Changing of the Seasons | Fall Harvesting on the Southern Kenai Peninsula

Fall is coming to an end, so that means it's time to get our garden prepped and ready for the spring! We harvest the last of our tomatoes and carrots, seaweed for the garden, grouse for dinner, and berries for dessert. Fall harvest at its best!
Special thanks to @AnAlaskaHomestead for the KZread short suggesting seaweed for gardens! We can't wait to see how our gardens do next season.
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!

    Only a little advice, there is a really great channel out in Alaska, and they amended their soil with spent grain. So if you are near to a brewery maybe they will sell a trailor full.Should be cheaper than compost

    So beautiful and serene. I love everything that you are doing and for the short time that you have been there you have accomplished so much. All of the additives that you are adding to your gardens should be tilled into the soil even if it is using a pitchfork. It helps with the growth by getting it down to the roots of where your plants will grow. Love your videos and I am always looking forward to the next one.

    Thank you! In the past, we have always tilled our gardens on the east coast but we did not have raised mounds. We planned to use a power cultivator on the rows in spring, hopefully, that is sufficient? The ground is unfortunately frozen here now and it is no longer possible to tend the soil until spring.

    I heard you should cover your garden dirt, once you amend it, because Mother Nature wants the ground dirt to be covered, to prevent it from washing away, so if you don't cover it, even with old newspaper, or some of the old clothes you found, or even cardboard, weeds will greet you in the Spring. The good thing about using newspaper or cardboard is it composts and adds to your garden!

    Since you have a tractor, I think it has a backhoe on it, you could dig a long trench about 8 feet deep and bury an 8 or 10 inch piece of flexible black 0plastic tubing that you bring the end of up into the greenhouse. Take advantage of ground warmth by blowing air through it to keep the greenhouse warm during the winter and see if you can grow vegetables like this. I saw this done in a Nebraska KZread video where they grew tropical fruit in the middle of winter. I wish you well and I enjoy your KZread videos.

    SUGGESTION Idk if Alaska has this, but in the midwest, many counties, cities or States (you just have to look it up) have free or minimal cost soil testing. I use it for reseeding and starting new lawns, but diy farmers and others use it for getting their soil right for particular crops. Fortunately, mine`s in the county and i drop the samples off and they mail amd email me the results. The results are really interesting. You pick out a plot and take several samples from that plot or particular area, mix them together, take a small bit out of that, put it in the supplied bag, then send it in. They offer 2 free test a year but cost above that if you have more. If may not be practical for u if u have to drive far but if you have to go to a major city or near a agricultural university u could drop samples off. They also have mail in service. - Good Luck

    You must use chicken manure for fertilizer in the greenhouse, but you must be careful not to give too much chicken manure is a strong natural fertilizer personally, I'm sorry for fertilizers at this time of year when the rain and water wash the fertilizer out so that the new plants don't absorb the fertilizer before it flows into lakes and bogs you can easily use chicken droppings in the open garden too. The partridge is a delicate food. expensive to eat in Europe. The partridge must be plucked, never skinned.

    The straw was certified seed-free. Unfortunately, leaves are something we are lacking in this area. We do have an abundance of fireweed and often wonder if using it to insulate the garlic is a good idea. The fireweed would introduce seeds to the soil, but it is free if it works.

    O wow big change! We wish you good luck with your farming endeavor! In case your plans change and you stay, there are a lot of regulations for collecting kelp but collecting dead kelp from the high tide line like we did for personal use is perfectly fine but it does have specific dates you are allowed to collect it. To collect live kelp, I understand there is a permit involved and certain areas are restricted. I did not take your comment as disrespectful, although it is tough to differentiate sometimes in text what someone's intent is. We give everyone the benefit of the doubt. You may be shocked to hear this but we have been severely harassed by a few Alaskans in the comments section on other videos and in comments like that it is easy to see I'll intent because they are cussing at us or making threats... I would not be surprised if someone did try to get us into trouble if we were to be in the wrong after some of the nasty things that have been sent to us 😂 it has been interesting being subject to public scrutiny on KZread, to say the least. Thank you and safe travels on your trip to Tennessee!
