In my City, deer walk down the sidewalks like humans and are unafraid of dogs. Your suggestions seem like a lot of work that can clutter a small urban area. I love your portable electric fence idea - Thank you.
Ok the beginning had me but you divert into electric wire and you say it's affordable? Not for a renter no Lost me at at hat point I'll read the comments and learn some from them.
Just so you know, and I believe I say this in the video, you dont need to use the electric fencing on the outside. The point is the double fencing. ☺ You could easily use the same mesh fencing for both the inside and outside. We did the electric fencing because we will use that solar energizer in the future. (Plus we wanted as much protection as possible since we do not live at the location of our garden) Some people do metal fencing for both fences. We rent too and are by no means wealthy, but at that time we were able to make that investment. I hope this helps, but more than that I hope that you find a way to protect your garden that works best for you! (And is as cheap as possible ☺)
Great helpful video Hannah… that’s awesome you have an apple tree in a bucket .. is it a dwarf variety? Tried apples years ago but no success… never saw that nylon fencing before. Wish I’d known of that years ago before I struggled with cattle panel … your garden looks beautiful.. God bless ❤️
They are dwarfs! I got the dwarfs because I’m pretty short and I knew a standard would mean a ladder for me 😂 I think I need to up the bucket size again, but they’re doing good considering! Although I’m fighting cedar rust and some other fungi on them. Fruit is tough! The nylon is certainly convenient although I think it would do better if I put for t posts for support! I hate to sacrifice a plant space for a post! Haha
Great question! This is our first year using them! We have used other sticks that last for years, so I would think these would too! I’m guessing if any of it is under the ground that would quicken up any rotting. We have some really thick ones and I think they will last years!
my cantaloupe are also stunted. =( some people say that it will lead to bitterness, i don't know if it's true i guess the only way to know is wait and see
We're in our second year of woodchuck gardening and are thrilled. It is easy underfoot, keep weeds down and no more muddy boots. Underneath its breaking down and has lots of micillium growing underneath.
Great information Hannah!! I had my plants die one year because the compost I had delivered was too hot … I had it tested by the Extention department… learned a lot from that. And you are right about herbicides….. I’ve seen Roots and Refuge and Cosmopolitan Cornbread lose gardens because of that. I like how you do just for fun planting… I do too 😂!! Tried planting those cute decorative little pumpkins that I got last fall in straw bales and they grew and are taking over one part of the yard !! Your strawberries look real nice with the potatoes peeking through. Have a blessed weekend ❤️🙏
Sometimes the random fun plantings are the most vigorous! 😂 I’m sorry you dealt with hot compost, it’s discouraging when you put in the work and then you run into issues! Enjoy your weekend 🤗
Good morning Hannah… I just had to share this with you … I harvested the one cardboard box of Kroger organic potatoes I let go to seed potatoes… planted them whole in March. The harvest is terrific!!!!!!! And the soil is full of worms so Iam going to plant tomatoes in it !!!!! Thought you might like to know the success of planting in cardboard boxes!!!! Have a blessed week ♥️
That is so cool! I love it and glad you shared it with me. I love learning about the different ways to grow, there is so much to try! So glad you got a great harvest, what a blessing! ☺️
Hey Hannah …. So happy you have a great garden pest and weed protection for your hard work ! Praying one day soon you can have your own yard to garden in … while on the road today I passed an apartment complex and got a smile at the buckets someone is growing in on their small area !! I thought of you at your rental…. Can’t stop us gardeners !!! God bless ❤️
Very helpful information. I'll be using your method to keep out ground hogs! I've already purchased the Dewitt fabric. Had planned to use it between the rows but will now cover the whole garden. Thank you!
Hey Hannah… I was just wondering yesterday about you as I hadn’t seen a video for awhile. So glad you are well and your garden looks great!!! I too had a bit of a delay in starting my garden but as you said our Lord blesses us and mine is coming along too. I planted potatoes in cardboard boxes with leaves .. wood chips and a little dirt and worm castings never did that before but saw it on an organic farm video… they are doing great !!! I planted some green beans too but always get the best production and flavor when I replant for the fall harvest… less bug pressure too. God bless and happy gardening ♥️
I’m always so happy to see your sweet comments! I love the potato planting idea! I hope you get tons. I’m going to have to try green beans in the fall, that’s a great idea. I’m glad you were able to get your garden in too. Besides business, the weather was being pretty challenging near planting time! God bless you! ☺️
I live in Maine, plenty deer in our neighborhood. This simple fishing line fence works perfectly in our raised bed and it’s easy to weed or pick veggies through it. Lasts all season, too.
This is one of the best "frugal grocery" videos I've seen (and I've watched many). I basically do everything you mentioned in the vid! 😊 Do you freeze butter and block cheese? If butter or cheese go on sale, I always buy extra and freeze it. I stopped buying shredded or pre-sliced cheese because it's more expensive AND goes bad a lot faster than block cheese.
Thank you! I have frozen butter, but haven’t done cheese yet! Thank you for the tip! I wasn’t sure if I could freeze it, but now I will! Does it do anything to the texture? ☺️
@@glorialiving I've noticed that my cheddar blocks seem to crumble a bit more easily if I freeze, thaw, then cut -- but absolutely no change to flavor or melt properties when cooking. Frozen then thawed mozzarella blocks seem to be same as never frozen. PS -- I don't freeze soft cheeses because I've read they don't turn out well after freezing.
By soft cheeses, I mean things like brie, or soft, wet mozzarella, or ricotta, etc. Mozzarella blocks are softer than cheddar, but still do well in the freezer. I think any block cheese with the same basic consistency would do fine.
Squirrels: challenge accepted! 😂. But really, thanks for the video. I will try this next season. Our only mango fruit was stolen by squirrels.😤 Look forward to a follow-up video of how it goes.
My orchard is in it's second year so not much fruit yet. Our dogs and barn cats keep the squirrels away. I may try some of that mesh on my tomato plants though. Bugs seem to get those the most. Neat strawberry buckets. :) Thanks for the video.
Hi Dear, I saw your RU-vid channel video and understood that Very nice video. You have 1.24K subscribers but videos are not more watched and subscribers because your video is not SEO. I have analyzed and realized that your RU-vid channel is not progressing and improving. It is responsible for: 1. Channel videos are not properly SEO 2. Videos are not reaching the people 2. There is no rank tag in the Video 3. Video SEO score is 00 out of 100 but SEO score should be 90+ to rank video 5. Channels tags not good quality 6. No video tag and other technical problems Do you want all the problems solved? I can help you.
Just be aware that cooked meats in the freezer do not have as long of a shelf life as raw meat in the freezer. I only learned that last year. But I do like the convenience of batch cooking and freezing.
I usually cook 2 whole chickens in the instant pot on Sunday. That is good for a few meals during the week. The food saver is a good tool when buying in bulk as well. Your seedlings looked ready to be planted. :) Good talk. Thank you
Great tips!! I try to buy our ground hamburger in bulk at Sam's! Can you link the container you use for your rice and pasta? I need a good rice container!
Great video! I'm planting tomatoes for the first time this year, and although I have heard most terms before, your video was very helpful. It helped me structure all the information in my head, thanks!
Thank you! They are food grade. ☺️ those smaller ones I get from Walmart’s bakery section! They’re used, but they sell them really cheap! The bigger ones are a mix from Walmart or from local restaurants that give them away ☺️
