    You can only do so much, maybe when the kids get older and take an interest, you could get more chickens. From what I’ve seen you all are busy all the time. Hugs, follow God’s lead. Blessings to you and yours ❤️🎚🕊🇺🇸🦋🌻

    Cattle panels, 🍅 clips and t-posts for your 🍅 . Speaking from experience they work amazing

    They are a yellow finch. They eat massive amounts of black oil sunflower seeds. We keep bird feeders for them, however, if the feeders run out.....the sunflowers are next.

    I find that tomato cages work great for large pepper plants. The best support I've tried for tomatoes is the cattle panel. It works great! Thanks for sharing your beautiful, lush garden and homesteading experience ! I'm loving your videos!

    We stake in at the end of each row with a t post and run baling string in from one end to the other back crest crossing around each plant and pole it’s been a life saver in holding up tomatoes plants They reach up to 6-7 feet tall.just a helpful tip for next year.

  • @victoriajohnson3034

    I make round tomatoes cages out of bendable cattle/pig woven wire panels. Tough enough.

    I like the brandywine tomatoes too, this year I tried empire tomatoes, they're really good producers, disease resistant, and mature early.
    Have you heard of them?
    This is a busy time of the year for gardening, but our efforts are rewarded,Thank the Lord for His blessings.
    Thanks Friends and have a Good Evening 🙂.

    We had a monsoon summer last year and the water just about washed away our garden, including our tomatoes. So this year we used metal fence posts to tie them up to. It's working so far.

    I figure by the end of this summer us city folk will be going without eggs, the supply will be sparce. Same for buying chicken that is real and clean. God will give you wisdom on just what you should plan out for your flock. I can only dream of what one of those would look like and taste like. Yum yum yum.😊

  • @jvin248
    @jvin248 Год назад +1

    One of the business concepts is don't look at sunk cost to keep you locked into a certain plan, like keeping the huge chicken wagon. Pivot to having one then two and so on as you can build and need the smaller J Rhoads/etc style coops. There are quite a few new improvements on those smaller moving coops by other channels. I like the A-frame ones with tarp roofs and flip down wheels plus chicken bumpers inside and externally accessed nesting boxes. Take a look. You can get a couple weeks of content on building and testing.

    @MimsysGarden Год назад +2

    Hey Andy, I use cattle panels & a couple t posts for tomato trellises. You can use your cotton twine or hay twine or whatever to tie them up to it. For indeterminates , I will even use 8’ t posts and just raise the panel up a foot or so up off the ground for extra height.

    park the coop over the top of a tarp. the tires would hold the ends down to collect the manure.

    Can you put weed fabric( which hopefully wont kill the grass because of air flow) or a tarp ( which probably will kill the grass lol) underneath. Those things should last a long while to catch the mature.

  • @teresawebster3498
    @teresawebster3498 Год назад

    Could you use a small tarp and when you move the coop, pick up the tarp to collect the droppings?? Maybe use a large trash can to transport it to where you need it, or a tractor.

    I run a Florida weave on my 2 100' rows and it has served me well. I work at a steel mill and use rebar for my post. But I also grow the maters and just let them lay on the ground in another area. But do know what you mean about those cages. Take care

    This is probably not the correct video to add this comment to, but the apple tree you lost suddenly was probably due to a vole eating the tap root to build a home underneath. I has the same happen with a gopher.

  • @creative1877

    Is there enough room under the floor of the chicken mobile and the ground to build a sort of shelf the length and width of the mobile while still giving the chickens enough room to hide under from hawks. I was wondering if you could collect the poop on a tarp set on the shelf you create. Every day or two (depending on how often and how much the chickens poop) you could slide the tarp out and add the collection to your compost pile.
    Whenever you get discouraged just remember why Jesus is into extreme couponing
    Cause Jesus saves
    May God bless you and keep you
