This entrees could do with an area of soil around the drip line tilled up and some Fertilizers applied, they all look like they are slowly dying . Those walnut trees are an absolute treasure
Good morning Sam. The farm is looking better everyday. You're finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel as far as your workload. Keep plugging away buddy. Thanks for another video.
Morning from Nova Scotia sir! Fall is my absolute favourite time of the year for getting all the outside work clued up so I can spend way too much time in my woodshop in the winter! Grab a seed catalogue for good reading in the off season! The little things add up!!
@MarkChristopherpens Thank you! I have a BIG winter project lined up. Should make for some good videos. I'm actually hoping for more snow this winter too 🤠👍
Good morning Sam. It's nice to have a few days to get the small things done. I am going to run a water line down to my sawmill, adding a soap dispenser is a good idea. Thanks for sharing!
Corn thrives with any high nitrogen enrichment. An idea that the Native Americans had was to plant Corn, a climbing bean plant and a squash together. The Bean plants absorb nitrogen from the soil and the corn uses that, the corn stalk allows the bean plant a place to climb, and the squash plant shades out any weeds from around the base. I'm planting a field of pumpkins and decorative gourds next year to give the local school kids a place to come get some free pumpkins and gourds for the holidays. Maybe even a few pie pumpkin vines. We may also plant some sunflowers to give the birds and squirrels some seeds in the fall. We had a great harvest of cucumbers, beans and tomatoes this year for our first year using a raised enclosed garden. (Keeps the critters out, and we have a LOT of those here on the property.) If you'll prune back the apple trees, they'll produce more and better apples. Apples only grow on new growth for that season so pruning produces lots of new branches for them to grow from. We had the same issue with some ol apple trees on our property. Thankfully, the wife used to manage a historical Orchard on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Orchard at Altapass, and we learned all about managing apple trees. If you get the chance, we took a walk around the 30 acres and made a video of that experience I uploaded to our channel. We'll take another one once the leaves are really carpeting the forest floor in all their glorious colors.
Thank you SO much for all of that advice ❤️ 🙏 I know my Dad used to put grass clippings on his garden and that's high in nitrogen. I'll also look at that apple tree a little closer and prune the dead branches. Thanks again! 🤠👍
Sam, I grew up around cotton farms and they always planted alfalfa after the cotton harvest to put the nitrogen back into the soil. Look into what the guys doing no-till farming are planting for a cover crop. Each plant is doing something to help the soil. Beans fix the nitrogen in the soil. I think they were using turnips to break up the compaction. And some other things. Soil is a living organism and your job as a gardener is to make sure you have healthy soil then the plants will be good and healthy. The UA-cam channel stoney ridge farmer did a video on no till farming 5 years ago.
@@ericwolf5874 Thank you! That's great advice. My dad always tilled grass clippings into his garden. Lots of nitrogen in that. I'll try something different for sure 🤠👍
Hello fellow Ohioan, your barns look great but I keep feeling that you are missing some white trim on the left corner of the barn with the double openings. Otherwise it looks great all of the work you have done
@@aaronbruckelmeyer Good morning! Isn't it great to finally get some rain?!? I have been thinking the same thing. I have more boards. All I have to do is paint them white and attach them. 🤠👍
Yes, it's been good to have a nice long soak yesterday and more this morning. Glad to hear that you have more trim boards. Started watching/subbed when you got your brother's excavator working again. Been stuck in since.
Great ideas! Over time you will wonder how you made it without them. What was the brand of the wire strippers did you use and do you like the style. I just finished rebuilding my trailer and I had a pair of strippers in the bag that I put back, I just wasn't sure. My trailer has a lot of lights and both axles have brakes and I was cussing the old style strippers I have. Never liked them!
I tried putting chicken manure on my corn, but I think now I'll just stay with butter> ;-0
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was AWESOME 🤠👍
Hand towel and soap on the water spiket, now you’re just showing off! That’s pretty clever my man!
@@andrewsamanthamadison3320 Haha! Thank you 🤠👍
Thanks for taking us along! Everything is looking great!
Thank you! 🤠👍

@@roberthocking9138 Thank you for the advice 🙏 I do love those walnuts 🤠👍
I like the towel idea that's pretty cool!! Everything is coming together and looks great!
Thank you! I originally didn't think I'd need it, but I'm very happy I ran water down there 🤠👍
It sure is nice when everything is finally coming together and you start enjoying the fruits of your labor!
Thank you! Absolutely 💯!!! Now I'm realizing I need a list 🤠👍

Thank you! Yes, it is getting to a point where I can get to the "little things", which seem like the best part 🤠👍
Looks like squash bugs.
@jeffball8377 Thank you! I think you're right. Harmless and they hadn't done any damage yet 🤠👍

Thank you Paul! The dispenser i bought can be lifted off the mounting plate so I can take it inside during the winter 🤠👍
a little advice, when toyur don with the gardenhose, tur of the input and open output, cold water expands ig the sun and might plow something :-)
@@blondviking888 Thank you! I appreciate the advice 🤠👍
hope you understod that bad typing :P
@blondviking888 It took me a minute, but I figured it out 😁 I always put the garden hoses inside during the winter too 👍

Sam West Virginia as Ben dry all summer it just started raining now for aWeek and a half
Hey there neighbor! We've had rain for several days now and the grass has finally greened back up! Hope it's a beautiful Fall 🤠👍
What are you going to do in the winter with your soap dispenser?
@@timothynordskog2087 Great question. It just pops off that back plate, so I'll bring it inside. 🤠👍
A long with all the hoses. I loose too many hoses waiting too long to bring them in before winter hits.
@@johnathaneaston7976 I swear someday I'm going to put together seasonal checklists. That would certainly be on the list 🤠👍
