    One of the reasons I have always enjoyed your videos is you show a good cross section of your regional growing conditions from soil to weather and what it takes to keep things growing. It's good to see what others realistically deal with when growing, both the good and the bad, life is about learning from others of the same mind no matter the subject, everyone has something to contribute, you just have to be willing to listen.

    Lots of good information available in your videos Joey. The camera work and commentary are first class IMO. I’m barely starting to work on/tinker with my Farmall’s. I had an outstanding day on one tractor. I was able to do a repair that made me feel like a hero. When I bought this home/property it came with approximately 400 feet of aluminum irrigation sections and a trash can full of heads. The pump is super heavy electric with pickup out of the river. As dry as parts of the lawn is it might be time to sort that stuff out. Probably get busted for using river water with my luck. Lol. That was 38 years ago, and it had set unused for 10-15 years before. Thanks for being so down to earth Joey. Good luck with your bible studies.

Everything has held it's own so far but we really were needing this for our corn to make and for our peas to come up that I planted over a week ago! We've been getting plenty of squash ( 4-kinds ) and okra. God is good either way and his timing is always perfect! He always knows what we need....we just have to trust Him!

    I think you're talking about the bar type "oscillating sprinkler". I have good luck with those too because I can control what I water better than the Rainbird type. It saves water and puts more where you want it. But I would recommend a soil test so you'll know which way you need to go as far as amendments. We haven't done one in 5 or 6 years ourselves, so we need to do another one too. Otherwise we might be going 180 degrees in the wrong direction. 😆Thanks for your time and efforts.

  • @Willkiser1
    @Willkiser1 Před 2 lety

    When you're cultivating your corn with straight shanks on the front beams like you're doing, particularly that close to the plant, you're pruning the roots that seek water in the balk of the row. You're too close to the plant. A better plan I believe is to use your rolling cultivators which in addition to destroying all weeds in a wide band on each side of your plants, they will both throw up dirt to the center (the corn), covering any weed growth between the plants that you're leaving now. Plus the hilled up or thrown up dirt covers the corn slightly higher and doesn't get close to the roots. The corn with the dirt around it is supported and more stable as it grows, making it less likely to topple in a wind. On veggies that you bend over to pick, if they've been hilled up with rolling cultivators, they'll be 4 inches higher and easier to pick.

    • @Jtwes
      @Jtwes  Před 2 lety

      Hey William
      Thanks for watching. I prefer to use my rolling cultivators, I was just showing what could be done without them. As far as close to the plant you could be right . I’ve seen some old timers say you need to move the plant around to make it grow . I don’t know? I don’t think it bothers them when there small but I wouldn’t run them that close when there bigger. Thanks for your comments I enjoy them. God Bless

    @TheDuckofDoom. Před 28 dny

    Speed makes all the difference on how much dirt gets thrown into the row.
    Are those rear sweeps supposed to have that much nose down angle?
    When I see them used on big field cultivators they are set to run very flat and shallow, just to cut the weeds off of their roots, and avoid mixing the soil. But that is in a place with dry growing seasons, where it is important to keep the dry soil on top to protect the damp soil from evaporation, and weeds mixed in are more likely to resprout, those on top dry out and die.
