Earning $$ With Compost & Pigs on Your Homestead
Рет қаралды 40,669
4 жыл бұрынHere is another farm update... Our pigs have done an amazing job at aerating the cattle's deep bedding and turning it into high quality compost. This stuff is very valuable and the pigs grow as they do the job.

That is some amazing compost! I don’t eat pork but that is enough to make me want to get pigs Regenerative agriculture! You are building soil! This is what farmers need to practice to improve the land. There is so much to learn and watching you implement so much of the stuff I have read about is amazing. Praying for you family and farm knowing that the father in Heaven is watching out for you and blessings you with the knowledge and desire for a better way.

Compost is an open buffet for all kinds of bugs and worms. The soil needs to be fed with Compost. Compost is eaten by the bugs which poop and pee in return and becomes food for the plants. Compost is very important.

What a wonderful video. Your boys are growing so quickly it seems. Such wonderful children. They’re so proud of themselves for feeding Lucky and being able to do it themselves. I wish all children had this opportunity. To have parents willing and patient to teach them as well as learning the importance of what they’re doing. So beautiful. I absolutely love what you’re doing and how you do it. Your positive attitude towards your viewers and encouragement is heartwarming and so genuine. Thank you so much for sharing your family and farm. God Bless you and yours. ~Lisa

How is your water system from the lake working out? Thank you for your channel. When I was younger we had a relatively large garden for the city. When we planted our tomato plants I would make a large hole. I shovel square and the mix half dirt and half compost. Those tomato plants were so much healthier and larger than just putting them in a small dirt hole.

My guess is that getting it out and hitching it to the tractor (or quad? can't exactly remember how the "chicken tractors" are moved) would be too much work for 3 times 12 m2 every day... 3mx4m= 12m2 is about as big as a very very small cabin on a ship, and it looked like the vacated spaces from the chickens weren't contiguos, so it is really 3 times small rectangles, not even one 36m2 (which is about the size of a large room) area.
