Join us as we build our property into a large, self-sufficient homestead. We design and build many structures on the property ourselves as we believe D.I.Y. is a huge part of homesteading. We hope to show you some tips and tricks we have learned over the years and continue to learn many more.

Tips and Tricks
In this video I quickly cover how we summer prune our blackberry canes. This is important on the first year canes (primocanes) because it promotes more vigorous lateral growth. This will in return give us a higher fruit yield the following summer on the second year canes (floricanes).

Cattle Panel Trellis Build | How-to/DIY
มุมมอง 115K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
We built a 96 foot long cattle panel trellis to grow all of our winter squash on. We eat a lot of small pumpkins (sugar pie and flatso varieties) spaghetti squash and butternut squash. We usually plant them flat on the ground and this ends up being a jungle of vines. So this year we decided we would trellis all of them. The plants will be rooted under the trellis and the vines will be trained o...

I enjoy your channel very much! You are very innovative and your video are filled with very helpful information. I love your "right to the point" approach with your delivery. Its a pleasure to watch. Not sure where you live but your accent reminds me of my cousins from North Carolina where as a kid we vacationed lots of years. My Grandfather had lots of tobacco acreage and we spent lots of fun times inn the tobacco barns. Thanks for sharing your tips with us. Cheers!
Thank you for the compliment and feedback. I really enjoy watching “to the point” YT videos, so that is how I try to deliver mine. I’m actually Eastern NC born and raised! My Papa (grandad) farmed tobacco also so I grew up working and playing in the fields. Lots of hard work but truly great memories from my childhood come from those tobacco fields and other crops we farmed. I will cherish them forever
Thank you.
My pleasure
trellis look great🎉
Thank you!
Thanks for the reminder. My first year with thornless blackberries and they are growing crazy. I need to do this summer pruning now.
Ours were very “wild” also. They look much more manicured now haha!
can we get a video on how all of your different trellis worked out? your designs for the different ones is great🎉
I think that would be a good video for me to make. The quick run down is that they worked great for me but growing pumpkins on my tunnel trellis was basically a complete failure
@@SalmonCreekLiving thanks for the reply!! i could only guess it was the weight with pumpkins at least that was my issue when i tried but yea an over view of your farm and trellis review would be great-thanks😎👍
Great video, so informative! Would love to see an update video now that its later in the season
Kinda hard to see the structure 💔
Where do you buy the admitters from?
There should be a link in the description but they came from Amazon.
@@SalmonCreekLiving thanks
Where do you buy the admitters from?
What do you rotate with, with this trellis next year?
Well done review 👍
Thank you!
I started my seed yesterday, August 5th. I have one of those trays and they are great. They work best as you have shown, fine sifted compost or potting mix. None of that chunky stuff. It works better when you are removing the seedlings and the fine stuff sticks together better.
Glad to hear you like your trays also! That is a great point you added, the roots definitely can’t hold together well in the clumpy stuff.
This is Brillant!
Thanks! It has worked fantastic for us. I built 5 100’ hoses this year and have purchased a 2nd fertilizer injector. We love this setup
Hi I like your design. I want to know the hole size of the fence trellis
Thanks for the review and the left handed challenge.
Haha no problem!!
I bought the 8” Seesii chainsaw for around $82 dollars and love it. The batteries do have a charge light indicator plus there’s a push button oiler. The batteries are great and last a really long time plus they charge fast. Right now it’s listed for $109 and has a $25 coupon. I was able to cut 100’ of bushes and trees up to 7” diameter fast on one battery. The chain loosened a little but was easy to adjust. Would highly recommend this brand.
Yeah I believe they have several models to choose from. I wouldn’t hesitate to try any of them. I’m glad to hear that you are having a good experience with Seesii also! I think this saw will get used often around my place.
Thanks for the review. For $50, that’s a great deal to get the saw, two batteries, and a nice case. I bought a similar Ryobi saw that was $100 and didn’t include anything.
No problem. It is surprising nice for the price point. I know I will use it often
Hey those tomatoes acid will rust your table
Been using cattle panel trellis for 5 years. Love'em. Mine are not as thought out as yours, well done👍👍. I like puttin our maters,cucumbers and beans on them in summer. They also see sugar peas twice a year . I simply made 3/8 re bar candy canes for ground staking. This way I can move them easy. 100 ft run, dang it somebody's gonna be in the kitchen 😂. Ya'll gonna be proud of that. VERY nice.
I also do this.
Yeah it works great. Just thought I would share because simple things like this are easily overlooked
Those clamps are genius! Appreciate you taking time to share your build!
No problem. Hope the video helped you out. Those clamps are the real deal. I highly recommend them for using with cattle panels!
I need another tutorial with no shirt on, it's distracting from the info... 😂❤😂
LOL!
Holy. Frickin. Arm. Veins!
Yur so smart!
Cool
Keep this tip.
you are making great videos. They are full of a lot of information. Your channel will grow huge. I look forward to the gardening videos you are making. I am getting better and better with irrigation. For your channel, link to Vid IQ and it will help you do your keyword searches.
I like the low Hisea boots you wear, especially the way they hug the ankles. Only concern is possible lack of arch support--I wear clogs made of stiff rubber-like material. At the price, I might buy Hisea as a second alternative. Glad Hisea sees your potential for marketing . . . no-nonsense, trustworthy!
Thank you for the compliment. They really don't add any arch support. The shoes feel almost like you are barefoot because of how thin and lightweight they are. So you may be disappointed if arch support is important.
Bigfoot!!!
LOL Yes sir, You never know what you might see around my neck of the woods!!!
Great video Justin!
Thank You!
great review, I think you over explained some areas, and missed some points, but overall, well done. I've bought the system before watching the video, but my solar panels are way bigger ( 2x 100W panels ) and the batteries never gets to 100% charged, we do open our gate 9 - 15 time a day, and over weekends its used maybe 30 times. Your placement of the actuator could lead failure ( as I did mine almost like you did, and the whole reason I got to your video. and totally a Topens install guide issue not yours ) but overall. This is good, well done.
Thanks for the comment. I did mention in the video about possibly an issue with the lack of solar panels. We only open and close our gate twice per day but I still feel I will need to upgrade the panels, especially when we get into some cloudy, winter conditions. I am interested in hearing more about why you believe the actuator will fail? Did yours fail?
When I moved back to the "home" community, these gates had become "the way of the world" . . . whether because of increased thievery or just protective attitude, I don't know. When I grew up we never locked doors or trucks. Glad to see you've lost the brace--be careful about power-lifting. As usual, complete instruction packed into concise video.
Around here locks, gates and cameras are the norm. It is due to so much thievery in this area. You can only do so much to be proactive. Those good ole days you speak of seem to be behind us. Thank you for all the compliments and I am trying hard to take it easy on the knee!!
I am looking to put a gate on my property. I live on a dead end road about a mile down. No one comes down this road but still would like a gate. Unless you lived on the road you would not know there is house at the end.😀
I am way off the road myself. Unfortunately for me curious people want to come by from time to time. So a gate ended up being necessary. We manually opened and closed it for years. I must say that this gate opener makes everyday life a little easier!!
Gate opener and build looks good! It questionable that the customer wants it there (you can just drive around it in the field), I suppose like most security it just keeps honest people honest. edit: I'm going to send you some dumbbells son! looks like your done worn the other ones out!
@@Matt-uj9wl I always say that gate and locks are just for the honest people and noisy neighbors. If someone wants to get it bad enough, no gate, lock or door will stop them! Thanks for the complement on the build!
@SalmonCreekLiving no worries brother. I wish you success on your homestead and your channel.
I appreciate it!
I appreciate it!
Outstanding video and value
@@hiramhaji7813 thanks!
great tip to make sure the grain is up
@@corinne7126 thanks!
#masterclass. These are fabulous - top knotch!
You may want to reconsider using treated lumber in your garden. They are treated with toxins that will leach into your soil and then into your food
Ah, a man that does it right. Sub'd. :) Only thing I would do different is paint the t-posts black so they don't stand out.
Thanks! Glad to have you on the channel. Painting them would have been a good idea. I plan to build a twin to this one in the winter. I may try that this time!!
I didn't notice you mention a backflow valve or pressure regulator? I do like those quick manual timers.
No I don’t run either on this system. My deep well operates close to 50psi consistently, which works good for me. We do not fertilize through this system so I did not see the need for a back flow valve. Our standard anti siphon spigots are good enough for me. Everyone’s situation will be different and all of that could be easily added. I really enjoy those manual timers also! We have a bunch of them
Short and to the point, the way I like it. Garden is looking good. What is the white substance on the tomatoes--kaolin clay or Sevin?
Thank You! I have always enjoyed watching short videos so that is what I try to make. That is "diatomaceous earth" on the tomatoes. We had a bad outbreak of Colorado Potato Beetles and they started eating our tomato plants. It took a little time but the diatomaceous earth knocked them out!!
@@SalmonCreekLiving Thanks. I keep diatomaceous earth on hand but don't always think of using it in the garden. When possible, I try to avoid toxins.
How do you bypass the injector if you want to use just water
I do not currently have a bypass setup on this system. When I want just water, I unhook the drip hose from the injector and hook it directly to my timer. Only takes 30 seconds or so
Thanks for the informative video. Did you ever consider having drip emitters on the 1/2” pipe instead of separate spurs of 1/4”? Fewer lines but probably less flexible.
My pleasure! For my beds I had to have the 1/4 pipe to spread the emitters out more. Emitters only on the main 1/2 pipe would not be able to cover my entire bed since they are 4 feet wide
Hello Sir, My name is Marius from Romania/Europe and please tell me what size have you for one Panel Trellis (one arcade) length x width ??? I want to calculate for my size for one Panel Trellis because I need a height for arcade of 2300 mm!!! Thank you very much for your help !!!
One panel is 50 inches x 16 feet or 1270mm x 4876mm. My entire trellis is 7 feet wide x 96 feet long. Hope this helps!
@@SalmonCreekLiving thank you very much,its ok!!! Have a nice day!!!
do me a big favor, only kidding, till some hydrated lime into one of your unused compacted garden beds, and see how it is in a month, two, and six. a cheap way to unlock the clay and all those nutrients you've been adding. calcium is the trucker and main thing responsible for the structure of the soil. i gave up raised beds a while ago, when the timber rotted and i got done being boxed in by them, for irrigation or for using tools on soil. now i can raise individual rows of soil for wet/cool season or all same level for summer, as I please, and you can use bigger equipment for your large land. cheers.
I like that design was thinking about something like this the other day
These are amazing tools. I own the trimmer, cultivator, mower, and snowblower. No regular maintenance associated with gas equivalents. Starts immediately. Powerful. Long battery life.
I use the trimmer much more now that we have the EGO. ALWAYS had issues with my gas one starting because I didn't use it enough. No going back for me...
That tiller looks awesome! My folks have an EGO lawnmower and that thing is surprisingly powerful too! Thanks for the demo.
Yes, it really is awesome. EGO has some high quality tools. Thanks for watching!
great demonstration of what that equipment can do. No shame at all in your yard. We've had a very wet spring and it seems like the grass and weeds grow behind me while I'm doing yard work. As always, great video....appreciate and enjoy your content.
Thank you very much! Yeah I always feel like I am behind on my yard work. We all do the best we can!!
Excellent! With more years and less muscle than you, I think lithium battery equipment is the way to go. I have a chainsaw, trimmer and lawnmower. I am very impressed with that tiller . . . you might have caused my wallet to get a bit lighter. Keep on filming!
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! The tiller really is impressive
