Intro To Pest Management in Controlled Farms: Greenhouses/Indoor/Outdoor Operations/Applications
In this video, we dive into the importance of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for both indoor growing operations and outdoor applications. IPM is a holistic approach to pest control that prioritizes sustainable, eco-friendly methods. By using cultural practices and biological control before resorting to chemical pesticides, we create healthier, more resilient growing environments. This not only reduces the risk of pest resistance but also protects beneficial organisms and the environment. When pesticides are necessary, we always follow label instructions and comply with local regulations to ensure safe and effective use.

Where is her farm located?
@@averybryant8198 Brooklyn Heights, Ohio. You can reach her with Vintage Alpaca through Facebook.
Swear to god after watching so many “how to” and “how not to” vids finally ran across yours and this was exactly what I needed. To the point, the kits in particular are worth every penny. No fuss with pvc elbow T joint nonsense.
This is wonderful!!! I have handspun yarn for Kim before and it is amazing to learn more and see some of these wonderful animals. Your work is very informative. Thank you for making this.
@@justbuttsastitch no problem! Kim is full of passion and knowledge. It was an amazing experience to be there and around the animals. Thank you for your support!
Nice farm, cool animals 🦙
@@CryostalTV magical animals indeed.
They are so awesome! I want to pet it!
@georgepelc4280 you can, go see the farm and do a tour.
I want one now!
This is awesome! This was so informative!

Indeed she is! ❤
That's awesome! Gonna have to get some figs going soon! Do you sell them?
@ksimokovich0312 Yes thank you for asking, we will do a video update on this topic soon! Might even win a free cutting or plant!
How long does it take to produce fruit? I love figs but I rarely eat them! Super cool 😊
@@dorothyajayi8204 it can take some time as most fruit trees do, depending on the size, environmental conditions perfect 3 year aprox up to 5 years if not ideal.
This is super cool! Didn't know you can grow these in Ohio. 😮
👍
Very zen!
I used rooting hormone on a cutting like that last year and grew a waterfall
@drewdroppings That is truly incredible. We didn't know it could bear such amazing fruit. Hopefully mine does this soon.
ALWAYS Interesting and clearly communicated ...you rock Brother!!
Thank you Good sir. You rock as well. Bless you!
Let’s get back to the basics!! Great job guys
Amen! 🎉
Very good set of skills to have. We gotta get back to being at least some-what self sufficient. Great video guys! We’ll have to get some more of Curt’s honey mead.
I'm truly grateful! I believe more people and have seen first hand getting into self-sufficiency. It is the future of this planet! ❤
Very nice. "Everybody should have a greenhouse", can't agree more. I also used the greenhouse as sauna in the early spring.
Amen. It is truly a gem to have one.
There is something so wholesome about how direct and thoughtful you are with all your advice. Love your videos man
Great teaching moment from an averted emergency. Good job
Hühner häuten sich normalerweise im Spätsommer bis Frühherbst. In dieser Zeit können sie vor den kalten Wintermonaten alte Federn abwerfen und neue wachsen lassen. Der Häutungsprozess kann je nach Vogel und Umgebung einige Wochen bis einige Monate dauern. Während dieser Zeit können Hühner die Eiablage reduzieren oder ganz aufhören, da ihre Energie auf das Wachstum neuer Federn umgelenkt wird. Du großer dummer Pole. Jeepers Weihnachten

I’m am glad I found you I didn’t realize they could get spider mites in their crest. I only have one Polish hen so far but I would love to have more. Mine loves to climb up to my head😂 Oh I have gathered from many website that Polish hens are excellent egg layers they were bred for it, do not give large eggs but they are consistent
They are amazing birds. So fun to watch! If you have any questions I may be able to help! Thank you for being here!
Whoa…that’s crazy cool! Excellent camera shots!
Ok bud here’s the deal, NEVER TUCH THE CHAIN WHILE THE SAW IS ON! There is literally never a reason to do that, ever. It’s super risky especially because over time those breaks come loose or the idle speed increases and you don’t want to have that habit. As pointed out above sharpen that chain and your job will be much easier and safer. 👍
Thank you for being here. And thank you for the tip!
It’s nice to see Zelenskyy relax a little bit with some yard work.
🇺🇦
You dont let anyone use your chainsaw because they will dull your blade. With what ive seen your chain is about as dull as it can be. There are no chips in that dust. Chris in the wood yard shows guys how to sharpen your chain with a dremal and a 3 pack of bits for 6 bucks. This method he uses is fast and good for the new chainsaw guy who cant hand file yet well.
I thought it looked super dull as well. My Ego electric saw would cut faster than that Stihl right now!
@@creepingcharly It was dull completely. My 180 cuts faster then that...
Thank you for your tips, I will check out his video. Hopefully, Santa will bring me a better chain this Christmas.
Sorry to be pedantic but not all browns are carbon, tea leaves and coffee grounds are brown but are nitrogen not carbon !
Great - but I would add a "low point" drain for easy winter draining.
Great point! The kit came with one, the customer didn't want it added as it can be another point of leakage. You can also just drain from the spigot itself and tip it.
I've been collecting neighbors leavess this year and finally told myself to stop. I need to get more now since I found out that it takes about 30 bags of double chopped leaves to make a single 4x4 pile. I also need to get some coffee grounds for nitrogen.
The addiction is real. Wave down a landscaping company doing leaf clean up and have them drop a load, Starbucks has free coffee grounds too
That’s really a better use of those leaves and grass. Thanks for explaing that in a way that was easy to understand! I will be starting my clipping compost now. About how much vegetable and other crap is safe to add to the compost?
Glad it was helpful! Recycling is the future of this planet!
You sure about that ratio? 30 buckets leaves to 1 of grass? I thought the 30:1 ratio refers to the C:N ratio of the material, not simply the brown to green ratio. So if leaves are 60:1 you need two buckets of 15:1 grass for every one bucket of leaves to keep a 30:1 ratio ([60+15+15] / 3)
The ideal C/N ratio for composting is generally considered to be around 30:1, or 30 parts carbon for each part nitrogen by weight, but most people won't weigh their stuff so volume can be the quickest way to achieve these results. Why 30:1? At lower ratios, nitrogen will be supplied in excess and will be lost as ammonia gas, causing undesirable odors. Also everyone's grass clippings if you did a true laboratory leaf analysis would contain different levels of nitrogen depending on if #1 the home owner applies regular feedings to their lawn, #2 if their yard is truly all grass and what type of grass Just to name a few, but as long as we are higher in carbon by a good amount that is really the true key which is easiest known as browns and green to the human eye.
Hey @mogapuppy as long as your carbon ratios are a lot higher than your nitrogen levels by a good amount you will receive good composting results, in the perfect world we could do analysis on how much carbon is in brown leaves of different species, and different nitrogen levels of different grasses or other lawn species, but for the purpose of this video we want to make it simple! If you want to talk further on this matter I'd be willing speak through insta and nerd out @greatlakessprouts Thank you!
Yeah, you are right @mogapuppy. Leaves have about c/n ratio of 50. And grass about c/n ratio of 20. You can mix way more grass, without getting excess nitrogen. 1 part grass 3 part of leaves is not a problem if mixed well and sufficient air is available
@bsod5608 The C:N ratio of leaves will depend on environmental conditions as well as the tree species, but the range for fall leaves is in the order 30-85:1 (variable) As long as you are higher in carbon, you will most likely succeed! Also managing the ratio will be different if leaves are harvester with freshly fallen leaves and vice versa for the purpose or this video this is quick method. Thank you for watching and your input as well! I'd like to get into more advanced methods with testing moisture and adding other enzymes/sugars well in near future.
The mold and stinkiness happens when there isn’t enough air. I like leaving sticks in just to keep some aeration.
Thanks for the informative video!
You are very welcome thanks for being here!
