Good for 20 years
I'm late to the party but I'm really enjoying your videos. I've owned a farm in Ontario on the north shore of Lake Erie south of London for 10 years, but until now I've just leased out the land to a local cash cropper – corn and soybeans. But this year we've decided not to do that. So we'll be planting a larger garden, getting some chickens, ???, and profiting I guess. I've watched almost all your videos since finding the channel a couple of days ago. Thanks for the great content!
I <3 watching your videos!! So interesting, and fun!
suggestion…….. use Cattle Cage wire to arch over you Hugelkultur mound for you squash and tomorrow and other vine veggies
You should get a huge tank, cut the top off, and sink it into the ground and build a pond around it. So the tank is 10 feet deep and then a pond sits on top, grow your fish In the pond and use the extra water for the garden, all the fish piss will be fertilizer. One of those 5000 gallon tanks, the pond will hold about 7,500 to 10,000 gallons of water and make roof rain go into the pond.
Then you can grow duck weed and feed your fish for free too.
Perfect german
What a fun loving couple! Great job!
YouTube recommendations got me to your channel and I've spent hours in the past few days consuming your content. Thank you for the quality content.
Learning a tonne and laughing a lot at the same time. You guys are adorable.
18+ bees has clicked dislike :E
You guys are too funny! It sounds like my gardening ability only I was laughing at myself and talking to my dog!! Love it!!!!!
I heard burying wood pulling nitrogen out of the soil as it decay's.
I am sure someone pointed out, when you use transplants, you are suppose to loosen up the roots before you put the transplants in the soil. It really is important to do it.
Great story. Made me laugh. Your hard work will pay off. I can’t wait for my mounds to show me what they can do.
Cabbage. Grandmother scolded me for not using wood ash bug control. Might help.
Sweet Hugels you guys.
I've planted garden really late before like in late May and later, but everything grows! I've had tomatoes and such longer than most gardens! People usually do successive plantings of beans and cucumbers so they can keep harvesting forever! You could do the Ruth Stout method of planting in mulch and just plant in that old hay where it is! Great for potatoes. I've used her method for 45 years and had great results. Grass clippings are my favorite mulch so just keep mowing! I use fresh grass clippings even. It heats up and kills grass seeds. Just like it near the garden and let it start to decompose and then spread it. I've done it before but also just spread it thin enough to dry out well. Have fun. Don't forget to plant horseradish. Comes up every year and us so tasty! Plant pickling cucumbers and dill for fabulous pickles. I have a great Mennonite recipe
You are a cute couple. Thanks for the video
I miss your videos!!!
If your having fun, You ain't doin anything wrong!!
I would think a wood chipper would speed things up a bit, also wood first binds up nitrogen as it decomposes, releasing it later, adding the manure should make up for that.
My hay grows grass seeds for several years as it's baled, not lying out loose
Love the video and you guys are so cute. Planning a huglekultur for 2021 and this video gave me a bunch of ideas, thanks. I love the sorrel joke.
Hey guys ,not sure that is going to work . Should have covered the wood with compost
