Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
Always look forward to Friday ShopTalk with you 3 guys. I follow each of your channels and love all of them.
The conversation is natural and flowing these days. Like a professional podcast.
Ben talking about Mo having to get his ladies to lie down had me laughing thinking back to when I was preschool age and my "hotdog dog" Oscar was trying to get the neighbor's Saint Bernard Ms. Beatrice to "give him a piggyback ride." I told my folks how funny it was and the neighbor, who was not at all amused. (AKC show dog) Those were some strange puppies with hairy jowly dachshund bodies and littermates that were long-legged, sleek-haired, and sharp-faced mini bernards 50-75lbs as adults. They turned out to be so cute people wanted to buy them and the neighbor would afterward invite Oscar to come over to play now and then. 😉
It's good to see if one of you has a question or problem you have guys to ask and get trusted advice.
Yay! It’s Al, Ben and Jason!
Otherwise known as...the White Mountain boy and the two Cali-Tarheel dudes...😂🤣🙃🙂👍👍👍
turkey chicks especially are fragile for sure. I like what "just a few acres" does and only water availble for first 3 hours then give food. He said it has made huge difference in mortality.
Pete and Hilarie at “Just a Few Acres Farm” are great teachers on all of their farm animals. I’ve been watching them for a long time.
I believe you have to run a sprinkler on the trees to save them from the frost. It’s the continuous forming of ice that keeps the plant from freezing. Thermo dynamics. Hope this helps someone.
Al... I suggest bringing the chickens in .. even for a short time, so you can see how it all works and find any glitches, or things that need to be re-thought.
Hai Ben Al. Jason greetings from the Neherlands 😘👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🇳🇱
Good morning guys ☕️ happy Friday 😎👍
Good morning!
I always look forward to my 3 bearded homestead guys.
WOW Guys, Episode 38!! I remember when you were back at episode 20!! Congrats!!! I always look forward to Friday Shop Talk!!
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera with gimbal, wide-angle lens, and wireless mic works fantastically for my vlogging needs!👍🏾🤩🐶
Our brains are on the same frequency! I've always said, never buy on the first day. So I saw a great deal and went home to think about it. I, went back the next day and the deal was gone. 😢 Now I ask my wife. 😊
Jason... I had no idea just how involved erecting a fence could be until I watched Jason down at Cog Hill. "Pulling Fence" . It's a real science. Just be glad you're not doing your fence when it's 120 degrees.
I look forward to your podcast every week. I literally just got done listening to last week's because this wasn't uploaded yet...lol!
Thanks for listening
Good morning, good to see you fellas
You should use fabric to cover your trees to protect them from frost, plastic hold the cold
Hi, Al, Ben, and Jason! Always good to see y’all interacting!
Love this channel and each of your other channels. i listen when i do chores, garden, clean , build ect.
Sounds great!
Don't use plastic! Buy old sheets at the thrift store or at the auctions you go to. It is how I protect my tropicals when they pop up a bit too early or early blooming goodies from frost!
Thanks for another one
Your podcast should be called: Three City Slickers Learning to Farm or Three City Slickers and a Tractor.
My prediction is one more cold blast right before Mother's day. Such an odd winter we've all had. I don't dare plant much in the garden yet, in case I need to cover in a panic. Fingers crossed. 😊. Great talk, as always!
You have all lived such different lives from the norm. We have too. We sold up everything and moved halfway around the world. That was over 50 years ago. I enjoy listening to your adventures and your dreams. 💕💕🌻🌻🌻
Driving to cricket I got 34mins of podcast listening in, I’ll get the rest done later on. Thanks again. Hard drive crash is so relatable!!
The best protection against losing an external hard drive to failure (and its data) is a RAID 5 array. There's quite a few options from the big names in the market, but essentially it splits up the data across multiple drives with redundancy, meaning if one drive fails you still can access the data and after replacing the failed drive restore the redundancy again to it.
Poor Ben! This is why you back-up to at least 2 destinations.
Using a NAS is also a good move. I use TrueNAS Core and build out machines with 5 hard drives used for data. The array configuration I use will survive the loss of 2 of the hard drives without losing any actual data. This gives you an opportunity to replace a failed drive without real impact (other than the cost of a new drive and a couple hours' work).
I use 2 TrueNAS machines for my data - a primary and a backup. They are both in the same building (not ideal), but it's better than nothing. Once I get around to having a detached garage put up at my place, I'll move one of them out to it.
Take care and God Bless.
It’s about Buggy, Meghan and the new baby! But your answer didn’t surprise me. Jason, I see you’re ready for the new piggy babies and covering the greenhouse. Wonderful! 👏👏Al, that barn looks amazing. All the neighbors animals are going to want to live with you and Gina. 😂 Jason, travel Scotland. There is no more beautiful green than Scotland. 58 years later, I can still see it when I close my eyes! 😢😮
Ben get back on the horse and get going don't let the changes get the best of you:)
It is such a pleasure to watch and listen to the three shepherd's. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and wisdom
At Al; you are in the honeymoon phase with Brutus. Just wait ;-)
Scotland is beautiful❣️
Great podcast! You guys should do podcast on how, and your journey into homesteading. Your travel cross country and trials and tribulations.
Thanks again
We have talked about that before on previous episodes. Thanks
@Homesteadshoptalk I'll search it out, love the podcast, just the guys talking about their week!!
Great show today, guys!
We bought 15 acres and run an organic plant nursery on 4 of it, have orchards (fruit, nut and berries) on 2 acres but in different parts of the property, have large shelter belts surrounding each layer of the land.
This property had one old orchard on it originally but we have put micro orchards everywhere and are replacing the older/dying trees on site.
Each orchard gets different fruit set as they all have their own microclimates.
We honestly have about 120 standard fruit trees, about 80 nut trees, 10 avocado trees, at least 60 odd berry bushes and canes.
Because of the uncertainty of fruitset around our house I have set up 18 dwarf fruit trees (peach, pear, nectarine, apricot) and 30 odd citrus, 12 banana plants, papaya, pawpaw, grapes, kiwifruit, passionfruit ...
We do get frosts but our climate is mild, even though we are a cool mountain zone.
We live 20 minutes from a ski field but also 20 minutes from the beach.
There's 8 acres for animals but in reality it ends up being six as the 2 acres over the river, we cannot get stock there easily so we are going to reforest it, with native trees as that appeals to my heart.
We have a river, a swamp, a winter stream, we are running our own business and we are slowly getting ourselves into community sufficiency, you know where we all get sufficient in something and swap/trade/exchange for that we cannot do.
Husband relief milks to pay the mortgage and to bring us home milk to make cheese and butter.
One day we will have house cows but man we got a delapidated property we are refencing, replacing and rebuilding sheds, shade houses, tunnel houses, gotta resort the water supply ...
But looking back on how far we have come in the last 3ish years, we will get my milking cows. And sheep. Maybe a couple of goats so my soap can have goats milk in it.
We do have beefies, we have chickens, turkeys and kunekunes to keep the grass low in the big orchard.
This lifestyle is big, its busy and its full.
Sometimes its disheartening.
Especially as we started it at 48 and 49.
But, we want it, we are learning, we are getting there, adapting, failing, fixing, failing, learning quickly.
All that to say, we are all here learning alongside you all and we see you.
Thanks for always keeping it real and not hiding the hard parts.
We always use smudge pots for our fruit trees and frost.
Backup device hooked to your computer. But you know that.
you three make excellent videos for fans all over the world.
Bison burgers are really great!
fall back is seriously easier for me, But I feed the animals the same time no matter what, so I have to change what time I'm feeding them according to my stupid clock , they dont see a stupid clock, they know what time they eat whatever some dumb clock says.
it's a good idea to take actual pictures and when digging for lines, etc making sure to capture these updates. we have our place mapped out on graph paper and add items to it as we add them to the place. For example the underground wiring to a building.
Don’t use plastic for covering plants! Anything fabric is ok. Hope your trees did ok
I do a year of Jubilee every 7 years! Minimal gardening, travel just a couple weeks a month! Our next jubilee is the year my husband retires! I love the homestead but definitely look forward to the jubilee! Thanks guys great video as always! 😉
Hey Guys Happy TGIF !!!!
I like this Time as far as Daylight..but I don’t like the sun NOT coming up till like 730ish AM…,
But either way I have been super busy..
Today is Actually my Relaxing Day ..we suppose to get rain for 3 days…but not yet so far ..
Are ya get plenty? 🌧️
Wow Jason you’ve got nice hair
You’re so right Jason, it’s so hard for men to remember. 😅😂
I'm ready for time change !love your time change!
Hello guys, back in the day when I took the A.I. course from Select Sires, it was a three day course and I had a 98% conception rate for 3 years before I got out of the dairy industry. I don’t regret taking the course or having that experience under my belt. This was many years ago when my children were in elementary school. If I remember correctly, it was only around $125 for the course. I believe that the money spent is well worth the effort
Man I just love this podcast. Keep up the great work fellas 👍
Love hearing about your life on your homesteads. Daily life and projects. But all the rain does make your Daily life slow up. Keep up the v
Ben and Jason have a TYM dealer by them. Rural Kings tractors are TYM, with RK stickers on them.
I never miss you guys podcast. i like it because it's real! i hope.you all keep up this series, and I never miss your videos! I was wondering Ben whats the price range of your green house, and where did you get it!
Thanks Guys .
You guys need to wrap your camera’s in bubble wrap lol!😊
You should call it the poo Palace💓💓💓💓👀👀👀
Have you ever heard that plastic is not to be used to cover plastic to protect from frost?
stay safe 🙏🙏❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am so far behind in watching your podcasts guys! I don't know if I'll ever got caught up. I'm finally watching this when it's already Spring! It sounds like you really enjoyed the SRI Equipment Festival Al. I can understand you wanting to look for a tractor Jason. I think Ben is happy he has a tractor. Body bag trees! Too bad some of the trees didn't do well in places Ben. Weather is a problem for all of us just like you guys. Cool, cellar space. Root cellar under the house? That would be great and free up some space in the house for living by having food storage downstairs. I'm glad the building inspector is a nice guy. Yup, the animals coming into the barn at Al & Gina's place won't have to be there very long until it's time for them to come back out. Mud season! I bet you guys have lots of camera problems. Too bad about the hard drive that croaked on you Jason! I like hearing the peepers at night. Too bad you have dogs visiting your property Jason. I'm glad you've got a lot of your fence up. I'm so glad your friend Mike is helping you. It has to be hard to manage all the breeding of the pigs on the homesteads. Moe for Moe'r pigs! I hope your IPPs work out for you Al. I hope the AI takes for Azalea Al. Too bad it didn't work for you Ben. Meat birds on the homestead Jason and layer chicks. There's a lady near me that says to give the chicks scrambled eggs when they are little to help them stay alive. I bought a Chicklift because of you Jason. Yes, it's hard to get away from the farm to do a film "shoot" at the Chicklift factory/farm in Texas. Thanks for this podcast guys! I finally got through it!
I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!
Delaware has. Some nice beaches but most of the State has chickens. They even have a chicken processing plant.
Backup Backup. It is like one post falls down goes the fence
From what i have seen living in Kansas, and visiting Michigan, there is an opportunity for organic farms. When we visited our daughter in Michigan, there was an organic farm on every curve it seemed. It's not like what I have experienced here in Kansas.
I'm with Ben on the whole Jonas Marcinko fly train. I bought my self a flightpack(Pedals,Throttle,Flightstick), and msfs2020, and flying on my pc, much cheaper than real life! 🤣 👍
I used to hail cat counter weights by the semi load to Chicago, IL and put them on the train.
You each have very unique tools on each of your homesteads, and I am wondering if each of you could list your top three favorite tools that you use the most. I think everyone would love to hear what tools you find most valuable.
We did do a podcast on that already. Thanks
Frost again 3/19
Would love to hear about Repairing and Renovating properties. Building Coops. Tools. Blue collar stuff. Not white collar Gen Z tech
My aunt always kept chickens and turkeys separate. She said the turkeys would die with chickens. She raised them years ago and she is no longer living so I can’t ask her anything.
Al I agree we are still waiting for the big dump.
Elevator music. :)
Meg could fix any such problem....just sayin'....
I wish I could travel…,
My middle child is my world traveler started out in college. He did Poland for six weeks and study abroad but before that he was loving to travel and now his passport has it will be a history. He’ll be able to keep that passport and he’s been everywhere he’s been Europe in Paris. Cancun Ecuador, all around the states here in Florida New Orleans so many times in Vegas Utah backyard in Denver really nice all around. He loves to travel and him and his wife have one child and they’re gonna get her to as well. 🌎
Great as usual.
Catfish love chicken livers❤
Enjoyed the podcast
Yeah I need my extra hour of sleep. Fall back for me
I get up at 4 am every morning
awesome as usual hugssss
Good one guys.
Not liver. Give them hard boiled eggs, grit and they need it warmer than chicks
Great video y'all
❤❤❤❤❤
Ben, how are you going to seal the block walls for your basement?
Backups are your friend and cheap compared to the alternatives
Don’t know if I might have missed this, but I’m interested to know about what injuries you all have experienced over the years. Either you or family members.
Well Ben you will have two boys in a few yrs that you will be able to do stuff like that because they will be old enough to take care of it when you are gone and Jason I would fly it would be less boring because I know it’s flat from Tennessee and on
With the Rain you get will you need to put a french drain in the cellar? or ? You're on an incline so thinking it might be a good place for a cellar. Walk out?
What are the pros and cons of putting your life online ?😕
Hard drive PTSD. What brand hard drive and what interface on it?
Webster City lowa,
Have you tried giving the turkeys a dust bath?
I watched a video about a gut who raised "exotic" birds, and they all died - for no obvious reason.
Just wondering if mites might have killed your turkeys.
