Cool!.. i have shredded newspaper in my worm farm but I've never done the lauers like you have plus i need to go feed my worms and I have some eggg cartons so I'll try that now. Thanks 👍

Ive been feeding on two levels and i always keep the tap open...and i like the idea of putting some Lucerne mulch in the very bottom yray where the liquid drips out..i find there are still a few worms down there also so it looks like from what ive seen so far in numerous videos im doing everything right for my worms..one thing i have found they dont like celery the never seem to touch it or cabbage except for the very outside leaves..who would of thought...fussy worms 😂..in that vodeo what was yhe white stuff he had in those trays ? Thanks 👍

Ive had my worms now for about 3 months now and they are doing really well.. I just went to Bunnings and got the stackable shelf worm farm a bit like your round shelf system in an earlier video you showed and i see that you dont shred newspaper etc like i do plus i cut up the veggie scraps, i also use coffee grounds, crushed egg shells and cardboard/ egg cartons plus a worm blanket...and with the water you seem to use a lot of water so my question is am i doing everything right and how wet should I be using on my worms ?. Also i have worms in my compost piles and ive got some worms going into different parts of the veggie patch. I don't know alot about this subject only from watching tutorials like yours here on KZbin and what i have read. I live on the Barrington Coast but in a rural area and we get hot humid summer sell we did last summer as it was our first summer here and winter well apart from a few days here and there has been quite mild. We get a lovely cross breeze where se are and surrounded by bush amd im loving my new lifestyle and eager to learn so much more on all these subjects so thanks for sharing your content as its been very valuable. We haven't had to buy much in the way of fruits and vegetables as we are growing a majority ourselves which has been awesome 🌳🥦🌸🍋🥬🥒🐛🦋🍅🥑🫑🐝🐛🦋

I've started growing comfrey but I think I should move it cause where it is it's in full sun..if I was to plant it under a lime tree would that be okay even though it's in a sunny position it will still get the shade from being under the tree ?.. I've just discovered your channel and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing especially about worm farming your explanations have been very helpful.🖐️🙂

great idea. make the connection. from garden to gourmet. I heard you say many moons ago that you were reluctant to be another cooking show but it has legs. excited to see what the team comes up with. retail opportunities?

You are the best Sherlee

Love to see some cooking. Keep up the good work Marty.....Love your channel

Good Morning Marty & Sherly Chickens getting on great together Have a nice day Marty, have a nice sleep Sherly😊

yes cooking in the yard is the best!

lovely ladies...❤

Beautiful sunrise and foggy mornings end up being the best days!💪 the paddock owners wouldn't mind you grabbing a bit of cow manure every now and then?

Hey Marty & Shirley, your micro farm is coming along nicely, yes awesome idea setting up a camp/cooking zone using harvested produce. Great work thanks guys.

I'm trying to figure out which of the hens is Henrietta, Mart?

Are you enjoying the vlogs? Lots going on and coming up!

Great to see you have chooks again. Blessings from South Australia 🌏🦘🦘❤

✌️😎

Wee tip m8 best time to introduce hens is nighttime just perch them and less likely to fight

THERES ONE THING ABOUT KZbin..THEY DONT LIKE THE TRUTH BEING TOLD TO PEOPLE UNLESS IT CAUSES HARM TO THEM..EVIL COMPANY

Do not use steel tools in your soil as it takes the electric out of the soil..use copper brass or bronze tools..

If you want the best soil in the world then put balls of copper foil in your soil to electrify the soil from the ether above..plants and vegetables will grow super size..also put copper antennas in the soil to act like a tree to put electric in to the soil aswell..this was well known in the 1930s and was called electro culture

Good for garden, invasive for the wild. But at least you're in the city.

👏👏👏

Looking forward to watching the journey Marty

I have 5 chooks for 5 of us but I’m going to get a few more because we have to not eat eggs for a few days if we want to build up a box. They’ll always be a pecking order but that doesn’t mean the original chooks will be boss🍺🍺

Eight! Wow! We are only allowed a maximum of six chickens in our city. Lucky you! Sending chicken cuddles, from WA. 🐔

Looks like the new chickens integrated well Marty, Sherly, and Karin. You’ll need some free vegetables scraps to reduce feed bill😊

Fun..

Good morning everyone, I laughed very loudly when the back car door opened up. With a big box of chickens and a brand new grill.😊

Hello @TeamMartysGarden 🙋‍♀️ Great to see Karen as part of the team. She's growing up so fast! 😢😊 Congrats on the marriage, may you prosper together. I look forward to catching up on how youre doing these days. 🙋‍♀️💜

✌️😎

✌️😎

✌️😎 mark from self sufficient me had best method build compost feeding bay for all your garden waste and free feed

well done on that harvest

yep get more, you've got room there. I usually have 8-10 - I have plenty of space in Sydney (kurnell); They help my composting system like nothing else. the girls are the best. eggs go light during winter as expected.

Kids being kids is awesome

Looks like its still raining 😂

My hay goes mouldy when wet...🤔

Chickens love comfrey too

At the end I'm so happy and smiling huge for you guys, Marty, We'll meet one day probably for a 🌊 somewhere soon as i haven't been in the water for nearly two years and it's getting closer every day before I'll go for a paddle again. I have 2 the same as your brown ones, four mixed game hens, 2 i think coochin cross langshan bantam hens, 2 langshan bantam hens, one Australorp bantam hen. Then 1 leghorn rooster, one other huge rooster big boy, and two langshan bantam roosters. You could say i definitely don't need an alarm clock ⏰ anymore. Have a great weekend. I can't wait to see your new chooks.

I finally got my chickens last year. We have 10 Isa browns and average 8-9 eggs each day. I use 8 eggs minimum each morning for our family of 3 breakfast. 4 chickens would not be enough for us but it’s a start.

Try building Roosting Bar over the Top of your Hay-bales, so the Chickens are fertilising while they're sleeping 🐔

Happy to see you’ve got chooks again! But, what happened to the chicken coop you used to have? And bandicoots attack chooks, did you say?

Can’t wait to have my own , need to build their home first. Do you have boxes for nesting? Have a dry weekend 😊

I always wonder if 4 was enough thanks for makeing this video now i know👍

It's a BIG NO FROM ME. You always need more, I say get another four just to make sure. Another great very cheap feed is soak and cook well beans and boiled rice, and or cooked pasta. Raw beans are toxic to chickens. I have eleven hens and four roosters, but I live on eight acres. It's definitely a happy garden when you have chooks. Also you can never have enough free eggs to go with all of the free food in the garden. This year I'm really concentrating on growing a lot of if not all of my chickens food. This way is the only way to really know that your chook food is chemical free. I watched a video of a fully self-sufficient family that had full blood tests and they all came back healthy except for the really high levels of wait for it "glyphosate/roundup" now they thought this to be very strange as they haven't used any ag. Chemicals for a long time, so they traced it back to the commercial chicken food that they have always bought. Now my own experience is that unless it's from a fully organic farm, most if not all grain crops grown are finished off by spraying the field with yes Roundup/ glyphosate as to allow for easy harvest. I hope my information helps you and everyone else that you can reach out to. Happy gardening as always green love 💚🌲🙏

I’d love chickens, but don’t think the dogs would understand, and also wouldn’t be able to cope with anything dead or killed by foxes. Lol I’m a wimp.

You are a family of 3 I think you’ll be fine unless you need more eggs 😊 Have a wonderful day I’m sure being Saturday you’ll be busy.😊 Hope you’re feeling better Sherly 😊,

Wish we lived near ya so could buy and learn for you locally lol That looks like great compost and great worms throughout. We doing a lotta work in the house atm and I hope that when I’m able to get to my worm farms- as the table they on/ under is blocked in the corner by lots of boxes full of stuff that’s been moved to allow us to paint lol. I just pray they are ok. They did have a lot of bedding so even though they not been getting food scraps I hope they are ok. Need to try to get to them but with a 14week old puppy running around for 6hrs a day atm I can’t make a mess and let him get hold of it as he’s eating everything.

Best method I’ve found is a collection of a few, I use well placed beer traps in beds with delicate plants, small planks of wood scattered around garden edge to collect snails to throw back over the fence and now and again a collection of seaweed as a mulch I never wash salt of as I found it not to be a problem as it deters slugs until first rain plus those extra micro nutrients in seasalt works wonders for soil and best trick of all is a compost heap as slugs and snails are natural decomposers so a food source that’s not living should help keep them busy ✌️😎

Them worms are looking great my friend ❤️
