I WENT AMISH?!?!

|

I never knew much about the Amish and certainly had never seen inside the house of Amish farm family. This is a very interesting video to watch. While I doubt I would ever be into being into being Amish or religious there is a lot of things common the way a lot of off-griders live and it's pretty neat.

These Pigs DON’T Root!

Everybody seems to be talking these days about Idaho Pasture Pigs. But you really got to make sure they have enough pasture, enough grain and enough minerals to make sure they don't make a mess of your pasture.

AgPhd Compost vs Manure #1074

|

Darren and Brian Hefty discuss the benefits and challenges of using both compost and manure fertilizer.

Cattle and hog manure an be spread fresh or it can be composted. In short, composted manure smells a lot less, and weights less due less water so you can spread more nutrient with less trips, but it takes a lot longer for the nutrients to be absorbed into the soil. Fresh manure delivers nutrients with a punch, especially liquid manures that get down in the soil or are injected with a drag line. Interesting, short video.
