College Hill Farm is a Homestead/Hobby Farm operated by Joel and Crystal Eldridge. We homestead, garden, can, freeze, store, dehydrate, raise animals, vlog, and write about the homesteading way of life, which is really an Appalachian way of life for hundreds of years. We provide time honored traditional advice from years of experience. We also try new things we have never tried before to see how they work for us. Be certain to visit our channel page at ua-cam.com/users/collegehillfarm On the page you can see our trailer which details why we are on UA-cam. So subscribe and join us on our journey. If you hit the little bell it will notify you when we upload videos. We upload every Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday. Sometimes one or sometimes 5 videos are uploaded depending on what went on on the homestead that week. Feel free to contact us by snail mail at College Hill Farm PO Box 89 Paint Lick, Ky. 40461 You might also catch up with us at Village Fest - In the Historic Village of Paint Lick the first Saturday in October.

      Just follow the bag but add dehydrated tomatoes as many as you want to the water at the beginning. Let them set for an hour. Then cook the rice like on the bag with a little olive oil or butter whichever you prefer. Then when it is done take it off the heat and add about 3-4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Stir it in and serve. It is so good. It is the Virgo Yellow Rice.

Think of it logically, your age and weight you should have had one already anyways. I met a guy from working at his house, he was about 70 at the time, him and his wife had just moved to town and I let him put deer stand on my property, as we were working I told him he had heart problems, he scheduled doctors appointment, called afterwards and said, doctors said I'm fine, I said, I don't believe it, see a cardiologist and get a stress test! Couple weeks later he called and said, I always wanted to ride on a helicopter, but not like I did. He had a heart attack and they flew him to a different hospital for surgery. You are not getting enough oxygen and blood flow. Minor work and movement are making you not even being able to talk with sucking for air. Again, what is it going to hurt?

I don't know the exact type of tomato it is, got a mix packet of 5 different indeterminate varieties, all under the same conditions, nutrients, and watering schedules. But out of the 8 plants, that plant is the only one twisting. I even applied some liquid calcium to the plants with no changes.

      I went and bought a couple of feeler gages at harbor freight and put them under and they have fixed that problem. Used just the blades with the exact thickness needed.

    Professional grade black woven ground cover is the only way I will even attempt to garden. I set it up once and leave it over winter. Replant in the same holes. Just make sure to put some good cinder blocks down in addition to stakes. It’s annoying if it comes up. I get teenage boys to lay it out for me. I don’t do well getting down on my knees. When I put in my plants I use a rolling stool. My husband will row crop and use wide rows and go down it with the tiller. That’s fine for him, but I don’t find that kind of thing accessible to me as a woman with small fine hands and delicate wrists. We all got to figure out the way we can get it done!

      Yes we do. I can't do all that bending over to plant in landscape fabric. It kills my back and legs. Even with a stool. I made me a nice little stool but it hurt so bad to get up off of it it just wasn't worth it to me.

    thank you for the golden nuggets of tips from your years of experience. at the end of the season could you do a video of how you harvest seeds from your crops for the next year or 2 for planting? thank you again

      Yes I do videos on that every year can't imagine how this year will be any different.

    I have gardened in 3 states, TX, GA & AL. In the last 2, I've tried the Back to Eden style gardening. I found it worked well in GA clay except for direct sowing seeds. The 4-6" of wood chips would be completely composted by the next growing season, so I would direct seed and let the plants grow before adding the wood chips. It was backbreaking work to shovel and haul wood cold and put on more layers every spring and spread wood chips 2-3x a year in between each time we grew something. And it took an enormous amount of wood chips that eventually we weren't able to source. Had the same issues in AL. For row cropping, in both states, all we had was a walk-behind tiller.. The clay soil was too hard in GA for me to use it so i had to wait for my husband's muscles and time. He never had some to do tilling more than once, so I couldn't keep the weeds back in a 2000+ sq. ft garden area plus orchard and taking care of livestock and children and homeschooling. Husband works construction off the farm. So we went to raised beds and intensively growing in them. It used less mulch, less manure and other soil additives like compost, fertilizer, lime, etc. and was more manageable for me to do alone once the beds were built and filled. I've gone back to raised beds and using leaf mulch that I collect all fall as it's lightweight enough for me to put out. I compost everything else i collect with my chickens doing the work and use their bedding and the compost to keep the beds topped off once a year with either hubby's help or hired help for a day now that the kids are grown and my muscles aren't enough. I use landscape fabric in the walkways so I don't have to weed eat or mow between beds. Gardening is finally fun again and still very productive. I still garden in any 2000' of space, but now I have herbs and flowers too as the raised beds are so productive since the weeds are minimal and the height is helpful for my back.

    I feel like a lot of some of the newer gardening methods are people just saying; "Hey have you tried throwing time, money, and effort at the problem?" which isn't really practical in the real world. I don't like using plastic but the back UV stable weed fabric and using silage tarps to kill weeds is really the only practical thing that works for me.

      With my back I just can't do the weed fabric. Some of these things are tougher than they make them appear.

    So what kind of fertilizer do you use?

    • @CollegeHillFarm
      @CollegeHillFarm 22 дні тому

      I use granular fertilizer 10-10-10 not a certain variety. Whatever is available locally.

    My father used to get a cotton rag damp, scatter seeds on it, roll it up, and put it in a soup where it would stay warm then check on it every day/make sure it's damp. Then he could count the number of sprouts to check how good old seed was.

    • @CollegeHillFarm
      @CollegeHillFarm 22 дні тому

      I do that with paper towels and a ziplock bag

    You know you can buy higher number fertilizer for same price and just use less?

    • @CollegeHillFarm
      @CollegeHillFarm 22 дні тому

      It is not the same price here. Also, it is a matter of availability. Small towns only have one or 2 places you can get it.

    You are obviously smart enough and educated enough to know that conspiracy and theory are two different words, with two different meanings. Conspiracies are a fact of life - that's just the way it is, and always has been. Many theories have been proven to be facts. When the two words conspiracy and theory are used together our minds have been programed (educated) to dismiss what follows with ridicule. The fact that there are chem trails is becoming common knowledge. I enjoyed your channel.

      I have found that most (90%+) conspiracy theories are not truthful at all. Most are made up for a political agenda.
