Breaking Ground on the New Garden | Starting Over from Scratch
Рет қаралды 329,485
15 күн бұрынWe begin the long and arduous task of starting our new garden. We prep the ground, gather compost and start sifting the native soil with our homemade screen. It may still be a long time before we can get plants in the ground but like the saying goes, good things don't come easy. Moose fencing and building the future greenhouse are still on the agenda.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Rosemary. The lovely scent of rosemary pulls double duty: It welcomes pollinators, but is off-putting to mosquitoes. Lavender produces a strong and pleasant aroma that mosquitoes find repulsive.
@beckypincalifornia1985 13 күн бұрын
I completely agree! May be able to plant in moveable garden beds and over-winter in shop or warmer space. I've done a bit of time in jungles in Central and South America. The rangers used to carry or set up torches to fend off the mosquitos ... using some sort of resin or sap. Maybe you can contact Alaska master gardeners or public health authorities to see if they have suggestions.

He died not long after. So few marriages today combine the energy and love for each other like you two. God Bless you both.

I really enjoy the whole garden process. Creating the garden foundation (soil) and infrastructure (hothouse) is so integral to its success. I chuckled when Ariel referred to the day's 56F temperature as a heatwave. 55F is the highest temperature that I've experienced in Costa Rica these past 14 years. Your soil screen is ingenious. My 1975 & 1976 were spent working on the construction of a coal powered generation plant in Boardman, Oregon. I worked in a testing lab doing quality control on construction materials for the project, which included soil analysis. We encountered soils from fine clays to 3-4 man boulders for reservoir dam faces. Our screens (sieves) openings varied from 200 per inch to 3 feet square, which were openings cut into sheets of plywood. Thanks for bringing back those interesting days.

Funny story from many, many years ago. Back in the early 1970s, my great aunt visited us when we moved into our new house and were working on developing the backyard. This was in the San Francisco East Bay and our soil was just nothing but rock hard clay. We had hundreds of 50 pound bags labelled "Steer Manure." My great aunt, who was about 70 at the time looked at the bags in confusion and said, "How do they know it's steer? Do they follow them around and collect it specifically?" Yeah, a lifelong farmer.... I remember my parents nearly losing it laughing, and then taking here out to the San Joaquin Valley to see multiple thousand plus head of steer herds run by the Harris Ranch.

I got a mosquito catcher from Lowes several years ago. Its run with propane, it works great. You put it out soon as you see the first mosquito out, and they love it so they go to it and get trapped, they dont lay their eggs then. It cuts down on mosquitos more and more each year. I couldnt handle it with out it. I have ducks and they love the mosquitos so many dont make it to the catcher. But they love it when we empty it. Love your videos.

I had that happen to me once it was at a pool once and it was two parents with their two kids and they took a photo of me and proceeded to take video and said to their girls you don’t want to be fat like her someday do you? She shouldn’t be allowed in public looking like that. I told them I may be fat but I can do something about it but unfortunately rude and ignorant people don’t have any hope of changing they are jerks and always will be. I told their girls I had had an accident and had gained all my weight after it during my recovery phase but I had already lost 60lbs and I was proud of it so my skin may be sagging at my upper arms and thighs but I had a nice respectable bathing suit on with the skirt down to my knees and I wanted to enjoy the pool with my kids rather then sitting on the sidelines. I told them I have a very big heart and I see others through their actions not by how “pretty or thin” they may be on the outside I also told them that I think people are mean like that because they need to eat something because they are basically starving. They both laughed at that. I told them all this out of ear shot of their parents. So I hoped they would tell their mother what I had said. Unfortunately there are just obnoxious rude people in this world. Im glad this video gave you some relief from thinking about it but please don’t let their rudeness ruin whatever you want to accomplish!! I say go for it you can do anything you set your mind to do!!!🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦

I filled it with a shovels of dirt, gave it a few shakes, ,dumped the the weeds in a big pile and spread the dirt. The trees, bushes, and perennials in this garden have grown like crazy.

I am from Texas, so we have our fair share of these little blood suckers, but I will say, your skeeter's take the cake. Our mosquitos are not as massed as y'all are, yall are like little gangs trolling around waiting for its next victim. lol I will say, I did love visiting Alaska.

Y'all grab some of those vinyl tablecloths with the flannel (ish) backing the next supply run. Staple them to the wall behind the roost. Almost as good as the linoleum on the floor!

I love that you work as a team and you make most of whatever you’re working on. So many KZfaq videos but most of whatever they are working on and then call themselves self-sufficient

You can build a torch on wheels that can burn a swatch several feet wide, and torch the weeds and seeds really effectively. This will allow you to leave most of the top soil in place. It's an effective weed control. As you rotate the crops during the season you torch again to kill emerges. Over a season or two you'll have most weed pressure eliminated.

Fox are raising pups this time of year and definitely will be smart enough to take chickens during the day. Free ranging chickens are an easy free meal to come back for again and again to feed their growing family. Clearing brush won’t keep them from the easy meal opportunities free ranging chickens offer. Love the new garden and I can’t wait to see all the gardening success!

Yaay, I am so excited for this new garden and all you can grow here. The dirt looks so healthy, when you opened the plastic to reveal the seedlings my heart skipped a little. xx

Your garden is going to me massive compared to the old one. When I was a kid my dad made a sifter from 2" wire grid that he formed into a barrel shape. He made two of these, one fitting inside the other. The outside was stationary and the inside revolved to move the packed dirt through the sieves. A motor was attached to the inside sieve to turn it. There were rims, probably from oil barrels, that were on both ends of the 'barrel' with wheels between them at the rim so the inside could move freely. If I ever have a garden, I would definitely try and make one of these.

Hi from the southern hemisphere. NON-TOXIC - MOSQUITO REPELLENT & SOOTHER RECIPE. In New Zealand a mum made a safe insect repellent/soother oil for her children. Using essential oils with a sweet almond base. It’s called ‘Goodbye Sandfly’, but it works on other blood sucking insects. When I can’t get to NZ (I spend most of my year in Australia)I make my own using, either sweet almond oil base or liquid coconut oil. So usually with about 125ml of the base oil I add an 1/8th of a teaspoon of each of the following essential oils; Manuka, lemongrass, lavender, pine, tea tree, eucalyptus, and camomile. I adjust some of the oils, if I find the mosquitoes are a bit more voracious. After a good shake I put it into small squeeze bottles and/or spray bottles. You can use it on your face, scalp, and everywhere else as it’s water soluble, I also rub some on clothes, hats etc. Some of the essential oils are repellents, others are soothers for the bites.
