which variety / cultivar is this pineapple guava?
@practicalorganicliving 2 күн бұрын
Coolidge variety. The nursery recommended this one for our climate-there are a lot of varieties but it’s important to choose what grows well in your garden!

Thanks for the video suggestion! We'll put it on our list of videos to make,. In short, it's holding up great and we use it regularly! :)

Black Cherry is definitely best left until it's quite deep purple color I think, you can definitely pick them when they're that maroon sort of color too though. I usually just throw them in the bowl and they're pretty deep purple within a few days

i heard that raja puri is extremely hard to get i ordered one from online but may not be a true raja
@practicalorganicliving 17 күн бұрын
Hope it turns out to be a true raja! It’s a very common banana in the world and in our area because of its cold hardiness

Was windeeing qhat do you use for your run floor? And how thick do you have to fill it up to? How often it need to be cleared/cleaned/replaced? It rains quite a bit here so researching best way to avoid it being muddy. Your video is amazing as im considering investing in the eglu cube in the future

Love watching your journey with the chickens. The omlet is having a sale right now and i am considering one. I didnt see a video of cleaning the run. The new pro coop has the option to open the fence underneath. The cube doesn't have that option. How hard or easy is it to undo the fence from underneath the coop to sweep up debris? Thanks in advance!
@practicalorganicliving Ай бұрын
It’s harder to clean underneath the coop and you also need room to move so we think it’s inconvenient. But it’s definitely a nice option for the model to have that option! We’ll try to get to a video on cleaning the room this fall. Thanks for the request!!

Great review! Maybe it had an effect on the company as they've introduced a new large model that addresses some of your concerns. Just goes to show what happens when informed consumers hold these companies' feet to the fire. This now puts the Eglu at the top of my list (so far) in my preparation to purchase chickens next Spring. Also, I had not thought about the hole spacing of the wire enclosure. Here in Germany mice-r-us! Hardwire cloth would be mandatory. I used it on my diy coop when I was living in the American south, where the biggest concern was snakes, and it worked very well. Again, many thanks, and keep us updated.

So true! Raising chicks is the way to go if you want tamer chickens. That bond is important and makes having backyard chickens so much more enjoyable. :) And that's a great tip with the milk crates.
