if someone is that incompetent with the tiger, simply use a small pin punch and tap the spring pin out that hold the triger handle on, and it hall right off, 2 second job
You are a hoot!!!!! What do you mean it's not the end of the world!!!!! I laughed the whole video........ Thanks for bringing some happiness to our lives right now. We think you two are so cute.... I especially loved the fact the dogs were looking your way as if to say "let us in there"!!!!! Hugs from Minnesota.
I have found that if you leave soil on top of the fabric I’ve fond that weeds will root in it. So I have taken to sweeping it up. Much to the amusement of my neighbours on the allotments! ( I’m in the uk and in case you don’t know an allotment is a small area you rent by the year). Love your channel. Thanks
Evan, garden's looking great. Torch: stop stabbing it. You're burning through not stabbing through. Set it down a little easier, let it do the work. Set it on its heel then stand it straight up, rock it in a gentle circle like you're spinning a quarter in the counter then lift it back up. Perfect hole. Easy as pie.
Oops happen! You’ll find a fix and patch no problems. You’re doing a great job with your property and your garden and Orchard look great. Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca. Keep up the good work and videos please. Fred.
Love your videos, you show how we ALL make mistakes at times. When you hit the trigger and your response I almost spit out my tea lol. Keep up the good work buddy
Hi, Evan! I love the drone footage. It give me more perspective on the location of the orchard and the garden in relation to yours and Rebekah’s beautiful home.
A lot of smart people watch you, they petty much all agree with me. Just funning all you all. Realy like the idea of a burner with only the knob. I will look for one like that, so far I've never seen one. The soil auger looks like it has real possibilities if it doesn't compact the area around the plant. I am now a subscriber.
Don’t worry about it, you fixed it , your garden is going to look like the Southern Living Magazine Winner. I can’t wait until it all starts growing. I’m a flower lover,so you need some in your garden so everything will come together. The dogs are walking the fence line looking for a way in. Lol You are truly blessed,God is so good.
Tape a piece of wood of the right thickness to prevent the trigger from depressing, then wrap with some electrician tape. Should solve the problem. Great looking garden set-up.
Yup right there. I would have flamed it out and set stuff in fire. Definitely would put something under so it just can’t be depressed. Just FYI those torches are great! For weeds. Being in as and not lots to set on fire - works great for the weeds we get in our rock.
If you add a 30 inch rebar extension t your auger, you won't have to lean over to punch your holes. That's what I did to mine and it's working really good . You can drill twice as many holes in the same amount of time. If you'll take a leaf blower and blow all the extra dirt off the fabric, you won't have weeds start on the small clumps of dirt. Your garden is looking great !
That auger looks really handy! I’m so sorry you bumped that trigger, lol, but I couldn’t help myself, I laughed out loud at your reaction. Just the giggle I needed to start my day. :) It looks like you patched it nice, anyway.
No trials. No errors for failure then no success! I haven’t seen that type of weed barrier until a previous video. Thanks for showing it as it really looks to be pretty sturdy. Awesome garden!
always used a rule of thumb on spacing plants that when they matured the plants would form a topwall connecting each down the row--this allows a top that shades out competitors-ample blooms--thorough pollination--sometimes fewer plants actually produce more and are of higher quality
Something that I found out about growing great tomatoes. place a raw egg in the hole before putting the tomato plant in. The tomato's flourish with calcium. And you have plenty of duck and goose eggs around the farm.
I done that same thing... cut off a piece of pipe insulation to act as a collar and jamb it up under that danged ol trigger so it can't depress... goes on and comes off easy with no modding.
Maybe you could find a piece of scrap wood lying around and cut it down to fit under the torch's trigger? You could use a zip tie or something to hold it on, and it would stop the trigger from completely activating.
I am using weed guard this year for the first time and burning the holes has been a problem. Planting in the holes was difficult. I found when I was digging the hole out to plant the fabric tore. I like the idea of using the fabric but learning to plant in it has been a challenge.
Garden looks great. Hubs has the knob only version and after 8yrs of owning it, still has trouble with too much flame. You will figure it out though. You two are great teachers, because you are willing to learn. ps, you have a place to buy Country View Acre hoodies?Poor pups feeling left out in the background. Lol
In case someone else has not commented, make a template of light plywood or even old paneling with holes just slightly larger than burner. This allows torch to be lit and kept hot to burn holes quickly, maybe 3 seconds per hole. Holes are perfect with few chances for burning accidental holes. Be careful to keep torch over template at all times as hot plastic that accidentally drips off torch end burns minute holes in plastic. Believe me weeds will find every single hole no matter how small. Yes, ditch that trigger valve. There is an optimal setting based on plastic thickness, air temperature and wind. As mentioned there is learning curve. Also, as the torch is always lit when cutting make sure the ground under the template hole is level to prevent flame or gas from spreading under
JudithB Well, everyone has errors, and its just as important to me to know how to fix them!!! I have 2 rolls of landscaping fabric which is not what you are using, but got to use what I have. I am debating between 2 20' beds or 4 4x8' beds today. Fencing is cut for 20' for beans, cucs n peas with 3 tposts and it would take a lot more tposts if I use 8' beds. Decisions, decisions!
"borrow" a biscuit cutter from Rebecca's kitchen tools. Attach a long handle to it and use it as a branding iron by heating it with the torch. And thanks for not ending the world!
It wasn't really that big of a deal with the hole. Patching was easy enough. That being said, your patch looks like it could use a few more Staples to secure it better. Absolutely love your channel!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Another option to fix the trigger problem is drill off the rivet and take off the trigger. When you want the trigger back get a screw same size as the rivet and nyloc nut and that way you can take it off and on as you need
plant your sweet corn and beans in hills , corn three seeds per hill 30'' x30" do a square 6hills x 6 hills or biger for best pollenation ,beans hills 6" apart in row
On the patch.. if was mine i would add several staples to the sides.. because without doing that the walking area would become a trip hazard. In my world trip hazards take me out of doing ability for awhiles. Heh you are younger. May your ability to create & maintain wonderful beautiful gardens last decades into the future.
Put a small piece piece of wood or any kind of spacer between the trigger and the pipe,tape it down and you won’t accidentally press the trigger anymore.
If you don't get hurt or it costs a lot of money to fix...forget about it! We make mistakes everyday, hopefully not the same one twice. A near miss you won"t forget, I know.
Evan, that is a easy fix. Cut a piece of wood and put it under the trigger and then use electrical tape to wrap around the handle to hold it in place.
You beat me to it. I was going to say a zip tie though 😊
I had the same thought.
Jam the trigger.☮

Arnold Romppai I suppose if he was messing with a TIGER he might be a bit more careful.
Same idea here.

I especially loved the fact the dogs were looking your way as if to say "let us in there"!!!!! Hugs from Minnesota.
Cut the patch to cover then slip it under the cover. Use fabric staples to hold it in place.
Exactly what i was gonna say.
What a great trick for making holes in that fabric! Good stuff
Impressed with your self control Evan ............ oohhhhh.
Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Hi, Evan! I love the drone footage. It give me more perspective on the location of the orchard and the garden in relation to yours and Rebekah’s beautiful home.
Beautiful drone view on your house along with garden and orchard. Love it 😍
Planting time. Hard but lovely hard work.

This was exactly what I was gonna suggest, and you beat me to it 😂
Use a cork!
Was going to say the same! Duct tape a chunk of wood in there! The holes are perfect when you don't pull that trigger! ha ha ha?!
Just goes to show: Great minds think alike.....
Yup right there. I would have flamed it out and set stuff in fire. Definitely would put something under so it just can’t be depressed. Just FYI those torches are great! For weeds. Being in as and not lots to set on fire - works great for the weeds we get in our rock.
Living Traditions is one of my favorite vlogs.
Put the patch under the fabric
My thoughts exactly.
Wow, you live in a primo spot! I want to live there!!
Awesome work done on the garden and stay safe
👍👍 happy Mother’s Day, Rebekah 🌸
Good morning. Nice to see you guys keeping busy, no rest for the wicked. Garden and orchard looks great from the drone.
Love the garden man

Put a Piece of woodunder the handle and tape it so if you do hit it it won’t do anything hope that helps😉
Bass 167 I was going to say the exact same thing
I was just going to say that I would have put a little stick underneath there or pop the pin out of the trigger
I was going to say the same but I was thinking a piece of that foam that you kneel on under the trigger.
@@wendyellis8572 I think foam is better than wood.
Why not just zip tie handle down on full open position and control flame with knob like other model.
Plants looks great
Nice job on everything
That auger looks really handy! I’m so sorry you bumped that trigger, lol, but I couldn’t help myself, I laughed out loud at your reaction. Just the giggle I needed to start my day. :) It looks like you patched it nice, anyway.
Flaming heck Evan !!!! hahah, everything will be ok !!! happens to the best of us sometimes buddy, just keeping it real. Good job !!!
I use those same little augers to plant. I use 1 1/2", 2" and 3" for different size plugs and pots. It makes short work of things!
The garden is going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing.
No trials. No errors for failure then no success! I haven’t seen that type of weed barrier until a previous video. Thanks for showing it as it really looks to be pretty sturdy. Awesome garden!
Good video

Great timing, hoping to get ours planted this week. I'll have to check out the Power Planter.
Why not tape the lever open full and then control the flame with the knob?
We live...we learn !
Just ordered the same auger!!! Thanks for sharing that!!
Evan, put a wedge or block under the lever to keep it from moving if you accidentally hit it.
Something that I found out about growing great tomatoes. place a raw egg in the hole before putting the tomato plant in. The tomato's flourish with calcium. And you have plenty of duck and goose eggs around the farm.
Thank you.
Looking good!

Maybe you could find a piece of scrap wood lying around and cut it down to fit under the torch's trigger? You could use a zip tie or something to hold it on, and it would stop the trigger from completely activating.
We use a piece of emt with a slanted end to punch a hole thru the fabric then drop the seed down the tube into the hole into the soil. Works well.
hi next time get a drilling saw cutting tool file rasor sharp it should help .....great job
just slip the patch under the ground hole. It will not be as noticed. Laying on top will have the ends coming up.
I am using weed guard this year for the first time and burning the holes has been a problem. Planting in the holes was difficult. I found when I was digging the hole out to plant the fabric tore. I like the idea of using the fabric but learning to plant in it has been a challenge.
Yea, you burnt the fabric but on the bright side, it did look pretty cool on camera.
Garden looks great. Hubs has the knob only version and after 8yrs of owning it, still has trouble with too much flame. You will figure it out though. You two are great teachers, because you are willing to learn. ps, you have a place to buy Country View Acre hoodies?Poor pups feeling left out in the background. Lol

Use the tank knob
to adjust the flame.
JudithB Well, everyone has errors, and its just as important to me to know how to fix them!!! I have 2 rolls of landscaping fabric which is not what you are using, but got to use what I have.

good idea would be to firstly test on some scrap pieces of fabric but other wise works damn well :D
Cut a small block of wood to put behind the trigger
Make a little stop block for under the trigger & Zip tie it on
Great system.....almost error proof 😏🔥 Serious, it all worked out really nice 👍🤠
Hi Evan
Can you buy the control valve and put the one without the trigger on your burner?
I agree with Godzilla about the wood
"borrow" a biscuit cutter from Rebecca's kitchen tools. Attach a long handle to it and use it as a branding iron by heating it with the torch. And thanks for not ending the world!
Can you rig up something to block the trigger?
That dam trigger made me laugh 😆
I think you should use hole saw its way better than the torch
It wasn't really that big of a deal with the hole. Patching was easy enough. That being said, your patch looks like it could use a few more Staples to secure it better. Absolutely love your channel!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
so bring a bucket with you when drilling the holes to spin off the dirt in to keep it from on top of the fabric?
I am kind of confused with your phobia of weeds.
Can you put something between the handle and the trigger so it does not push down?
Another option to fix the trigger problem is drill off the rivet and take off the trigger. When you want the trigger back get a screw same size as the rivet and nyloc nut and that way you can take it off and on as you need
can you turn the handle 180 so you don't bump it
Sorry I just saw how many other people had the same idea,great minds think alike.Lol
Great video Evan!
Who flies the drone in your videos? It is beautiful on your homestead! That was a great patch in the garden ! GOD BLESS!
I would have put that patch underneath the long rows and then add staples around the hole. Either way works though.
plant your sweet corn and beans in hills , corn three seeds per hill 30'' x30" do a square 6hills x 6 hills or biger for best pollenation ,beans hills 6" apart in row
Add a block of wood in-between the handle and the trigger tape it up 💥 no more misfires 🤪
doesnt green beans need a trellis? i suggest you pit them in the planter boxes and use your fencing as a natural trellis
On the patch.. if was mine i would add several staples to the sides.. because without doing that the walking area would become a trip hazard. In my world trip hazards take me out of doing ability for awhiles.
Heh you are younger. May your ability to create & maintain wonderful beautiful gardens last decades into the future.
Put a small piece piece of wood or any kind of spacer between the trigger and the pipe,tape it down and you won’t accidentally press the trigger anymore.
If you tape a small block under the trigger it will prevent you accidentally depressing it.
Drill the pin and replace it with a pin you can remove. Easy fix.
put a shim under the handle so it can not be pushed down
One "oops" ain't bad.
sorry, one f@@k up to onther, i can't stop laughing . we all see it coming including you. lol
you make my day, again sorry its ur mis apps.
Have you tried cutting 4 In long cross slits. Peel back the crosses and plant. Lay the 4 flaps back over against the plant.
Put a piece of wood under the handle and wrap a piece of tape over it to keep it in place so you don't accidentally bump it
🤝🙏
why not place a wedge between the lever and the stem and cable tie it in place, then you cant activate the lever
You should have put the patch underneath instead of on top.
I wouldn't have folded a piece under it and put a new hole in it.
If you don't get hurt or it costs a lot of money to fix...forget about it! We make mistakes everyday, hopefully not the same one twice. A near miss you won"t forget, I know.
Why not check Living Traditions and see what Kevin uses. Might not hurt.
Put a piece of wood under the trigger !!! Pull the pin out and just use the valve !! I hope not one said that before ??? LoL OMFG !!!!
Dang trigger!
We sale the woven fabric/landscape fabric/garden fabric with holes, you do not need to Burn holes
Mistakes are made, look at it another way, You have your life.
can you take if off !!!!!. look good!!!!
Dang it that's the Kind of luck i have lol
you can use the burner to burn your rubbish then buy the other one
Maybe a block of wood or something so the trigger can't be pulled ? ☮
put a wedge under the trigger = impossible to move the trigger
oops, the idea was already written , i see. lol
