I believe you're right about the soil in your raised beds. From the looks of it, there's way to much material in it which is not broken down enough. The microorganisms in the soil are using the available nitrogen to further break the wood chips down and in turn robs your plants of it.
Hey Jess, I think that pig shelter needs a "Miah Is my homeboy" sticker. Lol
Good for Ben! So glad to hear about your Dad. Blessings!
Love your farm.
ROFL! Oh Jess that was so great! Flashbacks to my childhood, sitting on top the station wagon (35 years ago) watching my Mom carry a bucket of corn in the lead while my dad moved an ornery sow to the farrowing barn with a twine noose tied on her leg to keep control. I must have been about 10 years old and we kids would enjoy the show better than any movie! (Dad cussed, Mom ran, the pig made a ton of noise and never did what they wanted her to! One sow, named Brownie, used to somersault over in her farrowing crate and then use her snout to lift the pin in the gate and escape. Childhood trauma, and yet exciting … running headlong into Brownie in the middle of the yard one day when i got of the school bus. 🙂
"Looks like a farm, feels like a farm" smells…it's a farm!!! Congrats on your amazing progress!
Pig chases. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Lol. All y’all need some pig sorting boards.
It's delightful to hear you speak of your dad's plans….so happy for all of you!
This brings back childhood memories of chasing pigs with my mom. I miss her so much and I know she would enjoy your channel! ❤
Your new garden has become a small oasis so quickly!
Looking good! Yes, the amount of steps that one takes on the property is alot….it will be interesting to see how you set everything up to avoid too many steps or repetitive steps.
Brilliant thoroughly enjoyed that video
I bought a shipping container years ago and had the ceiling and halfway down the walls spray foamed with and inch or two of insulation to minimize condensation. If you don’t do this it will literally rain inside your container after a freeze/thaw cycle and cause a lot of damage to anything you need to keep dry. I even had problems with solid metal shelves in the insulated container. Everything under a metal shelf got dripped on.
Good luck

My friend used to describe her home state of Wyoming the same way (flat, hardly any trees). She would say "if your dog ran off you could see him for three days!"
Any Christmas stuff found? Plans for planting trees for future building? I know it takes a long time but you will be surprised at how fast time flies. Also future firewood.
When you showed the storage container with all the feed suddenly I could smell it, we had a pig and goat, chickens,turkeys and a peony at one time when I was a kid and the memory of the smell of feed came back to me right at that moment. Been almost 20 years but it was like I was in the shed grabbing feed all over again.
So sesame street… "one of these things just dosen't belong" lol. Enjoyed that one Jess. Swweeeettt
Oh wow. Miss piggies
Not always so sweet. Thank you for raw material.
Piggies look like they want some garden snacks 🙂
