Never though of using the sunflower in the three sisters system. I have mine growing along the fence line flanked by comfrey, plenty of straw to hold water and morning dew, it's helping with the limited rainfall. But I am going to three sister the corn as it grows higher, late start this year, but for two months I'm happy with the results. Have to start somewhere. Looks great, awesome video. Another idea added to the play list for the future plantings. God Bless from TN

Great educational video. Thank you.

3 things that have the biggest impact on egg production is breed, feed and light, I just bought 60 day old chicks last week and posted a video on my channel, it will be a while before I can post egg production on them. But I have been watch all your videos on Biochar as I want to grow some of my own chicken feed for the scratch yard, Maize sunflowers, peas and beans.

Do you use the tea as is or do you dilute it before applying to your soil?

Awesome planning!

Well done!

I’m definitely trying this next season another genius idea❤❤ everything looks so beautiful and healthy

I need to try companion planting. Great tips!

Thanks for sharing. Very informative.

Caffeinated chickens! We love using our chickens to compost almost every waste product from our kitchen, garden, and yard. We have started throwing charcoal into their coop with the straw they live on. It’s done an awesome job at keeping any smells down and we have pulled quite a bit out to use as a fertilized mulch around our garden.

I like how your mind works.

We used to watch this growing up. What a lot of people don’t understand is that the movement is left over energy in the nerves.

Great video awesome shirt. The main take away I got was I need to plant more of it. LOL I have a group of it planted so far but with all I have planned for the future. I'm thinking of Jaws..... I'm going to need a bigger boat. Would you be doing a future video with the entire life cycle from plant to harvest to propagation of the crowns and roots? God Bless from TN

I grew up in a rural area of Germany. When I was a child, it was common that each winter a pig was butchered for our families meat supply. In most cases quite similar to what you show so professionally here. But in the early 80s even my parents started to buy their meat at the supermarket. Once more tradition and knowledge got lost forever. Thanks for sharing, great job, greetings from Germany

I saw a guy on Polish youtube making biochar in an earth pit and then quenching it with water once it was done but before it cooled down. Do you think it would also work in a retort? To quench the biochar as soon as it's done and hot to make it hydrophilic asap?

👍🏻👍🏻

Never thought of using the grill brush, so simple but brilliant.

How long do you leave greens out in the compost for chicken to feed on? Would it go bad after sometime and what would you do in that case?

Maybe mix you woodchip with your regular wood

In your opinion is there a prefered inoculating material that would give better biochar?

What do you do with your ash?

That was going to be a question I would have asked I am blown away with this idea, I too have an unlimted supply of timber off cuts. I could go into production of bio char as I also have acess to cow and chicken dung

Here is a question How many burns do you get out of a drum before you have to replace it?

I went back to the old school cheese grater, after loving being able to buy it grated. Go back to most natural ingredients. If you look at labels, you will see genetic modified ingredients in most all of processed foods.

When he said doing that kind of work is a dieing trade he is right. Myself I been in the business for about 30 years off and on can't find any good help nowadays

Styxhexenhammer grows with BioChar. He explains that unlike most fertilizer methods which are removed each year and re-planted, incorporating BioChar in to your soil will make it farmable for an entire lifetime. 30+ years if someone else lives on your property and grows, they'll swear you were a prior garden wizard or something. Furthermore: Even if you machine farm (big farm industry), an equivilant BioChar would last you 10 years, which is crazy considering all you need to do is buy wood, charcoal it, grind it up, then literally toss in to soil, compost, a little water (to hold on to ash), then mix it up and forget about it. The best part is it removes the need for you to turn to inorganic fertilizer Monsanto or spend on expensive "Nature's Harvest Fish Oil" fertilizer (which does a great job with huge yields, but the cost and use is ridiculous).

To get your root cuttings, do you have a separate place that you let go wild? And not dig up roots from your ornamental gardens? Great video thanks for sharing there eh!

Is this pretty drought tolerant?

How long did it taje to get monotized aftet the initial declined application? Did they ever give any useful info? Did you have ti change anything?

Great video! Thank you for posting.

My cuttings from you have all flourished. Even in the super hard clay soil. Keep up the great teaching content.

Thanks

Great video!

The cuttings and root stock I got from you a couple of months ago have taken off (wish I could post a picture here). I too planted them right next to an artichoke along with some bee balm, borage and dock. I did have to put up a short fence because the local groundhog was eating both the comfrey and the artichoke, but all have recovered. They are the anchors of my pollinator garden. Many thanks!

Just saw this. Question: would taking a wild white mulberry cutting now in June produce a root? Thanks.

Watching from Poland. Will try this back in Uganda. Thanks so much gentlemen

I am having a tough time with ants this year!!

Thank you, this is going to be so helpful!!

Thank you for sharing your video, but I still have so many questions! How far apart do you recommend spacing hybrid poplar or willow? I noticed a black water line? Do you need to continue to water even after they are established? [I am in Missouri we get hot dry summers, but fairly wet springs--] At what age do you pollard your trees? And I imagine you pollard when they are dormant? The one tree you pollarded at waist height- Do you have issue with deer pressure where you live or do they leave the poplar be? I am trying to find some information on the net or in a book-- to answer some of these questions [If there is a good book or resource please let me know!]. Ten years ago, I read about how in Europe they use pollarding and coppicing for livestock-- and I thought y e s! We have goats again and I have been gathering tree limbs and shrubs from what we have here on the property- and they LOVE it! But I would like to also get some hybrid willow, poplar and some mulberry set up on our farm as well. Thank you for your video[s] you came up in the search for tree hay-- but I also enjoyed your video on the mobile sheep tractor! Thinking about options for my goats! Blessings to you and yours!

Those corn stolks can also be used as Hay for livestock green or dried like trees hay . So really there three sources of hay right there for livestock. Hay Leaf hay and cornstalks

I'm digging this concept of augmenting our chicken's protein, and we have more than enough of fed well pigeons, yeeting a couple a week would "keep the wheels on the bus..." But I am not keen on attracting more flies to back yard. I'm going to try making one that traps the flies that come in. I am thinking of using a heat gun, to soften the lid, use a dowel to press, funnel like depressions, cool the plastic in that shape, then snip off end to allow entry and deter exits..... Thoughts? I will also add a wire mesh under the yeeted, to allow the squirmiest out, but the fliers get stuck. Just ideas. Hopefully by end of week I'll be able to give it a shot. Also might try adding a layer of charcoal under the yeeted- might cut down on smell- but the charcoal may "store" microbes, like biochar.

how do you think the bones compare to the char made from lets say, wood chips?

Great video. Not heard info on the charcoal. I do not know where I'd get saw dust, but I have unlimited & year round tree leaves & pine needles- so I use deep bedding which is helpful.

Most folks say not to use sawdust in the run because the fine particles can be breathed in and irritate their lungs. I'm a woodworker, and am inclined to agree. Your thoughts?

Dude! Great video. Also, I so rarely see black farmers. We need more :)

Is it possible to pass along “botulism”?

I don't know why we humans are so freaked out about decays. Decay is part of the cycle of life.

My question is, would the chickens get the same nutrition from directly eating the roadkill? This is not to be a smart mouth but is something I am wondering. I know that sometimes meat will develop a few maggots in the coup before they have eaten all the meat.

A couple of tips to keep the smell down. Don't put holes in the side of your bucket. When you're carcass is fully infested put some dry leaves or lawn clippings on top. Just like a composting toilet. It's not perfect but it helps a lot. I put crumpled chicken wire on the bottom to help stop the holes from blocking.

Mercy yeah I can imagine it smells a little bit. lol I rarely have any meat to put in my bugs but there's so many larva in the large bin it doesn't last long enough to get to the smelly part. Chicken poo and coffee makes up the bulk of what they eat. The circle of life brother.... :)
