In 2010, the town of Limburg gave 2,000 households three chickens each and reported that the chickens cut organic waste in half and provided a supply of fresh eggs.
God bless the Ashton Sullivan family. Lost their 10-year-old son on Saturday am. From being washed away in the floods down a storm drain. Their 12-year-old son is battling cancer. Omg, they need our prayers 🙏🏻
Lord bless this family in their time of loss, and time of suffering. Asking that you put your arms around them and pull them close to you and bring comfort to their heavy hearts. Touch their son that is dealing with this horrible sickness and asking you bring healing to his body in Jesus name.
Absolutely love the slow down pace of the last two video's. Thank you
In the 60s my daddy said as he showed me how to do beekeeping that the first bottom one belongs to the bees the second one feeds the bees the third top layer is for us.❤
Like the old format and storytelling.. thanks. Probably because I am old.
FYI, plants cannot access the calcium in slightly crushed up eggshells, although they may benefit from other nutrients in the egg. If you want to actually use eggshells in the garden, they need to be dried and then crushed into a powder which can then be processed by microbes in the soil into a form that can be used by the plant. You can compost them to break them down, but that will also go faster if you crush them up well before putting them in.
I’ve been watching your videos for years and learned so much about permaculture from you. We built rabbit tractors and have those moved around. The rabbits eat down the grass and invasive weeds, then their manure is left behind. I pull weeds from the garden and feed it to them. It’s miraculous to see what 2 years of this had done to the soil, grass, and animals.
A study from Alabama Cooperative Extension compared coarsely ground eggshells (crushed by hand) to finely ground eggshells (resembling a fine powder), along with a comparison to pure calcium Ca(OH)2 and agriculture lime. The Alabama study revealed the coarsely ground eggshells "were not much better than nothing at all." However, the finely ground eggshells performed just as well as the pure calcium, both also outperformed the agriculture lime. (Mitchell, 2005)
So, if you are going to use eggshells make sure is finely ground. Also, if you put the entire egg and broken you are at risk of rats, raccoons, and other critters digging up your tomatoes to get to the egg yolk. The big chunks of eggshells will not break the calcium until next season, so, put the eggshell in a coffee grinder to grind into a fine powder to get the calcium to the tomato plant.
I find it causes some chickens to start pecking and eating their own eggs too!
Thanks for the info!
And then never use that coffee grinder for coffee ever again!
Wow, I always dry and grind my egg shells when I do a freeze drying batch. I put them in the blender and powder them to save space. I used a pinch of it under all my tomatoes this year. They seem to be doing fantastic so far! I didn’t know if it would help, but I figured I could try!
@@foragingandurbanfarmingatt4745That’s why you have a filter in coffee maker to stop things from getting into your coffee. Also, you can use a blender.
We have a greenhouse like that. It’s twice the length though and it does get hot also. Couple of things we did was add a screen door,a shade cloth (inside) and used a small shop fan that we tilted upwards to help move the air around and it helped a lot. We had baseball size hail and to fix the holes we made patches with the leftover plastic siding with some silicone glue. Blends in great and you can’t really tell there’s damage.
The growth you have done is amazing I remember the old days and how much harder things were for y’all love seeing you win ❤
Check out Epic Gardening about a test of planting tomatoes with eggs vs no eggs, compost vs no compost etc. End result….don’t waste your eggs…😊
So glad to see the scythe out again! I found your channel by searching using a scythe for grass and there was Justin and a little Jonah years ago, learning to use the scythe together.
Coco Loco (sifted) is all i will ever use for starting seeds. Highest and fastest germination and EVERYTHING grew so fast and strong that i could've waited another month to start tomatoes and peppers. All of the pepper and tomato seeds germinated between 2-7 days! I did use heat mat, like ghts, and the bootstrap farmer airprune tray inside the short sided trays with dome. Covered the top of the soil with vermiculite too. The Coco Loco is sooooo good! Worth the investment to keep the plants in this potting mix until being planted out. I didn't have to fertilize at all!
Thanks for taking time to share ❤
We love eggplant and kale. To each their own.
Love this family! Down to earth family and they tell it like it is ! Have a wonderful week!!❤️😊
Another serious video. I love the tone of explanation so much.. thank you!!
You’ve done well to check the bees on such a windy day. Thanks for the garden tour. ❤
On building the wall in the high tunnel for chickens, unless u have very flighty chickens or are doing this against predators, I'm guessing u don't need a solid wall all the way to the peak.. ? Obviously you guys r super experienced AND creative, & have a lot of idea-generating minds there ;), but here's my idea (based on my having a bunch of cheap, flexible window screen material I got once) : Using tape or little clips of some sort, attached in some way, drape screen from peak down to the more solid wall w the door in it. Love your fam. & place and all u do for everyone ! May God bless and keep you all, and be merciful and gracious to you !
It seems to me, that you see homesteading as mine, the latest and newest whatever for your homestead. Most of us can’t do that. You used to say use it up wear it out make do or do without. I don’t see that anymore.
Burying not mine
its 10AM what are you supposed to do? .... workout!!! hahahah i literally spit out my food laughing lol. Wouldn't it be SO NICE to not be in the middle of running with a never ending list that never seems to get done ... to drop it all and workout. Love it lol
I really enjoy watching the Rhodes family, and I encourage watching them, but my one thought, and I’m not trying to be mean or critical, but I’d go other places to find accurate factual gardening advice. The egg in the tomato hole doesn’t add any calcium because the shells have to be completely pulverized to be taken up by the plant. The electrpculture has been proven to have zero effect on plants.
The woo woo stuff is to be taken with a grain of salt.
Again, I’m just trying to keep things real and not being a detractor. I watch every vlog!
If they’d do more serious research they’d double their views . Credibility is important!
Great video.....your gardens are so lush and green. I like the idea of growing what your family likes to eat. No sense of wasting good earth on veg no one likes. I really enjoyed watching this kind of video. 🌿🌺🌿🌿
20:20 was my favorite moment. The stillness and realness.
I had to say, Mr. Rhodes I remember that A-frame
Wonderful time spent as a family & sometimes it’s nice to do planting alone as a meditative time. Thanks for sharing & belated happy Mother’s Day’s to all moms🤗🇨🇦
This is my second year with electro culture. Last year was so interesting, it attracted the predators. Dragonflys, spiders, ladybugs.
When we did grass clippings we got tons of weeds in the garden and grass growing
You need to get the shingles on all your structures inspected after a hailstorm like that. You probably have a lot of damage.
It's always great to see you dear Justin ❤
You should use something on the raised beds and the chicken cop fence to make them last longer and look prettier next to the new house..
there are so many good nontoxic products on the marked now. At least use linseed oil with some pigment .
It will look so much better and keep the wood longer and stop it from drying out and crack.
Happy Mothers Day Rebecca, hope it was relaxing for ya!!
Loved seeing the gardens in this video!
I water my plants the night before a frost it helps keep some warmth overnight
You should look into horizontal hives for your bees, much easier to work with.
The Rhodes should grow mushrooms. You're fun guys.
Hello 👋 fraimly. Happy Monday much love to y'all 👍👊💪🇺🇲💜🙏
I also used the Anna White plan for my green house and we get hail every year so I'm looking for something better for the room. Almost more holes than solid roof.
I bet your gonna save Mothers Day for after you move into the rebuild 🙏🙏❤❤🌷🌷🌺🌺🌻🌻
With every year of gardening we learn from it it’s always an experiment and Austin you caught the boys at there true moment been there but they won’t miss it for a thing
Henry for sure is gonna run that entire farm someday.
He wants to do it all.❤
Watching Gideon take such an interest in the 🐝 bee’s is awesome to see.
Love watching all your family partake and enjoy what they do.
Truly beautiful.
Great job guys on all your hard work.
I love the gardening and Rebecca talking more.
Hi, guys/Rhodes Fam ! On watering soil blocks, just wanna let folks know that you can also bottom water them. Or, any gentler sprinkling can, for more established plants in blocks anyway - the soil is held together by roots pretty well. I use a spray bottle for little ones sometimes, esp. if the top is what's drying out badly in strong sunshine even thru a window and you have small seeds in or on em. Generally I bottom water. I have em on mesh trays, sitting in a solid tray. I got the cheaper ones from Johnny's ( actually had the best price at the time, incl. shipping), I just couldn't afford the more durable solid trays and I'd hoped to have gotten to where I'm doing it like the Rhodes by the time I needed something else. However , I have sensitivities to molds & I'm not sure about wood trays now, how to keep em from molds & also having bulkier, heavier stuff to move, as we are still in a rental but hope to change that asap. I also use boot trays to set pots or mesh trays of blocks on, to bottom water &/or catch water/protect surfaces etc. .
I've only used grass clippings and leaf mulch of years! It's great!
They explain Woo woo Culture/ Magic at 15:50 :)
No eggplant, but dinosaur kale is the only kale I'll eat. Try it R & J 😊❤❤❤
Good Morning.. egg plant.. I'd never tasted it or even heard of it before. A lady made Egg Plant Lasagna..Wow, that tasted real good! Your peas.. looking forward to seeing them as they grow- such pretty plants to watch.. Thank you for sharing : )
Justin that's not how to use a scythe! If you pay my airfare from Ireland I'll teach you!!!
By watching I've learned that the challenges of excessive moisture and end rot which is prevalent in the est is seldom a problem in the west like my state of Idaho. I use t-tape to water so I do not get the leaves wet. The top layer of the garden looks very dry because it is. The water from the t-tape soaks directly below the plants. The rest of the garden does not get any water which reduces the growth of weeds. I love your channel! There is lots to learn!
I like the ones from Bootstrap farmer classroom bundle a little pricey but it comes with all you need. Mike at FIT farm uses them. He’s also a market farmer but not as much as he was before.
Robeca so nice. It’s been nice seeing her share her garden.
Nice😊
I have used grass clippings as mulch in my vege gardens for years, such a wonderful no cost mulch. The only thing is to fluff them up when you place them otherwise they tend to form a water resilient mat - and that you do not want.
Hi Justin, I’ve found if I replace the gaskets in all my hoses and nozzles every spring I get less leaking,
What you do with the copper wire around the sticks is very Pagan. It uses the natural elements of the earth to assist plant growth!
Fox farm soil is my favorite 😍
You go Rebecca!!!! Show us how it’s done! ❤️ how you all work together to make things happen! 🙏❤️🙏
Was worried the potato's would not rebound from the hail they look good from here!
ty..xoxo ❤
I read if you play opera /classical music in your greenhouse your plants will grow and produce twice as big and twice as much produce. Maybe you guys could hook up some music out there to be playing for your plants and see if it works. If I had the room, I would certainly give it a try, happy days
Get a pair of peacocks...they'll make quick work of your ticks and great companions for your animals
Have you tried ordering stringless green beans?
I dip my eggplant in egg & then dip in dried bread crumbs mixed with grated parmasean. Fry. Ummm!
I follow your life on the farm with great interest, thank you for this valuable life experience. Justin, you are a great example for me, especially with your great patience. Seeing what happens on the farm, daily duties, emergency situations. Wow you are a good example for us men. 🙂🤝👍👍God bless your family
I have 25 tomatoe plants...10 ground cherries...peppers...carrots...and a medicinal flowers. Grew Eggplant and zucchini and nobody would eat it! Plant what you eat...
Justin, I’m in my 3rd year gardening (last night was the first time we had FULL dinner using our harvest with leftovers!🎉), but how do you control the weeds. I’m keeping my garden covered as best as possible. Is it something that just takes time?
Lol I like eggplant.
Instead of wood use leafs I did it last year this is my first time planting into it but leafs are a carbon also and they are free to grab here in the north anyways.
Do you have to deal with slugs when you use leaf mulch? I struggle with them when I mulch with leaves or straw.
"Kale". KALE NO! 😂
❤
what is a permaculture use of used kitty litter
How do you keep pests like rats out of your compost or garden?
Cats?
Oh wow! 2 plants, and I feed my family AND my whole neighborhood and extended family! I'm excited to see how you successfully store that much zucchini! Other than grating and freezing. My family can only handle so much of that!
I don’t know if they do this, but we have to be gluten free and low carb, eating similarly to them. We dehydrate zucchini and then grind it into flour and replace up to half of keto and gluten free flours with zucchini flour to save grocery money. It works pretty well in most recipes with minimal changes at times to moisture and finished texture.
16:10 what kind of beans are those
Remember Guinea fowl eat ticks
Jack of all trades, master of none, is still better than a master of one. Full saying.
Happy late Mother's Day Rebecca 🌹 Happy Day Justin! Love your garden space. I see each crop area being to grow 1or 2 items. And you all having 10-12 plots to grow in. And the BEGINNING OF ROTATIONAL PLANTING Begins 😊😊 I know it's coming. It's has too when you QUIT the grocery store! Blessings to everyone, Grandma & popa staff & The Animals and Plants! 2024 is going to be Remarkable ❤
A fish head works too.
Rebecca knows her gardening... I like using copper in my garden too..
Utilizing the electromagnetic grid around the planet...We can make it grow and lush with food.❤
🩷🙏🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕
I thought there used to be 2 rows of raised beds?
A tick!
Blessings! I remember the tomato flood!
they sell stringless string beans
Justin

Electric weed eater
Kitchen garden and coop need to be painted black now.
Crush on...
Rebecca, I'm happy to see you have honey bees.
A little tip: when removing the inner cover look for your queen on the inner cover. She's a sneaky illusive little vixen. Generally you won't find her there but I've found her there. Probably taking a coffee break 😅.
Glad to see Gideons interest.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's squash. Not squashes. BTW
Your using compost on your garden, that's amending your soil😶
Why are you all so far behind on the vlogs
Because they've got a life to live as well.
It's not an on demand life!!!!
😄 it's been a whole 8 days since mother's day.
cause videos need to be edited.......
