its all fun and games until your on an oxygen machine in your 40/50's, i live in an ex coal mining town and the lack of safety and preventative measures cost a lot of these old men there lives, and for what some extra pay in the pocket? im not saying 1 breath of chicken crap dust will do it, but how many times has he done it? i bet its a lot and a lot can equal enough.

Hey, for the composter, my Wife and I have a similar one of those rotating types, and we found we had good results filling ours with a bag of Cow Manure, some Horse Manure and the bedding fodder they sleep in/on in their paddocks, some semi-sifted soil, and a bunch of garden and kitchen scraps. It's November anx we are STILL growing tomatoes!!! They're Cherry style varieties (Burpee brand) known as Italian Ice and Sun Golds if I remember right. These plants are still somehow producing fruit, without a greenhouse! We've also used natural fertilizers throughout this last year (Ecoscraps is an EEEEEEEXCELLENT FERTILIZER!!!), put some epsom salt on at points throughout the year, used rehydrated powdered milk for mold control, and have Marigolds planted around the garden to mostly control insects. Our irrigation system broke at the height of Summer, and the garden STILL produced like crazy... AND STILL IS! We've also been partially utilizing what is called the "Ruth Stout (Staudt maybe?) Method" of gardening as well, which is we covered the whole thing in an 8 inch thick layer of hay at the start of the season about a month before planting. We had to use fresh hay, as that is all we could find, and it was wheat grass hay instead of just grass hay, but it works well that way too. We havenot had to weed but twice, and that was to pull up the wheat grass that was growing from seeds left in the hay. Next year the first layer of hay will have fermented and decomposed into a base layer of "pre-soil", on which more hay will go, and plants will be planted through. After next year we'll have a nice thick layer of "proto-topsoil" in which we'll just keep adding hay. The nutrients from the decomposing hay will fertilize the ground, and the hay will maintain soil temperature and moisture content. We found that even with 17 tomato plants, inside a 36 foot long garden bed box, we only had to water for maybe 15 minutes every day or every other day. Oh yeah, we built a 35 inch wide by 36 foot long knee high garden bed from 4x4 ground contact timbers, and filled it with a loooooot of dirt... 10 cubic Yards of dirt I think? Somethung like 2.5 tons I want to say. I should also mention we live in Alabama, so our temperature this year has so far not been super cold until just recently, so that has a good bit to do with it too. The point though, is the nutrients from the hay and the occasional other nutrients we'll be adding from various recsources should be enough to sustain this garden bed and keep it growing, for longer than the ground contact timbers and steel rebar spikes holding it together will survive the elements. We've been taking the tomato plants as they died and throwing them around the outside of the bed to dry out (as the ground here is solid clay, we're letting it turn to topsoil and it lets us tread in it to give us a temporary walkway out of the mud around the bedbox) as we can't technically fold it into our compost because of nematodes. We'll be planting far fewer tomatoes in the future and our garden will be heading into our cold weather planting here soon. :-) We're clawing a garden out of a non-fertile environment, by planting on top of it. :-P

I love your videos, brother. Even when I am feeling a bit blue and lost, your videos are so inspiring. The knowledge I (we, the Internet people) get from them, though never possibly trying it out ourselves, is so satisfactory. Thank you Cody.
"hey, what did I say about lifting with your legs" 😂 good looking out for your robot minion! It was good to see you were using ear protection. Perhaps add some safety mcglarses to supplement your squints. Stay safe out there Cody :]
This channel has become the IRL version of a modded Minecraft play through. It's one of the best things I've seen on this platform! GJ and keep up the good work.
You don't want to make it easy for pests to set up shop right in the box. Plus they'll benefit more from the ability to have good air flow. Bees use numbers and vibrations to keep warm in the winter. Warm enough to cook other insects alive.
It would be interesting to sculpt furniture (chairs, benches, other?) into the rock wall. At some point while digging the bee hole I saw a shape that looked like a chair. Maybe a cave with integrated chair and table?
Hmm, I wonder if the small ledge that ends above the alcove as well as the vertical and horizontal cracks might funnel rain water down onto the hive... Around the 10m30s mark it looks like a lot of those features converge above the recess.
You're the only person on earth who would put a bee hive in his passenger seat before a long and bumpy ride. I almost crashed my car because of ONE bee once.
had a bee fly into my eye once when i was on a pedal bike and i legit thought i got something chucked at me from a car on the road, honestly that bee must of been the size of a ping pong ball and hit me like a tennis ball.
My granddad used to drive around with hives in the boot of his car no problem. He WAS a beekeeper, however, so they knew him. Didn't do the car much good. Every surface was coated in wax and honey, inside and out.
Your Chicken Hole Base videos are the only videos on TH-cam that I instantly watch instead of starting from the end of the list. I feel like you are doing something I would love to do myself, but lack the resources to do. Your videos make me happy.
"Someone suggested using a pump to carry the water up." "Lift with your legs." "This time I'll show putting in the ear plugs." Safety first! Great that the audience is making sure you're doing these awesome projects safely
Cody! I'm in love with meteorology/atmospheric sciences- can you feed my addiction by taking some timelapses of the clouds out at the base? i bet you could get some pretty amazing views from the top of the hill, looking out over the flat area!
What's hard about that? Doors are locked, Wiley Coyote isn't going to drop a piano on you... what's the difference parking there or your driveway? Or just regular camping for that mater?
6:32 I've just recently rewatched Martian. And I was confused on how Wattney able to create fertile soil in the first place and not after incident. Which is litterally just solid frozed everything but did he stopped producing human waste? So many questions.
Віталій Літвінов It’s been a long while since I’ve read either the book or watched the movie but didn’t the potato plants themselves die?so why would he create soil after the accident?
@@turmunhkganba1705 They die when the airlock blows, and thats the motivation behind mark abandoning the hab and heading towards Schiaparelli crater. However he does mention that some of the soil bacteria survived the vacuum and freezing
@@turmunhkganba1705 you are correct. Keep forgetting that first time potatoes were vacuum sealed. Yet not storing some in somwhere were not that clever.
Awesome work as always. I enjoy watching CHB, and I acknowledge the work that goes into making the series. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Also about the bumblebees: will you mention how that works in an upcoming video?
Finally starting to make some progress into the rock. Driving out water with your truck every time you want to dig a square meter does sound pretty slow but I don't know what a better solution would be. Great video!
Cody heads up on making your own soil: as a geologist you should know that your soil might erode fast if nothing holds it down from wind and water and it takes a while before you get a nice layer of cultured soil!
Well he already had investigators come out looking at his nuclear materials...So. At this point I think they know he's not doing anything crazy. He also owns a mine and has blasting permits.
That reaction from the rock sounds exactly like when you heat limestone and then place it in or poor water onto it to create Lime. Good chance the heat from the saw mixed with the water created this reaction.
“Hey, what’d I say about lifting with your legs” haha, I guess Cody’s been reading the comments

I love your videos, brother. Even when I am feeling a bit blue and lost, your videos are so inspiring. The knowledge I (we, the Internet people) get from them, though never possibly trying it out ourselves, is so satisfactory.
Thank you Cody.
this is fast becoming my favorite series
Cody: I want to be as realistic as I can for Mars
Also Cody: Bees!
Wait, was that a rattlesnake in the chicken hole at the beginning?! :'D
I was about to say that!
That 's what I saw.
Birds are natural predators for snakes.
Yes and from the looks of it a Diamondback Rattlesnake to be precise. I like snakes
No, that's a danger noodle
also noticed the snake :P not a happy place for a chicken
"hey, what did I say about lifting with your legs" 😂 good looking out for your robot minion! It was good to see you were using ear protection. Perhaps add some safety mcglarses to supplement your squints. Stay safe out there Cody :]
Cody i missed your bees so much im happy they are here again.
The way he says "various things" makes him sound very suspicious
Definitely not siphoning off crude oil out of a nearby pipeline
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I was gonna say weed, but yours is an even bigger possibility.
@@Colaglass how does tubes=weed? If you think to smoke it, that's a lot of dead space, in addition to your esophagus
Funny cody is amazing, the editing is great as well
A day with a Cody video is a good one.
0:25
Danger Noodle!
This channel has become the IRL version of a modded Minecraft play through. It's one of the best things I've seen on this platform!
GJ and keep up the good work.
This is my favorite dwarf fortress series.
I'm really loving these creative edits with Robo Cody
I'm worried about RoboCody's life expectancy. He wears a red shirt.
You don't want to make it easy for pests to set up shop right in the box. Plus they'll benefit more from the ability to have good air flow. Bees use numbers and vibrations to keep warm in the winter. Warm enough to cook other insects alive.
"this time i'll show putting in the ear plugs" thank you cody :)
Cute! Love the seat belt around the bee box
How about implementing some multiplayer support? I wish I could be out there helping you
He has robocody
He's playing with bots. Your best chance is buying next to him and playing LAN.
In 2 hundred years the inhabitants of Codytopia will tell stories about the founder of their great city.
Wait, the video is unlisted... Are we supposed to bee here?
I can't beelieve that pun
don't make a buzz about it just let Cody bee
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B all you want
Someone needs to censor that Dad Joke with a *Beep*
Bee cool , man. Bee cool!
Thank you for a morning upload, I enjoy when I can drink my Coffee and start the day with a video of yours. Keep up the hard work!
Not too many people are this humble and self reliant anymore. This is why Cody is awesome.
@Robert Stallard fuck off. Not everyone has to fit into your narrow minded perspective of what a "functioning person" should be
@Robert Stallard >t. youtube comment section shitposter
@Robert Stallard OK Boomer
@Robert Stallard Oh fuck... you really are a boomer
7:07 oooohh i like that subtle sassyness
8:17 - damn, in a week, he could make a cave to live in!
Thats kind of the point
The rock doesn't react with water. It's just getting soaked with it and the air escapes with the fizzing sound.
Never seen someone tear themselves a new bee-hole before...
Bee-n rewatching all of the beekeeping series, so nice to have a new bee video :)
Cody: I like bees
Me: I like cody
It would be interesting to sculpt furniture (chairs, benches, other?) into the rock wall. At some point while digging the bee hole I saw a shape that looked like a chair. Maybe a cave with integrated chair and table?
I'm so excited :) This series is just so good. Keep it going ♥️
Hmm, I wonder if the small ledge that ends above the alcove as well as the vertical and horizontal cracks might funnel rain water down onto the hive... Around the 10m30s mark it looks like a lot of those features converge above the recess.
You're the only person on earth who would put a bee hive in his passenger seat before a long and bumpy ride.
I almost crashed my car because of ONE bee once.
had a bee fly into my eye once when i was on a pedal bike and i legit thought i got something chucked at me from a car on the road, honestly that bee must of been the size of a ping pong ball and hit me like a tennis ball.
My granddad used to drive around with hives in the boot of his car no problem. He WAS a beekeeper, however, so they knew him.
Didn't do the car much good. Every surface was coated in wax and honey, inside and out.
The first permanent residents of Chickenhole Base being bees seems pretty on-brand.
After cody had played enough minecraft he decided that now it's time to do it IRL
I saw him on a Minecraft video
this comment is 4 years late
Your Chicken Hole Base videos are the only videos on TH-cam that I instantly watch instead of starting from the end of the list. I feel like you are doing something I would love to do myself, but lack the resources to do. Your videos make me happy.
If the rock is reacting to water like that I'd hazard a guess that there's some bauxite in there and you're producing some hydrogen.
First person to use an Accord as a camper. I love you and your channel Cody! :D
11:21 That tree terrified me. I thought it was a person/body
I’m so happy you are sharing this journey with everyone. Thanks!
"Someone suggested using a pump to carry the water up."
"Lift with your legs."
"This time I'll show putting in the ear plugs."
Safety first! Great that the audience is making sure you're doing these awesome projects safely
Cody! I'm in love with meteorology/atmospheric sciences- can you feed my addiction by taking some timelapses of the clouds out at the base?
i bet you could get some pretty amazing views from the top of the hill, looking out over the flat area!
He should try a diamond pickaxe next time, it'll be quicker.
Yah it's a diamond (pickax) Saw
No your supposed to use a golden pickaxe with unbreaking 3 and efficiency 4
@@thegingerkingshanks7587 but you don't get obsidian that way
@@GTAmaniac1 he is only mining stone though and it gets slow when it hits a ore that you cant mine with the golden one
Cody is one of the few youtubers I can consistently watch anytime, full length videos and always be excited and interested about what I’m watching.
I approve of naming this the "chicken hole"
Lotta special HARD work 💪 that Cody puts into all this for nearly 12 minutes of our pleasure.. gotta love him peeps🙏💯🙏 EXCELLENT JOB CODY👊
If you go close with your smoker, you might have "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
Oh god the puns help
@@KingJellyfishII thanks a lot. Stored the word carefully in my vocabulary. I learn every day.
pun=double entendre, quibble, lame/corny joke
Well the FBI wouldn't let him buy the uranium to build that reactor. Lol
I can’t stress this enough. This series and to be honest, all your series are amazing Cody. Love them. Have fun, take care
I see you are playing 1.15 already.
Sure has been a fun ride watching your new home grow and see your plans, keep them coming
Wish I had the guts to sleep in my car in the middle of nowhere like Cody
What's hard about that? Doors are locked, Wiley Coyote isn't going to drop a piano on you... what's the difference parking there or your driveway? Or just regular camping for that mater?
Much less gutsy to sleep in the middle of nowhere than sleeping in the middle of an unfamiliar suburb.
@@JohnMichaelson I agree. I go camping all the time but you won't catch me sleeping downtown in a city without being in a building.
@@benbaker321 I third that statement. The two most dangerous things are other people and your own stupidity
Get a sleeping bag. It gets colder than you expect quite fast... Been there, done that.
This is like a bee bole, what people used to keep skeps in. Looks great!
what are skeps? I've never heard of them before
@@mothtolias They're bee hives made from straw or reed that were used before the wooden box hives were invented. Some still use them today
The rocks that makes the ceiling doesn’t look very stable, I am worried about the bees once they’re moved in for years to come.
cody is the perfect type of nerdy and funny
6:32 I've just recently rewatched Martian. And I was confused on how Wattney able to create fertile soil in the first place and not after incident. Which is litterally just solid frozed everything but did he stopped producing human waste? So many questions.
Віталій Літвінов lots of soil microbes can survive freezing it would be sensible to send them on a trip to mars
The book has a better explanation of how he got the soil habitable for plants
Віталій Літвінов It’s been a long while since I’ve read either the book or watched the movie but didn’t the potato plants themselves die?so why would he create soil after the accident?
@@turmunhkganba1705 They die when the airlock blows, and thats the motivation behind mark abandoning the hab and heading towards Schiaparelli crater. However he does mention that some of the soil bacteria survived the vacuum and freezing
@@turmunhkganba1705 you are correct. Keep forgetting that first time potatoes were vacuum sealed. Yet not storing some in somwhere were not that clever.
Awesome work as always. I enjoy watching CHB, and I acknowledge the work that goes into making the series. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Also about the bumblebees: will you mention how that works in an upcoming video?
That has to be by far the dryest grass anyone has ever seen
The Robo-Cody even has his own sun, you can see him casting different shaddow! :)
That Robo Cody joke is slowly getting out of hand!
What do you mean... "joke"?
(Sarcasm)
It's so nice to see someone working hard just because he likes to. And a scientist at that! Go, Cody!!!!
You could get Starlink internet out there once that's up.
Finally starting to make some progress into the rock. Driving out water with your truck every time you want to dig a square meter does sound pretty slow but I don't know what a better solution would be. Great video!
Good respirator and dry cut the rock, it's soft enough won't damage the diamond teeth..
@@tristenshumway6999 But it would destroy the chain, bar, and engine.
Cody heads up on making your own soil:
as a geologist you should know that your soil might erode fast if nothing holds it down from wind and water
and it takes a while before you get a nice layer of cultured soil!
I would use the saw and cut 2' to 3' square holes in the rock.. it would look so cool!👍👍
Cody you could probably add a handle to the side of the compost mixer to make it easier to rotate.
I'm always glad when Cody updates us on his Minecraft Stream. I've never seen that tool in Minecraft before, what Snapshot is he using?
Chip Ormsby 69w420E
Week 420?
Update 1.42, with ray tracing and real physics engine ;)
@@aar3604 That's a pro gamer move.
Axodus yes
I love your base so far, i'm always looking forward to your videos. Thanks for the hard work you do.
Cody buys a lot of fertilizer.
The FBI wants to know your location.
They've had an eye on his location for quite a while
he didn't buy it, he made the fertilizer
Well he already had investigators come out looking at his nuclear materials...So. At this point I think they know he's not doing anything crazy.
He also owns a mine and has blasting permits.
@@qvindicator I suppose he could? But they may only apply to the mine property, or he would simply rather dig it out manually
@@StrokeMahEgo i think he choose to avoid explosives because of youtubes shenanigans
Everytime I see the word, "BEES" I hear Chris Farley screaming it. Its awesome
I'm definitely in for Cody uploading some videos of him cutting up stone in realtime
Cody, what you're doing is absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work!
Me: I haven't seen the lil chicks in a while
Cody: here's a bucket of chicken manure
Bucket: has feathers in it
Me: OH, NO!
Chickens Sometimes shed feathers
Nothing better than watching a man play with his Bee - Hole
That reaction from the rock sounds exactly like when you heat limestone and then place it in or poor water onto it to create Lime. Good chance the heat from the saw mixed with the water created this reaction.
Good point
Thanks Cody, this is kind of videos why I came to this channel time ago.
"AAHH NO NOT THE BEES" nicolas cage 2009
"Oh, yes, the bees!"
Cody, 2019
I legitimately wish you had more videos so I could be enlightened 24/7 non stop for the rest of my life
