Happy growing!
I am here for LennyTv. He’s precious
Love watching the fur baby have such a great time! They really get the zoomies when the weather cools done they.
I've been investigating raising chickens and I must say your program is the most natural, practical and cost effective method on RUclips. I had pieced together the basic concept of using compost to feed the chickens from watching other channels and consolidating the various ideas, perhaps breeding Black Soldier flies as well . . . Then discovering you have been doing for it five years. Using worms instead of breeding larvae. Good to go, thank you for the effort you are putting into educating those that are interested.
I'm a chicken addict and I've watched dozens of different channels and Edible Acres is by miles the healthiest and most inspirational for me.
So happy to share and really glad you find it of value!
I’m interested in seeing how the kitties integrate Lenny’s skill set into their work.
I take an angle grinder to mine at least once a year to keep it screaming sharp because it enables you to cleanly cut roots near the end of each plunge into the root zone. Makes digging trees more pleasurable! Your channel/content are tops in my book. Preciate what you do! Cheers from Kentucky!
Ahhh… puppies (and the doggos they grow into are so precious)! Enjoy!!
Thanks, we will :)
lenny rocks! Just like you guys❤
I have one of these... absolute workhorse of a tool. I call it "my grandchildren's shovel/spade" because, when I eventually have grandchildren, it'll still be around WORKING! Great video as always.
The tall narrow shovel is great for digging and then getting to the bottom of a charcoal cone pit. Rustoleum red primer will treat, cure, and stop the rust. I wait for exceptions and wire brush, file, emery cloth, and retreat. Some day they may get painted but I have not found anyone in the area doing the same. That means the color is an identifier... belongs to Burke. Cheers. You are a good mentor.
Good note here... To be honest I like the look when they are worn in. It is superficial at most with the discoloration, so I'd imagine untreated these tools may last 50-100 years!
Awww. Lenny is adorable!
I just found your channel today. Lenny is absolutely a hoot! How old is he?
This past gardening season I was dealing with post-covid syndrome with intense weakness. I couldn't handle a normal shovel, but found a version of the king of spades in the barn. My hubby calls it a sod shovel. I could handle this "baby" shovel. It was great. I tried shoveling some dirt with it last week and realized it was time to upgrade to a regular shovel for the job. I had enough strength now to use one. However, my little shovel still works for other tasks. Now I know that it works for seedlings! Awesome. Thanks.
Well I’m going to chime in and say, KOS makes some great tools. The one you have there, is excellent, I have to say after using one for years that I prefer the almost the exact same tool but with the rubber handle. Much easier on my wrist and shoulder when having to “throw” the tool into the earth when chopping a root.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. If you read this, please post a link to the tool you prefer so folks can have more options.
@@edibleacres it’s been I’m going to say 10 years since I bought mine, I believe this is it. The one I listed does show the rubber handle.
New Lenny fan here. Thats one happy pouch.
He is a wonderous pouch and pooch!
LOVE Lenny & his purely magical puppy energy!
Two of my three favorite tools are things you recommended a few years ago that I got from AML: a long-handled King of Spades and the bright orange poly scoop-fork. (My third fave is an oscillating/stirrup hoe). I have it on my list to dig horseradish this weekend and the King of Spades is the perfect tool for getting down to cut the root as deep as I can. Thanks for occasionally pointing these things out!
King of Spades is an incredibly functional root digging tool for sure
Lov'n Lenny Fan! Thanks for including digging burdock root! What a horrible thing to dig! Hopefully this tool is exactly what I need! Thank you for your work and providing excellent information. Hope you're no bleeding! Blessings 🥰
Bought my king of spades shovel after Sean recommended it on a phone call maybe a year ago. Love it, and use it almost every week. Great tool.
I love the joy and energy Lenny has given you. My Pearl would love to have a play date :)
He needs some puppy friends, we'll work on that soon enough
I have my dad's spade that he used for decades in his garden. Still working strong, but I think I will invest in a second one to keep around. Love Lenny! We should all enjoy life like that, lol!
I also love my small spade - so well loved that I've just broken the handle after years of service - will have to try and repair!! Thanks Sean!!
I don't think it is really possible to break the handle on this, without a huge machine or a cutting tool.
On my wishlist. First found out about it on a previous video of yours.
Worthwhile tool for sure
Good info on the shovels and very enjoyable seeing new life on the farm, look like a very good choice, he is learning fast... lol lol
Cheers
He's starting to learn :)
My tool for digging up bushes and plants is the the D handle 40" 4 prong spade fork. Ive had this tool many years and ideal for digging up whatever is needed and wont hurt the roots, does an excellent job.
What beautiful soil you are building 😍
Thank you so much 😊
AM Leonard also sells an all-steel spade which I bought because I found this one a bit too pricey--but the price for the AM Leo version was about $80, comparable to what you paid for yours lo these many years ago. Might be a good choice for the budget-conscious consumer, I've been very satisfied. Feels like there's nothing the spade can't do, and I'll probably be picking up a few more AM Leo implements to round out my collection.
Thanks for sharing this note. I invested in one of the AM Leo types to see what the difference is... Haven't used it yet.
Thank you! I have lots of 6 plus foot tall trees I need to redesign for! I planted the trees last year and want to do as minimal damage as possible. Awesome tips!!!
what a cute puppy, great video too
Great info and entertainment!
I've got stuck with Lemmy, the ace of spades from the first second and got so confused when it was about Lenny and the king of spades.
It's a whole new game.
Ok, Lenny and Chicken TV. I’m over hooked on this channel 😊 What’s Lenny looking at?
Sasha could start a channel “It’s All About Lenny” … everything Lenny is doing with weird Monty Python skits occurring in the background… or gardening 😅
Thanks for all the great advice. It's on my Christmas list :}
one of my favorite types of content! thanks so much.
Glad to know. We've got a bunch of other tools we'll share as time allows
thanks so much for this reco! i was able to pick one up this past spring after you mentioned it. it's so well made and incredible for this kind of work. also LOVE lenny TV :)
So glad you like it!
You were not kidding about it not being cheap. Most are about $125-$165, but I saw one over $200.
My dog hates the water and has never dug a hole that I know of.
We got ours originally for around $80. I guess the prices have gone up a lot, yikes. Look for used or open box on ebay!
Lucky pup
Aweee Lenny is so cute.
Cute pup🎶
happy pup! :)
Lenny is such a ball of joyful energy. Do you know his breed? He may help to keep rabbits at bay abit more eventually too.
I'm wondering if you could give a update on how the wood heating has evolved? Love all the helpful videos. Thanks
We'll plan for that this winter
Lenny's a Hoot
If I had to guess, I'd say that some of Lenny's ancestors must be dachshunds and labradors 😊
Hey Sean, I wasn't aware that you should soak trees after digging them out of the ground and prior to transplanting. Do you also soak trees prior to planting once they've gone dormant? How long do you soak them?
I don't think it is something that is exactly critical, but a really good baseline practice... Digging trees? Have a bucket full of water... Planting? Have a bucket of water to move them in!
💛💛💛
Lenny!!!
word of the day is dirvish ! go Lenny LOL
Lenny!
King of Spades & Dog of Assistance. :)
Thanks for sharing. Are crab apples a good candidate to propagate in an air prune box? Aka milkctate
That should work well
A coal shovel might be even better if you can find one. More chicken tv please.
Neat idea. We'll do chicken TV soon!
When it comes to good tools you only get what you pay for
I wish I had puppy energy!
👍
👍👏👏👏❤
When did you guys et Lenny? Or is that your neighbors?
About 3 weeks ago now. He's a real joy (although we're working out the dynamics with the cats :)
Lenny zoomies!!! 💞
These dogs are definitely zoomie oriented :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Lenny!
How much for the dog?
NFS :)
Lenny TV❤
He's really fun
Is Lenny part hot dog?
Just a part. Part seal as well
Everyone who believes and calls on the name of Jesus shall have his sins forgiven, for He is God who took human form and offered Himself as a sacrifice. Watch for the imminent appearance of Satan on earth, where he will pretend to be Jesus. Jesus was eating at Simon's house (Simon was a leper whom Jesus had healed) a few days before His crucifixion when a woman arrived with a box of priceless ointment and anointed Him with the entire box. The disciples thought the woman was crazy because she could have sold the ointment and given the money to the poor. She had anointed Him for burial, Jesus revealed to them, and He commanded that what she had done be reported so that she would be remembered wherever the gospel was told. Jesus died for the eternal forgiveness of your sins. Beware Satan who will soon appear claiming to be Jesus. Just before Jesus was killed, he was eating and a woman came and anointed him with a box full of expensive ointment, the disciples complained because it was very expensive stuff. Jesus explained to everyone that she had anointed him for his burial.
