@@gizmo32456 lol as you can see I get my monies worth. That mower was gave to me 20 years ago and it had holes in it then. The three point hitch was all bent up and I beat it back straight as I could get it with a hammer. Filled the gear box full of grease and off we went. Used it mainly for chewing up blueberry bush cuttings after we pruned. Sorry if that’s not a legitimate excuse for ya but that’s all I got.

@@mrmojorisen6336 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍

Unfortunately it does seem like everything I do is the hard way lol. If I get a good deal on something I’ll find a way to tear it up and cost me more money 🤦‍♂️I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍

@@3-crows yeah unfortunately I don’t have a torch. That would have definitely made it easier. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@bobbyg4100 hey Bobby thanks for the comment. Yes I have put them back in the hole but don’t really know if it does any good.

@@shanew7361 just make sure you get the bottom of the trap on the bottom of the run. You’ll know when the little rod goes through the run and hits the bottom. I’ve got another vid showing a little auger I found that really makes it easy as well.

@TheBlueberryFarmer I also ordered 4 of the wire tek traps, any advice on those if you've used them?

@ just make sure it’s on an active run and push the dirt down far enough so that the moles have to push up enough to trigger the trap.

@@ccthepope thanks a bunch. I wasn’t sure about getting it running

@@DiamondLil yeah Kathy I guess it was geared more towards folks that have already been using them. Sorry about the confusion. I have another video that has more details on actually using it if you would like for me to send you the link.

@@Patricia-v7z thank you Patricia I appreciate you watching 👍

@@MichaelSeanHarrell thank you Michael for taking the time to watch I really appreciate it 👍

@@loft27ss all of ours split after big rains. We primarily have rabbiteye varieties.

@@FarminNStuff I have got rabbit eye’s blueberries mostly and early blooming as we have got lots of rain in subtropical climate in Summer. The same with mango- early blooming before rain and fruit fly appears in summer:) cheers from Gold Coast, Australia Sorry for the crop loss but the birds would enjoy it. My main problems is kangaroo here eating my plants:)

@@loft27ss lol I can’t imagine having kangaroos in the field. Do the wild hogs get y’all too? They tear us up every year.

@@novicetrader1985 unfortunately I have lots of our old cooking pots around filled with water and that hasn’t helped. Think they just like to chew on things like puppies lol

lol that’s ink pen. You’re the first to notice out of all the videos that I’ve worn them in. 👍

Hi there, love your Videos. Looks like my place over in Germany, east of Berlin. Always blueberrys on my mind. Best regards

@@gudrun529 I appreciate you taking the time to watch. How many plants do you on your place? Also what type of varieties do you have?

​@@FarminNStuff well, about 2,5 acres. We hat a heavy hail storm a year ago....not much left of the bushes

i grow mainly Duke, bluecrop, Reka, Nui, Puru, also some Ozark, Elisabeth and Legacy.

Thanks a bunch for watching Patricia. I really appreciate it 👍

I actually haven’t used any fertilizer in five years or so. The last time I did it was 10-10-10 made with ammonium sulfate and had micro nutrients added.

@@FarminNStuff I think I'm going to try the Ammonium sulfate on mine

We actually started selling some already picked the second year.

@@ccthepope I had a hard time getting that out 😂but yes they are delicious.

@@59markr thank you Mark for taking time to watch I really appreciate it 👍

@@Patricia-v7z thanks Patricia for taking time to watch and comment I really appreciate it 👍

@@530eman unfortunately making room for more house 🤦‍♂️

@@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE did you get all the stump removed or is there some left?

@@BillyCarey-tp6tv hey Billy thanks for taking the time to watch them. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to find the name of mine either. Everything is worn off. I would imagine it was an off brand of some kind due to the way it was built.

It looks like one I'm working on right now and I could barely read a sticker that has Big Bee on it👍

@@troyshrope67 Hey Troy thanks for the comment. I hope you’re able to get yours apart easier than I was 👍

@@ritajensen7277 hey Rita thanks for your comment. Yeah you definitely don’t want your fingers anywhere around the trip wire part unless the spring is released. Dang I bet that did hurt.

Yup - like a mother...!!!!! LOL. Have a good day! :)

the spring is detensioned

@@indiagoodin9315 are you saying you have blueberry maggots in the berries?

@@FarminNStuff they are eating the roots!

@@IndiaGoodin are they termites?

I didn't think so, kind of looks like grubs, or corn maggots, or just little pale white bugs in the roots​@@FarminNStuff

@@indiagoodin9315 I’ve not experienced anything like that. I’ve had part of a plant begin to die and get termites but that’s rare. Hopefully you can get it figured out and get rid of them.

Where is the best place to chat?

@@renovatingourportugueserui589 I’m glad it was useful. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to comment 👍

@@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE let’s just say they aren’t cheap but I guess nothing is these days. Those guys put in a hard days work for sure. Fortunately they were able to do most of the digging with the excavator and not shovels. Sure do appreciate you watching 👍

@@annettemack-barnett795 Hi Annette I don’t currently have a video on starting the plants from cuttings but I do however have one on digging up the suckers on existing plants.

@TheBlueberryFarmer I'm trying that. I hate to keep buying plants when there's so many sucker's and new growth on mine. I tried cuttings but wasn't successful.

@@annettemack-barnett795 👍

@@annettemack-barnett795 thank you so much. It’s been hard to get many people watching but I’m glad there’s a few that enjoy them 😬

@TheBlueberryFarmer I have around 150 blueberries, not near as many as you. Hope to get there someday. I noticed in some of your videos that your irrigation lines were not on the ground. I am planning on putting one in but concerned about keeping the grass mowed in between plants. I messed up and only mulch around the plants instead of in rows. Can you offer in advice?

@@annettemack-barnett795 I started out with my drip lines on the ground but the gophers,moles and mice constantly ate holes in them. After redoing all of my field to get it off the ground the coyotes, raccoons and deer eat on it 🤦‍♂️so expect to be fixing leaks no matter how you choose to do it.

@@FarminNStuff dang varmints. We've battled rabbits and squirrels this summer

@@annettemack-barnett795 it’s a constant battle when growing fruits and vegetables. Lol

Yes. It’s the easiest way I know to get more plants. I have close to a 100% success rate when I put them in pots.

@@FarminNStuff how old do the mother plants have to be before u start seeing suckers? Mine are like 5 years old & I'm not seeing any yet, wish I did...is there anything I can do to promote them to produce suckers?

@@FarminNStuff do u know if I put some blueberry plants in pots this week if they over winter ok in the pot? Our coldest winter Temps get to about zero & doesn't stay like that for more than a few days at a time.

@@illumi-Nate I’ve kept them alive throughout the winters in pots around here. We don’t get as cold as you but if you were able to bring them in a garage or something on the nights it was going to be zero it definitely would help. I covered my potted plants in pine bark the last time we had low temps like that and they did fine.

@@illumi-Nate hmmm that’s odd. Mine start within a couple years. We do have a long growing season though. That may be the difference.

@@ajf-b9x that’s actually one of the great things about this particular trap it doesn’t need bait. As long as it’s in their run it will get them.

@@jerrykelly7052 Hey Jerry thanks a bunch for your comment I really appreciate it 👍😬

@@merce0066 Does yours have holes through the deck that you drive the rod through?

@@FarminNStuff ours does they’re in line with the bolts that hold the blades.

@@FarminNStuff and it’s not easy

@@merce0066 I’m hoping mine will come off easier next time since I greased everything.

@@FarminNStuff I’m hoping not to have to do it again for a while

@@ccthepope lol don’t feel bad I worked on in a couple hours and then I would walk off due to the frustration lol I stretched it out to about five days lol and yeah I’m constantly thanking Jesus for the little things which I think a lot of people forget to do. Seems like they only need him for the big stuff these days

When 2 or 3 are together,.He is there among us ,.. Amen

Yes they actually can live and produce a lot longer. These days they are making new varieties much quicker than before that are supposed to be better however where I live the older varieties seem to do better for us. It's really dependent on the climate and cultivar that grows and produces best for your location.

@@DanielRodriguez-fv5os hey Daniel thanks for the comment. So you don’t want to push down on the trap. Once you insert it into the hole you then hold the top of it with one hand and pull up with the other. If the straps are bent you can twist the spring part to release the tension and straighten them back. I have a video that shows how to do it.

@@FarminNStuff yea I got it now I had to replace cage part

@@bigteafromthe8136 thanks a bunch for taking the time to watch and comment 👍

@@TheGV50 thanks a bunch for taking the time to watch and comment I really appreciate it 👍

@@georgelindsey3925 hey George I’m about to that point now. lol Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍

@@alltheboost5363 you got that right. Just a little effort can save a lot of chickens and berries. Sure do appreciate the comment 👍

@@RandallG-qz6rb yes that’s one of the reasons I trap them. They are very destructive. Thank you for the comment 👍

@@ccthepope unfortunately it has to be done occasionally. There’s an endless supply of those things around here lol thanks for the comment 👍

@@thealfadawg3182 at least they taste better than fire ants lol thank you for taking the time to comment 👍
