That's a great idea! I don't think I showed it here but our side roosting bars aren't actually connected to anything, I just lean it against the wall and being nudged against the wall and the floor it holds nice! It's held that way for over a year even with all of our chickens weight on it. So whenever I go for a full coop cleanup it's easy to take it out and bring it back in. In the future when I update those bars I will do something a little more secure that I can lift up though! :)

I bet that works great! We have a large IBC tote that I plan on making a self filling waterer with a float device and all that for our goats and pigs sometime soon!

I saw the idea a while back online and thought it was brilliant! I love how much easier it is to clean and it helps keep a barrier to protect the wood from soaking everything in.

It is hard and it’s definitely not for everyone! You just have to take pride in knowing you are doing all you can even if things don’t work out.

We are, and we have plenty of the droppings 😂 I had put some directly on one bed early season and they still haven’t broken down, but I have a friend that makes a “soup” with it that I think would work really well. Since my garden was lacking so bad in nutrients I just wanted something I felt like would be quick and strong, but I’m definitely going to utilize the free fertilizer the rabbits give in the future!!

Haha! We don’t need anymore roosters than the one!! That was my first time using the fertilizer, and I agree it was not enough. The next few times I upped it from about 2 gallons to 4-5 gallons and I saw tremendous improvement in the garden in the weeks that followed! I even started to get a few (small) jalapeños! I’ve backed off a little to not overdo it with the fertilizer but the next time I use it I’m definitely going to do what you suggested and just sprinkle the fertilizer then water, that seems much easier and quicker! Thanks for the tip!

I’m in the south too, north Arkansas, so I feel that long summer heat! I’m giving broccoli another shot this fall, I’m starting seeds today so hopefully I can get a little more practice in before the last frost 🤞🏼

@@NeoKailthas I definitely don’t think watering is the issue, I’ll admit I’ve slacked off quite a bit after not seeing much return, but I definitely stayed on top of it for a while! In the next part of the video I test the soil and I think we figure out what the big issue is! That should be up in the next day or too. We got our compost from a local plant nursery and I assumed that would be good enough without amending it in any way, probably a rookie mistake 😬

@@RaisingHaneys Looking forward to it. I am glad you figured out the issue. The reason I asked about the source of the compost, is because I've seen people kill their soil for a year because the compost they used wasn't ready yet. Either way good luck with your garden!

I’ll try that next time! Thanks for the tip!

I totally didn’t think about it until I threw them out! I’ll definitely be saving seeds in the future!

Oh yes! The chickens loved these!

Thank you! I checked out your page and everything looks so wonderful! Y’all are doing a FANTASTIC job!! 😄

Thank you so much, that is all such wonderful advice! All this is still pretty new to me so I’m just trying to learn as I go. Since this video I haven’t noticed anymore squash bugs or eggs but one of my pumpkins got infested with a squash vine borer so I’m really trying to avoid the spread of them! I have marigolds planted and I have noticed the borers being attracted to them so that seems to be working too! I’ll definitely add some trellis’s next year and try again using those!

That’s just a temporary corral that you see there that we put up to be able to work the animals that week, we wanted it to be easy to put up and take down. What you see here is just held up with zip ties, definitely not meant to last! Our actual full pasture is very secure with posts set in concrete and everything reinforced. So far we’ve had them (plus 3 pigs) inside our large fenced area and no one’s gotten out so so far so good! We do plan to take down this corral you see here and move it around wherever it suits us best for the moment! 😄

It’s a home steading farm mate we sell livestock if you don’t like it move on. Sorry we don’t have the correct amount of land for you.

I think the garden seal worked great! It went on super easy and not sticky at all once it fully dried! Since using a cheaper wood I wanted to seal them so I can get as many years out of them as I can and so far they are holding up nicely!

@@RaisingHaneys Thank you so much for taking the time for this detailed response! Happy to hear you've had great product performance so far! I'm in the same boat--I need the raised beds I made out of lower cost wood to last as long as absolutely possible.

Im glad I could help! I will say on the 8 ft side I only used a small metal bracket for reinforcement and I wish I would’ve used multiple 2x4s instead! As soon as we added the dirt and everything settled our boards starting bowing out and now it’s too bowed to add reinforcements 😬
