Hi folks, I’m sharing tips, tricks, lessons learned regarding permaculture, gardening, mini-homesteading, and raising small animals (chickens, rabbits, goats and bees) at 40 N latitude from northern Colorado.
I’d also like to connect and learn from other people who are interested in similar things.
Hope you enjoy some of these videos!

Bunnies and BULLSNAKES!!
I’ve been wondering where all the bunny nests were this summer, I finally found one but with only 4 babies (which should have been a sign of trouble). Finally discovered the culprit- a huge bullsnake cleaning out the rabbit nest!!!

Using heavy mulch for weed control!!
zhlédnutí 139Před měsícem
I’m am all about the mulch for weed control. If you lay the mulch on thick, it will deprive the weeds of sunlight. Adding a layer of cardboard on top of the soil is also helpful to suppress weeds. All of this material ends up just composting in place over time, improving soil health.

In this video I inoculate my garden bed with Wine Cap mushroom sawdust spawn. I’m hoping for a mushroom harvest in the fall. I will follow up if these establish and I get a harvest.

Spring Splits Part 2
zhlédnutí 92Před 3 měsíci
In this video I check the splits for fresh eggs and add a frame of fresh eggs to any split without freshly laid eggs (indicating a queenless split). The queenless splits will turn the freshly laid eggs into queen cells and rear a new queen. Typically I would do this after 3 or 4 days. In this situation, due to weather (spring snow), it’s been 11 days. Both splits still have good numbers and cap...

Filming them competing for fresh fodder... great idea. You're a shitty owner. Rabbits are intelligent, affectionate animals.
Very funny.
Follow-up: I opened up the nest tote today and found one last live bunny- aka ‘lucky’. I also found a larger dead bunny, assuming the snake killed it, but it was too large to eat it. So hopefully Lucky will be much larger and more mobile by the time Mr. Bullsnake is hungry again. I really should of relocated him yesterday. I just like big bullsnakes. Going to need to tighten up the rabbit hutch!!
Rabbit, rabbits are❤
May 5 - 11 days later I checked the splits. One split and two beautiful queen cells but the other didn’t not have evidence of a queen cell, so I added another frame of fresh eggs
Such a great video!!! WOW!!!
Given them more greens then that for all those poor babys
Los amo a todos esos bebes❤

Yours is a realistic setup for me! Love it! I am just starting out with meat rabbits. I picked up my first three a couple days ago, a buck and two does! I have been trying to decide between cages and colony, I live offgrid and in the interior of BC, lots of predators. Seeing your setup makes me realize that I can do a similar setup and the rabbits won't freeze in our winters.
In Part 2 - we will make sure each queenless split gets a frame of freshly laid eggs (0-2 days old). A queenless colony, presented with freshly laid eggs will start building queen cells so that they can rear a new queen

So sad but thanks for sharing this information for those of us that are just getting started or thinking about getting started.
Last year we had 4 does and 12 babies all pinned up together at night with no issues. When they are a few weeks old it probably won’t be a problem, but right now they are still only 10 days old
👍for goats, love goats.
They’re gorgeous!!! Atta girl Chloe!
Way to go Gabby girl!! Such a good momma!!
Rabbits are very intelligent and caring animals. Do not harm them, and learn more from Rabbit Societies.

You did a great job building the rabbit hutch.
Love your set up❤
I used to raise rabbits, rabbit manure is garden gold ! No need to compost it, just put it where you need it!
Permaculture can save us from the WEF and those rascally souless global elitist . Keep doing what you do. Thumbs up. Way up.
Im interested in seeing your goat enclosure. Did you make it yourself?
I did make it. I’ll put a short vid together on that and share it soon! Thanks for asking
