Love Jerusalem artichoke tubers
There is a guy on YouTube that takes out wasps nests and what he does with the nests he captures chemical free is feed the larvae to his chickens. He puts the nest on the ground and they peck the grubs out of it.
how did it smell?
I wonder if this guy knows the alexanders or the farrs #grandsolarminimum #billitary #jimminycrypto
He does get a lot of external food waste trucked in for them, so you would need to see that into account if you wanted to emulate this.
Where's the rest of the video bro? 🙂
Signed up for your 5 week micro greens online course. Looking forward to it.
However, in the middle of this climate crisis, do we really want to add MORE domesticated animals in this world? I mean, we have 70+ Billion worldwide already and are growing food to FEED those animals (with less than an 18% calorie return)..
I just find it incredibly wasteful to grow food for an animal, when we could just grow food for ourselves instead, no?
Now I just need someone to dump compost. And this wouldn't be considered organic most likely due to the dump from what I remember him saying years back since they get it from schools. But I would love to get away from grain. I heavily limit the amount of grain I give my chickens but they're still heavily picky eaters when I throw them specific garden leftovers.
lol….exactly what they told Karl, "You can't do that" they told to my friend Paul in Thailand, ya see Paul wanted to raise his own catfish in tanks of water, of course he established a homemade filter system to filter the grudge from the water but his type of fish, the walking catfish doesn't need aeration in the water, they breathe just like us, from the air, 13 years later his project is a total success, if he'd a listened to the trolls saying "You can't do that", just think of all the fillet of catfish his wife and he would've missed out on!
I want chickens for garden cultivation. An occasional egg is desirable but not urgent. so I keep asking around for retired laying hens; usually get them free. I give them a scoop of soaked wheat in the evening when I move them to fresh ground to make sure they sleep with a full crop. they always plant some so the next summer they get what they planted.
I think I’ll make a video response soon to clarify some things…
Awesome video. My family in Croatia raise poultry without grains/special feed. There is no money for buying that stuff and no room to grow supplemental grains. Instead, they have access to the compost pile, whatever else they can forage (like lizards), but also their own little kale and lettuce gardens that are planted for them and cheap to do so.
I like your hat.
Usually I like your videos but this could have been a 20-30 second clip and given the same information.
So do they purely forage for their food? Or does he just drop tons of 2nd or 3rd grade crop in that area?
Some thoughts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ucIRzAwZN4&t=5s
SO COOL!!

I didn't knew that Fidel Castro was raising chickens!
"Raising Chickens Without Grain!"
3:10 cut away the evidence
Thanks a lot!
What about Raptors ? We have Hawks and Great Horned Owls? Can't let'em run loose ?
I see good in depth content on structing a farm and techniques for crop growing, however raising animals for slaughter is very concerning so I ask:
What is true of trait-equalized animals that if true of trait equalized humans would justify the slaughter of those humans for a meal?
You can give to ducks chicks, turkeys, etz CORN as long as is 100% ORGANIC. No that conventional poisonous GMO corn that they sell everywhere here in the usa.
Didn’t give any info…… aside from Jerusalem artichokes and compost
Exactly what I want to do!
Natural feeding
Thanks
