I started to have a small garden, ended up with 200 tomato plants, 125 peppers, 8 rows okra, 7 rows squash… this happens when you have a little tractor and build a little greenhouse and start growing plants from seeds. 🥴I sold some plants, gave some away, I’ll do the same thing with veggies. That’s what you do when you get old. It’s not about you, it’s about others.

make sure that you water those pots a couple of times a day when it gets hot because they dry out real fast and you have a couple of small half inch drain holes so the roots do not rot. also thin out your corn to 6 inch apart, just pull them out and replant them while they are small

[@jeffhaayema9400]

Hey Russell we used to own a garden nursery , and we just watered the pots by hand , hold the hose over each pot , fill it up to the top then move to the next one , by the time you have the last one done , go back to the first one and do it again , they should then be well watered and for your 20 pots should only take about 15-20 min.

Yes, build a stand and pump water into a large tote, run pump almost continuously by solar filling the tank , then water with the tank. Put tank above garden so gravity force will take water to end of hose.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Not sure how that's any different than pumping water.

this irrigation suggestion works in my head. get a barrel, elevate it yeh high, pump water into barrel, and then drip-hose the garden-pots from the barrel. like i said, it works in my head. this is another suggestion from my head. get a bunch of corrugated pipes, 4-5 feet diameter, cut them yeh high, stand them up in the mud-holes, fill them with stones/gravel, build a bridge on top. it works in my head.

Get yourself a moisture probe from your garden supplier, around 10 bucks. Simply push into the soil and read the dial. Some units come with a chart that give recommendations for moisture levels for various fruit and vegetables.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

You can also slow drip water into pots with a spike attachment thing that screws into a plastic bottle mouth. The upside down (2L) soda bottle inverted. An air inlet hole at one end. Or cut off bottle bottom if filling with watering can.

The roots will find the water, just don’t let them get too dry or too wet. I hope your little pot garden is productive. Maybe next year invest in larger pots for the potatoes, the larger the pot the bigger the harvest.

Soaker hoses need more pressure, especially the type you are using. I used those one year, they were no good the next year. Use a drip irrigation system. You can place an individual sprinkler in each pot, requires less pressure, and uses less water.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Yeah I might do something different next year. I don't expect these hoses to last longer than a season.

You misunderstood the assignment.. Lol..

Russell. Have you tried throwing moth balls around to keep the mosquitoes and flies at bay. And you could mix up homemade fly spray. Also, try putting vicks vapor rub on you and the dogs ears. And take vitamin B complex. Ask vet about B vitamins for dogs. Also, could you get your path to your cabin considered a County road so the county would keep it up? Maybe talk to your County Commissioner

Russell, why not put in a drip system. It's cheap and requires no skill to install. You can run a quarter inch hose to each pot which will direct the water where it is needed.

[@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin]

Richard, things are "no skill required" until Russell tries to do them. I invented Level 0.

[@thestu4602]

Have you thunk about building some raised veggie garden beds, that way you can level out the beds & get even water across them. As for Doggo's ears, use thick coating of Vaseline (Not IN the ear) so fly's cannot penetrate & keep biting, good luck

Hey Russell, just advice from this member of Ontario Nature, please refrain from touching any wild birds in a nest...or baby deer, baby rabbits etc. You can hear the mother Robin in the background giving the low alarm to the babies. All bird nests are built to size. Those birds all look ready to fledge (leave the nest). Human intervention is not required and usually detrimental. Otherwise, great video.

i was thinking a simpler suggestion for the muddy tracks, get some corrugated pipes, 2,3,4 feet in diameter, and long, lay 3 or 4 pipes side-by-side in the muddy track, bury the pipes with earth, and this should raise your road above the water line and keep it dry. the ends of the pipes will need to be reinforced to prevent crushing. as i said before, my suggestions only work in my head.🤯

Gidday Ray, what a cool auction house. And no, i never get sick of gardening content. Have you and city girl ever thought of starting a hugelkultur garden bed, may be worth considering. Ive mentioned in the past i have a black female lab (Marley) so many similarities to your Junebug. Anyway for years i went through the same deal, ear infections, my golden lab never had the problem. In desperation one day when i couldn't get into the vets i made up a 50-50 mix of filtered water and organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Although not recommended by the vet, i gave a quick spray in each ear, did this a few times a the problem was resolved. No ear/yeast infections now for 4 or 5 years. Next time you see your vet ask the question? I'd be interested in the response. Great video as usual. Cheers

Would it work to have some plant pots full of dirt and stones and push in a "Y shaped stick and place them between the planted pots and hang the hose just over the potted plants placed running and supported through the "Y of the stick so the water drips on the plants.
