Learning The Hard Way First 

Congrats on getting sponsored. I'm sure you'll get more. Your channel is informative & entertaining & growing by the day.

Zack is so fortunate. Doing what he enjoys and having such a BEAUTIFUL lady in his life.

Hi Jo I'm a dairy farmer and I fill my raised beds with ordinary soil combined with cow manure and used bedding. It is inexpensive and supplies the plants with plenty of natural fertilizer. I remember you borrowed a tractor from a local dairy farmer to push snow - maybe than can supply what you need

Love that guys found each other!! Love to watch each interact!!

Good Morning to both of you!! A radio is a good addition for the tractor to pass all the time that you spend in the tractor.

Love how you shared your snack with the pooches! I always let my dog get a bite of what I eat 😋 For cleaning that dust and derbis off the sprinkler, use a little brush with stiff bristles, a metal brush if you got one. Even a hard toothbrush will be easier than picking at it with a screwdriver. I don't farm, but I have cleaned off dirt plenty of times 🤣

Plant nurseries in my area (Norman, OK) have mulch that you can buy. The closest one has 6-8 different varieties-cedar, pine, etc. It’s generally loaded by a front-end loader and priced per bucket. But that type of business may have to be near sizable population centers.

My raised beds are 4' wide - can reach the middle from each side. They are not very tall (takes a lot of material to fill them - I think higher beds only of benefit for a bad back / disabled) - just enough to help with drainage (heavy clay here). Consider thickness of the surround - thick railway sleepers look nice, good to sit on,. but they take up a lot of the actual bed. My paths are the narrowest that I can get a wheelbarrow down (maximise space for crops). All my beds are identical size, so that my crop rotation can use any bed and not have to adapt for various different sized beds. That makes it all look rather industrial, but my vegetable garden isn't for show - I have a separate ornamental garden for the pretty stuff :)

Pivots and parts lead a tough life in mud and moisture! Nice setup for servicing, saving pain later!

Here is something that I learned to do with the raised garden beds. Depending on how tall your garden bed is, instead of filling it all with soil. Start out with firewood and leaves. As these items break down, they supply nutritional value for your soil and plants/produce. You also won't have to pay for that much more soil if you need to buy it.

Congrats!! AG 1. You've arrived!! All the big content creators get sponsored by them. Seriously, JUST LOVE your content. Thank you!!

For a raised bed we used a container for parts from a cat dealer. One was about four feet wide and eight feet long. I put garden fabric on the bottom and used bagged top soil. Worked very well

I think one of the main reasons why I watch your shorts is I love your choice in music. And I come from Farmers stock you know what hard work is

Although there are hardships, every day seems to be fun.I love their conversation😊

Always enjoy your videos thank you for putting them out

Raised bed fill: I ran a large community garden for many years. Here's some suggestions. A load of top soil and another of compost makes a fairly decent blend. Cow manure is a great supplement. Here's a couple of sources you may not have thought about. Coffee shops may give you their used coffee grounds. That makes an excellent balancing additive for soil health. The second is that your local high school probably has an agriculture program complete with barns for cattle and sheep. The kids clean the stalls and dump the old hay and manure in large dumpsters. Check with the school and see if you might be able to take a pickup load or two for free. Here's the catch with that, you can end up with weeds. We would take black garbage bags and fill them, lightly close the top, and let them stew in the sun for a few weeks. This will help kill out the weed seeds. Make sure they can vent a little or really exciting things can happen that your local fire department won't appreciate. (Ummm, yeah....) Hopefully this will kickstart your efforts. ~Many blessings!

Thanks for sharing how you service the sprinklers. A lot of work. So glad I grew up where we did not have to use sprinklers, just depended on the good Lord to supply rain. Keep us up to date on the new things arriving soon.

*_You are a awesome mom for your pets !_* *_ I'd love to see a video of you guys off the farm having fun_* *_Love your channel_* ❤❤

I had been thinking doing raised beds I our garden. Then I got the bright idea to use empty range supplement tubs. I drilled several 1/2” holes in the bottom so they could drain enough to prevent rotting roots.

I’m one of your new viewer’s. So lots of videos to watch 😁 on some of your videos you ask “ do i talk to much? “ no , talk more you have a pleasant voice , love your content keep it up❤

Isn't it interesting how animals stay close to kind souls? Zack and Jojo have quite a following

Good morning Jojo/ Zack. Clearly lots of maintenance to keep the sprinklers in shape. With 87 pumps of that small grease bucket and other farming routines no need for a gym. Thanks. Have a great day!

0:27 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂stop it 😂😂😂😂😂😂.. .lol. y'all are great

Hey! Congratulations on your sponsorship so well deserved. Your channel is so wonderful and so many obviously enjoy watching your lives. Keep it up please.

U 2 are a great example for all to see,always keeping it real,and putting what need be over what want to be ✌ ❤😊🙏 to the 2 of u and all the 4 legged in your tribe !

You have a fun channel Jojo, it's very enjoyable watching!! 💜

you can put logs and sticks in the bottom to fill the beds and that will break down in time and save some on soil 🙂

Get garden mix if you can. It’s -20c here in Alberta Ca. I need spring so bad , winter sucks

For the thyroid you need to eat seaweed. Seaweed has natural iodine. Most people get their iodine from salt. That's synthetic iodine. AVOID! Start eating real, natural iodine for your thyroid! Kelp, dulse and nori are my favorites. I've been eating seaweed every day for 32 years.

Buy a cheap tool bag and put the tools 🛠️ together for the sprinkler drive work. Mark it with the paint you mark the drives with. 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻

Good morning, a few of my neighbors have been using tree rounds to fill the bottom of their raised beds.

For your raised beds, first line the bottom with cardboard, then fill the bottom third with sticks, logs, branches, twigs, etc. to prevent you having to fill it with expensive topsoil. Then, buy your dirt from a reputable dealer. They may try to sell you dirt that has pesticides and herbicides. Ask if you can take a sample to your county extension agent for testing. If it has herbicides, it may take as long as five years to degrade enough to not kill your veggies! If the soil is good, for each wheelbarrow of dirt, add two shovels full of sand, two of Perlite and two of peat moss. Then, after your beds are full, add 1/2" of good compost into the top two inches and plant your seeds and seedlings. You should not have to add any fertilizer for the entire growing season. For your tomatoes, though, add a bit of calcium to prevent blossom end rot.

My wife and I farm not to far from you guys down in Meade Ks. We took empty 2.5 jugs that were washed really well and threw in the bottom of the raised beds to take up space and that worked pretty well.

Love both you guys you have way to much fun

Well done on the advertising ! Kudos & Well Wishes from Texas !!

Many people in my area use old railroad ties. Unless they are already half rotten they last 10+ years.. If you make them longer and higher than the thickness and the length of the ties make sure you put an upright at the joint . If you do stack them you may want to reinforce them by putting a piece of rebar through them. Normally 2 per piece is enough, this ties them together. You can do that on the bottom layer to anchor it in the ground. This way they want get kicked around. . Make those longer than the others for better stability. I would suggest 15-18 inches. If you decide to do that, drill the hole slightly smaller than the rebar. By doing this it will act like a big nail going into a piece of wood. May not be the cheapest way initially but it probably will be in the long term. This sounds like a lot of work but like any job once set up it doesn't take that long. One of the down side is they're heavy and something you can't handle by yourself. On the upside once built you're not going to have to deal with it again anytime soon.

My Kathleen and I did this for a neighbor, 11 circles. She hated it. It was a windy, cold spring.

Fill your raised beds with dried feedlot manure. You should be able to find a farmer in your area that would let you have some for the taking. You won’t have any herbicides in the soil and it’ll be fertile enough that you won’t need fertilizer for a year or two.

Way cool. You have a metal lathe in your tool shop. I am in the tool and die career here in Pennsylvania

On my little farm I was asked about if I was planning on doing raised beds. The answer was 'no'. I thought about it, but...I just didn't see a big advantage in it. Since I'm not going that way. I can subdivide as needed. When you do raised beds, you are kind of casting the size of each one in stone, so to speak.

Congratulations on the new sponsor, you two did an excellent job explaining Healthy benefits. Of this product.😊

Great you got a sponsor. I love your content and it brightens my day. The shots of the empty land and sky are beautiful (not to mention yourself).

Do you have all valley pivotes on the farm. I worked for them for 20 years and if they were bought before 2019 I probably made alot of the angel iron on them. I worked at the plant in valley ne. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you. Tom from Nebraska

Those Wagyu Jalapeno cranberry snacks are great!

Hey Sqir'l, great promo for AG1. Most often times I skip through sponsor bits as they are boring as hell, but you guys made this one fun and interesting. Sassy really needs the HUGE snow-goggle/sunglasses as they really suit his sasquatch face(huge amount of insane giggles). As I have come to expect from you guys this whole vlog was informative and fun. LUv you byeeee

Seward county waste management in liberal sells compost in bulk. Was like $20/ton 5 plus years ago when I did mine.

Another great video from our happy farmers

You both doing great Job ,Your videos are very helping, informative for me to Learn to Speak English,Lots of love from India , I would like to work with both in the farm 😊😊😊

Thanks for taking us along Jojo! I don't think a city girl could have this much fun, but I am suspicious you only bumped your head once. How many #CityGirls does it take to fill a tractor gearbox with a bucket of oil? While I wait for that answer, I now know it takes a bigger compressor to keep up with this #FarmGirl.

Being a hill guy these pivots always fascinated me. We had to just wait for rain. Thanks for the video. I am getting a better understanding of how they work. Are all of your pivots the assume size? How many acres do the cover?

You both work great together wow outstanding

My parents did tall raised beds, filled the bottom with big branches and then cardboard.

As a graduate of the school of Hard Knocks,You appreciate it More

Big respect!👍👍👍👍👍

Just say love following you , but for safety add an normal light bulb over the lathe to help prevent a stroboscopic effect , didn't realise how long your sprinklers are

Those glasses will be perfect for riding your, 4 wheeler or if you get your bike running.

🦦 I love that snuggy music 🐬

Y'all are great at video editing....😊

Hey guys, enjoying your vids for a while now and just want to ask how the sprinklers are powered. Being stock farmer in Scotland we don’t have kit like that. Some of the potato and veg growers do use irrigators but are totally different from yours.

Always smiling.

*😮 I should be austin Texas...GOOD..*

I love this girl ❤

why don you make fenders for the sprayers? less UV light would give the tires way more life

FELICITACIONES AMIGOS ESTAN SUPER CHEVERE

Energy drinks are THE WORST for you!!! You’ve done the correct thing Zack!!

Those sun glasses get eany bigger going to need pilot cars ha nice

That's hard work. Cats🐈🐈or more fun. Great video 👍

I like your husband’s commentary lol

Very interesting. The cat seems to think Jojo is her mother.

That is one big assed cat.

How many sprinklers on the farm?

Excellent video, it is always a pleasure to be able to say hello lo you Jojo👋☺️👋😊👏👏👏

Athletic Greens: Endorsed by Zachs from Minnesota to Kansas!

Wow!!! How many acres do you farm?

Hi from Maine. Dave from Maine

I love that windshield glasses 😂❤

*good..*

Great video again. Have a great day and God Bless!!

Do you drain the water out of the gear box and have you thought about using grease in the gear boxes we did a couple pivots two years ago so far so good

My lord girl Sure you needed safety glass but good God lolol

Awesome video, thanks for sharing ❤

I hope you saw my comments on pesticides. I know it would be hard for you to change the way you do business but I'm telling you... there is no choice. If you want to stay healthy, you cannot spray pesticides. And synthetic fertilizers too!

Your going to get this old man all educated 😂👍

cool shades (and a healthy cat at opening)

😊😊😊

Hey beautiful and so gorgeous jojo snow a nother awesome videos on your channel alot so beautiful farm girl keep making awesome videos

How many pivots do you folks run?

That's great

Linda Jojo.😊😊😊❤

Не купайся в холодной воде, разве что летом, зимою баньку парь, купание в холодной воде в холодное время года, это онкология😢❤

Those are dark wow

Those sunglasses are perfect for grinding metal. 😂

Who owns this farm how meney people work it only see you two

Todo lo regáis por pívot ??

I’m new here. Who is Zack to you ?

Can a person use film filled tires on a pivot?
