Wilt can kill a goat...not sure of your sheep/lamb... In case one does die of?...needs to be dried
@Fourbrothersfarm27 күн бұрын
Explain “wilt”, you’re saying just a wilted plant? Appreciate the info - with as much foliage that falls from trees and wilts in the ground that they eat, it seems like this could be hard to avoid. Typically they are eating all of the branches we put in this feeder in under a day’s time, so should be safe.

@zapperbunny1Ай бұрын
I do. I have chickens and dogs, I never throw it away. I have 30 falling garbage cans in different parts of the yard that I throw sticks and leaves and cutting and then I throw the fresh dog poo in it. I drilled holes in the cans so worms crawl up inside and break everything down. The next spring on the top 3-4” has not been mulched by the worms, I dump it out, separate the mulch and throw the top layer back in. By far the easiest way with no turning. Fast mulch, no, but I have several cans going at once and I can dump and take the mulch anytime
@FourbrothersfarmАй бұрын
Very interesting, I had always heard dog poo was a no go, but that’s awesome it has worked for you!
@zapperbunny1Ай бұрын
@@Fourbrothersfarm it’s a no go if your dogs have illness or parasites. Mine get ivermectin and Panacure monthly, they could eat raw pork with no issues…but if I gave them pork it still would have spent at least a week in the freezer and an ivermectin beforehand.

@@Fourbrothersfarm I'm not an expert in pruning but I would say when they get to the height you want (similar to the ones in the shade) keep them that height and no more or perhaps prune even before they get to that height.

A bit of information from my experience its best and more efficient. To use a lawnmower with catch bag.but not use catch bag to mulch it all up breaking it down to the finest bits and pieces prior to placing in bin.
@FourbrothersfarmАй бұрын
We do that as well ☺️ great method. Occasionally some unmulched leaves will make their way into the pile but we try to bury them to accelerate the process. Smaller the better! I have even heard of some people putting kitchen scraps in the blender prior to adding them to pile, but I haven’t done that myself. Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate you!

That might not be steam you see coming from your manure pile. Mine has ASHES in it where the shavings and straw has actually smoldered. Don’t pile manure or compost near a building!🔥
@FourbrothersfarmАй бұрын
I've heard of that! With this particular pile only ever having reached about 140 degrees Fahrenheit, it would not be likely it smoldered, but it is definitely a possibility under certain conditions! This is why it is important to pay attention to carbon:nitrogen ratios. And you're right, never near a building! Thanks so much for watching :)
