Thank you for the great tips on gardening! I can't wait to get started!! ! God bless y'all!
Everyone prayers for the kneedyhomesteader
Great job! From a fellow south Mississippian!
Love the simplicity! 💚 Mims
Great information !!! Thats what I do too ! I just ordered me some elderberry cuttings . I was going to put them in a bed, but after listening to you I will put them in the natural earth !! I am so glad you talked about that !! THANKS !! God bless you and your family !!!xo
Interesting I've never heard of using cardboard. Thank you Colby. God bless
👍👍
Just a bit of my opinion, I used to back in the day I cleaned out chicken houses. I used it as fertilizer but I put it by itself for a year to let tha amonia to settle down. Just a FYI
Why didn't you put into a already made bed?
Do you think Aiden will farm after he is done with school?
Another great video! So helpful… I'm taking off work next couple of days to prepare my garden for planting. Hope the cardboard helps with the weeds we have here in NE FL . Now all I need is a helper like Aiden and some chicken fertilizer. That's next on my wish list! Chickens 🙏🌻
This makes me happy to see others start the planting process & what a better way to do it in SHORTS🤣🪴🥰🥰
Can't wait to see the garden in bloom! Dad and son working 💪 together ❤
Thanks Colby, going to try this for our NO-Till Bed
I use cardboard also, two layers!
Thank you Colby and Aiden for the demonstration and information! 😊😊
Okay, I took a break from social media this winter. More time with the family and our year old homestead. I was catching up watching (actually listening while cooking dinner) to The Stivers and see the episode where y’all stopped in for a visit. So I’ll be watching /listening 😉 to your channel. You had me at “Christ first” in your opening video. I homeschool my 7year old grandson as well while my husband of 27 years( HS sweetheart) Is a police office in a small town in southern Oklahoma. I’m excited to add you to my daily homestead videos. We haven’t had cable in years so YouTube is my entertainment ☺️ Anyway, love the southern accent, have one myself, love your beautiful farm and cannot wait to learn something new from y’all. God bless.
I just got some more cardboard to put down for another bed! I’m hoping that the elderberry cuttings that I planted, just a couple of weeks before the arctic freeze 😆, are going to be ok 😜
I'm propagating some elderberry, too. Can't wait til it's ready to plant. I like the no-till garden method. I watched a video of Ruth Stout last night. She's no longer with us, but I think she was probably the first, or one of the first people who ever thought of that. She was quite a character. 🙂
Great video. This will work perfect in the back year. God bless
I'm right next door in Alabama, so I completely understand the crazy weather!
