We're Jeff, Steph, and Savanna and welcome to The Growing Farmyard! Here we will show you around our little homestead as we "grow". We garden and raise a few animals for food to work towards a more sustainable lifestyle and be less reliant on the grocery stores.

@thegrowingfarmyard6937 we have been busy the past couple months getting ready for a new baby. Videos have been lacking and now it is winter and our new addition is here :) We are taking some time to bond as a family and will get back to recording videos once things settle down and we get more footage near spring besides cleaning out our coop every 2 weeks. Lol!

Dude why you breathing so hard. Mannnnn, it’s disturbing the video. I want to breathe for you. Aheezzzzz

Breathing loud
I was out of breath from digging. And trying to talk. Lol
Nice video. My fencing contractor wants to dig five feet into the ground without using concrete. Is it common to not use concrete for this type of project? Thanks!
We have never used concrete on any of our fence posts in the country in town you might. And if you are by heavy winds, that could push your fence over.
@thegrowingfarmyard6937 thanks for the reply. we have a lot of wind during hurricane season. So the concrete could cause the wind to push the fence over?
It will help hold up the fence better. We don’t have that kind of wind. Most we have is 80 km
@@thegrowingfarmyard6937 ah, ok. Thanks again.
@ericmiller7751 any time
Run a second string from top of end post to other end post and use it to set height of inner post.
Thank you so much for this video! Did you need to pre- drill holes in the trampoline rail with a drill bit?
Yes for attaching the wood I did. And any where to peace’s of metal joined.
Nice idea, I have an old frame I've been wanting to turn into a coop and I like the way u did this.
Thank you for this awesome content!!! Subscribed!😊
Any time
Great video. Thank you! Any suggestions on how to winterize this for minus 30 weather?
We just undo the hoses and let the water drain out and call it a day. If you are concerned, you can always use RV antifreeze through all the lines. Hope this helps.
I dug a 3ft 9 inch deep hole with a diameter of 14 inches. Due to rain, the 3ft 9 inch hole got about 9 inches of water in the hole. Crazy thing is the hole was completely covered prior to the rain but somehow 9 inches of water still got into the hole. I have been waiting for the dirt to soak up all the water in the hole however it doesn't seem to be doing that. After two weeks the water is still there. So my question is what would be the best way to drain the water out of the hole? I thought about just putting a few thick bed sheets in the hole to soak up all the water like a sponge but wasn't sure if that would work efficiently. I then thought about just pouring dry concrete in the hole and mixing it with the water that is already in the hole. What do you suggest? One more question. If I drained all the water out of the hole and the dirt/soil in the hole is still wet and soft is it still okay to mix concrete and pour it into the hole with the dirt/soil already being fully saturated with water? Oh wait....one more question LOL. How many bags of concrete would I need for a 3ft 9 inch deep hole with a diameter of 14 inches? I will be installing a fencing pole with a diameter of about 2 inches. Thanks for your help. Reply
By the sound of it you have what is called a hi water table. Plese note I’m not an expert on concrete. But in your situation I would do the following Put the pole in to hole add some concrete to use what water is in the bottom of the hole up and then add your wet mix concrete on top. ( yes the concrete may stay wet on the bottom but should do the job) for how manny bages you may need is up to you. You may be able to do math on it and figure it out. When I did it in my garden I think I use abought 2 bages per pole. Keep in mind it is hard to figer it out. You can buy more and all ways return if not used. Hope this helps you out. The growing farmyard.
@thegrowingfarmyard6937 Thank you sir. I will try that.
@@BlackHamRadioUniversity i understand this comment is super old, but you could have used a shop vac
hi, thanks for sharing! what size trampoline is this? what's the diameter. thanks!
14 foot. Can get a way with a 12. But we wanted to stand in it.
Hate prices have gone up so much that it basically keeps home farmers from growing their own meat. Maybe the four pigs will last you for a while.
Those are really nice coops.
Thanks
Thank you for the tour. I really like how you have your laying box set up so the eggs roll into the separate compartment. I need to look into figuring one out for my chickens.
Good to see you my friend. Glad to see you all are well. Look forward to seeing your progress through the year.
First :)
So because the ingredients in your gluten-free flour are mostly rice flour and tapioca flour (and I think I heard pea flour?) - the best binder would be very HOT water. Philips actually has an official video about using this type of flour combo specifically and the liquid they said to use was HOT/BOILING water. Here's the link to that video - ua-cam.com/video/I1YeJhBGOQc/v-deo.html - I hope this helps you and everyone else reading this!
Oh my goodness. This is exactly what I've looking for to build my chicken coop and greenhouse. Thank you so much for sharing.
You do need to add the (extra xanthan gum). I’ve got the Viva (and cœliac disease) and if it says add 1 tsp xanthan gum, then add it, regardless of the flour. Also, if you can tolerate egg, then use the egg and water mix, as the egg yolk adds extra protein and thus helps the structure.
My kids love farm eggs, there is definitely a big difference. It's sad when even the kids notice.
How many chickens will this house?
We have done 50 birds in it with no problem. The bottom is 10x16 feet. My ruff math you can put up to 75 ish in there. ( for turkey we have done 13 in there. )
50 full grown hens??? How many nesting boxes? How many roosting bars and dimensions?
Have you ever tried billboard tarps, they last a long while.
@c50ge no we haven’t but I do have a plan for the shade tarp when they break.
Looks good
How long will the fence last without concrete in the whole?
It should last with out any problems. ( this is how electric poles are done.) it should last my life time as long as the wood post lasts and does not rot a way. I may have to add some dirt on top to make it level again. Thanks for the question
@@thegrowingfarmyard6937 thank you so much for the quick response and interesting video…..it was very informative.
@@kateyoung1087 any time.
I can't find the video where you said it was coming to secure It to the Ground. How did you end up doing that? Or send the video here please
Our apologies for not getting back to you right a way. For us it is just on the ground. We have never had a problem yet of it flying away. Once the shade cloth wears out I will be doing something different. If you find that you would like to secure it to the ground check out this video it would work. I would tie down all for corners with the bin anchor. You can find it any where a grain bins are sold. ua-cam.com/video/09o_TzCom0Y/v-deo.html The video I was talking abought has gone missing. but in that video I took 5 inch spikes (nails) with washers and used it to pin down the chicken wire. Thanks a get for comment.
@thegrowingfarmyard6937 ahh ok thankyou! I'm just worried about coons. I've sniped 17 of those suckers the past week & a half. It's crazy!
You don't need to apologize for that. I'm sorry you lost some subs because of it. They shouldn't have been here anyway. That's pretty childish if you ask me,& I'm sure that goes for most people too! I'm building my tramp,hoop coop following your every move & its going great so thankyou for this. I keep watching over & over haha.
Great job, thank you for sharing.
Great video. Thank you!
The flour let you down you have to find a good one it isn't easy.
Congratulations! Thankful everything is well. Happy New Year.
Great creativity. Would like to see more
So proud for y’all! Congratulations and hope all are doing well. Looks like a proud big sister there. 😊
Thanks
Another season wrapping up. I imagine that you are about to have plenty to do with the little one getting close. Or has that already happened? I forget we are already nearing the middle of December. lol
Yes it has. It was a good season. As in regards to baby, you’ll have to wait. :)
Love that wheelbarrow Savanna. I remember her chasing those pigs around. Now they are huge. 🤣
I don’t think you were wrong to set a goal for your channel. When you’re beginning to be a UA-camr, setting a goal and offering a lead magnet to help you reach the goal, is a valid marketing strategy. You can’t give away everything.
Well that's really bull that you would lose people. Literally everyone on UA-cam says I will only do this or post this if we reach this amount of subscribers. I'm sorry if you got the douchebags.@@thegrowingfarmyard6937
Hey y'all! Watched it earlier on my phone and forgot to add a comment. Chicks seemed to have adjusted well. It's something how a grasshopper can do that to you fence. lol
U need starch in it
Seemed like a fairly good amount to me. What were the white ones called?
Casperita. Is the name of it. www.stokeseeds.com/ca/casperita-hybrid-pumpkin They do have a USA web site.
Great way to get them adjusted, it seems.
I bought the same flour today for a Philips Pasta Maker that I received this week. Luckily I found your video… I will wait until I find a recipe that works ;-)
So far we have had no luck on finding a flower that would work. Thanks agen for watching
it works if you use 2 eggs and better flower, try bob red mills or king arthur's GF flower. in the video so only use 1 egg not 2 and it will work. i found that each gf flower takes water a little different. i have used 40g to 60g of water works for most of the flower i have tryed.
Hi there! I saw you'd visited my channel so I came by to check you out. Looking forward to getting to know you. I'm subscriber 185.
Nice harvest, y'all. Hope Steph is feeling better by now.
That is a very nice big harvest!
this is awesome
40 pounds of beans! Sounds pretty good to me. Had to ask my phone what 30 degrees Celsius was in Farenheit. lol
Hello. I need to come up with a watering system myself. Your garden looks great.
Hello. Here from C & C Farm. Sorry your corn fell down. The weather is not good lately. I had hail, drought and high temperatures this summer.
It happens.got some good corn out of it so no complaints.
Beautiful carrot harvest!!!
Hi there! Nice video!
Thanks
Those carrots and beets looked fantastic, y'all. I have a hard time growing beets for some reason, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of carrots. Hopefully. Lol
