Spring farm tasks and digging/dividing dahlias in SPRING instead of fall
Просмотров 13 тыс.Месяц назад
Well, it's been a heck of a week, folks. I'm still reeling a bit but wanted to share our dahlia process. When I started overwintering our dahlias in the ground and dividing in spring, folks thought I was nuts. Most farmers dig up the tubers in the fall and divide, storing all winter. And while we've done that before, we have losses in storage and it's a lot of work. I LOVE doing this instead so...

Such a great video! How far apart did you plant the lavender?
I like both lists😂😂
My only complaint is the blurred images. & I can't read the text placed in the video.
Its goofy cause how do people think they survive on their own normally? Leaves shed from trees creating a barrier then then the snow insulates.
Bloomsom & Branch: It a matter of courtesy to write to me in view of my continuous messages you!!! On a fee, I want you to help my Regenerative Agriculture in Africa. The government will take interest in my agricultural endeavors. There was once you showed three (3) fingers, you also showed two (2) fingers and ended up with a finger. Please explain what you were communicating. Be nice to me and the Africans; for I need and want your help!!! God bless you and yours. He loves you and so do I. jtsdrd, USA/Africa
I would absolutely slip on that when it’s wet and break my neck 😂
When you want the materials to have a useful lifespan?
Lovely. Where I live it would get slick and mossy so I won’t be trying it. I do wood chip pathways through our woods. It lasts a surprisingly long time if the path is getting use.
I believe that. 😢
Does the moisture content on the soil or cover crop need to be accounted for when covering to kill? Thinking of wanting to prevent mold growth.
There's nothing wrong with building something that will eventually return to nature - as will all of us, of course. There's no good reason for creating a tripping hazard, however.
Sentiment aside, a path that's nothing but cracking, splintering, uneven wood is a severe trip hazard and unsafe. Imagine carrying a heavy pot and catching a toe on the jagged edge of one of those splitting stump sections. Hospital trip for sure.
Hydraulic oil and motor oil is free from shops and will help a lot. You can add tint for color of your choice.
Quiet, sweet quiet. Wish my neighbor would stop with the gas powered junk and get electric or do it by hand or maybe just let the wildflowers grow and help the bees, the farmer and his own garden. Mow less, bee more.
What’s ur zone? I’m 5 this might not work here.
Everything was sweet until the feminist one
Honestly idk if i have ever seen one in real life
Ooooooooh
Ah yes, burning fossil fuels to very temporarily prolong the life of the path before it "returns to the earth". The greenwashing is strong with this one.
Angry men? I think this is one of the most attractive things. A woman can do being helpful inside or out the house as well as being beautiful.
And no fertilisers..
I really like mulch paths for the same reason. It serves a purpose of adding something to the environment. Its not just for me. Plus i can get free mulch. A bit of work for something completely free just makes sense and is a net positive.
If you had charred the parts in contact with the soil, you could have kept the live edge. Looks great either way!
Right on sister we get huge yeikds of new tubers each year doing the same thing!!!
My father had money but he refused to buy a gas powered lawn mower when I was a kid. I cut the lawn with one of those old fashioned metal non-mechanized mowers. It worked just fine. I find doing things the old fashioned way brings a great deal of satisfaction. It's a good workout, and you sleep like a baby at night after working hard.
My beloved Bloodom & Branch: I love you. I want you to help me with my Regenerative Agriculture in Africa. It is commitment to help the soils, grow healthy crops, healthy animals, healthy fish, healthy birds, healthy botanical products, healthy food and healthy humanity. We can help mitigate climate change devastations!!! Would you like to help me? God loves you and so do I. jtsdrd
Exactly. 🙏💜✨️
Where can i get these???😊
Thanks 😍😍😍! So helpful!
Agreed❤😂🎉❤
Do you sell those hats?? (The one you’re wearing in the video??)
Where do you get it?
Try your local farm store. Ours sells used coffee bags for super cheap (less than $5 each).
You find something that makes you happy and then comes the stress & negativity and honestly elitism. So tired of this.
Not wanting to ingest microplastics is not elitism. People in the comments are suggesting using burlap bags as a replacement, which are literally cheaper. You sound RIDICULOUS.
It looks beautiful! It's all a learning process anyway.
Exactly we should be utilizing natural processes to live in harmony with Earth rather than destroying our own environment to produce things that will outlive us. Certainly some things should be "built to last" but we need to work on the full circle cycle of items from production all the way to recycling and reuse for that to even make sense.. and when there are better choices to be made, like using materials that can easily be taken care of by natural processes from beginning to end, we should do that. I agree and I like your path :)
Girl all i need to know is how to get rid of dog fennel on my pastures without herbicide. If you think mass overseeding in fall will work on a scale of 4-5 acres, just tell me what seed. Ill try!
I live in zone 7 and the Dahlia tubers that I left through the winter in pots turned to mush. I assume they must have frozen. 😢
Do you have other low thorn varietals you recommend besides Queen of Sweden?
That's one beautiful path
Plus you can pose and look bad*ss
Blahblah blah. Humans fed ourselves for 1000s of years with this bs
Mulch doesn't do all the work
I like that it’s a bit cracked and worn down. A lot more interesting than gravel or concrete as long as it’s safe and stable to walk on
Sweet cuties.
This was super helpful!! Thank you!
Cut the circling roots, never had an issur
I'd just get someone else to do it for me!
I think it's pretty clear that the issue is not that it's returning to the soil. The issue is that you rely on it to walk on and it won't be as level and safe to walk on as the wood decomposes. You're also going to need to regularly replace and maintain the path. That's not necessarily bad, but when it's one of a billion things to replace and maintain, cumulatively, that could be a lot to deal with.
Gorgeous and earthy
