Raised beds get hotter than the ground and the soil dries out faster. You might want to try mulching the surface of each bed with rotten hay or even grass clippings (my personal favorite for small spaces). Even veggies grown in the ground do better with about 2-3" of mulch.
@7:32 the snakey likey garlic!!! Look in the corner back wall...Garlic Snake is happy!
Love you guys ❤
Lovely video thanks 😊
Can you brace the chicks leg.
Now, I’m not trying to criticize. I have a genuine question. Is two scoops of that food all you feed those pigs and is that enough? I honestly have no idea. I’m just wondering.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to put that gimpy leg chick down.
Now a milk cow for milk, butter and cheese!! Love how your homestead is developing and growing!
Test your soil in a cell pack- plant some bean seeds and see how they com out. That will show you if it’s low in fertility or sprayed
Did you see the black snake in the corner of the barn? I saw it when you were doing the garlic
You probably already have it figured out but my mom said when she was a kid and they raised turkeys there was a additive that went into the water to help prevent the leg limps. She couldn't remember the name only that it was a red dye.
First year garden beds are usually tough to grow in. Check your nitrogen level.
Add all that manure to your raised beds. I plant in 100% horse manure. I don't even compost it. My broccoli are the size of a soccer ball. Have for many many years. Works amazing.
The logo on the truck door looks very professional.
Three generations of beautiful family ladies all smiles and laughter bringing in the harvest as things were intended.
Jason you are so blessed, take a moment sometimes and take in some of the joy you bring to us through all that you accomplish.
Loraine- blue dazzle kale and red Russian kale. Red Russian is heat tolerant and grows like crazy. Love them
Consider using contruction flags for labeling your garden. We defintely use perma marker on the flags themselves for those fksgs we will use a few more years to come.
It's been the quickest 18 months since you moved to the new property and it's amazing how much produce you and Lorraine are already producing on what is baron land, all be it in raised beds, in no time at all you have the soil how you want it and you will be producing so much.
I still think you will be able to correct the wonky legged turkeys, one option is a small piece of plastic straws (if you can get them) cut a small piece, thread a small elastic band through the straw and attach each end of the rubber band to each leg, whick will pull the bad leg into a better position, it should work for the little chick as well, then keep the limpy flock together. Having corrected a double talipees in a kitten it is amazing how the body wants to heal. Thinking about using plastic straws - you could cut a metal straw to the size needed as it would be more sturdy and you could use them over and over as it seems these little things do seem to have leg issues.
Love to you all xxxx
I got a Tower Garden Aeroponic system last month, it was the best thing I ever did. I grow all my veggies and some fruits indoors and it’s amazing! No bugs, no pests, it’s only 5$ a month to run the lights and the pump. I’m looking forward to fresh fruits and veggies in the winter!
Wonderful progress & great family team effort! Thanks for sharing!
Minute 7:32.....BLACK SNAKE in the barn.
Roots an refuge farm moved to SC started their beds with some contaminated soil. It ruined everything. I hope you didn’t get bad soil.😮😢
💕 the garden updates 👌
Are you going to do a soil test? Bone meal is good to help nitrogen loss in the soil. Yellowing shows nitrogen is needed.
Good to see how things are going😊
Hi...... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you love watching your videos homestead. I also want to start homestead but how I don't know, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐄🐖🐝🌱🌻🌼🌹🌸🌺🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
that snake... @7.30 poppin his head up and the up along the rafters...Im Australian so snakes we know
Bought soil seems to be troublesome for many this year. 💚🌞
Too much plants can cause inflammation. Just be careful how much plants you eat..
You and your family are inspiring beyond words. We started a homesteads in 2020 and watching your channel has improved our experience tremendously. Thanks
Jason, you feeling better eating mostly meat with your past skin challenges?
That was red Russian kale you were talking about you should have took your soil from your old place out of your garden took it with you take so long to build up good soil doing good on that one garden oh wow I like curly kale don't like the red Russian but the chickens love it so I grow some for the chickens
I have found that purchased bulk soil is not always finished composting. The first year, plants don't do well because the compost is still breaking down, it robs the plants. Next year should be better.
Garlic $49 per kg (NZ dollar) at the supermarket so definitely worth growing
Anybody else notice the snake on the back wall at 7:32?
Love fresh garlic!
Nice spot!
Yikes!
And meat is MUCH better for you than vegetables…….
Premier Kale from Burpee is really good.
Yes, your new soil is dead. Any soil can be fixed (Unless you have added hay or manure where Grazon was used). My suggestion is to select a good spot on your property and then work on bringing it to life. (Is that where you had the plastic?) One large garden is easier to care for than ten smaller ones. Read books on creating a living soil. It works. You can start by putting your chickens on the spot where the garden will be (instead of black plastic). If you decide to keep the dead soil, then mix in chopped leaves into the soil in the fall. In the following spring, plant your stuff, lightly spread chicken manure around in it, water it in well, and then mulch with grass clippings. Do not bury the chicken manure because shavings will go in with it, reducing the affect of the manure.
You could have done better to use chicken manure spread lightly on your raised beds, watered in, and then covered in grass clippings (instead of spending money on soil). Cost = free. Though, with potatoes almost ready to harvest, that would not be a good idea.
Afraid of going to seed? I'm afraid things won't go to seed. Gather those free seeds! Select form the best plants so you will improve upon the genetics in your environment. Be sure to remove seed heads from weak plants before the blooms open.
Gather your Japanese beetles in a pan of cold water and then pour them into a pan for your chickens to eat. Do this after the sun sets behind the trees so the beetles will drop off easily and not fly away. Free food.
After picking the garlic, wash the bulbs off with a garden hose and then let dry in the sun. Now bring them inside the barn to cure. You will not need to remove dirt that way.
Leg problems in meat birds can be caused by poor stock or poor diet. Leg problems in home hatched chicks are from incorrect incubation temperature or pulling stuck chicks from their shell. Never "save" a stuck chick. Incubate better instead. If the hen hatched these, then one of the eggs might have gotten chilled.
I may sound heartless, but stringing along a frail bird is not wise. In close confinement, the others will pick on it until it dies and then they will go cannibal on it. Now they will have a taste of blood and will be difficult to break. Yours have a lot of room so you may not run into that. I would cull anyways. Focus on putting your limited resources where they will really count.
All the best.
Our homestead is in Monroe NC. We've just got to go visit y'all! Y'all are just AWESOMELY AWESOME!
Wow, those beds from last year look fantastic. I hope adding that good soil to the other beds will bring it along also. I love the grin on your face, Jason, whenever you are behind the wheel of your truck. I am so happy y'all were able to get it. Good to see your mom back to visit. Y'all have a Blessed day.
I just warned someone today about garlic math. I first grew I head, 6 cloves. The next year I grew 100😂 I haven’t counted yet but it’s over 300 and I grew most from my own seed stock🙌🏻 that I originally got from locally grown garlic at a farm near me.
Did you see the snake in the background @ 7:32? Love those raise beds.
You are a hardworking team!
I've seen people put rubber bands on baby chick's legs to pull together to fix leg problems. Might need to put in cage for a while though.
The good news when you don't care for one type of kale is you can always give it to the pigs or cows.
Your property is so beautiful ❤😊
Maybe try an in-ground garden in an area where some animals have amended the soil and see if you have better luck.
Anyone else notice the snake in the back corner during the garlic braiding time laps!? :) Got to love the homestead visitors! haha
Kale will grow best as a winter garden in your climate
My mom made clover jelly when I was a youngster. It was great on toast!!!
Soil may be too hot...happened to me with "new" soil, too. Next year we'll probably be better for it.
I had a chicken that had the same issue with the leg. You need to exercise the leg every day for a week or so and it will correct the issue. (Move it around ...in and out movement )They don't like it but it does the trick. My rooster is now two years old and is doing great! We've had multiple chicks from him and have had no issues with his offspring.
Good job!❤
bigger and better ! and, did you get a new camera? I've noticed that the picture quality of video is much sharper..
chicken math, garlic math - ehhh the total is you got more !!
Your baby oinkers are so cute❤
Ive tried so many kale..they all are terrible..not for me
Just love watching you guys 😁 from Alaska
You need to have that new soil tested for pesticide and herbicide residue. Your plants should not looking that way. I think it’s contaminated
7:30 mark during your Timelapse, did you notice the snake in the corner?
Now I would have to burn the barn down...I would still be running.
Gardening is a work of art. God bless.
Have thought a bought rabbits? Rabbits give great fertilizer. And rabbet is good!
I bought some soil from a nursery and nothing will grow in it. I think there is some sort of poison in it. So disappointing.
I love the fresh garden peas as well! Prepare yourselves heat is probably on the way !
Red Russian Kale or Ragged Jack Kale, it is my personal favorite, I prefer it raw in salads and the older leaves go to my chickens!!!! I do have some of the dwarf Siberian Kale I will try this fall. Dinosaur Kale is terrible tasting, I bought some from Whole Foods before I tried planting any, so glad I didn't waste any garden space for it.
7:32 danger noodle on the back wall.
I like your logo on the truck. maybe put a worm bin in the barn to make castings for the garden.
Jess and Miah from Roots and Refuge bought soil that had something in it as well.
7:37 mark a black snake in the back corner of the barn climbing the wall
Oh my gracious!! It IS a black snake!😱 Good eye! 🙌🏼
I love to watch your video's.
If your gifted a handful of seeds God will bless you with the ground to grow them in. But So very true. It is easier to grow animal versus food at times. We hop to have kunekune pigs soon added to our homestead.
Wow its so good to watch your TH-cam vids from home and iam talking about MARSHALL ISLANDS
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
In our area... DEER ravage our gardens. :( Oh, bunnies too. But deer definitely is the hardest to contend with.
Yep we got some bad dirt at Walmart. Had to start over
Did anyone see the SNAKE climbing the wall at minute 7:33?
Aren't you across the way from Hallor homestead . His soil is the same. They grow everything. Not sure what problem is .
Told Ben holler homestead build a rectangle out of 2x4s take chicken wire and staple it down to the rectangle 2x4s. I put mine on the saw horse but you could hang it from your ceiling just drop a couple 2x4s out of the ceiling and have your family hang it for years to come. Put your garlic in the holes of the chicken wire...
Hey Jason and Lorraine, Dazzling Blue Lancinato is the Dry Kale that you are not fond of. It is a cross pollination variety of Dinosaur kale. Dinosaur kale isn't a true kale. It is actually a non heading cabbage. The purple veined variety that you can't remember is Ragged Jack. The Siberian is a true kale and will taste fantastic after it experiences its first fall frost. You should let your lettuce plants bolt and produce seeds as you will get seeds that are acclimated to your garden.
I always thought clover tasted like what pea shoots taste like, with a bit of bitter mixed in. Which makes sense, as I think clover is a legume. It isn't bad at all, though. I used to eat it when I was a kid, up in Vermont.
Really nice update folks.
Jason nice to see you on the 3 guy podcast. Good idea.
Im a raised garden bed fan also.
Thanks for the video
Awesome video guys! Looking to get pretty heavy into this myself this season . We have a 7 acre plot that we’re going to make thrive here!
I have had clover tea and it is quite good with just a touch of orange blossom honey!
There’s that black snake 🐍 you throw into the forest 🌳 😂 . At 7:30 you see a black snake 🐍 on the back right top corner 👀
Looks like your doing well. ❤❤❤
Boy do I understand. This is year 3 on my Alabama garden. It's better than the last two so far but nothing like my Montana garden was for 10 years.
Vegetables are not as healthy as people think. We would taught that vegetables are healthy but in fact there not and can actually cause gut issues and a wide range of health problems. There also not bio available so your not actually getting the nutrients that are in the vegetables and they have natural plant toxins that cause gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, small intestinal bacterial-fungal overgrowth, inflammation throughout the entire body and GI track, fibromyalgia, brain fog, arthritis, and bladder issues. And much more.
I live in Weaverville and my garden isn’t growing. I have raised and ground planted beds. I think it is the cool nights and the overcast sky’s.
honestly my biggest issue is pests. I fought caterpillars, squash bugs, aphids. I have a groundhog that I can't keep out and squirrels ate my cantaloupe :/
It could be the smoke many people are saying...its ruining there gardens..and whats it doing to our animals that are breathing it?
I’ve already designated the first 2 seasons for soil building. No way anything is going to grow in the depleted native.
I agree, test the soil and mineralize. You are amazing. I love watching your progress. I makes me happy
Jason, still Tryna figure out what boots you wearing. Looks comfortable my guy and I like one for myself. Where you get it from?
Bro I've been asking you almost every video I get a chance to ask. What type of boots you are wearing?? I've been trying to figure out! Where the hell you get your boots from??
sometimes just after chicks hatch with a gimpy leg you can tape their legs together with masking tape or bandage tape and the bad leg will straighten out so they can walk, that chick should be put down, it can not flourish when it cant walk,
That's a squirrely surprise chicken. So cut.
OMG THERE IS A SNAKE CRAWLING IN THE CORNER OF THE BARN AND ACROSS THE WALL. TIMESTAMP 7:35 LOOK BEHIND THE DAUGHTERS HEAD IN THE CORNER.
I like to make kale chips with almond butter and salt.
Cooks in the oven at 400F for 8-10 minutes.
If you have pests it’s the soil tha needs improvement. Pest job is to eat weak or low nutrient plants
If your going to grow lot of plants get a tiller plow and put it on the land if you are to worried about weeds plow the garden deep and after it rains put black plastic down and it will not dry out I have left my plastic down for 2 seasons before replacing it and the ground is as soft as the you plowed it after 2 years raised beds are more for looks in my opinion or really just a trend that got started growing on the ground is the best way period.....
Yes, I’m afraid you have some vegan pigs there😂
Ok but am I the only person who saw the snake crawling up the wall at 7:30?
I really enjoyed your break down of the varieties of kale
