Great trellis design, I think I'll try to incorporate some of these ideas into my mixed berry/vine trellis. I love how much tension adjustment you've afforded! Would you do anything different or change/improve the design if you built it again?
@homesteadohio 4 күн бұрын
I have started to add a mid wire on a couple of the rows so far, I'll probably finish those in the Spring. I did change a little bit compared to the first ones I built a couple years ago. I use a single number 9 wire on the top, in stead of the 3 strands of number 12 wire. The wood posts may be a little overkill but I like the look of them better than steel "T" posts. Who knows what the future will bring. Thanks for watching!

Man i would be super interested in knowing the lumber size for everything and cut sizes. I'd be willing to pay for it as well!
@homesteadohio Ай бұрын
Unfortunately, I didn't write anything down. I may have sketched something on a piece of scrap paper to work out some math but most of it was just cluttering up my head. I believe I mentioned all the lumber sizes in the video. Everything is just 4x4, 2x8, 2x6, and 2x4s. Various lengths depending on how far I wanted something spaced. The rest of it was just following general construction practices. (ish) I don't know that I could legally provide you with sizes and dimensions anyway. Thanks for watching!

Yes, Amazon is an American company and there are some American made products on there, but the bulk of it is from China. I agree with the "second hand" idea, but finding one of these setups used would be hard, not to mention 3 of them. I had even thought about making a similar setup myself, but the components would be made in China anyway.

You are correct. Unfortunately, the system I used probably won't support 80 emitters. I will probably move them from one side to the other until I can install a more permanent irrigation system.

For me, drip is the only way to go. I got tired of sprinkle watering areas that didn't need it in the garden and only made the weeds happy. I installed a Dripworks system three years ago and haven't looked back. The garden starts about a 150' from the house and all the lines have a shutoff coming off of the manifold so I only open the lines with plants on them. I walk out of the backdoor, turn the spigot on that feeds the system, set the timer for three house, go back to the recliner and wait for the timer to go off. Sort of. Happy farming Richard! JimE

Great job. As you said, it's very satisfying. Last season was our first year baling our hay. $1,500 haybine, $700 baler and a $350 rake. We didn't have to buy $1500 in hay last year and we have 300 bales in the barn so far this year.
@homesteadohio 6 ай бұрын
I used to dread driving 15 miles to go buy hay from somebody else, haul it to the house and stack it in the loft. Then I'd have to wonder if I bought enough to feed the goats through the winter. I'm sure I spent more money buying hay in the past than I have in the equipment I just bought. I sold all my goats a few years ago, but I may have to get a few more soon, especially since I don't have to rely on an outside source anymore! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

It used to be piled on a wagon and put up the the loft loose. These machines made it easier to gather and compacted it so it took up a lot less space in the barns. The balers are pretty amazing machines and it's really cool to see how they go through all the steps to produce a nicely packaged bundle of grass. The tough part is picking them up in the field and loading them onto the trailer!

@homesteadohio 6 ай бұрын
I did shut it down while cleaning it out, both the PTO and the tractor too. I'm not reaching in there while everything is spinning! When feeding it by hand, you just toss the grass at the pickup teeth and let it do the rest. The chances of me getting pulled in from where I was at are pretty much zero. The teeth are not strong enough to pick me up and the guard on the front keeps me far enough away that I cannot touch the auger without leaning over it. It might not look like it from the angle of the camera, but I was in a pretty safe area. Thanks for your concern and thanks for watching too!
