This is part 2 of the day's work on our homestead. I finished planting the mulberry trees and rose bushes and then started working on the fire wood pile for winter heating. After planting the mulberry trees I hauled over some partially composted chicken manure and spread a ring of that around each tree. I put it far enough away that it is not directly over the roots of the tree. As it grows and spreads its roots out, it will find the nutrients because they will slowly absorb into the soil. I then put mulch around the base of each tree to retain moisture and protect them from the intense heat of the sun. Ryan is coming back to our town, he says. He called my parents place to warn them that he was coming. I have no idea what he is talking about but in the comments he says I have been harassing him and spreading lies so the war is back on. I am only mentioning this because he is all over the comments on my videos. But you all know that I was not even online during the period he claims I was harassing him. And you will not find any negative comments from me about him. So if any such comments do exist, which I doubt, then it was most likely a fake copy of my channel. You can easily find out if a channel is a fake or not by clicking on the channel name. My channel has over 100,000 subs and nearly 2,000 videos. The imposter will not have any content. Anyway we are going to continue working on the homestead as usual. I cut about half the remaining logs out in the back yard which we will be using to heat our off grid tiny house this winter. I used a tank of gas on the job, which I think is pretty good. I hauled about 9 wheelbarrow loads of cut fire wood from out back over to the wood pile and stacked it. I have about 2 face cords of fire wood stacked up now. I need much more though. I figure I have about 2 full cords on the property now and am going to buy two more cords of aged hard wood. Plus I plan to get about another cord or so of pine from our second property and let that cure for use. This is all dead standing wood so it just needs to be cut, split and dried out for winter. Melanie is putting kale in the freezer for later use in the winter. We will have some garden veggies this winter to keep us healthy. Our kale is growing very well this year. Thanks for watching.
