Can we feed our chickens FOR FREE?
Are you tired of buying chicken feed? We sure are! Luckily, there are lots of different ways to reduce, if not eliminate your chicken feed bill! One of the most promising I've seen so far comes from @PermaPasturesFarm21. This is our attempt to adapt and implement their method of feeding an entire flock without buying layer feed. according to their channel, this method can work for both egg layers as well as heritage breeds of meat chickens.
For more information on this method, check out the Chicken Tractor On Steroids playlist from Perma Pastures Farm: ua-cam.com/video/CJjhO3CmjLk/v-deo.html&pp=iAQB

Putting Pigs To Work In The Garden
Переглядів 561Рік тому
There are no free rides on a homestead. Even if you're a pig, you have to earn your keep, and it is time for us to move our pigs out to the garden and put them to work. We are attempting to turn a part of our pasture into a vegetable garden, but it has been nearly impossible to stop the weeds and grass from taking over. So, we have decided to run our pigs through it to clear some ground. That i...

Day 2: Let's Check On The #sheep
Переглядів 259Рік тому
We are 48 hours into our new journey with sheep, and we are still a little bit concerned. There are a few that do not seem to be particularly healthy. Maybe we are just overthinking things because we are inexperienced, but some things just don't seem right. There is one animal who seems legitimately sick and a couple of others that seem to be limping and hobbling around. I sure hope this doesn'...

This is something that we've been planning for a long time. We first thought that we wanted to get cattle for our pasture. However, after doing our research, we decided that sheep would be the be the best option for livestock on our #homestead. Today, we had our first sheep delivered to us! We are now the proud owners of 15 Katahdin/Dorper cross ewes!! Our plan is to utilize rotational grazing ...

    what is the latin name of these bugs? are they the same who attack tomatoes, eggplant and almost everything? and if u push it with a stick or somehow endanger it, than it smells very bad. We call it bad-small bug in one word. if that's the same and this works that will be very good because I spray with special insecticid for these F*kin bugs they are awful. Also have one question about the dish soap isn't it dangerous for the plants in some way or for the soil? also thank you for the video Edit: oh i see the end of the video indeed they are the bad smell bugs I saw the mature one I recongised it instantly these bugs also have 1 or more variation that is green and it masking very good in all the weeds and plants.

    The obvious question (and I'm sure it has been asked; I just can't find it) is: "Is it safe for the plants?"

    I had a terrible infestation. Not those bugs, but still pretty bad, these little things that burrow in & eat out, sucking out the inside of the plant. Well, I sprayed dish-soap all over my plants & sadly & terribly it sealed the "air ways" of the plants and "Unalived" My Plants! 🤯😭🤬😭‼️ (In the past I used straight dish soap to "doff-off-this-mortal-coil" weeds & it works *Marvelously*! 👍🏼👍🏼‼️ This time I Watered the dish-soap down by a TON. & Made sure to rinse off the dish soap extremely well the very next day. Still "caused my plants to pass"! 😭‼️) So I'm *Extremely Curious* how Your plants fair and if this works. Granted I was growing in pots, not in a yard, I didn't have big healthy weeds all over next to my plants AND, my plants were weak, barely growing, but pretty healthy despite the bug problems. So after spraying my plants & pretty much, instantly... doffing them, well; I'm worried for yours. But curious now too. 🤔💭🧐🤔‼️

    It's a constant fight regardless. The reason the eggs change location is because the bugs realize that you are killing them off. They will lay one single egg on a stock lay a cluster in another place I've even seen eggs directly on the zucchini itself. The bugs do this for survival. I have a 16-ft box 4 ft wide. I take a literal vacuum cleaner and vacuum them with the vacuum hose. I removed the leaves to have eggs but I see that this is troublesome because the plant cannot get enough food from the sunlight because there is so many eggs.

    Soap made with sodium hydroxide has salt in it. You don't want salt in your garden. Soap made with Potassium hydroxide doesn't have any salt in it. It will be a liquid soap, but very few liquid soaps are made with potassium hydroxide. Try Doctor Bronner's for one.

    soapy waterr does work with no doubt.. however right now we are in triple digits and i decided to go with 7 dust which i used a cheap spot sandblasting sprayer to distrubute the powder .. it worked like a charm . I got upwind with the sprayer and within 1 minute i had dusted the whole squash and pumpkin patch down.. the dust gets all the way into the thick areas . i just shot it really low to the ground and in a few of the thicker areas i just stuck it close in the leaves and shot strait into the ground. However the soap does do the job on contact.. after using soapy water a lot of these utubers forget to tell you after 15 to 30 minutes make sure you wash it off the leavees or you will burn the plant .

    Ajax is TOXIC. It has formaldehyde, which has also been found to cause asthma and allergies. Don't think spraying it on food you're going to ingest is a good idea.

    Sevin garden bug poison. Can get it at Costco in a big bag. It works for up to three months. Just spread all over the ground around your plants and water deeply. When the squash bugs go to the ground, they will get covered in the poison and die quickly. Literally very little maintenance after that.

    I heard you can also add a little vegetable or cooking oil (about a tablespoon) to the soapy water. This holds onto the veggies a lot longer instead of running off. One of my friends recommended this for their vegetables and their vegetables looked beautiful and healthy.

    When sprayed on plant material, homemade soap mixes can break down the waxy protective coat and burn the foliage. From what you have described, it sounds like this is what might have happened. Unfortunately, the damage has been done and there is nothing that can be done to reverse the effects. In the future it is best to purchase brand-name insecticidal soaps from your garden center. These products are great organic options for insect control but best left up to the experts to make. I wish I had
