How do you cut the grass right up to the landscapiing fabric in your fields?

I’m with you!! I don’t have a farm but I did want to plant lavender in a large bed. I have killed about 26 lavender plants and wasted lots of hard work and money.

Thank you! I live in San Diego with clay soil and was about to make the same mistakes. Easy fix!

@danny___928 Ай бұрын

if it helps: Lavender loves crappy soil. Literally. I have mine in pots, and my soil mix, is basically 1/4 soil, 1/2 perlite, 1/2 coarse/chunky sand, and if i have some lava rock ill throw that in too, and some lime cause lavender likes alkaline soil.

Hello, Thank you for the nice video. We are actually starting a small lavender farm :) It looks like the way you covered the soil avoids any water from coming to the plants. Do you need to water them once in a while at the base, or how does it function for you? Thank you!

@ironoakfarm9045 Ай бұрын

We only watered by hand until the plants were established. After that, the rain is enough

Thank you! We are in the process of clearing away all cotton wood and brambles from our 2 acres and I was hoping to grow a 1/2 acre of lavender. Unfortunately we have clay soil as well and I’ve been watching every KZbin video I can find, looking for ways to successfully grow lavender with our soil conditions. So thankful for your advice and to see your success!!

We only have 5 acres of what is left of the family homestead. A couple of years ago, as a bit of an experiment, I decided to try take hay off of a couple of newly cleared areas. Total, that might be 2 1/2 acreas. I had done the research to understand what an average yield was off an acre and thought at the very least, it would help offset feed costs. If, that is, I could do it on the cheap. I already had the tractor and trailers, but I scrounged up a $50 JD #5 mower like yours and a $250 M-H #11 hay rake. Mower needed some work, but the rake I paid a premium on as the guy delivered it. lol We pick it up with pitch forks. Now, a baler sounds good, but it really only means a more convenient package in the end, and the goats have no issues with loose hay. I am not sure we are going to do this long term, but very rewarding to put up our own hay and it has been worth the little bit of an investment and the time. Now, if I could only get some rain so we can get a second cutting... Take care!

@ironoakfarm9045 Жыл бұрын

It's extremely rewarding to be able to put up your own hay for sure. Our setup is years in the making. I bought two of the JD sickles for $100 and had to rebuild one with parts from the other and make some parts from scratch to get it working great. I was able to find that baler about 10 years ago and I think we paid $800 for it. Although it did work, it was a challenge. Over the years I've repaired and rebuilt little bits here and there and now it's working great in my opinion. So for $1000 or so and some mechanical repairs we can put up our own hay. It's all paid for itself many times over considering the cost of hay. Working with this old equipment can certainly test your patience for sure, but when it all comes together it's that much sweeter.

@ironoakfarm9045 Жыл бұрын

And yes, we could definitely use the rain. The fields aren't doing much since that first cutting!

It's cool to see and get a better understanding of the bee hives, does it have any effect because they are so close together?

@ironoakfarm9045 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! They can be touching and not be a problem actually. They're pretty good at finding their way home. Some commercial bee keepers will put 4 hives on a regular sized pallet.

Why do you use pine pellets before the pine shavings? Just curious!

@ironoakfarm9045 Жыл бұрын

The pine pellets are super absorbent and then the pine shavings are softer for them to lay on.

If you're going to wipe an udder, use just water (and soap if necessary, but then rinse) - not commercial wipes. Those chemicals end up directly in the milk. Better to just dry milk them unless they are really dirty. Good to see the somatic cells stripped out before holding :)

So you milk from behind them? You don't worry about them pooping or kicking? Sorry, new to this...

@ryanbolt9412 4 жыл бұрын

That is what I was thinking. 40 years of milking goats. I have Never milked a goat or cow from the ass end. A goat will do its thing Just standing there. From the back end it will be all over you, the big. Just a bad idea. From the side you can use a arm to block a leg from kicking jug. Pull jug from yellow rain. But if you like your milk with natural sprinkles hay keep it up.

On Jan 19, 2017, we welcomed twins in our goat shed. The buck has ears just like your Huckleberry with a light edge. Both doe and buck are black with white marks. Sire pygora. Dam is Toggenberg/Alpine and Nubian/LaMancha mixed. The kids had such thick black fur, curly but then relaxed to a wave when it dried. They are so incredibly soft and the buck is like a rabbit, and seems to be growing fluffier. If they have guard hairs, they are extremely soft. I enjoyed seeing your video so much. I have had only milk goats til last year when we got the two pygora bucks, and they are so badly behaved I have not been able to do anything with their fiber except pay a nice shearer to shear them.
