Sweet Potato Harvest 2024: Our Variety|Amendments|How We Keep Voles Away!
Come check out our sweet potato harvest. We had a much better crop than last year! Next year we plan to create a couple more beds worth of crops. These are the Georgia Jets variety. I think next year we will go back to the Beauregard variety.
We have a heavy clay soil and have reaped the rewards by digging most of it out and backfilling with peat moss, top soil, and cow manure. Lots of watering over the hot summer months!

  • @sheri023
    @sheri023 9 месяцев назад

    Good idea about the manifold. Also if you are just using one barrel for gardening hose, you can raise it on blocks and it will give more pressure too. I have a couple of 32 gal. rubber trash cans I drilled a spigot hole about 10 inches up from the bottom to make room when i want to use my watering can. I have the second barrel connected to the first one with a 2 inch by 10-inch (an extendable length 10 to 20 inch) hose about 7 inches lower than the hole of the first barrel. I also have an overflow hose on the first barrel about 4 inches from the top. My roof space is about like yours and I really use that overflow hose with just the two barrels. Isn't this a fun project. I remade my downspout to make it come out to the barrel, as you did. I had to drill a lot with a hole saw but it was worth it since we are getting so much rain. The overflow hose (24 ft.) goes to a tree in the backyard and the spigots have garden hoses going to the front yard.

    • @countryprideliving
      @countryprideliving 8 месяцев назад

      Thanks. We are probably buying a small water pump to create more psi to drive the water down the decline into our garden. We'll see how it goes. Eventually I'm moving our oversize shed to the backyard near the garden installing some gutters to collect rainwater and then create a free flowing irrigation. For now the pump...

    Great video, I am considering buying the same aerator/seeder combo. What are your thoughts on the spike aeration vs plug aeration, and did you do any dethatching? Thank you for your time.

    • @countryprideliving
      @countryprideliving Год назад

      Hello and thank you! I have read the plug actually can do a better job at getting a bit deeper and allow for more water extraction than the spike aeration. For me I went with this combo seeder/spike aerator because it suited my needs more for spreading granules more efficiently like for instance my Milky Spore application for grub prevention. Aeration and seeding at the same time allowing my granules to root themselves better. I've never had the need for dethatching at this point. I think it's also a discussion of how much time commitment someone wants to put into their lawn. We are so busy with gardening/composting/maintenance/etc that I'm willing to only devote so much time to lawncare. At this point I feel I do enough... Thanks for the comment.

    Hey Friend, great video I am considering buying one also, I was going to purchase the plug aerator, broadcast spreader, and the dethatcher, all by Brinly. I only have a half acre of land to manage but do not want to buy a manual aerator and spreader. What are your thoughts on how effective the spike aerating will be instead of plug aeration? Thank you for your time.

      Thanks will do! Also I didn't build mounds or anything... But still think we had success due to the very loamy soil we created when planting. Thinking about doing a whole patch of these next year.

  • @monokheros5373
    @monokheros5373 Год назад

    No you wont get more waterflow or pressure.... you are restricted by the diameter of your hose ... need a manifold outlet CLOSE to source bigger then source outlet

    • @countryprideliving
      @countryprideliving Год назад

      Sorry I disagree. I'm not claiming powerful pressure but I did see an increase in the flow by sourcing the hoses through the manifold and letting them all flow versus just using the hose straight from the rain barrel. Again I didn't measure it by just from my own visual I could tell it made a bit of a difference. More so the manifold is also for convenience just not pressure.

    Rather than a trellis, I built a cafe around my blackberries. About three feet high, three feet wide and three feet long. Your plants are small now but the new canes next year will be able to grow up and hang over the sides, and not trail on the ground. Show a video next year of how your canes have grown! 😊

      Yes you can .Just need to make sure the connector is suitable (male vs female). I also bought a manifold to connect all 3 hoses into 1 central location to allow all barrels to flow at once or to allow each individual hose 1 at a time. Let me know if you'd like me to show a short video on the manifold.
