How to Fertilize your Plants with Tea Bags
When my wife and I bought our house we live in the city and it had an old shed and I said what can we do with it, and instead of getting rid of it I decided to turn it into a chicken coop
Does it have to be a Ziploc bag?
Walking outside to do this now!
The cladding is a type of MESH
Is there somewhere you talk more about this?
Best to have wire over the top of the courtyard as well. We have hawks and buzzards. Big trouble.
Did you tincture the reishi fresh or dried?
Amazing video! If you guys want a few new places in SW Washington, 2 old cats are (slightly) less likely to be stranded than one!
I started growing sprouts recently and it's as easy as you showed. They're delicious!
Usually nesting boxes are outside the coop but still contained within the coop. This is a great video to make you think! Thank you.
really secure..... great...!
I'm doing it
Thank you for the tips much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
They are beautiful, when you planted them?
@holistic homestead life what brand is your roof rack?
Do all plants love all tea types? Are there any kind of tea which are not quite their cup of tea?
Thank you. My latest book involves a chicken, paramedic Chris and the runaway chicken
that's how the door is in our coop. it was made by previous owners
Glad you cut the bags open, most tea bags use plastic in the bags these days so better to bin them than throw them in the compost.
mmm. gud esso.
Can u add honey raw to kefir not to ferment but add for sweetness to drink i vought probiotics that has 11 types but i read kefir has 12 n per cup is trillion to 2 trillion i just wanna add stevia or raw honey but does fat free milk work
Yup! So for my husband, I actually add agave because it’s easier to mix in with frozen berries and sprinkle with some nuts or some kind of granola and he loves eating it as a snack for work You could certainly use honey or some other sweetener. You can make a berry syrup with Stevia or something in a jar, and then add that to your lefir for flavor, and sweetness. It’s also great in smoothies, lots of different ways of consuming it.:)
@Holistichomesteadlife thanks I have a probiotic maker it's a fabric u slip on a gallon of milk u add the starter pack close lid plug in the device wait 8 to 10 hours unplug it let gallon chill in fridge comes out yogurt thick n creamy
So the roots house the bacteria, but the nitrogen is definitely in the leaves. The plant uses the nitrogen as its made, it is not stored in the roots. The nitrogen is technically a byproduct (the poop of bacteria) and will eventually kill the bacteria if left there, in the same way alcohol will kill the yeast that made it eventually despite being a byproduct of the yeast. Only the bacteria is housed in nodes in the roots. This is also why using nitrogen fertilizer will kill of the good nitrogen fixing (pooping) bacteria.
You don't have use whole potatoes. ... cut where eyes are that's what makes potatoes
You are correct!:) i use whole because I get more potatoes per square foot in a raised bed. Since I don’t have standard walkways in between the plants, like if I was planting in the ground there’s usually a walkway between rows.. well since I don’t do that, Ive experimented and I get more plants from one seed potato that take over a larger area. The downside is if the soil is not fertile enough, you get a a lot of potato’s but they are smaller in size, mine is very rich so I get big ones and many of them. (Hope that makes sense) I’m limited on space so I want to encourage more shoots to come out of one seed potato . Alternative is to cut them and plant them 6-8 inches apart getting more in an area. Both worked the same for me so I’m just saving myself the trouble of the extra step.
Either direction? Me thinks more than 2 directions exist.
Haha well I’ve had people ask how far apart the rows are and that was my backward way of answering it lol
Great advice. Thank you
I am planning my chicken coop right now. The suggestion to clear the automatic door from the drop zone was very helpful.
Oh that is awesome! Yeah, it’s one of those things we didn’t really consider lol 😂 what it is a ⚠️ zone for sure! Haha
Hi i i hv seen your all vedios so beatiful. I saw this potato vedio i love it Hi if possible. Will you send one pitato i will send all charges whatever expenses Actually i hv small garden so i am following gardeners vedios If pissible pl try to send me one potato pl pl thank you
Thanks
I feel like now is too early to propose, but would you marry me?
Thank you 👍
You are welcome!
Brilliant ❤
Thank you! There are so many other cover crop ideas out there this one is just one that happened to work for me!:)
I would switch your 2x4 perches to the 4inch side up. They'll like it better and it keeps their feet warmer in the winter. I wouldn't place nesting boxes on the floor to help keep eggs cleaner. You should have kept the floor in the shed and just installed linoleum or Vinyl flooring. They like the top of the nesting box you have there bc their roost is uncomfortable. I also wouldn't keep that hay in there regardless if they don't poop on it or not. There is a lot of humidity and poop particles in there and it won't keep as well if it weren't surrounded by all that humidity, ammonia and poo. It can also attract rats to nest in there bc they eat the chicken feed.. and the hay makes great nesting.
Thank you!!!
❤❤
YOUR HAIR IS SOOOO PRETTY!❤️
Awe thank you! I started using less stuff in my hair, cut out as many chemicals as I could, and it started to grow! I realize that with hair skin everything sometimes less is more:)
This is so helpful! I want to get into owning chickens but had no idea what to do!
Oh, I’m excited for you! I am not an expert by any means, but I’ve had chickens for almost 10 years now, and it’s been such a fun adventure. There are so many good videos on CZcams about chicken keeping 101. If I have time, maybe I’ll make one of my own videos with just the basics. They say that chickens are the Gateway animal because they’re really easy to get the hang of:)) if you have any specific questions, feel free to comment them if you don’t find the answers anywhere else and if I happen to know, I’m happy to share the information!
Epic
"promosm" ☹️
Dang how did she know I was watching this right when the clock went from 11:59 am to noon?
what road are you on
You need to raise your roosting bars to be higher than your nesting boxes. The bottom roosting bar is too low chickens like to roost as high as they can get. So the bottom roosting bar looks like it is lower or even with the nesting box so that is probably why they perch there at night. Build them a ladder if you think they can't reach the top.

Beautiful potatoes
Thank you! I was very impressed as well!!
Red are my favorite. The red Pontiacs get really big, but you have to bury them deep when planting.
Did this make quality over quantity? I think I'd rather have a few bigger potatoes that a bushel of little ones.
Yes!! 100% the main thing that I wanted and that I got is bigger potatoes. As you can see in that video each plant averaged about that many normally. I have more footage that I didn’t turn into a shirt that I hope to compile and speed up so folks can see the other planet. Also: I felt that by mulching with straw and not over-mulching too much .. the plant focused all of its energy into the potatoes it started instead of trying to grow more new ones. The key is also to cover the seed potato with like an inch or half an inch of soil.. so the new potatoes that grow - end up right on top of it .. or barely in the ground. I’ve tried with seed potato on top of soil / Just in straw and that did not work great/ many rotted. So ensuring the seed potato is in the ground and barely covered is key. The other part - I think timing and variety can play a role. My russets did better in my first planting and so did my golds vs refs …This second one I did russets and reds and the reds outperformed the others . So timing plays a role for the verity and your climate.
So no matter how long they are in the freezer they wont go bad?
I probably wouldn’t keep them in there more than a year because things tend to sort of get frostbitten or just like with chicken or meat or anything else. It’s not as great after more than a year… depends on packaging, but yeah, I would not plan on storing them too long. Since I have chickens, I mainly do it when I need extra eggs for a few extra months and then the girls start laying again in the spring :)
Those look fantastic!! Great job
Thank you! I think I surprised myself!
🤗what a beautiful fox. nice job gaining trust.
Thank you! I was so impressed with how sweet the fox was! In hindsight the fox could’ve taken a bite out of my finger, but in the moment it was magical haha
Awesome thanks for the tip
You’re welcome!!:)
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! It was Golden hour, and somehow the sun manages to make all of the colors so much brighter!!:)) they truly are a beautiful, pinkish red variety
