases. We have used both methods and for us the wheel hoe is a better long-term method for weed reduction. Thanks for watching
@michaelvineyard4874 28 күн бұрын
@@PossumRidgeFarms okay. So you also have experience that using a hoe results in fewer weeds being seeded than the tiller. I asked because I have a much smaller area so I have a basic handheld stirrup I can use. Thank you for responding.
