Kindbuds 2022 Back At it Grow

[Kindbud]

And the pine needles are a great idea. Helps the ground retain water, and makes a great natural camouflage.

Yup yup someone on here recommended it you maybe and since I can't get the hose to this location I ran with it and yea It being pine trees around helps it look natural and blend in

 

[Kindbud]

It was @DavidfromMichigan that recommended mulch and I went with pine needles to blend in

 

[boo]

I drive thru georgia fairly frequently and can attest that there ain't no shortage of pine needles there...heck, I see bales of them being shipped to bordering states...great mulch KB...I assume the foot is doing better...

 

[Kindbud]

Yea boo it's getting better not hurting like Sunday that's for sure

 

[Kindbud]

Males getting pulled

 

[boo]

[Kindbud]

21-3males -1animal loss = 17... I know 8 or so are females so I'll watch the others and see as they grow and get bigger if I end up with 10 nice big females I'll be happy

Are you going to have problems with frost come harvest season?

The Siberian all night fire is the best fire for so many reasons. It radiates all the heat 180° and you can't see it from the other side. It's even hard to see from above. And it'll burn all night too. Very low key fire. 6 logs is all you need. Worth checking out if anyone has to deal with frost.

 

[Kindbud]

@DavidfromMichigan no won't have problems first frost is usually around late October here and most plants will be done end of September 1st week of October

fun times culling

when we plant regular seeds we always over plant to compensate for the males and runts

we also have to plan for crop failure due to bad pathogens like fusarium , an invasion of bad bugs like mites and locusts , and then there is hail and wind

so if we plan for 24 plants , we most likely will start out with 75-100 seeds

so yeah , fun times

 

[Kindbud]

And even then it will only frost for a couple hours and big girls will handle a frost or 2 but pretty sure last year wasn't until November until we started getting frosts and cold days
