- One of the things that makes life enjoyable on a farm is...automation! With chores a part of every day life, eliminating a task from any given day can be a huge help. Today we're installing an automatic water system for the ducks and turkeys. We're also showing a new fertilizer we'll be using on the farm from IV Organics.

I see the turkeys are about as much help with chores as my Scottish terriers are. Spring is looking good.
Ha! Yeah, they try to get in there and "assist" sometimes, but much like your pup or a toddler they usually just get in the way!
I think we have that exact waterer for our dogs in the back yard, I absolutely love it. We *do* have to clean it out regularly due to algae buildup, but it's a simple task. As far as poultry though, I've seen several interesting systems with watering cups, a bucket, and a toilet fill valve hooked up to a hose.
I'm sure it is the same one. We picked this one up on Amazon and so far it's working well for the ducks. As you know, being able to unhook it that easy sure helps when it comes to cleaning out the gunk!
Are you actually able to unhook it to clean? The comments on Amazon say the best you can do is scrape debri out.
You two are the highlight of my day. It's nice to see you have fun and enjoy yourselves
Aww, I'm glad to hear that!
That is CRAZY how loaded those peach trees were/are!
We have been very surprised how heavy the peach set was this year, especially with all of those late frosts.
Bloopers are the best today!!!
I'm not sure what got into us last weekend with the bloopers. We were slap happy first thing in the morning!
Humongous amount of peaches! :-D My partner almost started to cry watching all that thinning... Well, at least we have a hope now - just few hours ago we planted our first peachtree. Your example keeps us (impatiently) waiting for harvest, too (after two or three years...)!
Peaches are one of our favorite fruits and they are one of the highlights of our harvest season. Those peaches will be there for you guys soon!!
Your "Automatic Waterer for Ducks and Turkeys" is brilliant! Where do you come up with stuff like this? Everything you do is SO organized and well done.
We hang a plastic soup ladle on a nail right above the waterer. We use that to clean out the debris in between major cleanings.
I've seen a few versions of the water barrel and the sip cups here on RUclips. Not sure where we came up with the livestock bowl for the ducks.
Excellent video. love seeing your fruit trees, such jujube, fig, grape , peach, goat, duck geese, chicken and waiting next video
Lots to cover in this one Abid. Glad you saw that Jujube!
Love the shirt from Vail's 4H!
So the place I (Duane) work, Unicoa, sponsored Vail's 4H this year and my owner made sure to snag one of the shirts for me!
Always love seeing your fruit trees, beautiful as ever. Looks like you two work very well together.
Hey there Daryl! The fruit trees are definitely coming around. It's amazing to see the farm come back to life in the Spring!
Hi neighbors! I am so excited to see your FLP out of control with peaches! i cant wait to see your harvest. and the blackberries!!! Our 12 varieties are all hanging in there so far, lets see how this summer goes LOL. Great job with the auto watering syst. Genius design which gives me ideas for up north this summer on our ridge just south of Prescott. Sorry i missed your Tour again. We would love to come next time! please know that my family and i watch your channel on a regular basis and we look forward to new videos and updates! Cheers
Hey there Aaron! I imagine the watering systems will work well for you up North, but you may need to insulate a bit for those really cold nights.
We'll get you guys out here again one of these days!
Your teamwork is amazing. 😍 💞 The connection at the end always put a smile on my face. 💕
I'm glad to hear that. For some reason we were slap happy the entire weekend, so it spilled over into the bloopers.
Can't wait for the roses update!
Hey Brandon! We're looking forward to it as well!
My grandmother in Pasadena, Ca. had garden gnomes in her rose gardens. Freaked me out when I was a kid.
My mom had those in her gardens as well and I was never a fan either! Downright creepy if you ask me.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Now I want them.
@@slamboy66 oh the restful sleep you'll have with them guarding the place!
Hello neighbors! Thank you for sharing, it's been very helpful especially living out here in Wittman.
Hey there Ally! Where are you guys at in Wittmann? We're off Patton and 243rd.
@Edge of Nowhere Farm we are off jomax and 191st, we are on 2 acres. We just planted one apple tree and two peach trees. Our raised garden bed is slowly coming along but we are excited about it all.
@@Ally-oh very cool. You're a bit closer to town than we are, so you should have no problems getting wood chip deliveries through Chip Drop. One of the best things for those fruit trees!
The turkeys must be union, Just standing around.🦃🦃🦃
Or they are like the bosses standing on the golf course watching each other putt.
Bailey and Monica would have been right up in there with us if we didn't have a fence separating us. Actually, we didn't pick it up on camera, but both of them had blue glue on their beaks at one point as they were trying to "help" me connect a couple of pieces!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Classic farm animals
@@LCamp-cr7fs Right on
You two make my heart so warm🥹🥹🥹🥹
Aww, I'm so glad to hear that! 😊
You two are hilarious 😂 I need that tonic regularly.
I'm not sure what got into us last weekend. We were slap happy the entire time!
I think your bloopers are becoming my favorite part. Lol!
Hey Jynxie! I'm glad you enjoy those. Most folks don't stick around for them (RUclips usually has about 20% of those who start watching are here by then), but I (Duane) have always enjoyed staying until the end of movies for any bloopers!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm ditto!
Finally catching up with the backlog of videos. Great solutions to lots of different situations these last couple of videos - well, always. Looking forward to seeing how much your perennials produce. (the artichoke) One of my most favourite fruits is the cherimoya (cutard apple). I would even get most devious to obtain this fruit on a regular basis! Even walk miles!
These artichokes were a first for us and they have done well so far. We're looking forward to seeing how they bounce back after dying back this season.
Omg, those peach trees look amazing!! You are so lucky to have all those peaches(my favorite fruit). If you get to selling them, I’d love to be on the list. I do subscribe to your news letter.
We're really looking forward to peach season. I don't know that we'll have much available for sale this year, but that is the plan once we have enough production. You'll be the first to know when we do being on our mailing list.😉
I'm loving Lori's EON sweatshirt. Your (Duane's) "Little Rascals" shirt means nothing to me. Maybe one day we'll get you to sport an actual EON piece of clothing. LOL!
Yeah, you would think the marketing side of me would get that together, huh? 😂
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm, I promise not to nag you about it anymore. LOL!
@@taylorvanbuskirk8040 definitely not nagging with this one Taylor. We're working on getting more of the logo apparel for us both to wear and this is a good reminder that we need to get on that!
Figs already. awesome
Thanks for video. Start clippings of trees in a shaded nursery.
Yeah, the frost a couple of weeks ago killed a few of the figs, but there are still a few hanging in there!
How is the worm life and microbial life in your soils under the trees and vines looking? Bet you have been building great soil the last few years.
We really need to get a shot of that. The worm activity is very good and the woodchips are really starting to break down well after this past season's rain.
This is such a great idea! I have 2 questions: how do you keep the green stuff growing in the barrel? And wouldn’t the water get piping hot in the summer, so the birds aren’t having the chance to cool down with fresher&cooler water?
Hey Melissa, great questions. The barrel is solid and does not allow light to penetrate, so algae is not a problem for us. We've been using the same setup for the chickens for a couple of years now and no algae in the barrel.
As for water temps, your poultry is not going to mind either way. Unless it's boiling water, they're going to drink it down one way or another. That being said, we do have this positioned so it's shaded in the morning by the coop and then in the afternoon by the tree somewhat. That helps keep it a little cooler, but again the birds won't care either way. Much like all of the wild birds all around town drinking water from wherever they can find it in the middle of summer.
I guess all the TLC is showing on your fruit production .Fan from Mississauga Ontario Canada
I think we've finally turned the corner with some of our projects seeing the plants all bouncing back from dormancy this year.
OMGOSH, how many glasses of wine did you two have prior? ROFLMAO 🤪 🤪🤪
I tried one of those dog water things. It was handy. Had it attached to the GH & every day it was filled with sand & bugs 😢. Went back to a tub lol .
Love you guys. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I'm not sure what got into us, but wine probably was involved at some point!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm
Regardless, you two make quite the team 💕. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Oh man....right now...I have artichoke envy.
They're getting a little heat stressed these days, but we've been having them with dinner for the last week. It's easy to get spoiled when you can just go pick one off your back patio!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm, lucky you!
We finally got some small shade trees in the ground but we have been fighting the stinknet weed, it is everywhere, just about done getting rid of it on our 6.5 acres.
Hey Chris! Glad to hear you guys are getting green in the ground.
Wow!!! Everything looks so great!!!
Quick question, I saw that sprinkler in the beginning. Do you have any specific ones that work well off well water pressure?
Hey Kylan. I'll link to the ones we use here on the farm. So far they are working really well for us and no issues with the pressure coming out of the lines.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you. I appreciate that!!
👍👍👍👍
Hey Irina!! 😊
What do you do with the little peaches you've thinned out?
With peaches we usually just compost them. Technically you should be able to feed them to the pigs, but I'd rather not have the pits going through them.
That is some real heavy fruit set! What is the plan for the geese?
Sean, we have never seen this much fruit set. We had a tree lose a branch to fruit set this year for the first time since we've been growing in AZ (over 12 years). That Winter weather we had really did wonders for these trees.
The geese are primarily here for guard duty. They do a very good job keeping aerial predators at bay and the male makes it very clear to anyone approaching that you're not welcome!
Those hogs are getting HUGE!!!
Once the ducks and geese are let loose to wander, how on earth do you get them back into their bedroom?
The pigs are just beasts right now. We were planning on having them to the butcher no later than April, but they overbooked and we're having to hang onto them about a month and a half longer.
The ducks and geese usually wander into their pen on their own in the evening. If not, it's pretty easy to round them up and they file right in.
That one goose needs some therapy to work out some latent aggressive tendencies! 😂
Boy is that every the truth. Fred likes to make sure you know he's there and doesn't want anybody around his flock!
What did you do with the chicken manure? I wondered as I saw, since it's not Feb, May or Sep. Then you drove over it with the tractor a bunch, before gathering it again. I didn't catch the point?
Yeah, I probably should have explained that a bit. That was the compost we've been working on for several months that we took back and mixed with the chicken manure and pine shavings from our brooder. We keep adding more material to the compost and never give it a chance to finish which is why we moved it.
just ordered Moringa seeds from your amazon list. my blackberrys in pots over wintered inside, and i'm just about ready to plant outside in garden. Duane the look awful!!! help me!!! zone 7b/8a just north of you.
Ok, so have you transplanted them yet? If not, some time outside to re-climatize will help. Usually only needs to be a day or two, but with our warm weather right now it should be a good time to plant. Is there any green on them?
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm yes close to the primary stalks
@@SG-vu4qy as long as you're seeing some green you should be fine. These take off like crazy once they're transplanted and it doesn't take much to get them going.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you so much!
Okay.
So it looks like a great system but. how did it work? As far as the ducks.
It's still fully functional and we have had no issues with it for the ducks. We usually clean it out once/week in the duck area as it eventually gets a lot of build up from them swilling food and mud through their bills.
Are there any tricks to cleaning it out
@@jbdjessa2 We swipe it with our hands each day to clean it out and then once/week remove it and give it a more thorough cleaning. They're very easy to detach and attach.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thanks for the response!
@@jbdjessa2 I just blast mine with a water hose
No-offense but you might ought to get a subcompact with turf-tires so you can practice your loader-skills. I wouldn't have put my hands on a shovel for any of that compost work. Box-blades are overrated, just saying.
I can't argue with that one Bob. I think Lori is better on that thing than I am to be honest!
You know David when you were in Los Angeles, I send you message and my email address. I was hoping through you I can have little better understanding what he’ll going with Armenian government. It really concerns me because I tried to help Armenia anyway I can, unfortunately you didn’t respond to my message. The talk is cheap David, nether you can save life’s with empty talks or save the country. Just to let you know David it was me who tried to influence US government to stop the Azerbaijani invasion into Armenia, US government responded accordingly, I’m truly grateful to US government, and I will do everything within my power, make sure this country always will stay powerful, only US scientists know who I’m one day you will find out who I’m, what knowledge I possess and what I did to gain US government respect.
Hey Levon. I (Duane) have not been to Los Angeles in quite some time. I moved away from there back in 1992.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I do apologize, I have no idea how my message ended up in your RUclips channel. After watching your video, I watched another video from my country men by name David, my message was directed to him, is funny how my message ended up in your RUclips channel.
@@Levon9404 no worries. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something!
