@@raluadri512 yes you can absolutely graft a male mulberry onto a female and vice versa for pollination! You can also graft different varieties and cultivars of mulberries onto each other, the only non mulberry I’ve seen grafted onto a mulberry is a Che fruit, though others may be possible.

@@Creekstain oh gosh that’s a bummer! You can use some other grains/rice flour to help bind it, but real suet cakes definitely need used just in cold weather since they don’t have the binders that store bought ones have for shipping. We just kept ours stored in the freezer and then would only use them when the weather wasn’t going to get above 45-50F.

@@OldPecanHomestead yea we were very bummed out when it ran out lol!

@@ChanceBowers-l9q not yet, Kvass and Smreka are both things that have been on my list of “I should make that” for awhile, but they always leave my mind once I employ my fermenter and start a new brew of stuff. Currently fermenting the residual sugars from the pulp on an elderberry and a raspberry cheong with some added hops thrown in to dry hope for added preservation because of the low Abv content.

@@MrCuckoobox ehh, engagement is engagement as far as the algorithm is concerned. Thank you. 🤣

@@greenthicketfarm Welcome. Sorry about the House Sparrows and Starlings......Time to pull out the Pellet G()n There are House Sparrow Traps. You will never get rid of all of them; but if you can lower the local population, you will have a better chance.

@ I used to really care about it but honestly reached a point where I came to terms with the fact that they are here and aren’t going away so I might as well just build plenty of boxes and habitat for insects and let them all figure it out. Populations of starlings and House sparrows are beginning to level out across the country so I’m hopeful that the’ll settle in to reach an equilibrium with their ecosystems. Especially with bluebirds adapting by building nests ontop of house sparrow nests.

@@EgoEroTergum it was crazy good! So was the stock and soup made from the left overs!

@@calholli hmm that’s an interesting solution. I like it!

@@ChanceBowers-l9q thank you!

@@dopewaldosauce they gave it to me for free. For them it was a waste product that they needed rid of, quite a few dairy’s do this same as most breweries give away their brewers grains, cideries their pressings, and chipper trucks wood chips.

@@JoselynPawlak they do look a lot like them! One of the common names for this species group is the “Hummingbird moths”!

@@lishde3 that should definitely solve it!

@@jonas3333 it does! And it was also used as a life jacket filling during WW2! Kids and families were actually paid to collect and bring it in similar to the boom in scrap metal collection for the wartime effort.

@@masihnewbie0 glad to!

@@SolitaryMan41 yea I’ve had several folks get confused and think I’ve sold them beef by mistake because of how deep red, marbled, and flavorful it is 🤣.

@@Dianna-pm2hv thank you💚 I believe that good Agriculture is good conservation, and that good conservation is good agriculture. That as the most impactful ecosystem engineer species we have the responsibility to make that impact be for the better. That the lands we steward should be more healthy for having us on them. 💚

@@markfalgoust6910 I’d rather eat the pork instead. I’ll leave this for the beetles, flies, worms, and birds.

That’s what soap and water are for. 🤣

@@MommaMystic99 a movement tracking camera stand! It’s called Pivo it’s super handy!

@@bettinaripperger4159 great ROI! We had always planned on selling it, but never sold more than a couple buckets to friends because I always wanted more and more for our paddocks. It’s super expensive to buy, yet can be made with stuff grown on your own land or from neighbors yard waste, and 6cubic foot or so made in an hour in an old bathtub. Absolutely awesome thing to invest time in.

Good idea 💡 We ill definitely try in india .

@@badanakantiajay great!

@@greenthicketfarm can i get your contact

No I don’t, sorry! This was just so we could plant seedlings easily on our farm!

@@TsetsiStoyanova yea we thought this would be a good way to tell apart the varieties(lavender blossoms on lavender, ground juniper berries on cedar wood, ect) because of some Instagram posts we saw, but really they drive us nuts. So I brushed them off before using them sadly.

@@walkingmonument yes they pollard really well!

@@walkingmonument I was super impressed with Willow, mulberry, and hackberry for pollarding! Honey locust and Osage Orange did alright for pollarding but stellar as coppice. And I was abysmally disappointed in Silvermaple for pollarding, but it coppice absolutely great though.

@@greenthicketfarm mulberry doesn’t surprise me. Thanks for responding. Been considering a hackberry

@@walkingmonument no problem! The European hackberry was traditionally used to make pitchforks by coppicing, pollarding, and carefully pruning them to shape. Here’s an awesome video on it: ua-cam.com/video/BmNnRjhv4XY/v-deo.htmlsi=LQ5O4uOkwra5Y4-y

@@anio6865 pint jars, 40-65hrs, the higher the bees wax percentage the longer the burn was.

@@frozenpicklechips2404 do it! It’s so easy! Do you mind me asking where about since you said ocean bank? If it’s on the oregon coast there’s some beautiful salt tolerant native willows there.

They really can be! Not sure about geese, but their poop is really high in plant materials since they graze a lot like sheep…I’ll have to start looking now and see! Thanks for the inspiration!

@@greenthicketfarm yeah. just gets cleared too fast.

@@MistressOP that’s not a bad thing! Means it’s getting processed by nature quickly. I love seeing cattle paddocks that a cow pat is gone in a matter of hours when dung beetle populations get high enough.

I did think about it, and considered using the wood chipper to process it, but just never managed to get around to it! I think it would be a great idea!

I wish I’d have made a lot more of it, cause the pigs loved it as a dried hay addition to their soaked feed over the winter, especially the gals and piglets in the farrowing yards.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yup! We had kids of them all the time. At night there would be 1 or two in each of the loops on the top of the pool with ya, so easily 20+ just hanging out.

We wound up using the wood wicks on later batches and really liked them over the cotton for that very reason! Yours is a great solution!

I think you are totally right! Thank you for the correction!

Glad to help!

Yes

Yup! I have planted tons of thornless honey locusts over the years! And I love both the thornless and thorned for different uses, but the caveat to thornless honey locusts is that the genes for thorns can be “turned on” by damage to the tree. I notice this in thornless seedling ones that I wind up deciding to coppice/pollard, or in ones that pigs, goats, or rodents have decided to do so for me 🤣. The regrowth seems to have thorns just like a normal thorned one from that first cut onward.

This isn’t biochar compost, this is just biochar. It’s not becoming the topsoil though that would take an insane amount of it to do so on our half acre paddocks. My goal was to make enough to make it comprise 10% of the top 6” of soil, which is still a ton of biochar for a half acre paddock to make one bathtub at a time. As for placing on the top of the soil here that’s a context specific decision. We ran a lot of animals in our rotational grazing system, and coupled that with tall grass grazing. So that meant that essentially we could build soil layers in place, because up to 4-5x a year the grass would grow 2-4’ tall then get trampled flat, the tops die off, leaving a 1/2-2” thick dense mat of organic matter, covered in fertility rich manure and urine, then the base of the grass/forbes grows again, starting that process over. So in addition to the composting in place grass layering the biochar into the new soil, the pigs hooves also helped to drive it into the top of the soil with their impact. People’s concern with adding biochar to the soil without charging it with fertility first is that boost in microbial activity it causes pulling too many nutrients from the soil, but we actually often had too much fertility in this paddock so this actually helped to tie it in place and make sure it didn’t leave our farm and pollute down stream as runoff.

Yes, as long as you use the Noromectin Injectable 1% solution for swine and cattle. It’s approved off label as an oral dewormer for pigs and dogs per our vet. 1cc/50lbs live weight.

@@greenthicketfarm i appreciate you for responding! She’s about 10-15 lbs what’s the dose for her size?

@@nateperez478 no problem, I hate leaving people hanging if I can help out! For that size I’d give her 1/4cc. Does she have visible parasites I.e worms in her poop, or lice? Or are you wanting to give this as a preventative? If as a preventative just give this once a year, if she has visible parasites then give that dosage 3 separate times 11 days apart to hit the hatching cycles of the parasites, and then move to annually from there.

@@greenthicketfarm i just got her and she hasn’t been wormed since birth she’s around 4-5 months old, she started rubbing her bottom on the ground yesterday and looks a little thinner than usual.

Don’t we all! They are a really fun one to find, not super common here in Missouri but Oklahoma Texas and Kansas they are quite a bit more common in regenerative pastures.

There was a good bit of germination! Unfortunately we sold the farm this spring and I started managing a farm up here in Kansas City for this past year, but here in October we will start traveling the country to find agrihoods and farms that are also working on this kind of stuff!

What spacing are you planing between each one when you plant them? Looking to transplant my 200 to make a fencerow along neighboring property.

Thank you! Here’s the set up, just make sure you fully quench! Make Biochar the easy way…with a Bathtub! ua-cam.com/video/SSSnXDQXMYw/v-deo.html

It’s an odd climate for sure lol, the record high and low for Springfield Missouri is 45c and -38c so we definitely can get a crazy swing. I think the worst I’ve farmed in here has been about 43c and -23c. Happy I could help! Good luck with your upcoming litters!
