48 - Dismantling the Rock Sieve, Expanding the Veggie Garden & Cleaning the Farmhouse Facade!

Our trusty wooden rock sieve has done a great job cleaning up the dump site. We had to make a few repairs after our rooster tried to sneak under it to find worms, but this tool has been a huge help in transforming the area. It was already falling apart a bit since Philippe reused some of its screws to make a monitor stand, but now it’s time to take it apart completely. Now that Philippe knows this prototype works perfectly, he wants to make one out of metal, though he’ll need to practice some welding first. A metal sieve will last longer, and we’ll definitely need it for our future excavation and renovation projects.
While Philippe is taking it apart, I'm tilling the soil to prepare for planting more veggies. We're also setting up supports for the tomato plants and weeding between the potatoes. This week, we're also cleaning the facade of the old farmhouse with muriatic acid to remove the cement veil from the stones. We spray on the acid, let it sit for a while, and then rinse it off. The difference is amazing!
Unfortunately, later in the week, we all fell ill, thanks to a bug Odin brought back from daycare. So, we're taking it easy for the rest of the week to recover our strength.

Hope you're all feeling a lot better. You can use grass clippings as mulch around your veggies. That will also help retain some moisture in the heat.

@DomaineSauvage Месяц назад

I was thinking of doing the same with the weeds we pulled since they aren't seeding yet.

@happycamper4329 Месяц назад

@DomaineSauvage weeds better for compost, as the heat in compost will kill the seeds, otherwise you run risk of weed seeds germinating.

When you transplant tomatoes you can plant the stem several inches deeper than it grew and more roots grow from deeper stem and plant grows better and stronger. I love seeing your videos.

We didn't know but Anicia planted them deeper 😅

Here in B.C. We have huge slugs . They don’t like salt. Also I think an old dinner plate with some beer and they forget plants. A couple of ducks will really take care of the slugs and the eggs. Btw. Love the bird song in the morning. Odin’s return sure showed the love for his farm. Gorgeous countryside. Cheers. Safety glasses !

@DomaineSauvage Месяц назад

Thx Gus, I think Anicia is handling the slugs for now 😅 We let the chickens in the veg garden and they seem to not destroy our crops at the moment. Odin sure likes coming home but he does the same thing sometimes when we arrive at the daycare so that is good as well 🙏

@premmens Месяц назад

Eggs shells and sawdust are excellent in keeping slugs and snails away from your plants because they can't travel over them. also they are good for the garden as well, especially the eggshells. When you plant tomatoes you put half of the plant into the ground, they grow big and strong if you do.

@DomaineSauvage Месяц назад

Anicia actually put the tomatoes deeper but we didn't know that was a good thing to do 😅 someone else mentioned it as well! The egg shells and coffee ground seem to be working against the snails/slugs.

@JeanBarnard-ig7ee Месяц назад

@patricialutzenhiser3913 Месяц назад

A salt shaker in your pocket while weeding can be a great slug killer. A little sprinkle and no more slug! Earth friendly but deadly! Early morning and early evening was my best hunting hours😂. This in addition to the other two methods worked well for me. Hope this helps you 👍💓

@patricialutzenhiser3913 Месяц назад

Also Diatmasious earth spread in a ring around your tomatoes and cucumbers , peppers they will not cross it. It is ancient shells crushed. There is food grade and garden grade. Just keep thinking about what worked for me. Also beer in a shallow saucer works too. Best of luck getting those garden munchers gone😊

@DomaineSauvage Месяц назад

Haha Dirk you saw in the video goes hunting for slugs as well in the morning or evening. 😂 Anicia is using coffee grounds and grounded up eggshells and that is working for now i think.

Odin will make your immune systems stronger as he brings home all kinds of things as he grows and is around other kids! As a kindergarten teacher--and a mom of a now-grown daughter, I can speak from experience. Your garden looks great! The stones are looking wonderful, but wow! That is so much work to do it right, but you will not regret it all when it is done. It all inspires me to work on my house, yard and garden. Even though you don't know me (and the thousands of other subscribers, ) I feel like you are good friends and I look forward to hearing about your previous week's progress each Sunday. Hope you are all feeling better!!

I was so glad the screen worked for you. All the things you make will help you from now on. Diatomaceous earth which is ancient shells finely ground spread in a circle around your plants will kill the slugs. Also shallow plates with beer will kill them. All earth friendly.😉. You are an inspiration to many and your little Odin is so lucky to have you as parents. Cheering you on always.💓🐓🌻
