@5:32 Shucking the beans one at a time like that is very inefficient. The best method is to use wind to separate the beans from the pods like they did in anchient times. You want to hand crush the pods in a bucket and all the heavy beans will fall to the bottom of the bucket. (The beans fully dried are hard and will not crush or get damaged by hand crushing) Next you plug in a box fan and turn it to the highest setting Place a box or something on the ground to catch the beans Hold the bucket of beans and bean pod chaff above the fan and let everything fall down into the box below. The fan will blow away the empty bean pods and chaff and the beans will collect in the box
Another great video! Regarding rabbits, can they dig holes to get to your plants? Second, does the net diffuse the sunlight, especially for the strawberries? Would it be better to lay a wired mesh for more sunlight? Thanks!
it's a great question - a quick google search will provide many answers that explain. Here's one: Rainfall contributes to a soil's acidity. Water (H₂O) combines with carbon dioxide (CO₂) to form a weak acid - carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). The weak acid ionizes, releasing hydrogen (H⁺) and bicarbonate (HCO₃). The released hydrogen ions replace the calcium ions held by soil colloids, causing the soil to become acidic.
Roaches hate catnip. I have a plant that isn't doing very well. I want to plant it all around the house outside. I know it will attract stray cats, but that is ok.
I was just cleaning out my water tank. I used a long dead tree sapling (sheoak) and spun it around to collect clumps of algae like spaghetti. Came here to see what to do with it all! Great video
" ...yes, you can grow thornless blackberries in pots, they will rock your world there." Thank you kind sir, I need my world rocked and now I know just how to get it done 😁
You can shorten the canes anytime once the fall has come. It'll be many months (where we live) before those new canes will start to produce. Once the leaves are off would be a great time.
Here is my recipe, and it works. 2 gallon sprayer to deliver. 1/2 cup of orange oil 1/4 cup dawn 1/4 cup of borax acid well dissolved in water. It works on ants, crickets, aphids, and the ants that eat the dead bugs. It doesn’t work on pill bugs (folly Polly’s) Works well on cabbage, kale, and anything plagued by butterfly larvae. I give monarch butterflies a break, but the white ones get the treatment. Safe, topical, little residual (just the boric acid). Effective, and you can leave out the boric acid powder
@@SustainableStace Green Gobbler Cold Pressed Concentrated Orange Oil for Home and Outdoor Multi-Purpose Cleaning- Hundreds of Uses - 32 oz (... Purchased through Amazon. And I said 1/2 cup for a 2 gallon sprayer, topped with water or as little as 1/4 cup in a 2 gallon sprayer of water. Just water everything down and then follow with the sprayer. Please let me know if you try it and if it works for you. I was spraying around the garden this weekend. I don’t try to eliminate everything, I just keep things in check. I watered and several praying mantises move out in the open, I spray around but stay away from them and the spiders. A huge colony of ants climbed the garden wall and they took some spraying and they were gone, but sure to return someday.
I do that for my trees and my body because insect and worms and mites are coming out from my skin we got it from our tree when we tream them before and tiny mites and worms are coming out thank you so much 🙏
I spray all surfaces of the tree which have bark. Anyplace where overwintering pests may be hiding - the most likely places are the oldest, most creased/wrinkly bark on the main trunk.
Two suggestions: 1. first - trim it back and then surround the whole plant with dead leaves (insulation) and almost bury in them. If however, your area gets too cold for overwinter outdoors . . . 2. If it's not too big - try digging it up and putting it into a large pot inside a garage or covered area.
just planted my first one last year and I'm getting huge juicy berries this year. Thanks for all this information on propagation and pruning. Can I dig up and transplant my first bush from last year to a sunnier locatio?
Thank you for the information! Curious how cold your barn gets and how cold potatoes can get? I know they aren't suppose to freeze and fear my barn get too cold for them, would a garage or base basement room work?
Thank you so much for this explanation. I bought one of these two years ago and was wondering why I was only getting fruit on last year's growth. This year it really took off so I expect quite a harvest next season!!
Tried sunchokes for the first time this year. Most in the ground and some in a bag. Stalks are now in August starting to show decline. After watching your video, think I will harvest the grow bag in Sept-Oct and the rest as needed into winter. Live in NC. Great video. Gets me excited. BTW anyone have favorite ways to eat these? I’m intimidated by everyone saying they are gassy. Is that just the fiber? If so, fiber is my friend and gladly welcome it. Raw or cooked best for nutritional value?
