Will have to bring you some fish frames 🐟😉😁
What a win with that project - top notch as always - keep the content coming - you give me so much inspiration, thank you Team.
Cheers. 🍻
Great video !
Very nicely done.
just bought a 20 acre homestead/agistment farm, and will be settling there very soon.
So, very much appreciate your efforts in producing this content.
Cheers
Thanks for the feedback. It’s a juggle managing cameras and angles while getting the actual work done. But it seems to work out in the end.
Excellent video!
Thanks Terry. Tough trying to think about camera angles while actually doing the work.
I'm now up to three 0.9m³ bays & two 1.5m³ bays, all to feed 75m² of beds, a 3m x 6m polytunnel & a 2m x3m greenhouse & scrounging organic material to fill those bays has become a near obsession. Heck, I'm shredding 200kg of brown cardboard every year for carbon content & collecting the same amount of seaweed (plenty of the latter makes ordinary potato varieties taste fantastic).
Then I give most of what I grow away, as Mum & kid bother passed away inside the past year & a half, so there's only me & sister left.
Sorry to learn of your loss. We are certainly going into this a little blind but we’ll give it our best shot. We have plenty of brown material in the paddocks and machines to help gather it. We also have a good source of coffee grinds for nitrogen.
If water's a concern, think again about raised beds, as they need significantly more than keeping things at ground level, plus ground level beds with no physical borders let crops root out into the paths.
I use 1.2m wide beds, with 0.45m paths, the latter made of shredded woody garden material & freebies from a tree surgeon. The plants actually seem to prefer rooting into the decomposing path material!
Yes I have heard that elsewhere too. Fortunately we have an abundance of water. Thank you for the heads up on all this.
