Breaking Ground On Our Greenhouse and Horse Barn | Chapter 4

[@KenMcKinnon-c4r]

Tractors are amazingly useful tools. I love the way you can cut your own trees for lumber. Termites just destroy any of our untreated timber in weeks. Thanks for sharing your projects with us.

Very interesting.

My Dad used to say his own version of Four in a Row. He would swear to me that he was convinced seeds got lonely if planted by themselves and I still plant 2 in every hole. I always plant at least twice as much as I want to harvest knowing that the wildlife are an important part of the whole system. He was the best, completely self taught, gardener I’ve ever known. He did things from observation that scientists are just now proving to be true. We had a small pig farm so he used to say: one for the crow, one for the boar, one to eat now and one to store. I say, seeds are cheap plant enough to share with the animals 😂

always fun to get to work on dreams...my attached cold frame greenhouse is getting closer to being done before fall (30x30). It helps that I can dig 8ft down to get a 45 degree temp for water heat exchange so I can push my greenhouse to a true 3 season and 4 season if I'm lucky. Looking forward to see how you decide to design your greenhouse

I built a pole barn 15 years ago on the side of a sandy hill for the first couple years it was good but after about 3 years the soil inside the barn has so much organic material in it that water no longer just seeped into it and the level of the soil inside the barn was alway getting lower from us cleaning the barn so standing water became a problem. I ended up having to dig the hill side back and make a swale to divert water and twice a year I have to move soil into the barn to keep the grade inside slightly higher then outside

Good job on the video. Sarah, I like seeing the grandkids in the video. I can't wait to get out there this summer to see everyone. I wonder who taught that man to drive a tractor, lol 😅

[@CedarHillsHomestead]

We’re looking forward to seeing you! Whoever taught Devin how to drive a tractor did a pretty good job. 😁❤️

@6:17 I noticed you have no fire break around the back side of your house...."A firebreak should be two to three times as wide as the height of the nearest surface vegetation"....I just googled that...other than that you have a wonderful place, I especially love the pond!

What was the script from 2.39 to 2.45? Audio was a bit garbled for me, so I only caught 'fit in the hole'.

[@ScorpioShotsLLC]

Loved the video! I wanted to know who is in the hutch? Is it the mom and babies or all the females and then the bucks are in the cages? I don't think this was addressed in another video but I could be wrong and was curious as we are breeders for meat rabbits too.

[@CedarHillsHomestead]

I have each rabbit (4 does + 1 buck) in 5 cages. I keep my grow out rabbits in my 5x8 coop on the cobblestone floor and in the large 3x8 hutch. I need to build even more grow out pens this summer so I can let all four rabbits raise litters at the same time. They tend to have about a dozen kits per litter.

[@ScorpioShotsLLC]

@@CedarHillsHomesteadah I see. I was confused because I saw the box of babies in the grow out hutch so I was thinking ok where’s the mom to nurse them or do you keep her in there with them until they’re old enough to wean?

[@CedarHillsHomestead]

@@ScorpioShotsLLC yes they stay with mom in her hutch until they are about a month old, sometimes longer if they seem happy together.
