I’d love a video that was just 1/2 hour of rain on a high tunnel with happy chicken noises. That’d put me right to sleep.
Nice idea and pretty easy to do :)
i always enjoy the sound of rain
I love any tour you take us on. The rain was a bonus. Very nice, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed Sandi!
My favorite channel of all the permaculture/gardening channels. Thank you for all you do, your insight, your effort. Much appreciated! Have a great day!!
Excellent. I'm building my first high tunnel this year, mostly from reclaimed materials. I can't wait to have perennialized greens! And the road noise wasn't bad. Neither was the rain.
Your water management is some of my favorite stuff
Thats great. I hope to make time to make more videos on the subject
Wow, digging a slope along the outside of the high tunnel to feed back inside is brilliant.
When I saw the dust bath area I was both amused and shocked! Chickens are so destructive yet so helpful. Our hens attacked our brassica seedlings as we took a break from planting. We only lost 4 plants luckily!
I really like all of the passive watering elements in your tunnels. Especially as we are garden in the high desert, seems like something applicable to our area.
I would think in your area having season extension be placed on contour with swales running through them would be VERY helpful if not critical...
The rain is definitely a pleasant background sound.
Good to know!
You are genius. Humble and forthcoming.
The waterways do work so good in your clayisch soil.
Nice! Only thing i harvested so far in Pennsylvania is asparagus. Might have to make a cattle panel high tunnel, i think i'm missing out.
If you can make one on the cheap they are quite worth it
Love seeing the Claytonia in your food system. Gives me hope for getting into mine somewhere. Love the soundtrack ❤
Claytonia is a joy
Claytonia is such a joyful addition anywhere you need a smile. It is also a great source of Omega-3. That is a rare attribute for a plant.
@@lisahoche4017 I’ve gotten a little to grow in my Attic Garden at times, but not outside. Didn’t realize it had Omega 3, I grow purslane just for that. I’ll def give it another go with some thought to the placement. Thanks!
@@SeeStuDo what zone are you in? Claytonia is definitely one of the most hardy winter greens. So, claytonia for fall, winter and spring Omega-3 and Purslane for summer Omega-3.
@@lisahoche4017 6b. I think I was trying when too hot, gonna seed for my fall and winter gardens this year.
I always appreciate your videos Shawn. Great ideas. You put alot of effort and love into them and well explained. Easily explained and inspirational. Easily one of my fav channels.👏👏👏 well done.
I love the idea of adding catnip to the hen house , to keep it fresh and nice smelling, I do the same with black walnut boughs.
L O L! I was just re-watching your high tunnel videos playlist today!
:). Hope your spring is grand!
ill be ordering my hingtunnel today, I am so excited about it!
Best of luck to you!
Absolutely love it! Thank you so much as always 😀💚🙏✨
Yes... Goomi seeds sprout best when you pick them directly from the fruit and plant them immediately rather than letting them dry up and plant them later.
Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your video tours and the happy hens ♦♦♦
Our pleasure
Catnip is a wonderful sleep aid. You can make tea. For me it works better than lavender, chamomile, or any of the other herbs commonly used.
Thanks Sean, cool share!
Hm, youtube is being 'funny'. Somehow my notifications from your channel were on personalised... I had selected to receive all notifications a long time ago, I don't know how they randomly switch to personalised because I didn't do that. However, I just searched for the channel and saw you posted 3 videos since I last watched. Happy to see the updates!🤗
Glad you are back on track to get all the videos! I've heard this from other folks, too. Pretty odd...
great stuff 🙏
Thanks Sean! Always inspirational and instructional to see your systems evolving.
The passive watering of the large tunnel is just great. Covered spaces ar often quite dry deep down, not good for soil life. You still chose the huidity levels of shallow soil (for soil born or air humidity related diseases)
Passive watering is my favorite when it can work
I got a fire in mine to, as I watch. :) April or not, I dislike being cold.
Very good tour and informative like the chickens hanging around waiting for a treat,lol Good plans for the future also a very good salad bar you have growing wild there sounds like a very good idea many herbs and greens just walk-in and pick for yourself or keep under control be feeding to the chickens. excellent .
Thanks Antio
This will be my first year doing shiitake logs. I’d love an update on yours!
Good luck!
We'll share some notes one day soon
I think the hot weather is coming ...we were 29 celsius here yesterday and today in Kamloops in the interior of British Columbia Canada
I am expecting this to be a tough summer. Hopefully I'm wrong but...
Beautiful Sean! thanks for sharing and the beautiful tour,
Question, How do you conserve the ginger rhyzomes trough the winter for planting on spring?
I have some tumeric for harvesting and i have to preserve it forplanting next spring
Love from Uruguay

So fantastic! Great water retention systems. For a Vining crop, have you tried Caigua? They taste like cucumber but nicer. You eat raw when they a very small or when large cut out seeds and stirfry. They are prolific! The seeds are really cool looking too. Your spring is moving slow but down here our summer seems to be never ending! Quite a rare treat in the deep south of NZ.
Neat suggestion I will certainly check that out, thank you!
So much lush greens available, love it. I hope we get that rain in the next few days. Such a dry April. Need to figure out how to make these with welded wire fencing, cattle panels are too rare and expensive in Canada.
I'm sure there are some other creative ways to set something like this in motion
We're getting that rain now. High tunnels are at least trying to be as cool as Chicken TV. :)
:)
I love all those comparisons. From lush & beautiful to barren and loved by fowl. Could you maybe do a seed ball making demo sometime? Would the soil in the "dust bowl" be good to use? I'm thinking you might have used them in your gg days. Not like you don't have enough to do :)
We haven't explored making seed balls so I don't have much at all to offer there... Hmmm...
how do you deal with aphids and caterpillars, with so much kale growing in such small spaces?
Aphids havn't been a problem (yet?)... I think the soil is pretty healthy in here... Caterpillars are tough but if we do things in waves it seems to work out
Great and useful tour.mod you have trouble with mice? Here in Sweden they keep on eating seeds.
Figs : a ring filled with dry straw might help them overwinter
I hear that, but boy o boy would that be a scrumptious home for voles, too.... tricky to find the balance!
I have given up and now drag my figs inside to the basement for winter. I am shocked that the ginger has made it but the figs didnt.
I watch all the videos and get so many ideas; I want to plant everything. Then I start trying to imagine what I would do with it all! I can freeze, dehydrate, and can. I have family pretty nearby, and neighbors. There's the food pantry . . . I will not go hungry. But can one old gal keep up?
If you can, transmit your knowledge as much as your ’crops’ . Like a canning morning or afternoon. You’ll get help, motivation, and make someone more skilled to boot
There is certainly more growing in these spaces than we need, and the idea is to have it be a) MUCH less stress when inevitably some is eaten by wild creatures, b) very very easy to offer up harvest to friends and family and c) demonstrate abundance to all involved. I think when we have a huge salad and see what feels like a ton of lettuce remaining it makes it feel easier to eat the greens at the volume we'd actually want!
I give up on hablitzia. I've tried and tried to grow it from seed with zero luck.
Always learn something from your videos. Thanks! What's the best way to use catnip to deter squash bugs?
Seems like rubbing it on the plants and leaving some leaves/branches helped immensely... Just make sure it hasn't gone to seed
@@edibleacres Thank you!
@18:38 What is the blue flowered plant in the upper left of the screen? Thanks.
I think thats a lungwort. Didn't plant it but it's nice so we leave it!
Those hightunnels are so beautiful. Also what are you gonna do with all that ginger? :D
Who knows how much we get, so not planning for big yields yet! Hope is to freeze as much as possible for winter health and pleasure
peace, are you worried about salmonella at all coming from the chicken manure mixed with compost? Thanks!
Nope... They are healthy hens and the compost goes through a living system with worms and warmth and air and rain and the things that reduce those concerns. Bad farming and gross conditions are where those are issues
Why were a fork and a spoon in the chicken wire?
For fun :)
@@edibleacres Hahaha. Ok. I respect that.
MY GUY HAS A 4000 DOLLAR RAINCOAT AND A MILLION DOLLAR BEARD
Not sure what to do with this comment but... thanks? :)
