Transline herbicide safe over trees?
I used Transline herbicide which is very directed at thistle. I used transline instead of crossbow or other 2-4D products because I wanted to spray over the top of young growing Christmas trees. The results in the pasture and on the Christmas trees was great. Dead thistle, no negative affect on our Nordmann fir Christmas trees. #transline @FlanaganHomestead

Ep.#1 Hobbit house build, choosing site and excavating
Переглядів 2677 годин тому
I am building a hobbit house completely designed by me and I will do all the construction. I will be renting it out on hipcamp.com. The uniqueness of the project should make it popular. This video focuses on the site selection and excavation. The inspiration obviously comes from the Shire on the Lord of the Rings movies and books. #hobbithouse @FlanaganHomestead
Firewood stand opportunities sometimes find you.

At our firewood stand where we sell bundles. We sell a lot of camp wood. I have had requests for kindling to use as a fire starter. I had t done it yet because of a lack of convenient wood for this. I recently got the opportunity to acquire cut ends of cedar fence boards at a good price to make kindling. @FlanaganHomestead
How to keep chainsaw from binding in a log and how to get it out.

If you have been cutting in the woods you have probably had your saw get stuck in a log. This happens because leverage on the log causes it to pinch your chain saw. There are a couple ways to keep it from pinching and a good way to get it out. @FlanaganHomestead
How to easily load cattle panels into the bed of your pickup.
Переглядів 534Місяць тому
Cattle panels, hog panels or any other fence panel can easily be loaded into the bed of your pickup. Even the ones that are 16 feet long. This can be done by simply bending them over and strapping the top panel in. Cattle panels can be used in variety of ways on your farm. We obviously use them as fencing to keep our animals in but also garden trellis supports. @FlanaganHomestead

The efficiency of my bundle production has been getting worse as my pile of wood receded back under the low roof. Now my pile stacked by the road has cured and I can start selling it.

How many sheep can you put on an acre of pasture?

Our dorper sheep are eating down the pasture faster than it can grow. We are in a good grass growing region. It is also a good time of year for growth yet the grass is real short.

    Probably 8 years that I have had chickens and the hens love to sleep and crap in the nesting boxes, and it dawned on me the other day that it might be because the laying boxes are higher than the roosts, so I'm thinking of putting my nesting boxes closer to the ground, lower than the roosts. Seeing your setup and I think that's why, because you have that perch sticking out so they can go inside and lay eggs and it's obvious that they are sleeping and crapping on that perch. Has anyone else came to that conclusion or is it something obvious that I am just now realizing? That pallet on the floor in the goat's pen is begging for rats and snakes to make their nests underneath. I wouldn't put a framed wood floor for goats or chickens because rotting is inevitable. My goats lay happily on the ground they built up with hay and their own poop. I did find some really good tips in this video though. I like what you did with the compost pile. For years I've been throwing food scraps in the chicken coop, but lately they don't seem to eat it and it brings in a ton of flies, so offering them to the goats and chickens sounds like a good idea.

    I got a couple different varieties of blueberry and grapes from Walmart. The ones in a bag with just a stem. My question is how long does it take for them to come out of dormancy? I planted them about a month ago and I’m not seeing any signs of life yet. I’ve fertaliized them I keep them well watered. I just got a tester two days ago and my soils ph is 7.0 so I’m thinking maybe that’s the main reason so I got some acidifier but since that will take some time to change the ph I’m gonna supplement with dilute white vinaigrette when I water. Any advice would be great. I’ve always grown my own veggies but I haven’t had any experience with fruits yet so I have a lot to learn when it comes to that. Thank you

    • @FlanaganHomestead

      You are correct in that your soil needs to be more acidic and need to take measures to rectify that. Even so if the plant was healthy when purchased there should be some bud opening by now and growth. I hope you were sold viable plants. Moisture in the soil is good but they don't want to be too damp for an extended period of time.

Driving 65 mph and that happens it could mean death. I will do a youtube video of it when I fix it. I would buy one but would check all the main welds first.

    A diamond blade for a circular saw will cost you around 13 dollars and you won’t have all those chunks of metal flying around and hitting your hands and face not to mention the teeth that will come off of your skillsaw blade that is not made for what you’re trying to do with it . The diamond blade will also last for hundreds of jobs . Ear protection should be a priority .

    I wasted over $1,000 in a 10 wire barbed wire fence (prior was a 5 wire fence.) and it was a little less than a waste of money. I'm surprised your goats haven't ripped apart or eaten that barn where they sleep. My goats have plenty of pasture, but still love to rip apart and eat their shelter. I'm really wanting to get one of those heavy metal tunnels made for goats (domed so the goats can't climb on it.) and build a shelter for raising babies and milking goats. Zero shots for my goats. I'll never have a wether again. Mine was overly active and zero benefit to me, so finally got rid of it about 2 weeks ago.

      If you put a partition divider in their trough/feeder. The aggressive one won’t pull his head away from the food to butt the other one. At least he won’t do it until he is done with his side. This gives the smaller one a chance to eat before the older is done on its side. The wider the divide the better.

    I'm from Europe and we have a neat little way of dealing with smaller leaning trees that pose a danger of barberchairing. If the tree is too small to make a horizontal plunge cut after you make your face cut, you can bore cut the holding wood (minus the hinge ofc) diagonally. ua-cam.com/video/U8188I6H7Uc/v-deo.htmlsi=4A2IBBRAbshz1VoP&t=2194 (timestamp is 36:33). The small trees are often as deadly as the big ones, even more so because most people tend to ignore the massive amounts of spring energy they have when they split.
