Time to Use our Compost Made by Our Chickens (and Woodchips)

In this video, I fill some raised beds with our homemade compost generated by the chicken church setup. This system has been producing incredible quantities of compost. As I keep adding raised beds and expanding the garden, this compost is the perfect material to fill them. Excited for what this growing season has to offer.

One thing I figured out with deer is that they don't tend to see wire fences or some netting and will go right through it causing damage. However if I used some colored duct tape and made little flags, a couple inches long, they would see it and not damage it as much. Might help with your almost invisible net as well.

This reminded me that I need to clean out my chicken coops in the next thaw we get.

Urea plan reminds me of grandmas place that had an outhouse, so the boys made daily urea deposits right outside of porch

[@MyAlaska12]

I recently found your channel and like it. I love the West Virginia area also. I'm from the Pittsburgh area. If I ever move from Alaska, West Virginia would be one of very few places I would consider.

Happy New Year to you and your family

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

I remember when you collected that pile of compost...I am watching this video on the Sunday it was released...Happy New Year to you & your Family ❤ Bonnie

[@peggypastime1278]

My eldest grandson was raised in the country and when he was little, I had to explain how it might be problematic to use our front yard for a bathroom! LOL

[@henrymorgan3982]

Happy Compost Pile New Year to All!!

[@kniftar]

We need a full video of you just playing with Timber.

[@bethepowell]

My dog Kolton would love that. She goes crazy when she sees Timber on the tv. 😂

[@timhockersmith3934]

Nice video, Troy! Well done.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Of course the traditional way to stop strawberries going slimy is to have a thick mulch of straw (hence the name) to keep them well clear of the soil, as you’ve started. Electric netting around your garden beds will help deter the deer!

[@Creative-Chaos]

Ben from the Holler Homestead Recommended your channel. I’m over here watching for the first time.

[@RedToolHouse]

We love Ben and Meg. Great family. Welcome!

[@conniea9201]

Same, Ben from Homestead shop talk

[@patience1226]

Great video!

[@karenhudson6340]

I recommend your daily urea deposit come from the ground level rather than from the height of the deck level. Minimize the Splash Factor, ya know...

[@johnk.3593]

The uria has the benefit of keeping the deer and rabbits out of your raised bed.

[@bradjenkins932]

LOL.

[@jbbrown7907]

The holidays are a tome of family. Don't you have two teemsge boys to fill and run your wheelbarrow? Create memories.

[@RedToolHouse]

Both have full time jobs. We make memories in times of respite as well.

[@jbbrown7907]

@RedToolHouse just a thought

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

good video

[@RedToolHouse]

Thanks!

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

You need to get you an electro deer repellent device around the strawberry bed.

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

That’s what the dogs are for😉

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

@@HarrisonCountyStudio As long as they are 24-7 on the fence. In my area the deer avoid the times the dogs are around.

[@marcschroter]

Acreage life, where you can piss off the porch instead of pissing off the neighbours!

[@JoshuaRBuck]

I stopped doing raised beds of more than 6 inches around my barn and house because they kept becoming rat havens.

[@RedToolHouse]

We have 3 cats that have helped curb rodent populations around our gardens.

[@JoshuaRBuck]

@RedToolHouse I always forget because I live up on a main road so mine stay indoors. Too many neighbors ended up with flat cats.

[@tradermunky1998]

Don't lie Troy, it's not an urea "experiment". You just enjoy peeing off the deck, I get it, what guy wouldn't? What I don't get is why you want everyone watching you from the county road? That's a little weird... 😂

[@bradjenkins932]

What?

[@RedToolHouse]

Yes, I always joke that I didn’t buy this property and go through all of this work building a homestead if I couldn’t pre where I want to. I usually wait until county road traffic has passed. It is a dead end, gravel road so the track is minimal at best.

[@jimputnam2044]

Thanks for the video...but mostly thanks for not showing you, your wife, and kids peeing in the planter.
