Last Notes npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Our garden beds are finally put together. This was a LOT OF WORK but very work while. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms We are trying to grow our own mushrooms in our garden. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Today we buried some spent mushroom blocks of Lions mane under a full bucket of ash wood chips. We will have to see what happens. I have heard that this can work. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms But it is sure worth it! npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms A view of our garden once the fincing is done. It works out to about 60ft by 90ft. Abour 85% of the 5400 square feet will be for annual veggies. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms We are adding a fence to our garden this year so that we are not growing our veggies for the ducks and turkeys. They will still be able to get the grasshoppers early without the garden at risk. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms We feed them to the chickens, and sell them to other pet owners. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Today we got water pumped into our pond. It is VERY nice to finally be able to irrigate again. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms I used a leaf mulcher, but I also hear you can just forse it through 1/4 inch hardware cloth by crusting it in with your feet. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Finally achieved my childhood dream life... Playing in the sand box with my best friends after bedtime. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Chickens always have their own ideas... I'm not even sure how they can get in and out of this feeder. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Its a 7HP princess auto brand. I dont even know the brand name... npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms My biochar journey started with "Guatumac Villa?" that teaches some lessons for Matt Powers' permaculture course. This led to a youtube/podcast binge. It ended at The Survival Podcast with @jackspirko npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Ten hours of burning ans we can finally begin quenching this #biochar npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms This was our result of running alfalfa and biochar through the leaf mulch in a 1:1 ratio. The Cow, Chickens and Ducks should LOVE this! #grownostr #animals #biochar npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms So you mean I should fill it up to start? And the burn it from the top and add move to keep the heat on? I feel that will be difficult because all we are adding is dimensional lumber that stacks to tight. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Our nearest neighbour is 1 mile away. He joined hast time... npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Today we are making another 2 cubit yards of #biochar from construction waste. There barrels are 4 foot wide and 4 foot high. We start the fire at the bottom, and add wood over the next 10 hours. This is great fun when friends and family join for a great time... npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms I hope so. My kids had been begging to see it go, and I have to keep telling them is got changed. So now I keep coming home to a new ittereation if a rocket tower from my 4 and 6 year old. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms The kids helping out in the mealworm shed. We love using the frass in out farden and compost. #frass #mealworms #homestead #kidsatthejob #grownostr npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Would you be wetting this a lot to get it to soak in? Thats what my intuition says we should do. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms And I like your work ethic! npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms I followerd you because of GrowNostr npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Thats right. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Yes we have chickens, ducks, a milks cow etc. I find the chickens do a good job on their own usually, but I did get this for helping make better compost and bedding options. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms We made this ourself. I will post picture of how we do it next time. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Thanks to @jackspirko for the idea of using the leaf shreader to chop up our biochar. I'm new to biochar. I tied a bulk bag onto the spout to collect all the char. This worked like cutting butter with a hot knife. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms I have been thinking about trying to build a greenhouse against our shop. This looks nice and cozy for the chickens in the winter. we live in a cold climate, so it is hard to keep chickens producing through the winters. npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms That why I joined this week also! npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms If you are also in hardiness Zone 3, and on the permaculture homestead journey, I would love to follow you. #grownostr #permaculture #coldclimate #homesteading npub1580klcjwfxgx58t3dagxrwaftxdfxr86t55h5mtm9t9t7npl98cse2rpjt Footstep Farms Hey this is Randy. I'm jest getting onto Nostr and I am looking forward to getting involved. #grownostr I hope to share our progress on out permaculture farm as we go through the years. This is an interesting journey. I hope there is the value to stay around also. #permaculture
