Garden

Six foot high tomatoe set up. Will prune vines we they grow and develop a tunnel of tomatoes...Will string hemp twine on top so vines can grow both up sides and on top.....Entire garden is covered in landscape cloth for weed control. Garden is irrigated with drip tape, from artesian well water filtered and ran thru a water restructure system. Chickens free range all winter in garden, soil is awesome...

Thanks CC the landscape cloth is awesome, will last several years, we bought the quality Heavy Duty cloth keeps soil warm, saves water, prevents weeds, pays for itself

 

[chickenman]

Farm truck..1948 GMC... Bought truck from the orignal owner. It never left his farm. Currently has only 15,000 orignal miles. Runs like a sewing machine...

 

[chickenman]

Not exactly from the garden, but we still raised these milk and grass fed young goats, not easy having to butcher...

 

[DowNwithDirT]

WOW, chickenman, you are living the dream! I wish I had a setup like that...I'm just getting ready to build my planter box on my patio today. Using a mix organic compost, peat, and sandy top soil for water retention. Got some decent sized plants for the planter, throwing in some herbs, basil, mint, catnip (yea our cat loves that shit), as well as some vegetables, zuchinni, butternut squash, three different peppers, and strawberries. Also got some nice heirloom tomatoes that shouldn't get too viney and do okay in the planter, but the hybrid tomatoes I'm keeping in separated pots, as they will grow like nuts and take over the planter if I allow them.

I'll be watering and feeding this garden with the runoff from my organic indoor garden. Recycle, baby!

Also going in is a few Deep Chunk plants I started from seed earlier this year. Not looking for any substantial harvest on those, nor am I culling the males. Just tossin' em in there to do something with 'em! Oh, and if you are in Boulder County and your outdoor cannabis plants end up getting pollenated....sorry, it was probably me and you probably have a nice DC hybrid! LOL!
