Zone 5 Nebraska here. About 2 months ago I had to thin my cactus garden severely, I threw out three five gallon buckets packed with pads. I have never propagated my pads by sticking one end in the soil or letting them callus over, just lay them flat on slightly damp soil every place that would be a sticker will become a root, I have never had a pad not take on roots. 😊
very cool!! thanks for the knowledge, I'm usually very experimental and rough on the plants but only starting with the two pads I didn't wanna loose progress lol. we were happy to add these to our food foresting, thanks for checking this one out!
Thanks for checking this out! Great question, we haven’t used any type of grants yet. We’re looking to llc a business name to operate under to obtain a grant possibly, a large farmer did use money from the government to build a huge greenhouse locally to me but he told me the grant funding paid for about 1/4 of the bill. Any money is good I suppose I just don’t know how much they keep track of you after that lol
@@Earthdwellershomestead They seem to be very friendly for new/beginning farmers. They have some programs specifically for funding hoophouses and improving already existing equipment. Typically the primary requirement is some minimum of day-to-day farm experience and/or producing for market, both of which you have been doing for some time now.
we unfortunately did not capture more than a blip of methane in the lines as our backpressure wasn't sufficient. completely trial and error, but were staring work on a methane capture system that's proven to work. hopefully we will have more methane experiments in the near future,and thank you for checking out our channel and participating lol

You can gradually see my shirt soaking 😅
Awesome thanks for sharing. I think I will definitely be starting some.
On a separate note, have you used any USDA grants or loan programs or similar?

Love your content. We're you able to fill up that inner tube with methane? I didn't see an update video. Would love to see more methane vids. Thnx!
