You've never seen a tractor work like this! Grow a better garden every year!

What happens here

Ensure that elements like beehives are strategically located near the garden and orchard. The beehives shown are placed directly above a dwarf fruit tree orchard to maximize pollination for both the fruit trees and the garden vegetables. Similarly, the chicken coop is situated close to the garden so that chicken manure can be easily collected and composted, providing a rich organic amendment for the soil. This integrated approach fosters a symbiotic relationship where various components of the homestead support each other, attracting crucial pollinators and beneficial insects.

Goal: Position beehives and chicken coops strategically near the garden and orchard to enhance pollination and provide organic amendments.

What they say

Hide

time so you'll notice that the chicken coop is right here close to the garden so that we can use the manure from the chickens right here on the garden and not have to transport it too far I guess this is going to serve as your a tour of the garden for the year here so the chicken coop is here the outside run is there we take the poop from the coop and we're going to compost it later on in the year we're going to show you how to build a composter so that you can start composting all your food scraps and all of your vegetable scraps from your own table and your eggshells which is very important for stopping blossom in right so your garden needs those minerals and your chickens need those minerals too but I don't suggest that you feed your eggshells back to your chickens it might inspire them to start eating their own eggs which is not a good thing so over here we have the garden down below the garden is the orchard so we have the orchard down here with about 60 or 70 fruit trees and as you can see the honeybees are here we are expecting the bees to swarm any time so we may get a special treat later on today with the honey bees swarming we have them directly above our orchard and these are all dwarf type trees in other words they won't grow to like 30 feet tall that's good because the bees will come out of the hive and land on a tree in the orchard and we can capture the swarm and put it back in a bee box so guys a lot
