2008/05/11 in Garden, Mushrooms, Podcast, Poultry, Rabbits, Turkeys by andrew | 5 comments

  • Intro
  • Farm Phone 206-202-GOAT
    • Call 1 – squirrel & raccoon problems in garden
    • Matt in Ohio – sparrows in barn, turkeys & chickens together – protozoan disease (blackhead)
    • How do we get along?
    • Ellen – coated fleece rant!
  • Round-Up
    • Numbers
    • Baby, Molly
    • Rabbits
    • Tilling & planting
    • Morel Mushrooms
  • Farm – Seed Planter
    • Earthway planter purchased from Lehman’s
    • 11 different plates (comes with 5, 6 optional)
    • Benefits:
    • Adjustable seed depth, row width. Plate controls how far apart each seed is dropped.
    • Cut the time to plant the garden by something like 90%, and no sore back after!
    • Negatives
    • Need to till the soil
    • Must be relatively flat
    • Twigs, sticks may be caught in it as you are going through the soil
    • Need a good amount of seed, may not work on small sampler packs
    • Loss at the end of row, very short rows don’t work well
    • Conclusion – We love it so far, waiting to see how germination is!
